Ills address tomorrow night before the League to Knforce Peace Is expected to be In tho nature of a preliminary overture. Will" Is DniIIocI(m1, The president Is convinced the war is deadlocked ami that continuance merely moans the killing of more people and the further Improvetlsh mout of Kuropean netlous, both bel ligerent and neutral. Mr. Wilson's olosost advlior be lieve the rulers of warring nations, because of their close relationship, even kinship, will have as Important a part In restoring peace a the min isters of their governments. It will occasion no surprise In official cir cles if In some manner the rulers of tho countries at war open the way for peace conveisatious. The picslilent takes the position. It was authoritatively stated, that the neutrals of the world, as much aa belligerents, have a right to" par ticipate In, and If possible, Initiate pence negotiations because of the economic results already developed und those which will follow the con flict. N Deeply Inleieoted. The president has been deeply In terested In the growth of peace tulle among responsible officials, lie hu read and filed away recent apeeches by President Polnesre of France.

H' has conveed the impression to those who have talked with him that he thluka the continuance of these dis cussions Is bound to have Its effect In restoring peace, despite the belllger. ent attitude taken by some of the officials. The president has Indicated that he Is deslrious that the United Stales show Its frlenshlp for all of tho na tlona Involved by contending for a peace which will be fair to all of them and protect each from being crushed or humiliated ARMY BILL TOTALS SI 52,274,297 WANlllNtiTt'N.
