The German people must by this time be fully aware that we cannot accept the word of those who forced this war upon us. We do not think the same thoughts or speak the sanie language of agreement. “It is of capital importance that we should also be explicitly agreed that 1o peace shall be obtained by any kind of compromise or abatement of the principles we have avowed as the principles for which we are fighting. There should exist no ‘doubt about that. 1 am, therefore, going to take the liberty of speaking with the ut- mos® frankness about. the practical implications that are involved in it. “If it be in deed and in truth the common object of the governments as- sociated against Germany and of the nations whom they govern, as I believe it to be to achieve by the coming settlements a secure and lasting peace, it will be necessary that all who sit down at the peace table shall come ready and willing to pay the price, the only price that will procure it; and ready and willing, also, to create in some virile fashion the only instru- mentality’ by which it can be made certain that the agreements of the peace will be honored and fulfilled. “That price is impartial justice in every item of the settlement, no mat- present to you-some thoug:its v 1 trust will serve to give you, in per- baps fuller measure than uvfore, a v.vid sense of the great issues in volved, in order that you may appre- ciate and accept with added en!husi- asm, the grave significance of the duty cf supporting the governmen: by :our men and your means to the uimos roiat of sacrifice and self-deniul.

For Germany will have to re- deem her character, not by what hap- péns at the peace table, but by what follows. “And, as I see it, the constitution of that League of Nations and the clear definition of its objects must be a part, in a sense the most essential part, of the peace settlement itself. It can- not be formed now. If formed now, it would be merely a new alliance con- fined to the nations associated against a common enemy. It is not likely that it could be formed after the settlement. It is necessary to guarantee the peace; and the peace cannot be guar- anteed as an afterthought.

Officials estimate that it will require 26 hours to complete the work. Because of the classification sys- tem, this drawing—the third since the nation went to war—will not have the significance that attached to the first lottery last year, when order num- bers were assigned 9,000,000 men. Un- son, to speak in plain terms again,|less the war department changes its why it must be guaranteed is that|plan of calling registrants and in- there will be parties to the peace whose promises have proved untrust- worthy, and means- must be found in connection with the peace settlement itself to remove that source of inse- curity. It would be folly to leave the guarantee to the subsequent voluntary action of the governments we have seen destroy Russia and deceive Ru- mania. “But these general terms do not disclose the whole matter. Some de- tails are needed to make them sound less like a thesis and more like a practical program. These, then, are some of the particulars, and I state them with the greater confidence be- cause I can state them authoritative- ly as representing this government's interpretation of its own duty with regard to peace: “First, the impartial justice meted out must involve no discrimination be- tween those to whom we wish to be just and those to whom we do not wish to be just. It must be a justice that plays no favorites and knows no standard but the equal rights of the several peoples concerned. econd, no special or separate in- terests of any single nation or any group of nations can be made the basis of any part of the settlement which is not consistent with the com- mon interest of all. “Third, there can be no leagues or alliances or special covenants and un- deretandings within the comman and general family of the League of Na- tions, vades the deferred classifications, the numbers to be drawn will affect only those men of the new draft ages who are physically fit for military service and are not given deferment because of dependents or occupation. This number has been estimated at 2,600,000, but all of these will not be affected immediately, since the depart- ment has determined to call first men between 19 and 37. Men between 37 and 45 will next be called, but there has been no indication When that will be.

Boston, Sept. 27.—Word that scores of physicians and nurses were being rushed to Massachusetts from various sections of the country in amswer to the state’s call for aid in fighting the epidemic of influenza and the weather bureau’s promise of continued sun- shine, -admittediy the best preventive of the disease, greatly encouraged lo- cal and state health officials today. The first of the outside contingents was expected here tonight from Rhode Island, and others were due tOmOrrow from Toronto. Meanwhile the United States public service in Washington was busily engaged in mobilizing phy- sicians and nurses from the middle west and_elsewhere, and sent word that the first units should reach here within 48 hours. In all, the Washing- ton officials hoped to respond to the commonwealth’'s appeal with 100 phy- sicians and twice that number of nurses. The emergency public health com- mittee, leading the fight against the epidemic, ook drastic steps today. Proprietors c¢f soda fountains throughout the state were asked to stop the sale of soft drinks immedi- ately because of the danger of infec- tion from glasses; the management of the Brockton fair, one of the big out- door carnivals of the fall season in this state, was requested to postpone the fair planned for next week. and at once complied by cancelling the affair entirely; a suggestion that the Red Cross horse show at Readville be closed to the public was agreed to, If You “Fourth, and more specificaliy, there lars. can be mo special, selfish cconomic | o o it combinations within the lcazue, and | fellow—show him no employment of any form of eco- nomic boycott or exclusion except as the power of economic panalty by cx clusion from the markets of the world .may be vested in the League of Na tions itself as a means of discipline and_control. “Fifth, all international agreements and treaties of every kind must be made known in their entirety to the Test of the world, “Special _alliances and - economic rivairies and hostilities have been the prolific source in the modern world of the plans and passions that produce war. It would be an insincere as well as an insecure peace that did not ex- clude them in definite and binding terms. “The confidence with which I ven- ture to speak for our people in these matters does not spring from our tra- ditions merely, and the well known principles of international action which we have always profess- ed and followed. In the same sentence in which I say that the Unmited States will. enter into no special arrange- ments or understandings with particu- the lar nations let me say also that United States is prepared to a its fuil share of responsibility for maintenance of the common covenani and understandings upon which peace must henceforth rest. We still read Washington's _ immortal warning against ‘entanzling alliances’ with full comprehension and an answering pu pése. But only special and limited alliances entangle; and we recognize and accept the duty of a mew day in which we are permitted to hope for a general alliance which will avoid en- tanglements and clear the air of the world for common understandings and the maintenance of common rights. “I_have made this analysis of the internal situation wRich the war has created, not, of course. because i doubted whether the leaders of the great nations and peoples with whom ‘we are associated were of the same mind and entertained a like purpose, but because the air every now and again igets darkened by mists and groundless doubtings and mischievous perversions of counsel and it is neces- sary once and again to sweep all the irresponsible talk about peace in- trisues and weakening morale and doubtful purpose on the part of those in authority utterly, and if need be unceremoniously, aside and say things in the plainest words that can be found, even when it is only to say over again what has been said before, quite as plainly if in less unvarnished terms. “As I have said, neither I nor any other man -in governmental autho ty created or gave form to the issues of this war. T have simply responded to them with such vision as I could command. But I have responded glad- ly and with a resolution that has grown warmer and more confident as the issues have grown ciearer and clearer. It is now plain that they are issues which no man can pervert un- less it be wilfully. I am bound to fight for them, and happy to fight for* them as time and circumstances have re- vealed them to me as to all the world. Our enthusiasm for them grows mora and more irresistible as they stand out in more and more vivid and un- mistakable outlines. “And the forces that fight for them draw into closer and closer dirray, or- ganize their millions info more and more unconquerable might, 'as they become more and more the thought and purpose of the peoples engaged It is the peculiarity of this great war that while statesmen have scemed to cast’ their ground and their point of view, the thought of the mass of men, whom statesmen are supposed to in- struct and lead, has grown more and more unclouded, more and more cer- tain of what it is that they are fight- ing_for. National purposes have fallen more and more into the background and the common purpose of enlighten- ed mankind has taken their place. The counsels of plain men have be- come on all hands more simple and straightforward and more unified than the counsels of sophisticated men of affairs who still retain the impres- sion. that they are playing 2 game of power and playing for high stake That.is why T have said that this i n peoples’ war mot a - statesmens’ Statesmen must follow the clarified conirnn thought or te broken, “I take thai to_be the sizmificance of the fact that assemblies und asso. i buying today.

This plan will relieve a congestion of tele- zraph wires which would make it im- possible to transmit any of the world news while the drawing is in prosress. Details of ‘the drawing have not y been completed, but General Crowder announced that he had invited Acting Secretary Crowell, General March, chief of staff, and members of the senate and house military committees to attend the opening. Decision has not yvet been made as to who will draw the first capsule. So that there | will be no interruption of the drawing, clerks will work in relays during the 6 hours.

Men between those ages also will be assigned to the navy and marine corps, the quota for the navy being 15,000 monthly and that for the marine corps 1,500 month- Iy. ciations of many kinds made up of plain_ workaday people have demand- ed almost every time they came to- gether, and are still demanding, that the leaders of their governments de- clare to them plainly what it is ex- actly what it is, that they were seek- ing in this war, and what they think the items of the - final settlement should be. They are not yet satisfied with wwhat they have been teld. They still seem to fear that they are get- ting what they ask for only in states- men’s terms — only in the terms of territorial arrengements and divi- sions of power, and not in terms of broad-visioned justice and merry and peace and the satisfaction of those deep seated longings of oppressed and distracted men and women and en- siaved peoples that seem to them the only things worth fighting a war for that engulfs the world. Perhaps states- men have not always recognized this chapged aspect of the whole world of policy and action. Perhaps they have not always spoken in direct reply to the questions asked hecause they did not know how searching those ques- tions were and what sort of answers they demanded, “But 1, for one, am glad to attempt the answer again and again in the hope that may make it clearer and clearer that my one thought is to satisfy those who struggled in the ranks and are perhaps above all oth- ers, entitled to-a.reply whose mean- ing no one can have any excuse for misunderstanding, if he understands the language in which it is spoken or can get some one to translate it cor- rectly into his own. And T believe that the leaders of tie goverrments with which we are associated will speak, as they' have occasion, as plainly as T have tried to speak. 1 hope that they will feel free to say whether = they think that T am in any degree mis- ken in my interpretation of the i sues involved or in my purnose with rezard to the means by which a satis- factory settlement of those issues may he obtained.

From Quiney.

Reports from other New England states indicated the presence of influ- enza to some exient. At Concord, N.

It wishes the final triumph of justice and fair dealing.” Tive thousand persons who filled the Metropolitan Opera House to ca- pacity heard the president speak. Five mintites hefore his arrival a.gyard of soldiers. sailors .and marines seated at the rear of the platform were sud- denly ordered to attention. They arose with a smart click of rifles, the national colors were advanced, and the great audience - became. silent. This dramatic quiet was maintained with- out interruption until the president without cther warning of his coming, walked on the stage, escorted by Ben- jamin Strong,egovernor of the federal reserve banks of New York. Then a tremendous burst of cheering broke loose, to which the president after taking his seat, three times arose to acknowledge. ~Then a sailor band played “America,” the president join- ing with the audience in singing it. Mr. Strong read to the audience a summary of late reports showing American troops’ advances daring the day in France. There was a burst of cheering. “Our boys in France do not learn readily when to stop fighting” he added. “That is the spirit in which we must raise the Liberty loan.” Cheers greeted the mews of the American successes, particularly when My, Strong said that the Yankee troops in their new drive had reclaim- ed 100 miles of territory for France. “Three cheers for Pershing!” cried a shrill voiced woman. They were given with deafening snouts. John McCormack, the opera singer, added to the fast-increasing enthu- siasm _of the audience of singing “The Star Spangled Banner” and a number of war songs. Patriotic _fervor seemed to reach its climax when the president arose to hegin his address. the audience rising and again cheering for several® min- utes. Mr. Wilson read from printed text. / !

Political charges and counter- ges, criticism from all quarters of the conduct of the militant suffra- gists including charges that one, Miss Hazel Hunkins, of Billings, Mont, an employe f the War Labor Board, had cursed the American flag during a re- cent suffrage demonstration in front of the White House, and denunciation of the management .of the house res- olution, featured the debate today. Admittedly, one vote short of the number necessary for victory mana- gers of the resolution went *into the senate today planning to prevent a vote until the arrival late tomorrow of Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, whose vote is counted in the total of 63. Senator Reed of Missouri, democrat, cpposing the resolution, said the ate by taking “commands” from ticoat lobbyists” had placed itself in a “contemptible position” and de- nounced the situation as a “shame and cisgrace,” In the course of his speech Senator Reed made the charge against Miss Hunkin. He produced afidavits from policemen and a police matron who were present when Miss Hunkins and other women's party demonstra- tcrs were arrested, alleging that Miss Hunkins had said: “— that old American flag, it is the cause of all this trouble, and the American flag, it is always get- ting some one into trouble.” A telegram from Miss Hunkins de- rying the charges and promising libel proceedings upon their publication al- so was read by the Missouri senator.
