the Present War Made Known by the Chief Magistrate In a Personal Ad- dress to the on the Message Washington Jan tho United States shall enter a World Peace league and as many contend thereby abandon its traditional policy of isolation and no entangling ances was laid squarely before con gress and the country by President Wilson in a personal address to the senate For the first time in more than 100 years a president of the United States appeared in the senate ber to discuss the nation's foreign re- lations after the manner of ton Adams and Madison The effect was to leave congress all official quarters and the amazed and bewildered ly there arose a sharp division of opinion over the propriety as well as the substance of the president's posal the noblest utterance that has fallen from human lips since the Dec- of were among the expressions of senators The president himself after his ad- dress I nave what body has been longing for but has thought impossible Now it appears to be possible The chief points of the president's address That a lasting in Europe can not be a peace of vie tory for either side that peace mus be followed by a definite concert o power to assure tne world that no catastrophe of war shall overwhelm It that in such a concert of power the United States can not withhold Its participation to tee peace and Justice throughout the j world and that before a peace Is made the United States government should frankly formulate the tions upon which it would feel fied In asking the American people for their formal and solemn ence No Breach In It is clear to every man whi the president told the senate there is in this promise no breach in either our traditions or our policy aa a nation but a fulfillment rather of all that we have or striven for I am proposing that all nations henceforth avoid j alliances which would draw them into competition of power catch j them in a net of intrigue and selfish rivalry and disturb their own affairs influence Intruded from without There Is no entangling alliance in a concert of power t Back of the fundamental proposal for some sort of international tion for preservation of the future peace of the world now already in principle by both sets of belligerents in their replies to dent Wilson's peace note lies the which the president openly expressed that thereby may be the groundwork upon which an proach may be made to an end of the present conflict While the United States world have ao voice in what those terms might be the president said it have a in determining whether they should be made lasting by guarantees of universal covenant No Action at This Time Prom his utterance all the dent's hearers drew the common con- that he was holding but to the old world a warning that if it would command the potent Influence of the new for the future peace of all the settlement of the war must involve concession and sacrifice equally of rights freedom of the seas and in j his own words inviolable security of life of worship and of Industrial j and social development of peoples who have lived hitherto tns power of governments devoted to a faith and purpose hostile to their own I Some of senators disagree with the president openly referred to this portion of his address as an at- j tempt to parcel out Europe and an Interference in thp affairs of the ern hemisphere i Members of congress generally do not regard the president's proposal as calling for any action at this time and even senators who did not with the suggestions advanced for world peace did not question the right to suggest them nor to enter upon negotiations tending to commit the United States to such a Kills Self In Theate New York neatly dressed man believed to be a Chicago policeman walked Into the drome as
