President Wlbnus mesFaKe tn France has been recehed'here with universal Reclamation, and has bad the fffeet of Intensifying, if that he possible, the af fection and admiration France feela for the American Republic. "Our brothers," writes Leon Ballby, In his journal, IIntransis-eant. "Yes, truly, we accept this designation, and they are alfo our brothers, those Brltls-b whose blood has flowed with that of our own soldiers at Ypres. at Vimy, In the Somme. at Oalllpoli ; our brothers, too, are all those who have thrown Into our cause their hopes, their young man. and their resources. The greatness of the peace of tomorrow will be this brother hood solemnly founded on the battle field." The, Tays. which long ago shed Its defeatist tendencies and has become under Its new direction one of the most readable Paris newspapers, expresses the hope that Wilson will toon say what he thinks of the recent Oerman peace of fensive an the diplomatic falsehoods, so easily believed, of the Central Empires The Pays also notes with approval "the echo of Wilson's impe.rlous olce." In Taft's triumph call for stern and Im placable war In his speech In Philadel phia on Thursday. Louis I.ataple. In the Itepubllque Francalse. emphasises the Importance of the fact so rare In history, of "a whole people rising to help another people, with no other reason-for helping each other than their common worship of liberty and no other Interest than the Interest of Justice." He saya: These millions of young men who are coming to offer their lives cn our soil are fighting for an Idea. And this Idea cannot be abolished, because It Is the very essence of life of people. No, liberty cannot be vanquished. ''If It disappears for a day In the temnest It Is only to be reborn soon after more beloved and more virile than ever. The alliance of the two great re publics of Kurope and America and the union of their armies in battle against imperial barbarism is the decisive phase of-thls progress which nothing can stop. The Americans are our brothers and their blood is flowing with ours for a common cause. This Is. a greater fact than the battle Itself. Here is an Im mense progress alrea.dy realized. Here a our conquest. Here Is our victory."
