PRESIDENT

Amsterdam, Feb. ,26-Speaking be-
fore the reichstag yesterday, German
Chancellor Count Won Hertling made
the declaration: 81 confidently agree
with the four principles which in the
presidents view must be applied in a
mutual exchange of views, and thus
declare with President Wilson that a
general peace can be discussed on
such basis. Only one reserve need
be made; these principles must not

the United States, but actually recog.
nized by all states and peoples.
'But this goal has not yet been
reached, "Hertling said. "There is
still no court of arbitration establish
ed by all the nations for the preser-
walton of peace in the name of JUS
tice."

principles upon which the Entente

LEAGUE Of
THE NATIONS
President Wilson Thinks This
Essential to the Lasting
Peace
OF THE WHOLE WORLD

Paris, Dec. 19.-After four Gays
of gathering views of leaders IN
France, President Wilson's closet
advisers say he has no reason 10
change his belief that the founda-
tion of a league of nations is insepa-
rable from the actual treaty itself.
These advisers say that the Presl-
dent in explaining his definition Oh
"the freedom of the seas" will reas-
sure Premier Lloyd George that ne
has no intention of demanding a re-
duction of the British navy to
point involving the unsafety OF the
empire, but will emphasize his feel
ing that the plan of league Will
strengthen the empire.
King Emanuel, who is expected TO
arrive on Thursday already has been
fully advised of the Presidents plans
through conferences with Count ID
Cellere. Italian Ambassador to the
United States, but the President VIII
take the opportunity to make per-
sonal explanations to the King.
,The hope is expressed by those
surrounding the President that the
exchanges OF views will clear away
any partial misunderstanding
which may exist in regard to MI
Wilson's attitude and prepare the
way for the assemblage of the con-
ference with complexities removed,
so that it will be ready to deal with
principles and any outstanding dif-
ferences OF opinion that remain
In all his conferences the Presl-
dent has taken opportunity to i'm
press his view, it is said, by those
who are authorized to speak for MIN
that no one nation is entitled to as
sumo the role of master, or dictate
the manner of the conditions OF the
representations of others.
There is some indication that con-
siderable headway is being made in
this direction and that the members
of the American mission are now
seeing their way clearly. All ex'
press the conviction that delegates
will enter the conference in a splr'
it of accommodation.
Some undercurrents are inter-
preted as showing indications of re-
gret because the acceptance of Pres
ident Wilson's toints in general
way prevented some nations from
, achieving their own objects which
| might have been gained II Germa
ny's collapse had been made ever
more complete. In reply, 1t mas
been made plain to those with whom
the President conferred that the
United tates government does not
consider the war victory of arms
alone and that victory would be In
complete without an organization o.
nations to guarantee world peace.

able peace being reached through

Pope Benedict also spoke in behal
of the new countries arising fron
