 PEACE OR CONTINUE WAR?
 Everywhere in Washington 1t was agreed that the President had made a great address, and had given expression to the views of the American people as a whole. The difference of opinion was as to whether it was a peace or war speech. Some members of both houses of Congress professed to believe that the Germans might find the terms laid down acceptable as a basis of negotiations and to hope that a bona fide offer might re- suit.
 In most quarters, however, there was no such optimism and the speech was looked upon as a great war document clearing the atmosphere for the govern ments and peoples fighting Germany, heartening the dsorganized Russians and furnishing light for the German people themselves when they want to see it.

 MESSAGE WILL LEAK
 THROUGH INTO GERMANY
 Probably in spite Of the drastic Ger man censorship rules, designed to keep the German people in ignorance of the truth, the substance of the address also will leak across the German frontiers from neutral neighb bring states and thus strengthen the hands of the German so- cialistic party in its struggle with the an-Germans and the military party.
 There are intimations, though no off cial admissions, that President Wilson and the British premier spoke with 0 full understanding as to what was to be said, and that the President, who said today there is no confusion of counsel among the adversaries of the central powers made his address supplement- ary to that of the British premier. Lloyd Georges speech was prepared before the abrupt termination of the Brest-Litovsk negotiations and he took a rather hopeless view of Russia's fu- ture. declaring that If Russia acts Independently, we cannot help the catas- trophe."
 President Wilson is much more optim- istic and hopeful of the awakening of the Russians to the dangers of the pitt fall which Germany has dug for them
