Wilson Statement carbI.d.

In President Wilson's message 70
congress OF Dec. 4. 1917, no passage
can be found in textual agreement
with the quotation in the cabinet
statement. The quotation appears 20
be condensation from the following
passage in the message In question.
I'VE can do this concentrate on the
prosecution of the task OF winning the
war; with ell the greater zeal and en-
thusiasm because we know that for us
this Is a war Of high principle, debased
by no selfish ambition Of conquest or
spoliation. - = 1t is, because it Is for
us q war Of high, disinterested pur-
pose, in which all the free peoples of
the world are banded together for the
vindication of right, war for the
preservation of our nation and of all
that 1t has held dear Of principle and
Of purpose, that we feel ourselves
doubly constrained to propose for it's
outcome only that which is righteous
and of irreproachable intention, for
eur foes as for our friends. The cause
being just and holy, the settlement
must be Of like motive and quality. For
this we can fight. but for nothing less
noble or less worthy of our-traditions."

Secretary Lansing announced
further that the entente also were pre-
pared to recognize the conditions set
up bye President Wilson az the basis
for the conclusion of peace.
Germany's Sole Asset.
'The declaration OF rights emanating
from these specific declarations of all
the entente powers and the United
States constitutes Germany's sole
asset In the general moral breakdown
of international politics which has
found unsurpassable expression in the
Versailles terms. @
Germany answers then. with It's
clearly jurisdictional right In interna-
tional law. Toward the political-moral
bankruptcy OF Vervailles the German
nation stands as a creditor with un-
deniable rights. and II is not in po-
sition to yield on this chief point. Ger

1T is not the German peoples busi-
ness to indicate how it's rights shall be
realized by the fourteen points. That
rather Is the task Of those who con-
structed the fourteen points and

weapons. We do not believe that
President Wilson, Secretary Lansing
and the American people can take 9TH

cause II we treated Germany any other
than Justly and in a non partisan man
ner and did not insist on justice to-
ward all, no matter how the war end
ed. We demand nothing which we our
selves are not ready to admit"
And the German people demand
nothing more than that which Presi-
dent Wilson announced. We demand
nothing more than what America
pledged-the fourteen points proposed
in the peace terms. We do not believ.
that any one in the United States will
have the courage to claim that there

The definite statement that
Germany will not sign the peace
terms as they were presented to
her plenipotentiaries at Versailles
is made BY By the German cabinet
thru the associated Press.
Statements along somewhat SIM
liar lines by President Ebert,
Premier Schetdemann and other
Germans in high places have pre-
ceded this one. Meanwhile, Euro
pean dispatches show that Ger
many's representatives are still
endeavoring to secure modifica-
tions Of these terms.
Another note was sent yester-
day by the German peace commits
sion at Versailles to the secretary
OF the peace conference. This
is the tenth communication for
warded to tho allies by the Ger
mans since they received the
peace terms. The. contents OF the
notes are not yet known.
Today or tomorrow the German
rcpSeaeAtatives are expected to
transmit to- the allies compre-
hsnsive statement on Germany's
attitude toward the peace treaty
as a whole, specifying what points
they accept and what they want to
have modified. The f1fteen-dAy
time limit Cor them to make Known
their standpoint expires Thursday.
Up to yesterday, at least, the pre-
yalent opinion in Paris seemed to
be that Notwithstanding all their
protests, the Germans ultimately
would sign sthe treaty.
Premier Orlando Of Italy has
gone to Rome for a conference
with members of his cabinet on
certain interior and foreign gues-
tions," according to a Paris dis
patch. It seems probable, there,
fore, that the peace terms will not
be presented to the Austrian del
egation before Friday, when the
Italian premier is due to return to
Paris,
In view Of the fact that the set
tlement Of the Italian and Jugo-
Slavic claims to Fiume and parts
of Dalmatia are still not setteld,
and that every effort has been
made to bring about an agreement
before the peace terms are laid be-
fore the Austrian peace commits
sion, 1t may be assumed that Sig
more Oriando's flying trip to Rome
indicates some new development
in the work Of adjusting the sit
uatiou. Apparently Premier Or
lando at the most will remain at
Rome only a few hours.
Judge Schuenhker, who repre-
sented Tyrol on the Austrian peace
delegation, has returned to Vienna,
it is stated in Paris dispatches. 1t
is pointed out that he was bit
terly attacked by the Italian and
French press for his activities
against the Italians as Trieste
where he was stationed during the
war. It is said that Chancellor

mission, sent him back to Vienna
