"While the conflict was gradually extending over the entire surface of the ear j.h. the clanking of chains was heard here and there and cap tive nationalities, from the depths of their age-long jails, cried out to us tor bein-yes. more, they escaped i.o oojho to OD aid Poland H?ytve.s "Poland eatne to liV?- again and f'mt its troops Tho C'^cno-S.lovakfl won their right to indopuuuouot) in -Siberia, in France and in Italy.

"The war gradually attained the fullness of Its first significance and became in tho full sense of the term a crusade of humanity for right, and if anything can console us, in part at least, for the losses wo have Buffered, it is assuredly the thought that our victory also is tho victory of right. This victory is complete, for tho enemy only asked for the armistice to escape an irretrievable military disaster. Rests With Conference. "In the interest of Justice and peace, it now rests with you to reap from this victory Its full fruits. In order to carry out this immense task you have decided to admit at 'first only the Allied, or associated powers and insofar as their interests ..re Involved in the debates, the cations which remained neutral. You have thought that the terms of peace ought to he settled among ourselves before they are communicated to those against whom we have fought the good fight. "Tho solida ri i y which has united us during the war and has enabled us to win military success ought to remain unimpaired during tho aegotiations for and after the sign ing of the treaty. "It is not only the governments, hut free peoples, who are represent ed hero. To the test, of danger they have learned to know and help ono toother. They want their unity of yesterday to assure the peace; of to morrow. Vainly would our enemies *eek to divide us.

Even before the armistice you reached that necessary unity under tho aid of the lofty moral and polictical truths of which President Wilson bas nobly made himself the interpretor, and in the light of these truths you intend to accomplish your mission. "You will, therefore, seek nothing but justice- justice that has no favorites, justice in territorial prob lems, justice in financial problems, justice in economic problems. Hut justice is not Inert; it does not sub mit to injustice. What it demands :'rst, when lt hus been violated, uro restitution and reparation for tho peoples and individual who have been despoiled or maltreated. In formulating this lawful claim it obeys neither hatred nor an instinc tive or thoughtless desire for re prisals. lt pursues a two-fold object -to render to each his due and not to encourage crime through leaving' it unpunished. "What justice also demands, in spired hy the same feeling, is the punishment of the guilty and ef fective guarantees against an active return of the spirit, hy which they are prompted, and it is logically to demand that these guarantees should hf given, above all, to the nations (hat liftyo been and might again be moni, c.xposud lb aggression ot threat, lo those who have many tintos Stood In danger of hoing KU h m or god )> tue periodic tide rn the sanie ii. va sion.

"What justice banishes is the dream of conquest and imperialism, contempt for national will, the ar bitrary exchange of provinces be tween States, as though peoples were but articles of furiture or pawns in a game. The time is no more when diplomatists can meet to redraw with authority tho map of tho empires on the corner of a table. If you are to remake the world it is in the name of the peoples, and one condition is that you shall faithfully interpret their thoughts and respect the rights of nations, small and great, to dis pose of themselves and to reconcile with this the equally sacred right of ethical and religious minorities -a formidable task, which science and history, your two advisers, will contribute to assist and facilitate. "You will naturally strive to se cure tho material and moral means of subsistence for all those people who aro constituted or reconstituted into States, for those who wish to unite themselves to their neighbors, for those who divide themselves into separate units, for those who reor ganize themselves occordlng to their regained traditions, and lastly, for all those who see freedom you have already sanctioned or are about to sanction.
