In this Mr. Wilson was heartily supported by the entire nation, find his position was also thoroughly approved by the allies of the United States.

This was President \Vilson's answer given before an audience of fourth Liberty loan workers here, to the ie cent peace talk from the central pow ers, although lie did not refer specifi cally to the utterances of enemy ILead Peace was not a question, declared the President, of "coning to terms," for "we cannot 'come to terns with then," as ''they have lialeL it i1pos. sible." Peace must be guaranteed, for "there will be Parties to tir ePeace whose promises have Provedl untrust worthy and means must be found in connection with the peace settlenient to remove the source of inse(urity." "It would be folly to leave the guar antee to the subsequent voluntary ac tion of the governments we have seen destroy Russia and deceive Runania," contimued the President. Five thousand persons heard tile President speak. Just before his ar rival a guard of soldiers. sailors and narines seated at the rear of the platform were suddenly ordered to at tention.
