In response to the universal query
as to the reason which impelled the
chief executive to make his appear
anuce SO Unexpectedly before con-
gress again to enunciate the aims Of
the United States and its co-belliger
ents, it was stated autoritatively that
in the opinion of President Wilson the
psychological moment had arrived
when it was necessary to make
a strong effort to counteract the evil
effects of German duplicity and dou-
ble-dealing on the Russians, who had
been charged to meet the trained Ger
man negotiators. 1t is felt that no ef-
forts should be spared to prevent
resumption of the Brest-Litovsk nego-
tiations by the Russians, without ear
nest but kindly admonition by the al
lies and America of the terrible dan
gers to which she is exposed
GERMANY'S SUPREME EFFORT.
The President assumed in his mes
sage to congress that these negotia-
tons have been broken off. Yet it is
felt in official circles here that, alarm
ed at the irritating effect upon his
own people of the sudden withdrawal
of the longed for peace with their
eastern neighbor, from whom they
had confidently expected to draw vast
supplies of food and raw material
with which to relieve their sufferings,
the Germans will make supreme eff
fort to entice the Russians to resume
the conferences by abating their first
ev+reme demands or by presenting
them in fresh and spesious language
calculated to cover their real mean

There is moreover voice calling

more compelling than any Of the NOV

apparently, is shattered, and yet their
soul is not subservient. They will not
yield either in principle or in action
The conception of what is right, OF
what is human, and honorable for
them to accept, has been stated with
a frankness, largeness of view, a
generosity of spirit and universal
human sympathy which must chal-

of mankind, and they have refused to
compound their ideals or desert others
that they themselves may be safe.

cut US to the quick and made the life

they were corrected and the world sc.

SYMPATHY FOR RUSSIA

A notable feature of the address
was the sympathetic attitude of the
president toward the Russian repre-
sentatives who dealt with the Ger
mans at the peace conference.-the
Bolsheviki,- often execrated for, their
detection from the entente and FOR
permitting themselves to be drawn IN
to the Teutonic peace trap. The Rus
SLAMS, he said, presented a perfectly
clear statement of the principles upon
which the ywould be willing to con-
chde peace, were sincere and in ear
nest, and when they found that the &C
tual German terms of settlement came
from the military leaders who had no
thought but to keep what they had
taken. the negotiations were broken
of.

the president declared, must depend

worth while; but he took care to dis

change in German institutions.
PEACE OR WAR SPEECH?
Everywhere in Washington it was
agreed that the president had made a
great address and had given expires
sion to the views OF the American
people as a whole. The difference OF
opinion was as to whether 1t was
peace or a war speech. Some mem

ESTIMATES FROM 5 TO 8

Washington Jan 9.-America's pro
bable output of merchant ships in
1916 was put at tire million tons
by Homer l.. ferguson, president
and general manager of the Newport
News Shipbiulding company in testify
ing at the senate ship building in
quiry. Estimates frequently made Of
from five to eight millions he declared
were misleading and should not be
permitted to go unchallenged.
The greatest obstacle now in the
way of rapid construction, Mr.. Fer.
guson said, is poor housing facilities
for shipyard workers. His story OF
housing conditions at New port News
so stirred the committee that a sub
committee comprising Chairman
Fletcher and Senator Harding was ap
pointed to confer tomorrow with the
proper government bureau with a
view to obtaining immediate relief
there and elsewhere.
Ferguson Makes Impression.
The testimony of Mr.. Ferguson
made visible impression on the com
mittee. He did not hesitate to criti
CHE the shipping board and the emer
gency fleet corporation and held them
to blame in large measure for the
slow development of the govern
ment's program. ..E.

on declared, lis one of the most vita

of the war;"

eminent to build houses for shipyard

REPLY 70 LEON TRo1zkE

Another reason for tOday's address
is found in the necessity Of making
some reply to the request Of Leon
Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign min
lister, that America and the entente
allies join the peace conferences
! Germany having made it condition
of any peace agreement that Russia
should bring her -belligerents into
! the negotiations. Not having recOg-
nzed the Bolsheviki regime as the
Russian government, the only feasible
, way of communication with it appear
ed to be through public enuncia-
ton of American war aims, following
the example of Lloyd George. 1t will
be necessary to the success Of this
o. purpose that circulation Of President
Wilson's address shall be effected in
Russia, to which end the fun text of
the speech was sent by cable and
wireless to all the principal capitals of
the world for distribution.
GERMAN CENSORSHIP
Probably, in spite of the drastic
German censorship rules, designed to
keep the German people in ignorance
of the truth, the substance of the ad-
dress also will leak across the Ger
man frontiers from neutral neighbor
ing states and thus strengthen the
hands of the German socialistc party
in it's struggle with the Pan-Germans
and the military party.
There are intimations. though no Of
fetal admission, that President Will
son and the British premier spoke
with a full understanding as to what
was to be said and that the president
who said today there is no confusion

premier.

EVACUATION AND RESTORATION.
One instance is the use of the term
Evacuation and restoration" by Pres
ident Wilson in regard to Belgium in
stead Of restoration and reparation."
This restoration the president is
said to hold, must be at the expense
of Germany and not of all Of the war

not regarded as substantial 2

ITALIA IRREDENTIA
The demand for the readjustment
of Italy's frontiers along national lines
is expected to be welcomed by the
Italians as full recongition Of their
Italia Irredentia'' aspirations, some
thing heretofore not forthcoming from
America.
In his article providing for an in
dependent Polish state, the president
is said to mean that freedom shall be
given not only to Russian Poland, but
to the Poles in Austria and Germany.
1t also is stated that the demand for
free and secure access to the sea-
for the new Polish state does not
mean that Poland should extend her
soveignty over eastern Prussia to the
Baltic sea, but simply that she should
be given the right to free communica-
ton with the Baltic sea ports, a pri-
vilege similar to that enjoyed by Ger
many in traversing Hollands terri
