PRESIDENT ADDRESSES SENATE ON PEACE Wilson Desires End of War in Europe Without Victory to Either Side Would Extend Monroe Doctrine to All Nations Freedom of Seas Advocated. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Whether the United States shall enter a world peace league and, as many contend, thereby abandon Its traditional policy of Isola tion and no entangling alliances, was put squarely before Congress and the country today by President Wilson In a personal address to the Senate. The full text follows: Gentlemen of the 8tmte: On the 18th of December last I addressed an identic note to the government of the natloni now at war requesting them to state more deft nltely than had yet been stated by either group of belligerents the terms upon which thoy would deem it possible to make peace. I spoke on behalf of humanity and of the lights of all neutral nations like our own, many of whose mot vital Interests the war puts In constant jeopardy. The central powers united in a reply which stated merely that they were ready to meet their antagonists in conference to discuss terms of peace. The entente powers have replied much more definitely and have stated in general terms, Indeed, but with sufficient deflntte ness to Imply details, the arrangements, guarantees and acts of reparation which they deem to be Indispensable conditions of a satisfactory settlement We are that much nearer a definite dis cussion of the peace which shall end the present war. We are much nearer the dis cussion of the International concert which must thereafter hold the world at peace. In every discussion of the peace that muBt end this war It Is taken for granted that that peace must be given by some definite concert of power which will make it virtu ally Impossible that any such catastrophe should ever overwhelm us again. Every lover of mankind, every Bane end thought ful man, must take that for granted. I have sought this opportunity to address you because I thought that X owed It to you, as the council associated with me in the final determination of our international obligations, to disclose to you, without re serve, the thought and purpose that have been taking form In my mind In regard to the duty of our Government in these days to come, when it will be necessary to lay afresh and upon a new plan the foundations of peace among the nations. It is Inconceivable that the people of the United States should play n part In that great enterprise. To take part in such a service wlli be the opportunity for which they have sought to prepare themselves by the very principles and purposes of tholr polity and the approved practices of their Government ever Blnce the days when they set up a new Nation In the high and hon orable hope that It might In all that it was end did show mankind the way to lib erty. They cannot, In honor, withhold the service to which they are now about to be chillanged. They do not wish to with hold it. But they owe it to themselves and to the other nations of the world to stats the conditions under which they feel fr to render it That service is nothing less than this to add their authority and their power to the authority and force of other nations to guarantee peace and justice throughout the world. Such a settlement cannot now be long postponed. It Is night that before It co ues this Government should frankly formulate the conditions upon which It would feel justified In asking our people to approve its formal and solemn adherence to a league for peace. I am here to attempt to state those oondltlona The present war must first be ended; but wo owe it to candor and to a just regard for Ihe opinion of mankind to say that so far as our participation In guarantees of future peace is concerned It makes a great deal of difference In what way and upon what terms it is ended. The treaties and agreements which bring It to an end must embody terms which will create a peace that is worth guaranteeing and preserving, a peace that will win the approval of man kind; not merely a peace that will serve the reveral Interests and Immediate alma of the nations engaged. We shall have no voice in determining what those terms shall be, but we shall, 1 feel sure, have a voice In determining whether they shall be made lasting or not by the guarantees of a universal covenant and our judgment upon what is funda mental and essential as a condition prece dent to permanency should be spoken now, not afterwards, when it may be too late. No covenant of co-operative peace that does not Include the people of the new world can suffice to keep the future safe against war, and yet there is only one sort of peace that the peoples of America could join In guaranteeing. The elements of that peace muit ba the elements that etiftage the confidence and atltfy the principles of the American Gov ernment, elements consistent "with their political faith and the practical convictions which the peoples of America have once for ail embraced and undertaken to defend. I do not mean to say that any American government would throw any obstacle In the way of any terms of peace the governments now at war might agree upon or seek to upset them when made, whatever they might be. I only take It for granted that mere terms of pence between the belliger ents will not satisfy even ths belligerents themselves. Mere agreements may not make peace sure. It will lie absolutely necenury that a force be created as a guarantue of the permanency of the settlement so much greater than the force of any nation now engaged or any alliance hitherto formed or projected, that no nation, no probable combination of nations, could face or with stand It. if the peace presently to ba made Is to endure It muit be a peace made secure by the organised major force of mankind. The terms of the Immediate peace agreed upon will determine whether there Is a peace of which such guarantee can be se cured. The question upon which the whole future peace and policy of the world de pends Is thin Is the present war a struggle for a just and secure peace or only for a new balance of power? if it be only a struggle for a new balance of power, who will guarantee, who can guarantee, the stable equilibrium of the new arrangement 7 Only a tranquil tturope can be a stable Europe. There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organised rival rtes, but an organised common peace. fortunately, we have received very ex plicit assurances on this point. The states men of both of the groups of nations now arrayed against one another have said in terms that could not be misinterpreted that it was no part of the purpose they had In mind to crush their antagonists. But the implications of these assurances may not be equally clear to nil may not be the sain on both sides of the water, 1 think it will ba serviceable If I attempt to set forth what we untleritand them to be. They Imply first of all that It must be a peace without victory. It Is not pleasant to say this. I beg that I may bs permitted to put my own Interpretation upon It and that It may be understood that no other Interpretation was In my thought. I am seeking only to face realities and to face them without soft concealments. Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms Imposed upon the van quished. It would be made In humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrince and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals citn last; only a peace the very principle of which Is equality and a common participation In a common benefit. The right state of mind, the right feeling between nations, Is as neceissry for a laitlng peace as Is the just settlement of vexed questions of territory or of racial and national allegiance. Pershing' Sends Supplies Out. Juaret, Mex. A Mexican courier arrived here Monday night from Caaas Grandee with an official message say ing 161 motor trucks of the American expeditionary forces left Colonia Dub Ian Sunday for Columbus, N, M., load ed to the top with camp equipment, supplies, ordnance stores and excess baggage. After ten months and seven days In the field, General J. J. Per shing's outpost troops were moving toward field headquarters Monday, pre paratory to withdrawal ofthe punitive expedition from Mexico. The equality of nations upon which peace must be founded, If It is to last, must be an equality of rlRhts; the guarantees ex changed must neither recognize nor imply a difference between big nations and small, between those that are powerful and those that are weak. Right must be based upon the common strength, not upon the Indi vidual strength of the nations upon whose concert peace will depend. Equality of territory or of resources there, of course, cannot be; nor any other sort of equality not gained in the ordinary peaceful and legitimate development of the peoples themselves. But no one asks or expects anything more than an equality of rights. Mankind is looking now for freedom of life, or for equipoises of power. And there Is a deeper thing Involved than even equality of rights among organ ized nations. No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and ac cept the principle that governments de rive all their just powers from the consent of tho governed, and that no right any where exists to hand peoples about from sovereignty to sovereignty as If they were property. I take It for granted, for Instance, If I may venture upon a single example, that statesmen everywhere are agreed that there should be a united, Independent and auton omous Poland, and that henceforth In violable security of life, of worship and of industrial and social development should be guaranteed to all peoples who have lived hitherto under the power of governments devoted to faith and purpose hostile to their own. I upeak of this not because of any desire to exalt an abstract political principle which has always been held very dear by those who have sought to butid up liberty In America, but for the same reason that I have Bpoken of the other conditions of peace which seem to ine clearly Indispensable be cajee I wish frankly to uncover realities. Any peace which does not recognize and accept this principle will Inevitably be up set. It wll? not rest upon tne affections or the convictions of mankind. The ferment of spirit of whoM populations will fight subtly and constantly against it, and all the world will sympathize. The world can be at peace only if Its life Is stable, and there can be no stability where the will Is In rebellion, where there is not tran quillity of spirit and a sense of Justice and freedom and right Bo far as practicable, moreover, every great people now struggling towards a full development of Its resources and of its pow ers should be assured a direct outlet to the great highways of the seas. Where this cannot be done by the cession of territory, it can no doubt be done by the neutraliza tion of direct rights of way under the gen eral guarantee which will ascure the peace Itself. With a right comity of arrangement no nation need be shut away from free ac cess to the open paths of the world's com merce. And the paths of the sea must alike In law and In fact be free. The freedom of the seas is the sine qua non of peaoe, equality and oo-operatlon. No doubt a somewhat radical reconsideration of many of the rules of International practice hith erto sought to be established may be nec essary In order to make the seas Indeed free and common In practically all circum stances for the use of mankind, but the motive for such changes is convincing and compelling. There can be no trust or in timacy between the peoples of the world without them. The free, constant, unthreatened Inter course of nations la an essential part of the process of peace and of development. It need not be difficult to define or to secure the freedom of the seas if the governments of the world sincerely deulre to come to an agreement concerning it. It is a problem closely conected with the limitation of naval armaments and the oo operatlon of the navies of the world In keeping the seas at once free and safe. And the question of limiting naval armaments opens the wider and perhaps more difficult question of the limitation of armies and of all programmes of military preparation. Difficult and delicate as these questions are they must be faced with the utmost candor and decided in a spirit of real accommoda tion if peace Is to come with healing In Its wings and come to stay. pnace cannot be had without concession and sacrifice. There can oe no sense of safety and equality among the nations if great preponderating armaments are hence forth to continue here and there to be built up and maintained. The statesmen of the world must plan fot peace and nations must adjust and accommodate their policy to It as they have planned for war and made ready for pitiless contest and rivalry. The question of armaments, whether on land or sea, Is the most immediately and intensely practical question connected with the future fortunes of nations and of mankind. I have spoken upon these great matters without reserve ard with the utmost ex pllcltness booauae It has seemed to me to be necessary If the world's yearning de sire for peace was anywhere to find free voht and utterance. Perhaps I am the only person in high authority among all the peoples of the world who la at liberty to fipeak and hold nothing back. I am speaking as an individual and yet I am spanking, also, of course, as the responsible head of a great government and I feel con fident that I huve said what the people of the United States would wlsn me to say. May I not add that I hope and believe that I am In effect speaking for liberals and friends of humanity in every nation and of every programme of liberty T I would fain believe that I am speaking for the silent mass of mankind everywhere who have as yet had no place or opportunity to speak their real hearts out concerning the death and ruin they see to have come already upon the persons and the homes they hold most dear. And In holding out the expectation that the people and Government of the United States will Join the other civilised nations of the world In guaranteeing the perma nence of peace upon such terms as I have named, I speak with the greater boldness and confidence because it is clear to every man who can think that there is in this promise no breach as a nation, but a ful fillment rather of all that we have pro fessed or striven for. I am proposing, as It were, that the na tions should with one accord adopt the doctrine of President Monroe as the doc trine of the world; that no nation should seek to extend Its policy over any other na tion or people, but that every people should be left free to determine Its own policy, Its own way of development, unhindered, un threutem'd, unafraid, the little along with the great and powerful. I am proposing that all nations hence forth avoid entangling alliances which would draw them into competitions of power, catch them In a net of Intrigue and selfish rivalry and dliturb their own affairs with influ ences Intruded from without. There Is no entangling alliance tn a concert of power. When all unite to act tn the same sense and with the same purpose all act In the common Interest and are free to live their own lives under a common protection. I am proposing government by the con sent of the governed; that freedom of the stns which In International conference after conference representatives) of the United States have urged with the eloquence of those who are the convinced disciples of liberty; and that moderation of armaments which makea of armies and navies a power for order merely, not an Instrument of ag gression or of selfish violence. These are American principles, American pollclea We can stand for no others. And they are also the principles and policies of forward looking men and women every where, of every modern nation, of every en lightened community. They are the prln olp'es of mankind and must prevail. Miners' Case Appealed. Washlngton.'D. C Litigation in volving claims of $1,233,000, treble damages, under the Sherman law, againttt the United Mine Workers of America by the Coronado and other Arkansas coal mining companies, was appealed to the Supreme court Tues day.

PRUDENCE of the PARSONAGE TrliiimiilltlMtllMirH'Mlli'Hijll'Mr'jiiliillillhijH'lFiiiJ;"':'! Prudence and Fairy enter tain the good ladies of the congregation and the result is rather disas trous for Prudence. Mr. Starr, a widower Method ist minister, has been assigned to the congregation at Mount Mark, Iowa. He and his daugh. ter Prudence she is nineteen and the eldest of five girls have come on ahead to get tho new parsonage ready for the younger members of the family. The whole town, especially the Methodist element, is very curi. ous about the strangers, and In dividually members of the church call at the parsonage and "pump" the girls for all they're worth. But the Starrs soon ad Just themselves to their new surroundings and after much preparation, Prudence and Fairy are going to entertain the La dies' Aid society. Some of the members are arriving now. CHAPTER III Continued. "Not on your life," said Carol promptly and emphatically ; "he's worse than Prudence. Like as not he'd give me a good thrashing Into the bargain. No I'm strong for Prudence when It comes to punishment in preference to father, I mean. I can't seem to be fond of any kind of punishment from anybody." For a while Carol was much de pressed, but by nature she was a buoy ant soul, and her spirits were presently soaring again. In the meantime, the Ladies of the Aid society continued to arrive. Pru dence and Fairy, freshly gowned and sraillng-faced, received them with cor diality and many merry words. It was not difficult for them; they had been reared In the hospitable atmosphere of Methodist parsonages, where, If you have but two dishes of oatmeal, the outsider Is welcome to one. That is Carol's description of parsonage life. But Prudence was concerned to ob serve that a big easy chair placed well back In a secluded corner, seemed to be giving dissatisfaction. It was Mrs. Adums who sat there first. She squirmed quite a little, and seemed to be gripping the arms of the chair with unnecessary fervor. Presently she stammered an excuse, and, rising, went into the other room. After that, Mrs. Miller, then Mrs. Jack, Mrs. Norey, and Mrs. Beed, in turn, sat there and did not stay. Prudence was quite ngo ulzed. Had the awful twins filled it with needles for the reception of the poor Ladles? At first opportunity she hurried into the secluded corner, intent upon trying the chair for herself. She snt down anxiously. Then she gasped and clutched frantically at the arm of the chair. For she discovered at once to her dismay that the chair was bot tomless, and that only by hanging on for her life could she keep from drop ping through. Up rose Prudence, conscientiously pulling after her the thin cushion which had concealed the choir's short coming. "Look, Fairy!" she cried. "Did you take the bottom out of this chair? It must have been horribly un comfortable for those who have sat there! However did it happen?" Fairy was frankly amazed, and a little inclined to be amused. "Ask the twins," she said tersely; "I know nothing about It." At that moment, the luckless Carol went running through the hall. Pru dence know it was she, without seeing, because she had a pecullur skipping run that wus quite characteristic and unmistakable. "Carol I" she called. And Carol paused. "Curol!" more imperatively. Then Carol slowly opened the door she was a parsonage girl and rose to the occasion. She smiled wlnsomely Carol was nearly always winsome. "How do you do?" she said brightly. "Isn't it a lovely day? Did you call me. Prudence?" "Yes. Do you know whore the bot tom of that chair has gone?" "Why no, Prudence gracious ! That chair! why, I didn't know you were going to bring that chair iu here. Why oh, I am so sorry ! Why In the world didn't you tell us beforehand?" Some of the Ladles smiled. Others lifted their brows and shoulders In a mildly suggestive way, that Prudeuce, after nineteen years In the parsonage, had learned to know ami dread. "And where Is the chnlr-bottom now?" she inquired. "And why did you take It?" "Why, we wanted to make " "You and Lnrk?" "Well, yes but It was really all my fault, you know. We wanted to make a seat up high In the peach tree, and the bottom off the chair was just flue. It' perfectly adorable sent," bright ening, but sobering again as she real ised the gravity of the occasion. "And (Bobbs-Merrtll, Copyright. 1916) we put the cushion In the chair so that it wouldn't be noticed. We never use that chair, you know. I'm so sorry about it." Carol was really quite crushed, but true to her parsonage training, she struggled valiantly and presently brought forth a crumpled and sickly smile. But Prudence smiled at her kindly. "Thut wasn't very naughty, Carol," she said frankly. "It's true that we sel dom use that chair. And we ought to have looked." She glanced reproach fully at Fairy. "It is strange that in dusting it, Fairy but never mind. You may go now, Carol. It Is all right." Then she apologized gently to the Ladies, and the conversation went on, but Prudence was uncomfortably con scious of keen and quizzical eyes turned her way. Evidently they thought she was too lenient. "Well, it wasn't very naughty," she thought wretchedly. "How can I pre tend it was terribly bad, when I feel In my heart that It wasn't!" The meeting progressed, and the business was presently disposed of. So far, things were not too seriously bad, and Prudence sighed in great re lief. Then the Ladies took out their sewing, and began industriously work ing at many articles, designed for the clothing of a lot of young Methodists confined in an orphans' home In Chi cago. And they talked together pleas antly and gayly. And Prudence and Fairy felt that the cloud was lifted. But soon it settled again, dark and lowering. Prudence heard Lark run ning through the hall and her soul mis gave her. Why was Lark going up stairs? To be sure, her mission might be innocent, but Prudence dared not run the risk. Fortunately she was sit ting near the door. "Larkl" she called softly. Lark stopped abruptly, and something fell to the floor. "Larkl" The Ladles smiled, and Miss Carr, laughing lightly, said, "She is an atten tive creature, isn't she?" Prudence would gladly have flown out into the hall to settle this matter, but she realized that she was on exhi- "Isn't That a Handsome Venus?" bltlon. Had she done so, the Lndies would have set her down forever after ns thoroughly Incompetent she could not go! But Lurk must come to her. "Lark !" This was Prudence's most awful voice, and Lark was bound to heed. "Oh, Prue," she said plaintively, "I'll be there In a minute. Can't you wait just five minutes? Let me run up stairs first, won't you? Then I'll come gladly! Won't that do?" Her voice was hopeful. But Pru dence replied with dangerous calm : "Come at once. Lark." "All right, then," and added threat eningly, "but you'll wish I hadn't." Then Lark opened the door a woe ful figure ! In one hand she carried an empty shoe box. And her fuce was streuked with good rich Iowa mud. Her clothes were plastered with it. One shoo was caked from the sole to the very top button, and a great gash in her stocking revealed a generous por tion of round, white leg. Poor Prudence 1 At that moment she would have exchanged the whole par sonage, bathroom, electric lights and all, for a tiny log cabin In the heart of a great forest, where she and Lark might he aloue together. And Fairy laughed. Frudence looked at her with tears In her eyes, and then turned to the wretched girl. "What have you been doing. Lark?" The heartbreak expressed tn the face of Lark would have mode the angels weep. Beneath the smudges of mud on her cheeks she was pallid, and, try as she would, she could not keep her chin from trembling ominously. Her voice, when she was able to speak, was barely recognizable. lii'iUltiliiWNII'i'illiltN.itl By ETHEL HUESTON "We we we are making mud images, Prudence. It it was awfully messy, I know, but they say it is such a good and useful thing to do. We we didn't expect the the La dies to see us." "Mud Images !" gasped Prudence, and even Fairy stared incredulously. "Where in the world did you get hold of an idea like that?" "It it was in that that Mother's Home Friend paper you take, Pru dence." Prudence blushed guiltily. "It was modeling in clay, but we haven't any clay, and the mud is very nice, but oh, I know I look just horrible. I I Connie pushed me in the puddle for fun." Another appealing glance Into her sister's face, and Lark plunged on, bent on smoothing matters if she could. "Carol is is just fine at it, really. She she's making a Venus de Mllo, and it's good. But we can't re member whether her arm Is off at the elbow or below the shoulder " An enormous gulp, and by furious blinking Lark managed to crowd back the tears that would slip to the edge of her lushes. "I I'm very sorry, Prudence." "Very well, Lark, you may go. I do not really object to your modeling in mud, I am sure. I am sorry you look so disreputable. You must change your shoes and stockings at once, and then you can go on with your model ing. But there must be no more push ing and chasing. I'll see Connie about that tonight. Now go." And Lark wag swift to avail herself of the permission. Followed a quiet hour, and then the Ladies put aside their sewing and walked about the room, chatting In little groups. With a significant glance to Fairy, Prudence walked calmly to the double doors between the dining room and the sitting room. The eyes of the Ladies followed her with Inter est, and even enthusiasm. They were hungry. Prudence slowly opened wide the doors, and stood amazed! The Ladies clustered about her, and stood amazed also. The dining room was there, and the table! But the appear ance of the place was vastly different I The snowy cloth was draped artis tically over a picture on the wall, the lowest edges well above the floor. The plates and trays, napkin-covered, -were safely stowed away on the floor in dis tant corners. The kitchen scrub buck et had been brought in and turned up side down, to afford a fitting resting place for the borrowed punch bowl, full to overflowing with fragrant lem onade. And at the table were thrte dirty, disheveled little figures, bending seri ously over piles of mud. A not-unrecognizable Venus de Mllo occupied the center of the table. Connie was pains takingly at work on some animal, a dog perhaps, or possibly an elephant And The three young modelers looked up in exclamatory consternation as the doors opened. "Oh, are you ready?" cried Carol "How time has flown 1 We hnd no idea you'd be ready so soon. Oh, we are sorry, Prudence. We intended to have everything fixed properly for you again. We needed a flat place for our model ing. It's a shame, that's what it is. Isn't that a handsome Venus? I did that ! If you'll Just shut the door one minute, Prudence, we'll have every thing exactly as you left It. And we're as sorry as we can be. You can have my Venus for a centerpiece, if yon like." Prudence silently closed the doors, and the Ladles, laughing significantly, drew away. "Don't you think, my dear," began Mrs. Prentiss too sweetly, "that they are a little more than you can manage? Don't you really think an older woman Is needed?" "I do not think so," cried Fairy, be fore her sister could speak, "no older woman could be kinder, or sweeter, or more patient and helpful than Prue." "Undoubtedly true I But something more Is needed, I am afraid! It ap pears that girls are a little more dis orderly than in my own young days I Perhaps I do not Judge advisedly, but It seems to me they are a little un manageable." Don't you think thai Mr. Starr would save Prudence much worry and responsibility If he gave a little less time to hit per sonal duties and a little more to helping her manage the young sters?

DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody will Know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. l Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 60 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw . this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
