 During his speech, Senator Sher- man re erred to repeated failure on his part to obtain information through the war department rela> tive to soldiers abroad and declar- ed the navy department was the only place where he had found human sympathy and prompt ac" tion."
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader, repiled to and de- uied in the senate today the charge made yesterday by Snator Lewis of r inois, Dmocrat, that the Repub- iicans were attempting to embarrass Wilson abroad and prevent unity in the senate. He declared peace nego- tiations should be completed as ouikly as possible, for every days delay made it more difficult to make peace with Germany.
 Senator Lodge said that as far as he was concerned the charges of Senator Lewis and similar ones made by Senator McKeller. of Ten nessee, were unfounded and he knew the same was true of Senator Knox, who also was mentioned by the Democratic spokesnen
 "The ambition or the fate of pres idents of political parties are infin- itely of small comparison to what is before the senate" said the Mas sachusetts senator. He said the po- sition he had taken in favor of post ponirg the question of league of nations and other of President Will sons points, was aot a personal matter; that the peace of the world was involved.
 "In my own opinion" he added, referring to the league of nations plans and also that of freedom of the seas, these questions should fol- low and not precede peace with Germany. The days ace going by with nothing being done regarding peace. The war is not over and will not be until peace has been made. Every day makes more difficult the making of peace with Germany.

STABLE GOVERNMENT BEFORE WHINING AT
 A HARSH ARMISTICE

London, Jan. 3.-(British Wireless Service. 1.-The Vossisiche Zeitung of Berlin, pointing out that it is useless for the Germans to complain of the harsh" tones of the armistice, and to plead for food from their former enemies until they establish a stable government in Berlin, says:
 All that sort of thing is officially calculated to confuse the real issues and to miss the only way that leads |out of disaster. It is matter that concerns all the allies, not France alone, and the allies know very we'll what they ought to know. They have decided to help Germany when their conditions are fulfilled. Their de. mand is the restoration of order in Germany The allies demand visible guarantees that Germany shall no, fall out of one despotism into another and they demand that the internal con- ditions of Germany shall be placed in a position which shall forbid an archy.
 "The fuifillment of these demands does not depend on the number of con- flicting officials and least of all, on the armistice commission. It is the affair of United and determined government"
 The remedy, according to the news. paper, is to hurry forward the assembling of the National conventi7n It does not consider it possible tha, the allies will preag their word.
 Germany must look to her ow fate," the newspaper says in concln sion. Ut is no use making appeals There is still time for the German peo. pie to win back all that they have sst in the war and what they cannot dc without unity. the respect of the world and heir daily bread. But tht last moment has come, and energetic action is demanded"

President Wilson:
 Let me thank you, gentlemen, very warmly for this stirring ad- dress Because it goes straight to
 
 standing. If I had known that this important delegation was coming to see me, I would have tried to say something worthy of the occasion. As it is, I can say only that my pur- pose is certainly expressed in that paper, and l believe that the pur- pose of those associates as Paris s common purpose. Justice and right ale big things, and in these circum- stances they are big with difficulty.
 Understand, l am not foolish enough to suppose that our decisions will be easy to arrive at, but the principles upon which they are to be arrived at ought to be indisput- able, and l have the conviction that if we do not rise to the eXpecta- tions of the world and satisfy the souls of great peoples like the peo- pie of Italy. we shall have the most uneviable distinction in history Be- cause what is happening now is that the soul of one people is crying to the soul of another-aqd no people in the world with whose sentiments settlement.
