The Natchitoches enterprise., 1918-02-14

President Wilson appeared un-
expectedly before Congress Mon
day and in unmistaken terms re-
piled to to the recent declarations
of Chancellor Won Hertling and
Foreign Minister Czernin concern
ing peace, which he said could
only be discussed on the basis of
permanently and essential justice,
warning the Central Powers that
the participation of the United
States in the war for emancipation
of humanity has only begun.
Ee give the following four
simple principles on which the
nations can discuss ending it;
/. Each part of the final settle
ment must be. based upon essential
justice to bring permanent peace.
2. People and provinces are not
to be bartered about like chattels
to establish a balance OF powers.
3. Territorial settlements must
be for the benefit of people con-
cerned and not merely adjustment
of rival states claims.
4. Well defined national asplra-
tlons must be accorded to all
possible satisfaction.
"A general peace uron such
foundations can be discussed, !"
said the President, until such q
peace can be secured we have no
choice but to go on"
The general principles, the Pres
ident said, have been accepted BY
every one except the military au-
tocrate in Germany.

war in a most graphic manner but
brought to bear many convincing
arguments that made his hearers
fully realize their responsibility
and need to help do their share,

their willingness to do so in every
way since the war began, and have
gone lover the top" in every
single drive.
Mr. Brooks spoke for several

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 16.-An
account of a thrilling experience in
an electrical storm on the summit of
San Francisco peak was given by
Alonzo Wells and George Dible when
they were brought to a hospital here
for treatment.
They had startsd to climb the peak
during a rain which turned into a
hail storm, accompanied by much
lightning. The ground seemed to be
wreathed in colored lights and the
rocks appeared to spout flames. As
they reached a point so feet from the
Sierra Clubs register and monument,
there was a flash OF lightning which
seemed to envelop the whole peak.
Both fell to the ground stunned
1t was an hour before they revived
sufficiently to take stock OF their in
juries. Two of Dible's teeth had been
knocked out, his clothing was burn
ed in places, his shoes had been torn
OF and his left leg was marked with
a blue zigzag streak. Wells clothing
was partly torn from his body.
