WILSON'S
ADDRESS PRAISED
Even Socialist Congressman
Has Words Of Approval for
Sentiments Expressed

Washington, Feb. 12.-Characteriz-
ing President Wilson's address as a
strong appeal to the people of the cen
trail powers, members of congress ex-
pressed unqualified approval.
1t was regarded as another big step
toward breaking the German people
away from their imperiahst masters.
"The speech puts the German rul-
ers in a most awkward position and sat
isfied me that, if our people pull to-
gether and there is no friction among
the allies, the war will not last q year,
If the expected German offtnsive on
the west front fails, as l have no doubt
it will, the Teuton imperialists cannot
keep away from their people for many
months" said Chairman Flood of the
house COMMITTEE on foreign affairs.
1.-The address puts the whole ques
ton of peace right at the doors of the
German rulers" said Representative
Sherley, Kentucky. cit points the way
to much better conditions for the Ger
man people, if they will only grasp the
friendly American hand.
Minority Leader Gillett praised the
address as Fanother clear statement
of our intents and purposes with an
appeal to the liberal peoples of the
central powers"
Meyer London, New York socialist,
epitomized the address as mainly "an
appeal to the liberals of the world to
throw off the yoke of imperialistic
domination. It indicated to me clearly
that the president sees something far
more than merely winning the war.
That comes first, but he is also deep
ly concerned in the welfare of all peo-
pies after the war The president
strove to drive home that there is in
fact an international court-publie
opinion of he world He pointed out
clearly to Won Hertling that he must
come out in the open and make clear
specific peace statements before the
bar of that court -
Representative Lenroot, republican
of Wisconsin, expressed hearty approx
al of the message, because of the
open, frank way in which the presi-
dent sent an answer back to Hertling,
specifically, but in reality to the peo-
pie Of Germany"
fFIt is a rift in the clouds, " said
Chairman Stone of the senate foreign
affairs committee. cit was a most ex
eellent and well timed speech"
Senator Gore believed "a real peace
might result from the fact

AUSTRIAN WORKERS FORCE
ACCEPTANCE or WILSON'S
GENERAL PLAN FOR PEACE

Wilson Is peace terms.
The Austrian rulers are afraid of the
future, especially if the war continues.
They have already had to back down
to avoid trouble.
The strong, new Hungarian party
plans a separate Hungarian army. The
Karolyi party refuses to join the gov
ernment party, because it wants an in
dependent Hungary. The Tissea party
is undecided.
The Czeehs are suspicious toward Ger
many and have asked appointment of a
Hungarian Austrian council 10 watch
their interests in the peace conferences.
The Pan Germans are equally suspicious
of their neighbors and are calling each
other names.
But the masses Of the countries feel
the same--the cry of both peoples IS
for bread and peace.
The Bolsheyiki movement is rampant
and growing in Austro-H Hungary and
the country is menaced by revolution
and dismemberment. The monarehists
are scared as are the Pan-Germans, who
are keenly aware of events.
The Austrian Bolsheviki are headed
by Otto Bauer, who recently returned
from Russia where he was held pris-
oner.
(Reeent United Press dispatches from
Petrograd stated the Bolsheviki had de-
cided to appoint Bauer their ambassador
at Vienna.)
The movement is spreading rapidly
among the Czechs, Jugo-Slavs and kim
dred races, who are demanding an inn

KING GEORGE OPENS
PARLIAMENT With
USUAL FORMAL SPEECH

Recently Issued and Is
Sangline of Success

London, Feb. 12.-"The aims for

fair basis for settlement of the present
struggle" King George declared today

Until recognition of our statement

Il have summoned representatives of

"The German government, however,

"Its spokesmen refused any obliga-

rightful liberties to others"
The king concluded by saying: 81

blessing on your labors."
Many American officers and soldiers
were in the crowd which lined the route

Argentine Expects To
Settle Railroad Strike

Buenos Aires, Feb. 12.--The nation
wide railroad strike was expected to be
settled today. Refusal Of British and
italian workers to join the movement,
through belief that it was inHtigated by
German propaganda-is thought to have
thwarted the strikers plans.
The strike was called suddenly Satur-
day and was signalized by extreme vic.
lence. Railroad tracks were dynamited
and many carloads Of foodstuffs and
munitions were burned. Meager dis
patches heavy censorship
characterized the situation as grave
and declared "drastic action" by the
government was imminent.
The general strikes of several months
ago were traced to German agents in
It is believed possible the
present strike had the same origin q

ish and italian workmen.

Old Struggle Over Disribu-
lion Of War Burdens J
Breaks Out Afresh .lj
CUMNIIVS AND SMITH ~
LEAD OPPOSING FACTIONS
President VIII Confer With
Leaders On Both Sides Over
Measures Of War
By L. @. Martin

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Feb. 12.-The railroad
control bill has again plunged con-
;gress into bitter fight over fair dis
tribution of the war s financial bur.
dens
Lined up on one side is the deter
mined group of men who last session
fought for conscription of wealth to
pay the tax bills. On the other side
stand the same men who so strenuous
ly opposed wealth conscription.
The issue is whether the railroads
shall be- made to bear fair share or
wars burden, or whether the people
must pay the railroads practically
what they demand, under government
control. Specifically, the battle is over
the basis upon which the railroads
shall be paid by the government.
Senator Cummins, Iowa, and his sup
porters insist that the roads should
be guaranteed their ordinary divi-
dends plus interest on their debt.
This, Cummins says, would cost the
government $750,000,000 to $775,00U,-
900 year.
Senator Smith, South Carolina, lead
ing the opposition, wants the income
computed ON three pre-war years
1915, 1916 and 1917. This, Smith esti-
mates, will cost the government from
$945, 100000 to $975,000,0OO a year.
The difference to the American peo-
Pile between Cummins' plan and
Smith s, is about two hundred million
a year.
The three year basis is that suggest
ed by the president. Senator Smith de-
clares it should be adopted, no matter
what it costs.
"If we must pour out $200,000,000 q
year to meet the demands Of service,
/ am in favor of pouring it out, that
we may get efficient railroad opera
ton"
Cummins is bitterly opposed to set
Ting the question Of compensation to
the roads through a surrender to them.
He declared today there is no reason
congress should not do "'what is just
and fair to- the railroads and the pub
lie alike"
