Points, Sajs Ex-President.
STW TORK. Dee. S. Aa?ert!nr that
the Lnited States had not done nearly
as much a the British navy and the
British. French and Italian armies, to
brln- about the downfe'l of Germany,
Theodore RooseTelt declared in a state
ment here tonight that it is "our ousl
ness to stand by our allies at the peace
conference."
He declare . It "sheer nonsense" to
say the American Army was fighting
for President Wilson's famous 14
points. "
lie made the assertion that "there
was not one American soldier in every
thousand who ever heard of them.
Great itt la Keeded.
"The British Empire imperatively
needs the greatest navy in the world
and this we should instantly concede,"
said the Colon. i. "Our need for a great
Navy comes next to hers and we should
have the second Navy in the world.
Similarly France needs) greater mili
tary strenrth than we do. but we
should all have our young; men trained
to arms on the general lines of the
Swiss system.
"The freedom of the seas" is a phrase
that may mean anything; to nothing.
If It Is to be interpreted as Germany
Interprets it. It Is thoroughly mischiev
ous. There must be no Interpretation
of the phrase that would prevent the
English navy. In the event of any fu
ture war. from repeating; the tremen
dous service It haa rendered in this war
Wilson Blamed for Slleace.
"The British must, of course, keep
the colonies they have conquered.
"As for this nation. It must keep Its
absolute economic Independence and
raise or lower its economic barriers aa
its interests demand, for we have to
look after the welfare of our own
working man. We must Insist on th
preservation of the Monroe doctrine.
We must keep the right to close th
Panama Canal to our enemies in war
time, and we must not undertake
Interfere in European, Asiatic or
African matters with which we ought
to have properly no concern."
Declaring that "President Wilson has
not given the slightest explanation
what his views are or why he Is a-o
ing abroad." the Colonel asserted. "He
is himself responsible for any division
among the American people as regards
the peace conference at this time.
Peaec Prt(nm WKaheld.
"lie has never permitted the Amerl
can people to ' pass on his peace pro
posals, nor has he ever made those
proposals clear and stra.ghtforward.
As for the 14 points, so far as the
American people have expressed any
opinion upon them, it was on Nov.
i when they rejected them." he con
tinued, adding that "tte American'
Army was fighting; to smash Ger
many" and "the American people
wanted Germany smashed."
"The -allies have never accepted -the
14 principles." he continued, "the
l nited States has never accepted them
Germany and Austria enthusiastically
accepted them.
"Here and there individuals. Includ
ing President Wilson, Mr. Hearst. Mr.
Vlereck and. as I understand It, a. num
ber of pro-Germans and pacifists and
international Socialists have accepted
them, but neither the American people
nor the American Congress haa ac
cepted them."
Principle Declared Tagne.
The Colonel declared that "Mr. Wil
son himself has rejected at least one
of the 14 outright and has Interpreted
another in the directly opposite sense
to Its plain and obvious meaning," and
added that "some of the 14 points are
thoroughly mischievous, under any In
terpretatlon." and most of the others
axe vague and ambiguous.
"Inasmuch as Mr. Wilson Is going
over, it Is earnestly to be hoped that
it Is his business not to try and be an
umpire between our allies and our ene
mles, but act loyally aa one of the al
lies." said the Colonel.
"We have not suffered anything like
as much and we have not rendered as
much service as the leading allies. It
Is the British navy and the French,
British and Italian armies that have
done the most to bring about the down
fall of Germany, and therefore the
ralety of the United States. It is our
business to stand by our allies."
working out of the terms of the
armistice.
German business men, especially in
Treves, have already begun to display
more Interest in the Americans, who
as is customary with them, are be
ginning to spend their money. The
prices of both foodstuffs and other
articles are enormously high, but the
soldiers 'desire souvenirs, and they
were quite ready to patronize shops.
It Is understood that the American
military government proposed to deal
sternly with any offenders against the
regulations the Army may establish,
but the Germans appear to accept with
out question whatever orders are Im
posed.
A proclamation Issued by General
Pershing has evoked a few expressions
of appreciation from the Germans, and
there is a notable tendency on the part
of the people of Treves. Sarrebourg
and other of the -larger communities
to act on his suggestion to resume their
normal occupations.

determination of the Germans not to
be Jarred out of their assumed role of
indifference was shown In every vil

the troops and went on with their

there a display of emotion or even of
keen interest. With the exception of
trifling acts by children there have
been no signs of hostility reported. In
a few instances children shouted de

LONDON. Dec S. (By the Associated
Press.) It is understood represents
tlves of the allies in conference at the
Foreign Ministry today were unan
imously in favor of demanding that
Holland hand over to the allies the
former German Emperor and former
Crown Prince.
No official report was issued beyond
a. mere recital of the names of those
attending and a statement to the ef
fect that Colonel E. M. House, of the
American peace delegation, was pre
vented by illness from attending.
The British War Cabinet and the
French and Italian representatives in
London are in agreement as to
the proposed punishment of William
Hohenzollern. the former German
Emperor, but have decided to take
noa action until President Wilson ar
rives in Europe, the, Evening News says
it learns.
The allies are not willing- to allow a
technicality to prevent bringing Will
lam Hohenzollern to trlaL If Holland
refuses his extradition without the
consent of Germany, the newspaper
adds, pressure will be brought to se
cure consent.
"The German government Is still un
decided as to how -to deal with the
former Emperor and Hoheniollems."
said Hugo Haase. Secretary of Foreign
Affairs in the German Cabinet to a
correspondent of the Express on Sun
day. "I think," he continued, "they
may be sufficiently punished by the
international odium they have in
curred."
Discussing the war. Haase said:
"The guilt of starting the struggle
lies with both German and Austrian
militarism. The Government is now
Investigating the pre-war methods of
the Foreign Office, particularly re
garding the handling of secret funds.
The result will be published as soon as
the investigation is completed."
XatloM In Agreement. .
A demand for the surrender of Will-
tarn Hohenzollern will be submitted to
The Netherlands government in the
name of all the allied cabinets, accord
ing to the Express. The " views of
France and Italy have been fully com
municated to the British government,
and President Wilson has made sug
gestions relative to procedure in the
case.
The opinion is held that Holland will
not be disposed to put obstacles in the
way. She will not be asked to deliver
Herr Hohenzollern under the ordinary
extradition laws, but his status will
be considered analogous to that of a
pirate or slave trader who is not re
garded as entitled to sanctuary in any
country.

THE WINDS OF CHANGE
- -By
Rex Beach
You have seen him smiling at you in
the movies. You have loved him and
wanted to know more about him.
Here is your, chance, for Rex Beach
has written his biggest novel of Alas
ka, full of humor and clean fighting,
with 'Poleon as the real hero, though
he wasn't meant to be.
Pierce Phillips is the other hero, for
he is the kind of man women love.
First there is the "CGuntess" then
Letty, the gambler's daughter the
little dancehall girl who is every
body's plaything and then the Snow
bird. ,
And never before has '. Rex Beach
written a story so full of humor. The
picture of the two quarrelsome old
miners who can't work together and
who can't work apart is one of the
most delightful bits of character
drawing in modern fiction.
The spell of the frozen North is here,
and Rex Beach has painted his char-

acters against its magic background.
In full measure is shown the lure of
gold and the love of life the power
to win. It is human, vivid.
