London, Jan. .—The Daily Tele- graph, in its comments on President Wilson's speech, deprecates the slight- ing tone adopted by some of the English newspapers. The Telegraph says; Apart from certain passages which arouse a very natural feeling of im- patience among us, President Wilson lays down nothing which has not been virtually conceded by the Allies in the statement to him of their war aims. On the other hand, he lays down nothing which our enemies can concede without a total abandon- ment of the policy and temper which is responsible for the war and without consenting to such a reorganization of Kurope as we propose and they furiously denounce, President Wilson lays down a policy : for his country.

Points Out Weaknesses. Geneva, via Paris, Jan. 24, a. m.—Georges Wagniere, the Journal De Geneve, commenting on President Wilson’s speech says: “First of all, says President Wilson, the war must be ended.

Peace must be an organ- ized peace, but how is this to be at- nined? ‘By peace without victory’, answers President Wilson and these imprudent and unfortunate words im- peril the success of his initiative. . “Peace without victory is peace Belgium's inde- pendence will be restored, but who will indemnify the unhappy country for all the evil done it? Who began the war? Who is the aggressor? Will it be enough to merely pass the sponge over the slate? How long would such a peace last?

Petrograd, via London, Jan. 24, 6:25 a. m.—President Wilson’s speech to the senate was received with the | warmest approval and sympathy in governmental circles. The same cordial spirit was shown by the press and public leaders, with few dissent- ing voices. Only two points in the iclsm—his reference to ‘‘peace with- cism—his reference to “peace with- out victory” and ‘freedom of the | seas.” . | The Bourse Gazette, after calling ! attention to the unprecedent charac- ter of President Wilson's appeal, ex- presses the view that the chief sig- mificance of his declaration 1in its manifest purpose of further develop- ing his influence toward peace. The Vechernee Vremja finds an in- consistency in President Wilson's re- | marks about the freedom of the large and small nations and these above preserving the integrity of existing empires. The paper says: “What does he think about Prus- sianism and Poland, what about the southern Slavs under the yoke of Austria-Hungary ?—what about the Armenian nation murdered by the Turks?—what about Alsace-Lorraine? Is it possible these nations remain under 'the yoke of Prussia, Austria and Turkey GASHED AT HIS WEDDING.
