DISCUSSION OF
FOURTEEN POINTS
Senator Opens Ball by Asking That
Some Interpretation be
Made of the
Program.

| UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Discus-
sion of President Wilson's fourteen
peace terms broke out today in the
senate when Senator Frelinghuysen,
New Jersey, introduced resolution
calling upon the president to inter-
pref the fourteen terms. Freling-
huysen declared it impossible TO say
that the fourteen terms represent
J the views of the American people
because no Interpretation has ever
been made defining Just what the
| terms mean.
| Senator Walsh. Montana, criticized
Frelinghuysen for raising such issue
nearly year after the president out
| lined the terms" During that year,
Walsh said, no criticism or dissent
from the presidents views has been
expressed This gave the world
reason to accept the presidents views
as the voice of the American people.
Walsh said Frelinghuysen's resolu-
ton and his criticism of the presi-
dent would prove embarrassing to the
president on his peace mission
abroad.
Senator PoindeXter, Washington,
replying to Walsh, asserted that "the
American people resented the presi-
dents constant discussion of peace
and peace terms before the nation
was fairly modified for war"
| In the midst of the peace discus
sion Senator Borah, Idaho, offered a
resolution providing that as soon as
treaty of peace shall be received
! by the senate 1t shall at once be
made public and shall be considered
in the open sessions.
The resolution cited President VIII
sons first peace terms, that calling
: for abolition of secret diplomacy.
! Exclusion of Germany from the
proposed league of nations was de-
manded by Senator Kellogg, republi-
can. unless Germany changes her
attitude and changes the aspirations
and policies which have guided her."
! Kellogg supported President Will
sons plan for league, with certain
notifications. He declared that I'M
less Germany shows change Of
heart the league will be one ito see
that Germany is rendered powerless
TO renew the contest"

There is no doubt but that pros

The most important part OF the
treatment for mustard gas Is a hot
bath as soon as possible after the
gas touches the skin. Before the in
auguration of the "hurry-up" bath
outfits, gas sufferers had to be trans
ported to the nearest hospital with
facilities for bathing. This some
times means a delay of several hours
when every minute was precious.
Under the new arrangements the

as close to the firing line as possible
