ABOARD PRESIDENTS SPECIAL TRAIN. St Louis. Displaying a high confidence that hla fellow citi zens ia the great majority agree with blm In his desire to end war forever, and that they, will see to It that tbe peace treaty with Its league of nations Inclusion la ratified by the senate. President Wilson is making a success ful wsy across the country oa the long Journey bo has undertaken for the purpose of laying before tbe plain people a report of bla work In Paris and explaining to them Just whst the lesgue mesas. Thus fsr la bis travels, be has everywhere met with warm greetings. People Want Ne Mere War. He feels, and does not hesitate to say so when chatting with his travel ing companions, that the America people want no more of war and waat to become part of tbe league so that there may be ao more war. He stroek his keynote when he said in his first address. In Columbus, Ohio: This treaty was not Intended mere ly to end this single war. It Is meant as a notice to every goewrament who In the future will attempt this thing (what Germany attempted), that man kind will nniu to Inflict tho same punishment There as no national triumph to be recorded In this treaty, there Is no glory sought for any par ticular nation. The thought of the . statesmen collected around that table was of their people, of the sufferings they had gone through, of tho lessee they had incurred, of that groat throb bing heart which van so depressed, so forlorn, so aad tn every memory It had of the five tragical years that . have gone by. Lot us never forget those years, my fellow coon try men; let us never forget the purpose, high snd disinterested, with which America, lent its strength, not for Its own glory bnt for the defense of mankind. Treaty Intended te Prevent War. "As I aald, this treaty waa not in tended merely to end this war. It was Intended to prevent any similar war. I wonder If some of the oppon ents of the league of nations have . forgotten the promises wo made onr people before we went to that peace table. We had taken by processes of law the flower of our youth from every countryside, from every house hold, and we told those mothers and fathers and sisters and wives aad sweethearts that wo were taking those men to fight a war which would end business ot that sort, and It wo do not end it it we do not do the beat that human concert of action can do to end K. we are of all men the moat unfaithful the moet unfaithful to thosehouseholds bowed la grief and yet Ufted with the feeling that the lad laid down his lit for a great thing, and, among other things. In order that other lads might never have to do the same thing. "That is what tho league of nations Is for to end this war Justly and then not merely to serve notice oa govern ments which would contemplate the same things Germany contemplated that they will do ao at their peril, but also concerning the combination of power which will prove to them that Tung as soon aa the peace treaty was ratified and It waa only through the ratification of the treaty with rha League of Nations Inclusion, that China couid aver expect to get her former property back. And she surely would get It back, be declared, through the ratification of the League. There- States into long-term securities. Ap proximately 810,000,000.000 of war credits have been advanced to tbe allies on abort-term notes. Bmall children, similar to the eugeulca bureau maintained In Portland.

Italian Premier Geta Support Rome. A vote of confidence waa given Premier Nltti by the chamber of deputiea. The government received 208 votes to 140. Only Way te Prevent Recurrence. "The league of nations la tho only thing that can prevent the recurrence of this dreadful catastrophe and re deem our promises." A league ot natlona would have pre vented the late conflict tha president asserted, explaining: "I did not meet a single public man who did not admit these things: That Germany would not have gone. Into this war if ahe thought Oreat Britain waa going into it and that she most certainly would never have gone Into it bad she dreamed America waa go ing Into It And they all admit that a notice beforehand that the greatest powers of the world would combine to prevent this sort of thing would pre vent it absolutely." Redemption for Weak Nations. He pointed out other important feat ures ot the peace treaty, how It was the redemption of weak nations, giv ing them freedom - which otherwise they never could have won; how it saya. "Those people have a right to live their own lives under govern ments which they themselvee choose," . and how "That Is the American prin ciple and I was glad to tight tor It" That was the very heart of the treaty, he said. ... . .
