 President Woodrow Wilson. master mind of the American people, has given to the Americans. tho British, the French the Central Powers, and in fac the entire world the greatest peace proposals made public. What great man the President really is. Without any previous announcement he suddenly appears before Congress of the United States and gives out the proposals for peace which who read deny that they sincere and thoroughly logical The fourteen different items upon which base peace for the world removes the chief provocations to the war. The United States aims shared by all of the Allies but of the Allies proposed cisely set of peace terms. The President carefully weighed world peace and by glance one can see that every nation involved in the in for a share of the peace of the world The President has granted sovereignty for the 'unspeakabe Turk" He has shown all the the Central Powers with the cepton of the Imperial German government whict will make world peace. Reading carefully his pro gram for peace-it is wonderful masterfu solution It is American, truly democratic. Broadmindedness in every of the fourteen different and dis tinct proposals.
 The President made clear at the outset of his speech that German statesmen, having again chal lenged their adversares to restate their the United States would make them that all could read and grasp He replied with positive candor; responded with simplicity, frankness and practically ended up with the statement that we must know whether German spokesmen, speaking for the German Rechstag majority for the Military party" must be clearly shown.
 The fourteen peace proposals are the most direct ever made and Germany must reply. That nations questions have been answered There is only ore reply that be made and if that reply is not sat. isfactory--then war to the end The proposals will interest the Central Powers they will broaden their own views and make them realize that a masterfuI pera domination cast aside and real democ racy will be establishedif the peace proposals are accepted
 The Socialists of Germany have demanded neace with no annexatons but with just ndemnites Presi. dent Wilson has shown them the way He has made no impossible terms for a world wide peace seen through any eyes.
