NETS FORTH PRINCIPLES APPLIED.
After all, the test of whether it is pos
sible for either government To go any
further in this comparison of views is
simple and obvious. The principles tn
be applied are these:
First, that each part Of the final settle
ment must be based upon the essential
Justice Of that particular case and upon
such adjustments as are most likely To
bring peace that will be permanent;
Second, that peoples and provinces
are not to be bartered about from sov-
ereignty to sovereignty rs If they were
mere chattels and pawns in a game, even
the great game, now forever dlscredited,
of the balance Of power, but that
Third, every territorial settlement in
volved in this war must be made in tho
interest and for the benefit Of the popu-
lations concerned and not as part Of an y
mere adjustment or compromise Of claims
against rival States; and
Fourth, that all well defined nationa
aspirations shall be accorded the ut,
most satisfaction that can be accorded
them without introducing new or per
petrating old elements Of discord and
antagonism that would be likely IN time
To break the peace Of Europe and CON
seauently of the world.

such peace can be obtained we have

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL.
President Wilson addressed the JOINT
session of Congress today as follows:
Gentlemen OF the Congress:
On the Sth of January had the honor
of addressing YOU on the objects of the
war rs our people conceive them. The
Prime Minister of Great Britain had
spoken in similar terms on the 5th OF
January 10 these addresses the German
Chancellor replied on the 24th, and Count
Czernln for Austria on the same day.
Il Is gratifying 10 have our desire SO
promptly realized that all exchanges OF
views on this great question should be
made IN the hearing Of all the world.
Count Czcrmns reply. which as di-
rrcted chiefly 10 my own address on the
Sth oi January, Is uttered III very
friendly tone.
lie finds IN my statement a suffi-
cicntly encouraging approach to the
views II ms own government TO justify
hm in believing It furnishes a basis for Il
more detailed discussion of purposes by
the two governments. lie Is represented to
have ntimatcd the views he was express
tng had been communicated To me be-
flrchand, and that | was aware of them
a the tune hc was utterIng them; but III
this ! am sure he was misunderstood. /
had received no intimation Of what he
intended TO say. There was, of course,
no reason WHY he should communicate
privately with me. ! am quite content TO
be one al his public audience.
HERTILNG's REPLY CONFUSING
Count Won Hertllng's reply is, must
sSsy, very vague and very confusing.
Ii II full Of cquivocal phrases, and leads
u Is not clear where. But II Is certainly In
3 very different tone from that of Count
CsernIn, and apparently of an opposite
purpose. IL confirms, am sorry to say,
rather than removes, the unfortunate
impression made by what We had learned
nf the conferences AT BreSt-Litoysk. His
discussion and acceptance of our general
principles lead hlm TO no practical con-
illusions tie refuses to apply them to the
substantive items which must constitute
tho body of any final settlement.
He Is Jealous Of international action
and Of international council. He accepts,
he SANS. the principle OF public diplomacy,
but he appears 70 insist il be confined. aft
any rate IN this case, 10 generalities, and
that the several particular questions OF
territory and sovereignty. the several
questions upon whose settlement must
depend The acceptance OF peace by the
twCntN-three States now engaged In the
war. must be discussed and settled not In
general council but severally by the ma
uons most Immediately concerned BY

NORWICH TOWN
Rev. George H. Ewing, at sheltoring Arms Service, Pleads For More Wonder and Awe in Contemplating Gods Works-Miss May DowdalI Drowned at Deep River.

Rev. G. H. Ewing, pastor of the First Congregational churth, gave the Sunday afternoon address at the Shell tering Arms, taking for the text. And all wondered at the gracious words that proceeded out of His mouth. Wonder should be a part of the Christian life, he began. Moses listened with all his heart to Gods message at the burn ing bush Elijah listened to hear what God had say Isaaih heard and re- sponded to the voice of God. There was wonder and awe in the hearts of those men of old.
 At the Transfgur~tion the eternal words of Jesus were listened to with wonder by those with Him on the mount. Jesus made that same impress sion Wherever He went. People were melted by Gods message as given by His Son. The early Christians gave earnest heed as Christ's words were read to them. How is it now? Should we not listen with more reverence to Gods word? There is too little room for awe and wonder and admiration among the many marvels of today. There is something lost out of our Christian lives if wonder and awe are not awakened by the word and message of God. The heavens declare the glory of God, says the Psalmist. A little child has the attitude of won der Why cannot we catch that spir- it? Wonder is akin to worship and prayer. As we stand in the presence of the majesty of the universe let us be more filled with marvel and sur prise at what God has done for His children.
