Kerensky Finds

gone to Russia and have returned to re-

it calls "a savage attack on Kerensky"
in "The New York Times" (which seems
born of greater desire to serve Tory
ism than to serve democracy in Russia
and the world" ''The Globe" then pro-
ceeds with defence and partial vindl-
cation Of the one-time Russian leader:
"1t is not difficult to draw plausible in
dictment of Kerensky. At the beginning of
the Russian revolution he was the leader of
the Socialists of the Duma, and such to
some degree was bitten with the disease of
Leninism. He committed the great mistake
of countenancing the idea that it was per-
mssible for Russia to play lone hand

Text of Address.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE president IS
speech follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress:
On the eighth day of January I had
the honor of addressing you on the OBJ
jects of the war as our people conceive
them.
The prime minister of Great Britain
had spoken in similar terms on the fifth
of January. To these addresses the Ger
man chancellor replied on the twenty
fourth and Count Czernin, for Austria,
on the same day. 1t is gratifying to
have our desire so promptly realized
that all exchanges of view on this great
matter should be made in the hearing
of all the world.
Count Czernin s reply, which is direc-
ted chiefly to INV own address on the
eighth Of January, is uttered in very
friendly tone. He finds in my statement
a sufficiently encouraging approach to
the views Of his own government to jus
tify him in believing that it furnishes
a basis for a more detailed discussion
of purposes by the two governments. He
is represented to have intimated that
the views he was expressing had been
communicated to me beforehand, and
that I was aware of them at the time
he was uttering them; bat in this I
am sure he was misunderstood. / had
received no intimation of what he in
tended TO say. There was, of course, no

Paris, Jan. 15.-(By Mail) Mrs
Beverly Macmonigal of San Francisco
has decided to pass the remainder Of her
days in France in memory of her son,
the late Sergeant Douglas Macmonigal
of the Lafayette escadrille, whose body
lies in soldiers grave at Thiacourt,
near Verdun.
A few days before Macmonigal was
killed in an unequal air combat on the
front, he had passed ten days leave with
his mother in Paris. She came to Paris
to be near him and the two had planned
to spend every possible day of future
leaves together.
A few days ago Mrs. Macmonigal re-
ceived from the French authorities the
war cross with palm, won by her son
and which was accompanied by the fol-
lowing citation:

Washington, Feb. 11.-President Will
son today openly invited Austria t.
further discussion of peace with the
United States.
In remarkable address to congress,
in join session, the president laid dowr
the basis for such negotiations. Austria
he said, seeing and conceding the es
sential principles involved and the nee
essity Of candidly applying them, can
respond to the purpose of peace as ex-
pressed by the United States with less
embarrassment than could Germany,
No peace is possible, he declared, OH
German Chancellor Won Hertling's ba-
sis individual barter and coneess-
ionD.
The address was another broadside
in the president IS world campaign of
"open air diplomacy"
1t was an open bid to Austria and
a powerful stroke at the German militar.
lists. 1t aimed again to widen the wedge
between the Teuton peoples and their
junker rulers.
1t the nations are TO go further in
their comparison of views, the president
declared today, this foundation must be
adhered to:
One-Every difficulty must be set
tied on its own merits. 7--
Two-There shall ~ no bartering of
nations as in the congress of Vienna.
Three-The voice of the people must
direct territorial settlements.
Four-Full opportunity to carry out
well defined national aspirations must
be acknowledged.
On this foundation, the president de-
clared "a general peace can be discus
sed.'
Until such peace can be attained.
1--WE have no choice but to go on. y
Germany, the president said, is try
ing to arrange a peace following the
method of the congress of Vienna. -
We cannot and will not return to that,
He seathingly attacked Chancellor Won
Hertllng's S recent. war aims speech as
vague, confusing and full of eouivo-
cal phrases"
On the other hand, Count Czernin, the
Austrian premier, he said, "seems to
see the fundamental elements of peace
with clear eyes and does not seek to
obscure them.' He expressed the belief
that Czernin would have gone much
further in his reply to the president IS
last war aims speech elf it had not
been for Austria's alliance with and
dependence upon Germany"
In the present situation America
threatens no one, the president declar-
ed, but to the end of attaining the prin-
ciples for which she entered the war,
the United States is "rapidly mobiliz-
ing its resources. " is Sending its army
to the fighting 'front.' and putting
our whole strength into this war of
emancipation.
"And all the time she is quite ready"
he added, "to be shown that the set |
Elements she has suggested are not the
pest or the most enduring. They are
tnly her provisional sketch Of principles
nd the way they should be applied"
America s force, he concluded, ''is

will never be used in aggression or ag-
grandizement. 1t springs out of freedom
and is for the sarvice of freedom" F"
