Opportunity for open discussion of President Wilson’s sensational peace address will come in the Senate through consideration of a resolution]b U t as having force very distinctly in by Senator Cummins, proposing that all of next week be set aside for full debate on the subject. Whatever may be done with the desolution eventually, before the day is over there probably will be many speeches voicing 'the favorable and unfavorable opinions of the presi dent’s course expressed in the cloak rooms and corridors of the capitol While administration spokesmen say there is no desire to prevent free discussion in the Senate, there will be determined opposition to any pro tracted talk that would interfere with progress of the legislation which every effort is being made to dispose of before the end of the present short session.' , So far as any further step in the movement for peace is concerned the president is understood to feel that there is nothing to bo done at this time. He has submitted the founda tions on which he considers any last ing peace must he based and the con ditions under which he believes the United States would Join in a world league to preserve peace In the fu ture and now' waits for the verdict. To set at rest one cause for vari ous rumors of other acts contemplat ed by the government, it was author itatively stated that Germany had not furnished or offered to furnish to the president a confidential state ment of her peace terms. It also was allowed to become known that the text of the president’s, address to the Senate was forwarded to Ameri can diplomatic representatives with out Instructions and unaccompanied by any communication that would re quire responses from foreign govorn- ments. In diplomatic quarters there was a tendency to believe that some of the belligerent nations would find a way to comment formally on the address. Even If this Is not done the opinions of the governments undoubtedly will reach Washington informally through diplomatic channels. Early press comment from Europe was viewed by the administration w’ith the utmost interest and that of the French papers, particularly, was in general more appreciative and sympathetic than had been expected. The French comment was construed as meaning that France fully under stood the president s motives even while dubious of the immediate prac ticability of his proposals. The Brit ish press comment was disappointing at first glance, as officials felt there had been an undue criticism of Presi dent Wilson himself Instead of a se rious study of his address. More deliberate consideration ap peared to have a distinctly mollifying effect upon some of the Entente dip lomats here. There was a more gen eral disposition among them to ac cord credit to the president for high altruistic intentions in spite of un dercurrent of criticism of the im- There is absolute refusal, how ever, to enter into any dijcucslon of the details of the address* on the ground that the big principles in volved should be left as clear as pos sible without confusion of side is sues. Its phra^s are understood to have been left rather purposely in definite in some sections In order to be as flexible to different shades of opinion and desire as was the En tente’s statement of terms in tho note to the president. free, independent and auton omous Poland,” for example, Is cal culated to give pause to both Ger many and Russia and to bo a recog nition of the right of nationality, w'hich both nations have upheld, that may cause each embarrassment though eventually leading to a solu tion.

Whether this .contemplates a criticism pf cer tain ciaims for territory,, ae |hat of Frapee for Alsace-Lorraine, of-Italy for the Trentino, Roumania for Transylvania, or Austria for parts of Serbia, Bulgaria for parts of Rou mania, and so forth is unknown but Is certain to be widely discussed. Mention of disarmament as “the most immediate and* Intensely prac tical question connected with the fu ture fortunes of nations find of man kind/’ caused surprise in some quar ters as President Wilson was not known to have had such decided views on that subject. It has been felt in Germany that such a plan Is Impracticable, as there is no common denominator by which armament can be reduced proportionately all over the world at the same time. The world federation contemplat ed by the president is explained as not being based primarily on force* worship” also Is an equivocal staLe^ withnut victory.

It was largely beenuso of the realiza tion of the great opposition to he en countered at home, it. is understood, that the president derided to throw’ the whole, mstter into public discus sion in the belief that a decision on it must be reached if .ymorTca is'to take its proper place in tho world.

The president speaks of “the common strength” op posed to the “Individual‘strength” of nations, and no less than thirteen times he mentions the word ’‘guar antee” or a cognate. This Implica tion of some kind of force behind Mb proposal, whether physical or eco nomic, is expected to bring * about deep opposition on the part of many pqgce organizations. President Wilson’s addr os was sent to American diplomats ' in the belligerent countries last Monday, two days before the United States received the note from Minister Bal four of the British foreign office, supplementing the Entente reply to his peace note, and on the same day the German Foreign Mlnister^Zira- tnermann declared it was impossible for the Central powers openly to lay down their terms. * Tho president’s address was dn tended as an open message to the world of ihe conditions under which he would urge tho United States to enter a worlu federation to guaran tee future peace. Not until word had been received "from the diplp mats abroad that the copy had been received 'did President Wilcon ar range to make the address to tho Senate. There is nothing in the address or in the instruettoira accompanying its presentation that will of itself.-noces- sitato an answer, according to the administration -view,- hut some re sponse nevertheless is expected from both groups of belligerents Confidential Information that the Entente reply to President Wilson had convinced Germany that another step by her would be unwise con vinced American officials that unless tho United States gave another open ing the whole peace movement would come to an end. The address to tho Senate was taken as a possible means of avoiding that result. Fear of a “leak” surrounded the rending of tho address abroad with such secreey as "has seldom been equaled in the state department. Only Fresident Wilson, Secretary Lansing and tho men who transmit ted it are known definitely to have been aware of it. Both French and British ambas sadors denied any knowledge pf Its existence even after it had been de livered. Naturally they refused in any way to discuss it. While Count von Bernstorff, the Germarv ambassador, declined to comment for publication upon the address, the German view generally was that the address will strike a re sponsive chord among the people of Germany. President Wilson and Secretary Lansing anticipate the present move will provoke Indignation In the for eign press, much as was the case with the president’s original note of December 18. They feel that In a statement of position as f .11 as the president’s both sides may foel they have been unjustly attacked ani as a result they look for a bitter out burst In tho more violent press. The greatest confidence is felt In Washington that the belligerent peo ples want peace and that -tho chief obstacles to an early peace Is the un certainty as to whether that peace will he permanent. Officials also expect antagonism in this country to an abandonment of the traditional policy of American isolation. It has been felt in "the highest quarters for some time that a wide campaign must he under taken hy the president If his program is to he carried through. Opposition in tho Entente conn- li'ics Jb_e~vpeeled centre on the proposition that this should In* a xvar reply to the president’s note and the supplementary statement emphasized so-called German militarism and lust for conquest was essential to any kind of world well-being.

LLOYIMiEORGE PLANS TO BRING TBE COLONIES HOME TO BE PART OF BRITAIN Premiers of the Warring Dominions * ore Called to London to Sit in the Executive Cabinet of the Whole Emplro—Blood of Oountleaa Ool- onlata to Cement l nity of Islands and Her Colonies. The following dispatch from Lon don was w Renter Tel- emum company agency in Ottawa, Canada: Premier David Lloyd-George gave an Important Interview Thursday on the subject of the forthcoming im perial war council to the London cor respondent of the Australian United Cable service ~ The prime minister said: , “I do not wish to interfere in tiny way with the affairs of a great self- governing dominion but we took the step of urgentlyiinviting the domin ions* premiers to load • In the war council despite the fact that it might cause much inconvenience locally be cause we desired their advice and as sistance In coming to decisions about the conduct of the war and the nego tiation of peace r “Australia knows that I am ho jingo. My record contains no jour- neyihgs into flamboyant imperialism, yet 1 regard this council as marking the beginning pf a new epoch in the history of the empire. The war has changed hs, heaven knows. It has taught us more than we yet under stand; It has opened a new age for us and w'e'want to gp into that age together with our fellows overseas just aa we have come through tho darkness together and shed our blood and treasure together. v “Tho empire war council will deal with all general questions affecting the war.’ The prime ministers Qf their representatives Will be tempor ary members of the war cabinet and we propose to arrange that all mat ters of first rate Importance should be Considered at a series of special meetings. Nothing affecting the do minions, the conduct of the"war or negotiations for peace will be exclud ed ffom its public, review’. “There will, of course, be domestic plre must settle for Itself—-the ques tions such as recruiting in the United Kingdom or home legislation. Such domestic matters will be oiir only reservation, but we' propose that everything else should be, so t6 speak, on the table. “Will the discussion Include such matter as the fate of the German col onies?” was asked. “That is one obvious question,” the premier replied^ “but there are many questions of equal moment. All the *dlfferent problems connected with naming peace, as was stated In the governments invit'.tion, will be threshed out. The war policy of the empire will be clearly defined, and of great importance Is what I may call the preparation fbr peace. That will Involve not only demobilization, but such after-the-war questions as the migration of our people to other parts of the empire; the settlement of soldiers on the land, commerce and Industry.” “You have not heeltated to depart from precedent?” “We certainly have not/’ answer ed the premier. “But in these days we cannot hesitate because we are breaking precedents. The ^ plre has thrown ittelf heart and soul Into the war and we would be”falling in our d titles If we did not take every possi ble step to see that its leaders get to gether from time to time. “You do not suppose that we think that the overseas nations can raise and place in the field armies contain ing an enormous proportion of their best manhood and not want to have a say, and a real say, in determining the use to fchich they are to be put? That.’seems to us an impossible and undemocratic proppsition. “That is why one of tho first acts of the neV governments was to ask the overseas premiers to conic over/ not to a formal iinjierial conference hut to sit in the executive cabinet of the empire. That is why we have ar ranged for a representative of India, which has rendered invaiuable ser vice to our common cause, to be pres ent* also.” , ~~ “This implies,” suggested the cor respondent, “that 'the conference should meet as soon as possible.” ■“Certainly,” replied Mr. Lloyd- Gearge. “The war Is not won yet and wo want to. concert our efforts so that we may exert our maximum Strength at the critical moment Fnr^ then, we are most anxious that dur ing the last amLittost-trying phase of tiie war the British empire may pre sent to the world an absolutely unit ed front. “Uplo the present the Brittsh gov ernment has shouldered responribrl- tty for the policy of *the war practi cally alone. Novr It wishes to knew' hat in its measures for prosecuting the war to a finish and in its nego- tiations for peace, it will be carrying out a policy agreed upon by repre^ sentatives of the whole empire.” “.Uhat about after change is certain. 1 “Then you are sanguine, about the future of the empire?” “If we see the war through, I cer tainly am. We stand at this moment on the verge of the greatest libera tion that the .world has ever seen since the French revolution; Do you tell me that peoples who have, stood together and staked liberally every thing In order to bring that libera tion about are not going to find some way of perpetuating that unity after ward in an equal basis? 1 am certain they will.* “There will be much for them to do. P6ace terms .will' be only a be ginning. After they are sufficiently arranged we shall have to set to work to build up that ordered 1 free dom and fraternity which is the only security fpr human peace and pro gress and which militarism has de stroyed ; and .|s it not certain that the nations which have borne the heat and burden of the day in overthrow ing that militarism will take a lead ing share in building that new earth which they have made possible their sacrifices? ♦ CLASSIFIED COLUMN AND | | FARMERS’ EXCHANGE ♦ Farms for Sale Cheap—In Moore ^County.
