Two statements issued to the press by our Secretary of State, upon the day the ,. . , . note was dispatched, threw a; clear light on the seriousness with which our Government viewed the Tisis. From this point, events moved rap- idly. The powers of the Entente re- died to the German peace note.- Neu- tral nations took action on the note of the President, and from both bel- liferents replies to this note were soon in our hands. The German reply was evasive in accord with their traditional prefer- once for . diplomacy behind . closed doors. ' Refusing to state to the world their terms. Germany and her allies merely proposed a conference. They adiourned all discussion of any plan for a leaeue Until after hostilities should end. file response of the Entente Pow- ers was frank and in harmony with our principal purpose., Many ques- tions raised, in the. statement of their aims were so purely European, in character as to have small interest us. Dut our great concern in Eu- 0f hostilities the German Gov- ernment had cmimed that it was fighting a war of defense. 'Jut tne tone of its recent proposals had been that of a conqueror. It sought a peace based on victory. The central empjres aspired to extend their aom- . n(.in OTOP other ,.aees. They were LHng to make liberal terms to any one of thcrr enemies, in a separate among me nations u. gi cui. jcjiuuui peace which would free their hands to ating armaments are henceforth to crush other opponents. But they continue here and there to be built were not willing to accept any peace up and maintained." which did not, ajl fronts considered, "Mere agreements may not make leave them victors and the dominat- peace secure. It will be absolutely ing imperial power of Europe. The necessary that a force be created aa war aims of the Entente showed a de- a guarantor of the permanency of the termination to thwart this ambition settlement so much greater than the of' the Imperial German Government, Against the German Peace to further German o-rowth and aeeression the Entente Powers offered a plan tor a European Peace that should make the whole continent secure. At this iuncture the President Toad his address to the Senate, on Janu- vru 9.!1917 in which he outlined the kind of peace the United States of America could join in guaranteeing. His words were addressed not only to the Senate and this Nation but to people of all countries. "May I not add that il nope ana De- lieve that I am in effect speaking for liberals and friends of humanity in every nation and of every program of liberty? I would fain believe that I am speaking for ,t'nc silent mass of mankind everywhere who have as yet had no place or opportunity to speak their real hearts out concerning tne death and ruin they see to have come already upon the persons and the homes they hold most dear." Thn address was a rebuke to those vchn still rherished dreams of a world dominated bv one nation. For the! no., ho nut-lined was not that of a vtvrinns omneror. it was not the peace of Caesar. It was in behalf of all the world, and it was a reace the Pconle.

For while exception was takon to some pavU of lit in Britain and France, it was plain that so far as the peoples of tha hn- tente were concerned the I'resiocnt had been amply justified in stilting that he spoke for all forward inoK incr. liberal-minded men and women. It was not so in Germany. The peo nle there who could be reached, nnd whose hearts were stirred by tliis enunciation of the principles of itoeonle's peace, were too few or too . oppressed to make their voicc3 heard ! in the councils of thpir nalion.
