'By the Associated Preas.)
A FRENCH SEAPORT, Jan. 7. The
exploitation . of American aoldisrs by
French hotel keepers and merchant to
which attention was first called by
the French press, has -Just culminated
here In a vigorous measure which, so
far aa thia important disembarking
point la concerned at least, has made
a great Impress. .
Tbe landlord of one of the principal
hotels, finding hia room! all taken
by American officers, appeared lo con
sider that the law of supply and de'
mand Justified In his case, a consider
able Increase In profits. The price of
rocms doubled; meals and drinks went
up in proportion.
Rear Admiral Wilsons attention hav
ing been drawn to the situation, he
waited on the -mayor who regretted
the fact but found himself unable to
interfere with the freedom of com
merce. Admiral Wilson ordered the
officera living there to move, placed
sentrlea in front of the building with
orders to keep every American soldier
away from the place. The argument
was ' decisive. The landlord begged
that the interdiction be removed, but
thus far Admiral Wilson Is obdurate

6T. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 11. (Special.)
t'ro-uerman utterancea before America
entered the war have removed John T.
Adams, of Iowa, from the race for Na
tional chairman of the G. O. P. In a
dramatic manner Senator William M.
Caldur, of New York, arose before the
executive committee this afternoon and
read tbe documents that threw the
gathering into a stir.
One waa in the form of a copy of a
letter written from Germany by Mr.
Adams after tbe war started in Europe
and printed' in a newspaper. In this
the writer described the Kaiser as a
democratic soul and condoned, the in
vasion of Belgium.
Lnaltanla SInktaa; Recalled.
Another paper presented by Mr.
Calder dated back to the period soon
after the sinking of the Lusitanla. It
was a protest against the sailing of
Americana on ships sailing under th
colors of a belligerent and against the
furnishing of munitions to the allies.
This was a form of protest which the
pro-German propaganda worked up i
that period of the war. Among the
signatures was the name of Mr. Adams.
Another protest was against the en
try of America into the war dated afte
President Wilson had indicated that
was inevitable.
Adama Pretested Loyalty.
"Mr. Adams, who was present at the
meeting, admitted that he might have
written the letters and signed the pro
tests. He pointed out that it was be
fore America- got into the struggle. He
insisted that his Americanism was
Simon pure, that he was pro-United
States to the core r.nd that bis loyalty
is of several generations' standing.
"But," said Senator Calder, "The Re
publican party cannot afford to be un
der the slightest taint of pro-Ger
manism."
Tonight Adams ia as good as out of
the running and his name may not be
presented tomorrow.
Charges Made la Letters.
The pro-uerman angle came up
through anonymous letters from Du
buque charging that Mr. Adams had
been openly pro-German in his Views
before America accepted the state of
war forced on it by the Kaiser. An

WAY I'M POINTING.
Germans Send Out Patrols Dressed
in "White but Fail to Change
Color of Airplanes.
(By the Associated Press.)
FARIS. Jan. 8. Nature has a pecu
liar way of destroying the deceiving
effects of camouflage. The recent
heavy snows on ihe western front have
rendered valueless Immense quantities
of camouflage material with the result
that artists and workmen have had
to work overtime In order to adapt
thlr work to changed conditions.
The Germans were quick to take
advantage of the snow-covered ground
and began sending out patrols dressed
entirely In white. The French soon
penetrated through this disguise and
a number of German "show men" were
taken prisoner.
The dark brown and green colored
German airplanes seem to have been
overlooked, however. For some time
past allied airmen found it difficult
when flying at a height of several
thousand feet to distinguish these dark
colored planes as they stood on the
barren around In front of their han
gars. The snow, however, brought out
the dark colors in bold relief and the
French airmen have taken advantage
of the conditions.
ROOSEVELT NOT SO WELL
Official Bulletin Says Colonel Has
Had Slight Setback.
NEW TORK. Feb. 11. Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt was "ot so well today.'
according to the bulletin fssued by his
private secretary tonigkt after his phy
aiclans had spent half an hour with him
at Roosevelt Hospital. It was believed,
however, that he would pass a more
restful night. -
"Colonel Roosevelt's condition has not
materially' changed since yesterday,"
said the bulletin. "There was a slight
setback during the night, and today he
was not so well, but it is expected he
will be more restful tonight."
Earlier . in the day the physicians
announced that Colonel Roosevelt had
had "a rather restful night," but his
"condition was practically the same as
yesterday."

President, in Address, " Tells
Why Fight Must-Go On. ,
COUNT CZERNIN IS-FACTOR
Austria-Hungary's Spokesman Has
Clear Vision, but Hertling Is De
clared to Be Far Out of Line
With Reichstag's Views.
PRESIDENT GIVES VIEWS OF
PRIXCIPLES TO BE APPLIED
1.1 PEACE DISCISSION.
First Each part of the final
settlement must be based upon
essential justice, to bring: a per
manent peace. .
Second Peoples and provinces
are not to be bartered about like
chattels' to establish a balance
of power.
Third Territorial settlement
must be for the benenit of people
concerned and not merely ad
justment of rival states' claims.
Fourth Well-defined, national
aspirations must be accorded all
possible satisfactions
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. President
Wilson addressed Congress today to
clear the atmosphere of any contusion
resulting; from the recent speeches on
peace terms by the German Chancellor
and the Austro-Hungarian Foreign.
Minister, and to reiterate that until the
military masters of Germany are ready
to consider peace on principles of jus
tice the United States will continue the
right it is just beginning for the safety
of itself and mankind.
In the speech of Count von Hertling-.
the German Chancellor, the President
found no approach to tbe path of peace,
but rather a proposal to end the war on
German terms and to set up a league of
nations- to maintain the balance of
power so established. . -
Caernla Tone Friendly.
Count Czernln. the Austro-Hungarian
spokesman, employed a very friendly
tone, seemed to see the fundamental
elements of peace with clear eyes and
probably would have gone much far
ther if it had not been for Austria's
alliance and her dependence upon Ger
many.
Members of Congress accepted the
address not as a peace message, but as
notice to the central powers that the
United Statea cannot be turned aside
from the object for which it is fightinp.-
and a warning to Congress aud the
American people that the task of send
ing the Nation's fighting men to the
front roust not be interfered with by
equivocal and misleading utterances of
Teutonic statesmen.
All Party Leaders Approve.
The President was warmly received
and cheered as he' concluded, and lead--ers,
without respect to party, after
ward expressed hearty approval of hia
words.
-The address had been prepared after
conferences during the past few days
with Colonel E. M. House, who headed
the American mission to the great in
ter-allied conference. As usual, the Pres
ident announced his coming only long
enough in advance to permit of ar
rangements for a, joint session in the
House chamber.
Fundamental Baals Sought.
While in official and diplomatic quar
ters today there was a disposition to let
the President's address speak for Itself ""
without interpretation, there apparent
ly was ho division of opinion on the point
that his prime object was to bring tbe
'extra official negotiations,"- as some
observers ' have termed the speech-
making of the chief statesman of the
nations at war, back to the fundamen
tal issues, the settlement of each ques
tion on principles of justice; the ces
sation of the barter of provinces and
peoples, tbe settlement of territorial
questions for the benefit of the popu
lations concerned, and finally the rec
ognition of national aspirations as a
basis of permanent peace.
Hertling Far Oat ef Tone.
Another purpose served, it was point
ed out, was to remind the German
Reichstag of the great distance that
Count Von Hertling has traveled from
its resolutions of last July regarding
self-determination of . the rights of
email nations and peoples, no annexa
tions, contributions or punitive dam
ages.
Responsive echoes among tbe German
Socialists and Liberals may In the end
bring culmative pressure to bear upon
the war lords at present controlling
the fate of Germany.
Still another object of the address, it
was said, was to serve notice in ad-
ance that any peace treaties resultin?
rom the Brest-Litovsk conferences
ould not of necessity be regarded as
binding upon America or the entente
allies.
