An the most notable utterance yet made by any statesman of
"any nation irt the war, President Wilson spoke for humanity, civil

yesterday afternoon, putting into plain and understandable Ian

gary into autonomous divisions along racial lines; the restoration
to Poland by Germany of ftbe,, Province of Posen and to France of
Alsace-Lorraine; the disposition of Germany's lost colonies by inter
national tribunal and the binding of Germany and her allies to a
xlicy of disarmament and io quaranteed pledges never again to
force the world into a war of self-defense.
Peace, he stated, will be brought about by the acceptance by the
Central Powers of those conditions that will remove the chief provo
catives of war. ' ' 1
NOTHING LESS WILL DO
In order that hie pronouncement might be definitely understood
.v.. u,., .im. nt tk TTnVM States, and not as Deace aims, the
' President declared: "For such an arrangement and covenant we
are today willing to fight nd, lyijling to continue fighting, whatever
the cost and effort, until they are achieved.
The President repeated the statement he had made in previous
pronouncements that the world is at war only with a Germany
"crazed By war" and not upon Germany of peaceful pursuits. "I
do not presume", he continued, "to suggest either alteration or modi
fication of Germany's institutions, but it is necessary for intelligent
dealing with that government that we' should know if her spokes
men represent the reichstag majority or simply the military party
who appeal for the demolition of the rights of others. We wish her
to accept a place of equality among the peoples of the world, but
of a new world in which we may all live, not a,, world in which some
endeavor to assert their mastery over others.
WHAT GERMANY MUST ACCEPT
The President then read his categorical demands, the war aims
of the United States, fourteen in number. . These are:
. 1 The formulation and acceptance of ; open peace covenants,
without Drivate. international understandings. .
2 Absolute freedom of the seas in peace or war except as they
may be closed by international actionVv
3 Removal of all economic barriers between nations ; the estab
lishment of an equality in trade conditions a'mongHhe nations con
scnting to peace and associating themselves for Its maintenance.
4 Guarantees for a reduction of national armaments to the low
