I The war lasted and grew greater. Each passing hour emphasized and con- firmed its original character. The ‘beauty of liberty passes_ everywhere. For half a century Alsace-Lorraine had been the symbol and the flaming torch of the oppressed. From east to west all who believed In the liberation of the oppressed and in the right of peo- ples to self-determination railied to the echoes of the Marne and of Verdun. As time passed, the circle of our sup- porters widened. And then cama the ocracy of the United States. When S tered the struggie her war aims Were indefinite, but in a few weeks she, 100, understood and had a clear con- ception of what she was fighting for. From the Atlantic to the Pacific o Word went forth: We are going to fight in Europe. Against what? Against au- tocracy and militarism. For what? Yor justice and the liberty of nations, Words, mere words, answer the “realists.” Yes, mere words, but words for which millions of soldiers stand ready to die. Words which are a living force. Words which from France have spread to the new world and have mobilized the hearts of the People, without which there can be no smilitary mobilization in a democracy. We were fighting for our ideal gnd for our frontier. America had no frontler to defend, but she adopted our ideal and made it hers. A War of Peoples. That is why—be it pleasing or not, a cause for congratulation or regret— the war of 1914 had a meaning and an alm of its ewn before any government had made a declaration. From the first day of the German aggression, it ‘was a war of peoples and of nation alities. A war for popular and na- tional rights. Such it remained to the very end. T}I")e first of these declarations dates from the 30th of December, 1916. It is handed in the name of all the allies to the American ambassador by Aristide Briand in reply to a German note transmitted by “the neutrals. ‘What does it contain? First of all, the principle that “the allied govern- ments_are united for the defense of the liberties of people: Then the assertion, “No peate is possible until urances are given that reparations will be made for the rights and lib- erties that have been violated; that the principles of nationality and of freedom of small states will be recog- nized, and that some settlement defi- nitely eliminating the causes that have so long menaced the nations establishes the only effective guaran- tee for the world's safety.”” The rights of peoples, reparations, league of nations—such is the allies’ reply in three lines. Reply to President Wilson. The second declaration was on the 10th of January, 1917. Again it is a note, handed, in the name of all the allies, to the American ambassador by Mr. Aristide Briand in reply to a question of President Wilson’s. The principal is the same, but it is de- fined in greater detail. 1. Restoration of Belgium, Ser- bia and Montenegro and of the damages they have sustained. . Evacuation of the invaded territory of France, Russia and Rumania with full reparations. 3. Reorganization of Europe, guaranteed by a stable regime, based upon the respect of nation- ality and the right of all peoples, great and small, to pursue their economic development in full se- curity apd upon territorial and international conventions guaran- teeing land and sea frontiers against unwarranted aggression. 4. Restitution of provinces or territories previously taken from the allies by force or against the will of the inhabitants. 5. Liberation of Italians, Slavs, Rumanians and Czechoslovaks from foreign domination. 6. Liberation of the population subjected to the bloody tyranny of the Turks; rejection out of Europe’ of the Ottoman empire as foreign to_westernt civilization: 7.

The allies have never aimed at the extermination of the Ger- man peoples or at their disappear- ance as a political entity. French Want Guarantees. Bear these eight points in mind. We shall meet. them again. Six months later, after a long debate, the French parliament in turn deems it necessary to declare its war aims in two formal resolutions. These resolutions asserted ‘“the will of France, true to her alliances, faithful to her ideal of independence and lib- erty for all peoples, to pursue the war until Alsace-Lorraine are re- stored, crimes are punished, damages are repaired and guarantees again further aggression by German mili- tarism are secured.” . In England. in Italy, in Belgium, the . parliaments in like terms con- firmed the declarations of their gov- ernments and the instinctive desires of their peoples. All the European allies are thus after three years of war absolutely agreed on two things: The first, that no peace is possible until victory has been won: the sec- ond, that, victory won, the allies will demand for themselves and for all nations the right of self-determina- tion for all peoples, reparation: antees and a league of nations. war aims are clear. They are public. Henceforth all men know what the peace of victory will be. Those, therefore, who are not satisfled with them can protest. But no protest is raigsed except by a few socialists who find these terms too severe. Have these war aims solemnly pro- claimed to the world been modified since? Judge for yourself. Presifent’s Fonfteen Pointa. On January 6, 1918, the President of the United States in an address to the Congress lays down “a program for world peace,” which has since be- come known as the “fourteen points. Much has been said about_them, often by those who neither knew when they were first formulated nor what they meant. It is therefore relevant to give their substance here, present- ing them in the same order as the eight points of January, 191 1. Evacuation and restoration of her sovereignty. Evacuation of French terri- tory; restoration of the invaded regions; reparations of ‘the wrong done to France in 1871 in the mat- ter of Alsace-Lorraine. 3. Evacuation of Russian terri- tory and a settlement leaving her entirely free to decide her own fate. 4. Readjustment of the Italian frontier in accordance with the principle of nationality. 5. Opportunity of _autonomous development for the® peoples of Austria-Hungary. 6. Ewacuation and restoration of Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro, with access to the sea for Serbia. 7. Limitation of Ottoman sover- eignty to regions actually Turk- ish; autonomy for all the other peoples; international guarzntees for the Qeedom of the Dardanelles. 8. An' indipendent Poland, with free access to the sea. 9. The creation of a league of nations giving mutual guarantees of political ifidependence and ter- ritorial integrity to great and small states alike. 10. Impartial adjustment of colo- nial claims. 11. Exchange of guarantees for the! reduction of armaments. 12. Elimination as far as possi- ble of economic barriers; commer- cial equality for all nations. 13. Freedom of the seas. 14. Open diplomacy; no secret international agreements of any kind. Met Only Approval ‘When on January 9 this_declara- tion, identical in meaning—especially as far as France is concerned—with the previous declarations of the al- lies, was known to Europe, it met with nothing but approval and sup- port. Parliaments and press alike interpreted it as a further pledge of America’s unity of purpose, which every one recognized to be essential on the eve of the great battle of the spring. Frenchmen saw in it also the first public recognition of their right to Alsace-Lorraine, without a plebiscite. Thus the intervention of SPECIAL NOTICES.

The divergence which later on it was attempted to establish between the former and the latter vanishes in presence of a perusal of the docu- ments. The fourteen points contain no contradiction of the previous pro- grams of peace. On the congrary, they relterate them. The United States did not conceive a peace dif- ferent from that which Europe de- manded. She defined in similar terms claims that were identical. No modi- fication of the course followed was caused by her declaration. The only reu{ult was greater and more complete unity. (Copyrigated by the Bobbe-Merrill Company.) 19TH INSTALLMENT TOMORROW. DENIES REIMBURSEMENT FOR BRIDES’ PASSAGE Yanks Paying Transportation of European Mates Must Bear Expense Themselves. Soldiers who paid for the trans- portation of European brides to this country must stand the expense them- selves, according to a ruling by Con- troller General McCarl. The govern- he held, will not reimburse soldiers for such outlay The ruling was handed down in the case of Christopher Piazza, formerly of the Army ambulance service, who asked for reimbursement from the government for passage paid by him for the transportation to this country of. his wife, whom he married in 1919 while in service in Italy. Provisions of the law, under which 123 European wives of '‘soldiers were brought to this country at the expense of the government prior to June 1920, Mr. cCarl held, do not apply where a soldier has already paid for his wife’s passage. “Such wives were transported,” he said, “because the enlisted men were financially unable to bear the cost thereof, and were transported on the credit of the United States to avoid the appearance of wholesale deser tions b; Europedn brides. The reimbursement of a soldier who at his own expense transported his European bride to the United States is within neither the reason nor the language of the law.” MEMORIAL ELMS TO BEGIN INTERNATIONAL AVENUE Trees to Be Planted Armistice Day to Be Followed by Gifts From Other Governments. Two armistice elms to be planted next Monday morning will mark the beginning of an international avenue trees, which will be planted by the American Forestry. Association, will be the first of a magnificent approach lined with memorial trees to be set in by various governments. One tree will be for the Army and one for the Navy. The elms will be placed by two rep- resentatives from each of the Ameri- can Legion posts in the District of Columbia. There will be an invoca- tion by Col. John T. Axton, chief of chaplains of the United States Army, and a benediction by Capt. John B. Frazler of the United States Navy. MAJ. BURDETT RELIEVED. Maj. Allen M.
