Peoples Council Sees
Peace in the Message

The Presidents message was hailed
last night at meeting Of the Peoples
Council, held in the New Star Casino,
at Lexington Avenue and 107th Street,
as return to the sentiments which
previously had caused that organization
to be branded as pro- German. Scott
Nearing, Joseph D. Cannon and Lincoln
Steifens, the three speakers, agreed
that the peace demanded was Dol
shevik peace" The meeting sent a
telegram to the President, asking him
to recognize the de facto government
in Russia and cooperate with it for
peace.
"Scven months ago." said Cannon
"when we talked peace at Madison
Square Garden. we were denounced as
traitors. | defy the government to lay
a hand on the man who now talks
peace"
Nearing advised the audience to read
the message carefully, as it was "the
most important news since the summer
of 1914"
"The peace that seems to be coming
is Bolshcvik peace" said Steffens
who recently returned from Russia.
There were about 500 at the meet
ing, including United States Marshal
Thomas D. Mccarthy, who asked Near
ing before the speaking began why he
insisted on addressing unintelligent au-
diences on such topics. Mr.. Nearing
asked for an appointment to discuss the
point with the marshal to-day, and was
Informed that he could come to the
Federal Building any time between 10
a. m and D. m.

President Wilson's address to Con-
gress yesterday was distributed to
every news centre in the civilized world
through csS -ntially the same publicity
machinery which was utilized in send

The Committee on Public Informa-
ton and the various governmental and
commercial news agencies operating in
North and South America, Europe,
Africa, Australia and the Far East CO.
operated in publishing the address.
One hour and forty-fve minutes after
the President began speaking word was
received at the press censors Office
here that the entire address had been
delivered to all news centres in South
America. Similar adviccs were received
at intervals of few minutes later, tell.

"'rhc Presidents address bears a
message to the Russian people which

power in Petrograd do not. Whether
the Bolsheviki have been sincere in
their demand for statement Of war

cry raised in Berlin, they have their
answer. The Lcnines and the Trotzkys
must now decide between those who
sincerely are ndeavoring to protect
and aid Russia and those who count on
fattening at its expense.

Editorial comment on president Will
sons message to Congress in papers
outside of the city follows:
CLEVELAND {OHIO) PLAIN DEALER
Characteristically generous. yet char
acteri istically firm, the President again
holds out the olive branch to the Cen
trail Powers. 1t is for them to say
whether the fight shall continue to its
inevitable conclusion or shall end at
once in confession Of error and promise
of restitution. Peace is within the
grasp of the people of Germany.
ST. PAUL MINN) PIONEER PRESS
"The most important comment which
can be made therefore is that every
citizen who can read should study
this document from it's first word
to its last. He will find in the
statement Of the terms what we
believe to be the maximum of justice
in distracting tangle Of right and
wrong and the maximum of justice is
the firmest foundation upon which to
build the peace of the future.

Colonel Roosevelt, in commenting on
the Presidents message, said:

Presidents attitude in regard to Aus

when he said that we have no concern
with what Austria did within her own

"The President deserves great credit
for now having reversed this position
and declared for the autonomy OF the
subject populations in both Austria,
Hungary and Turkey. OF course, until
it is settled who is to guarantee the
autonomy, it is not possible to say
what the practical effect would be.

U-Boat Barred Zone
Extended by Germany ;
Operative on Jan. IL

LONDON, Jan. S.-Further extension
Of the submarine barred zone is an
nounced in a wireless statement sent
out by the German government. It
becomes operative on January H..
The extensions which are particu-
larized in the message affect the re-
gion around "enemy supporting points
on the Cape Verde Islands and the
point Of support of Dakar, French
Senegal, with the adjoining coastal
district. The barred zone around the
Azores is extended casterly over the
Island Of Madeira, which "scrves our
adversaries as point of support"
The Cape Verde Islands are off the
western coast of Africa and Dakar is
near Cape Verde on the African Coast.
The Island of Madeira is 44O miles
from the coast Of Morocco and lies
southeast of the Azores and on the
direct ship routes to the Cape Verde
Islands. The Cape Verde Islands and
Madeira belong to Portugal.
The German barred zone was extend
ed around the Azores late last Novem-
ber, at which time the channel te

THE WORLD:

s.,oss is the most definite and comprc-
hcnsive statement Of peace terms yet
wade bv any responsible head OF any
government engaged IN the war.
ain one rotable respect the Presi-
dents address is at variance with the
Prime Minister'S speech. Lloyd George
washed his hands of Russia, and de-
clsred that Russia can be saved only
Lv her own people President Wilson,
Who rightly believes that the future
neace Of the world depends in no small
measure upon the ultimate fate OF
Russia. refuses to abandon the Russian
oeople TO German intrigue and Gerna n
manipulation.
"A durable peace for the world does
rot depend upon the acceptance of the
Presidents programme without the
hanging of word, without the dot
tinp of an - or tho crossing Of 't';
hut it does depend upon unyleldlng
adherence to the principles OF justice
and right that he has enumerated IN
defining these terms"

fundamental, it is the very soul of the
address, the rock of safety upon which
the statesmen, soldiers and the people
of the nations arrayed against Ger
many may securely plant their feet.

Timely Advice for
Belated Gardeners

Better garden late than never. In
the May Woman's Home Companion
the Gardening Editor thus encourages
the man who has been delayed in
starting his garden:
THE accepted time for beginning Is
passed; but that is no reason for re-
garding the untoucher garden pios as
hopeless. Nothing about garden max
ing is ever hopeless until winter. or at
least. very little is. The advantages
OF soil well warmed and in fine condi-
ton for quickly working up to plant
ing consistency are with the late be-
ginner: and the elements favor rapid
gerrniuation of seed and rapid growth
after termination. So cheer up,
There will be tremendous tempta-
ton to hurry over the preparation Of
the ground in order to get the seed In.
OF course. Get this behind you and
keep it there with will: /. is q most
pernicsous urge. Work the ground ex-
actly as though it were early April:
spread manure with lime and harrow
this in. and break every hump into
dust with rake or cultivator until =
fine. soft seed bed is yorr reward. Do
not be satisfied with anything short
OF the ideal condition
Then plant: and unless your soil h
very light and therefore has ten
dency to dry out do not put the seeds
under quite SO far as YOU would IL Il
were earlier. The usual depth is four
times the diameter Of the seed: half
of this will be deep enough now. Tor
