It is contained in the address of the president, delivered at Mt. Vernon on the 4th of July, last. It is as follows: “*“The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice, dis- turb the peace of the world; or if it can not be presently destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotency. “*“The power which has hitherto controlled the German nation is of the sort here described. It is within the choice) of the German nation to alter it.” | “The president's words just quoted naturally constitute a condition precedent to peace, if peace is to come by the ac- tion of the German people themselves. “*The president feels bound to say that the whole pro- cess of peace will, in his judgment, depend upon the def- initeness and the satisfactory character of the guarantees which can be given in this fundamental matter. It is in- dispensable that the governments associated against Ger- many should know beyond peradventure with whom they are dealing. “*The president will make a separate reply to the royal and imperial government of Austria-Hungary.’” FRENCH DEMAND "3s DAMAGED AREA na, November 5. } allure MOStIPES DDS applies to all those who t on the books, owing to to register before or to ( vote at the spring election, when { Mayor Hanson wag elected.
