President Wilson's Word to the People
of the World Was Emphasized By the
Statement That American Troops
Would Continue to Be Sent Overseas
At the Rate of 25O,000 a Month I'm
til the War Was Won.

which MUST be left to the judgment
and advice OF the military advisors OF
the government of the United tSates
and She allied governments, and the
president feels il his duty to say that
no arrangement can be accepted by
the government OF the United States
which does not provide absolutely sal
isfactory safeguards ana guarantees OF
the maintainence of the present Mill
AIRY supremacy of tho armies of the
United States and the allies in the
field.
He feels confident that he can
safely assume that this viii also be
the JUDGMENT and decision OF the al
lied governments
The president feels that it is also
his duty to add that neither the gov
crnmen, OF the United States, nor, he
is quite sure, the governments with
, which the government of the United
States, is associated as beiliseIent
will consent to consider an armistice
so long as the armed forces of Ger
many continue the Illegal and inhu-
name practices which they still per
sist in.
"At the very time the German gov
ernmont approaches the government
OF the United tSates with proposals
of peace its submarines are engaged
in sinking passenger ships at sea and
not tho ships alone, bnt the very
boats in which the passengers and
crews seek to make their way L,
safety; and in their present enforced
Withdrawal from Flanders ard France
the German armies are pursuing q
! course OF want0n destruction which
has always been regarded as in direct
violation OF the rules and practices OF
civilized warfare
Cities ana villages, if not destroy
cd. are being stripped of all they con
tain, not only but often Of their very
inhabitants
'SThC, nations associated against
Germany cannot be expected to agree
to a cessation of arms while acts
of inhumanity spoilation and desoia
ticn are being continued which tines
justly look upon with horror and with
! burning hearts.
'It Is necessary, in order that there
may be no possibility of misundef-
standing that the presidels- should
very solemnly call the attention OF the
government Of Germany ne lansu-
age and plain intent OF th'
terms of peace which German
! government has now accepted 1t is
, contained in the address OF the pres
ident delivered at Mount Vernon or
| the Fourth OF July.
! 1T is as follows: The destruction
OF every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately, secretly and o
;, its single choice; disturb the peace o
the wald; or if it cannot be present
lily destroyed, al least It's reduction tC
j virtual impotency
I The power which has hitherto con
/ trolied the German nation is OF tr'
i sort here described. It is within th'
choice OF the German nation to altel
/ it. The presidents words, just quot
eGY naturally constitute a condition
lprecedent to peace, If peace is to come
by the action of the German people
themselves.
The president, feels bound to sal
that the whole process OF peace VIII
in his Judgment, depend upon the def
initeness and the satisfactory char
acter OF the guarantees which can b'
!, given in this fundamental matter.
i 1t is indispensable that the govern
ments associated against Germany
should know beyond a peradSentu-s
with whom they are dealing.
"The president will make sera'
