It is very delightful to find myself in-Fiance and to feel tho quick contact of sympathy and unaffected friendship between the representatives of the United States and the repiesentatives of Fiance. "You have been veiy generous in what you weie pleased to say about myself, but I feel that what I hac said and what 'I have tried to do has been said and done only in an attempt to speak the thought of the people of the United States truly and to carry that thought out in action. "From the first, the thought of the people of the United States tuined toward something moie than the mere winning of'this war". It turned to the establishment of eternal principles of light and jus tice. It realised that merely to win the war was not enough; that it must be won in such a way and the questions raised by it settled in such a way as to insure the future peace of the world and lny thj foundations for the freedom ' nnd happiness ,of its many peo ples and nations. "Never before has war worn so terrible a visage, or exhibited more grossly the debasing influ ence of illicit ambitions. I am sute that I shall look upon the ruinvi ought by the aimies of the Central Empires with the same repulsion and deep indignation that they stir in the hearts of the men of France and Belgium, and I appreciate' as you do. Sir, the necessity of such action in the final settlement of the issues of the war as will not only rebuke such acts of terror and spoliation, but make men everywhere aware that they cannot be ventured upon Insists Upon League of Nations President Wilson, in addressing d Socialist delegation which called on him today in Paris, said: Gentlemen: I receive 'with great interest the address which you have just read to me. "The war through which we have just passed has illustrated in a way which never can be forgotten the ex traordinary wrongs which can be perpetrated by arbitrary and irre sponsible power. It is not possible to secure the happiness anjl prosperity of the world, to establish an enduring peace, unless the repetition of such wrongs is rendered impossible. This has indeed been a people's war. It has been waged against absolutism and militarism, and these enemies of liberty must fom this time forth be shut out from the possibility of working their cruel will upon mankind. WOMAN'S SUIT HALTS SALE 'OF GERMAN-OWNED PLAN! Wife of Schuttc-Kocrting Manager Gets Temporary Injunction Re. straining Alien Property Cttstodian From Selling Prop. erty First Test of Federal Law The first "test of the right of the. Gov ernment, to seize and sell property tvn ed by 'Germans In this country was begun today. Auction of the German-owned stock of the Schutte &, Koertlng Company, by the alien property custodian, was stopped at the last minute by an Injunc- ilou obtained at Sunbury, by Mrs. Adel- bert FlBcher. She is the wife pt the managing director of the company. Mr. Fischer Is now interned as an enemy alien. The Injunction, which was served on Ralph J. Baker, of Ilarrlsburg, assist ant general counsel for Allen Property Custodian A. Mitchell Palmer, ques tions the right of the United States Government to sell property of the suo Jects of the former Kaiser. Mr, Baker refused to comment on the Injunction,, making only the announce ment that the auction hate been Indefin itely postponed. Becausejihe court pro without the certainty of just pun-, ishment. "I know with whnt ardor and enthusiasm the soldieis and sail oi s of the United States haye given the best that was in them in this war of redemption. They have expiessed the true spiiit of America. They believe their ideals to be acceptable to flee peoples everywhere, and are rejoiced to haye played the part they have played in giving leality to those ideals in co-operation with the armies of the Allies. "We nie proud of the part they have played and we are happy that they should have been asso ciated with such comrades in a common cause. "It is with peculiar feeling, Mr. President, that I find myself in Fiance, joining with you in le joicing over the victoiy that has been won. The ties that bind Fiance and the United States are peculiarly close. I do not know in what other comiadeship we could have fought with moie zest or enthusiasm. It will daily be a matter of pleasure with me to be brought into consultation with the statesmen of France and her al lies, in concerting the measuies by which we may secure perma nence for these happy lelations of fiiendship and co-operation and secure for the world at large such safety and freedom in its life as can be secured only by the con stant association and co-operation of friend. "I Kreet you, not.pnlywJth deej,, personal l espect, but 'as the rep" sentative of the great people -of France, and beg to bring you the greetings of another great people, to whom the foi tunes of France aie of profound and lasting inter est. "I laise my glass to the health of the President of the French Republic and to Mme, Poincare and the prosperity of France." In my judgment, it is not suffi cient to establish this principle. It is necessary that it should be sup ported by a co-operation of the nations which shall be based upon fixed""and definite covenants and which shall be made certain of effective action through the in strumentality of a league of na tions. I believe this to be the con viction of all thoughtful and lib eral, men. I am confident that this is the thought of those who lead your own great nation and 1 am look ing forward with peculiar pleasure to co-operating with them-n se curing guarantees of a living peace of justice and right dealing which ahall justify the saciifices of this war and cause men to look back upon those sacrifices as the dramatic and final processes of their emancipation. ceedings were begun In Sunbury, the Government agents were unable to make answer to the Injunction In time to hold the sale today.. The stock of the company which was to have been sold aggregates 1400,000. Adelbert Fischer, said to hae been a reserve officer In the German army, was president of the company when It was seized by the Government, it was then manufacturing ejectors a"nd ejector valves for the United States navy. At tin time It was alleged by the Gov ernment that In Its dealing with the navy the German owners of the con cern had learned many military secrets. Shortly after the United States en tered the war Fischer and his wife were arrested by Government agents and were charged with smuggling twp chronom eters from two German raiders, the Prince Eltel Frledrlch and the Kronprlnz Wllhelm. whloh had been Interned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Mrs. Fischer was acquitted and Fischer was Interned.
