LANE ExPoUNDs MEANING OF
PRESIDENTS VISIT ABROAD

Annapolis.-Commenting on Presi.
dent Wilson's trip Secretary Lane
said:
"I have seen criticisms Of the
president, and so have you, for going
across the water at this time. The
spirit which animates him in going
is the spirit of the new day. It is
the spirit Of giving youh andto your
neighbor.
ut Is the spirit that would make
this war the end Of wafs.
"The man who stands as the rep
resentative of the foremost democracy
OF the world goes to Europe not that
he may march down the Champs-Ely-
see, not that he may receive the
p4audtis of the French multitudes. But
he goes to Europe as the champion Of
American ideals because he wants to
see that out Of this war comes some
thing worth while. He would have
been derelict, he would have been neg.
ligent, he would have been false to his
own conscience and false to our idea
Of him if he had not stood in Paris
in person as the champion of that prin.
ciple which we love and those institu-
tions which we hope to see spread
around the world.

GLASS MAKES REQUEST OF
CHARITABLE AGENCIES

Washington-Secretary Of Treasury
Glass in a statement requested chari-
table organizations seeking funds by
public subscription to refrain from
making any suggestion to the public
that they will accept Liberty bonds or
war savings stamps unless they intend
to use those securities as endowment
funds to be held for permanent in
vestment.
Mr.. Glass said that in appealing
for Liberty bonds and war savings
stamps the organizations seemed to
overlook the fact that so long as the
government must sell additional Sc
curities the taking Of bonds Of pre-
vious issues by charitable organiza,
tions apd the subsequent resale Of
such bonds on the open market has .
tendency to depress the price.

Hope That Stable Regime May ~

Washington.-The Russian situation
already has been taken up by Prssi:

1t was learned here, and the deter.
mination of a definite policy on which
all the allied countries and the United
States may agree will be one Of the
first things undertaken at the preliIn.
mary meetings which are to preceae
the peace conference.
Russia's plight and the attitude to
be adopted by the victorious associ.
ated nations is recognized as one of
the most serious problems OF the con-
ference. Every proposed solution so
far is said to have been blocked by
the unanswered question Of who is
qualified to speak for the Russian
people.
Even when a set of leaders is rec.
ognized as Russian spokesmen, the
United States and the allies must face
the great question Of how they can
be aided in setting up stable govern
ment and in preventing famine, for
the benefit Of Russia herself, and In
the interest Of the peace of the world.
The government at Omsk, of which
the United States aud other govern.
ments has expected much, is now in
the hands Of dictator and split into
factions. The entente nations have
not given up hope that the Omsk au-
thorities may yet evolve stable form
Of government for Russia.

DEFINITE PLANS
SHAPING SLOWLY
PRESIDENT SATISFIED THAT THE
y FRENCH AND BRITISH ARE
: IN ACCORD WITH HIM.
MAKING PEACE IS FIRST TASK
Neutral Nations VIII Not Como Into
! s General Discussions Now Going on
.r Among Peace Delegates,

Paris.-Defnite plans for the peace
conference are not shaping as rapidly
as some of the American commission
ers expected. Meanwhile President
Wilson is taking advantage OF oppor-
tunity to assess public opinion IN
France and incidentally in Great Brit
ain. His advisers say that he Is en-
tirely satisfied that these peoples are
largely in accord with the principles
he has announced as necessary to dur
able peace.
! The members of the American mis-
sion are employing their time before
countries actually assemble, in Sc
ries Of informal conferences. which
eventually will include a representa-
tive Of each of the entente belliger-
ents. Neutral states will not come
into these discussions.
The feeling among all the entente
,conferees Is that the making OF
peace should be their first task, so
that they may determine upon the
broad outlines Of league OF nations,
which, later, representatives OF neu'
trail countries will assist In com
pleting.
While the American commission.
ers are holding these informal iex'
changes, which are designated to clear
up divergencies Of opinion. the presi.
dent is constantly. giving the closest
attention to Immediate problems: He
is receiving reports from the United
States, from Amercain diplomatic
agencies throughout the world and
from the group Of investigators
brought here for the purpose Of study
ing the many special problems which
will arrive. These investigators are
continuing their studies with the ad-
vantage now Of being on the ground.
