President Wilson's Message to Russia, the text of - which was
published in Monday's papers, is a powerful and timely warning. He restates the position of America in the war with great clearness. " She seeks no material profit 'or aggrandizement of any kind. She' is fighting for no advantage or selfish object of her owns but for the
liberation of peoples everywhere front the aggressions of autocratic' force." The impossibility of making peace with the Hohenzollern
is implicit in Mr. Wilson's statement that the -Imperial Gennau Government and those whom it is using for their own undoing., are seeking to obtain pledges that the war will end in the restore...0 tion of the status quo ante:-- " It was the status quo ante out of which this iniquitous warissued forth—the power of the. Imperial Gernum Government within t the Empire, and its widespread domination and influence outside, of that Empire. That status must be altered in such fashion as to prevent any such hideous thing from over happening again."
