Early In October summonses were sent
for a number of department heads with the
word that the ioernor wanted to see them
In llarrlsburg The business was Important
The department head hurried to Hnrrlsbuig
and went to the cccutue olllces In the

Then he handed out envelopes. In caoh

But tho department heads, knowing poll

WILSON'S MIND AND H. G. WELLS'S
SHOWN IN REMARKABLE HARMONY
I'ontlnnul from Pane One
In n state of open nnd manifest disorder, for tho protection of foreign travelers nnd
of persons nnd Interests localised In that countty but foreign to It,"
In the bringing nliout of such "nn iigreeinonl tlmt would at once lift Inin
nntlonnl politics out of the bloody nnd, hopeless squalor" of war. Atncrlrn, ileelnres
Mr. Wells, Is the answer. Tho United Stales, he writes, "must play tho tmtt of the
iinltnpassloned thhd pnrt It Is Amerlcu'n wuiireiile tiiptirtunit."
"It Is Inconceivable," snld Mr. Wilson, "tll.tl the lieople nf the fulled Htntr
shoilhl play no part In that great enterprise (the bringing nbout of a Listing world
peace).
"to take purl In audi a fccrvlce will bo Hiu opportunity for which tlm Iim

Itotlt speak for ntt "nuloitoinous Pohinil."
The history of tho Wells article is Interesting. Accmdlng to tlcnrge H"i m
Loriuior. etlllor of the Sattinlay livening I'osi, It Wan written some time in Nnum
her, presumably, nml was In tlie pnslofllco on lleceiiibor A, two weekA before l'ni
(lent Wilson sent his peace note of December 1R to Hid flmrrnmcntu of Hie waiim
nations. Tho article was sent to the presses .Innuary S anil appeared on tin- :i
yesterday In tho Issue of the magazine tinted .Innunry 27.
The 1'ioshlent did not announce hl3 intention nf addressing the Senate on
momentous question of a world poare ttntil Hie iiiornlng of Jnttunry 28.
The outHlandlng simltnrittea nre:
till t'rtaidcnt, Witson:
Tiiey imply, urst or nil. tnnt it must oo
a peace without lclory It is not pleasant
to snj this 1 beg Hint I mny be permitted
to put m own Interpretation upon It and
that It may be understood that no other
Interpretation was In mt thought, t am
seeking tint) to face realities and tn face
them without concealment Victnr would
mpan pence forced upon the loser, a le
tor's terms Imposed upon the vanquished.
"It would be accepted In humiliation
tinder duress, nt nn Intolerable sacrifice
and would leae a sting, a resentment, n
hitter memory upon which terms of peace
would rest, not permanently, but onl ns
upon quicksand iinly n pence between
equals can Inst. Only n peace the er
principle of which is cqual!t and common
pnrtli'li ntlo.i In n common benefit. The
right stule of mind, the right feeling be
tween nations, is as necessary for lasting
pi ace as lu tho Just se.ilemeni or vexed
questions of territory or of racial and na
tional allegiance "
AMEIUCA'S PART
"I do not mean to s.iy that an American
Government would throw any obstacle In
the way of nn terms nf pence the Clovern
ments now at war might ngreo upon, or sock
to upset them when made, whatever the
might be 1 only take It for granted that
mere terms of peace between the belllger
enta vlll not satisfy even the belligerents
themsolves. Mere agreements may not make
peaco secure. It will be nhsolutely neces
sary that n force be created as a guarantor
of the permnnctic ol ;;ie settlement so
much grenler than the for e of nn nation
now engaged or any alliance heretofore
formed or projected that no nation, no prob
able combination of nations, could face or
withstand It.
"If tho peace preseiitl to be made l to
endure It must be a peace made secure by
the organised major force of mankind "
MON'ItOK
I nni piopoBiig, as it were, that the na
tions should with one accord adopt the
doctrine of President .Monroe as tho doc
trine of Mo world That no nation should
seek to extend Its policy ntcr any other
nation or people, but ' that every people
should be left free to determine Its own
pollt, Its own wn of development, unhin
dered, unthrentencd. unafraid, the little
along with the great and powerful
"I nni proposing that nil nations hence
forth avoid entangling alliances which
would draw them Into competitions of
power, cntth them In a net of lutriguo anil
selfish rivalry and disturb their own af
fairs with Influence Intruded from with
out There are no entangling alliances In
n concert of power When nil unite to
act tn the same sense and with the same
purpose, all act in the common interest and
are fiec to llvo their own lives unajr a com-
win ntnt Alt Inn.
NEUTRAL
"No covenant of co-opeiatle peace that
does not include the pilnclples of the New
World can stilllce to keep t.ie future safe
ngolnst war: and vet there Is only one sort
of peace that the people of America could
Join In guaranteeing The elements of that
neaie must b elements that engage tho
confidence nnd sutlsfy tho principles of the
American Governments, eienionm l-uiihuiciii
with tholr political faith and the practical
convictions which the peoples of America
have once for all embraced and undei taken
to defend
POLAND
I take it for granted, for instance. It
I nia) venture upon a single example, that
statesmen everywhere nre agreed that there
should bo a united. Independent and au
tonomous Poland nnd that henceforth In
violable security of life, of worship, and
of Industrial and socinl development should
be guaranteed to all peoples who have lived
hitherto under the power of governments
devoted to a faith nnd purpose hostile to
theirOV,n- FREEDOM
"And the paths of the sea must nlilto in
law and in fact bu freo. Tho freedom of
the Bens is tho slno qna non of a pence,
equality nnd co-operation No doubt a
somewhat radical reconsideration of many
of tho rules of International practice hither
to thought to bo established may bo neces
sary in order to make the seas indeed free
and common In practically all circum
stances for tho use of mankind, but the
motive for such changes Is convincing and
compelling There can bo no trust or inti
macy between tho peoples of tho world
without them. Tho frco, constant, unthreat-t-ned
Intercourse of nations is nn essential
part of the process of peace and of de
velopment it need not be dilllcult either
to define or to secure the freedom of the
seas If the governments of the world sin
cerely deslro tq come to an agreement con
cerning it.
