8 WILSON TO AWAIT PREMIER'S SPEECH [Continued From First Pago.] copy of the official French text ob tained from a diplomatic source, shows that, while accurate In sub stance, the previously published ver sion had many o fthe document's sen tences out of their proper order. The translation follows: "The most terrible war which hls t6ry has known has been ravaging a largo part of the world for two and a half. This calamity, which tho bonds of thousands of years of a common civilization have not been able to prevent, is injuring hu manity in its most precious heritage. It threatens to plunge into its ruins the moral and material progress which was the pride of Europe at the dawn of the twentieth century. See Further Conquests "In this struggle Germany and her allies—Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey—have given proof of their unconqueruhlo strength by achieving important successes over adversaries superior in numbers and in war ma terial. Their unshaken lines resist the continuous attacks of the armies of their adversaries. Tho last diver sion in the Balkans has been speedily and victoriously thwarted. Recent events have demonstrated that the prolongation of the war would not be able to break their power of resist ance. On the okher hand, tho general situation justifies them in hoping for further successes. "It was to defend their existence and the freedom of their national de velopment that the four allied powers were forced to take up arms. The achievements of their armies have not altered this purpose. Not for a single Instant havo they departed from the conviction that respect for the right of other nations is in no way incom patible with legitimate interests. They do not seek to shatter or annihilate their adversaries. Will Fight to End "Conscious of their military and economic power and ready if necessary to continue to tho very end the strug gle which has been forced upon them, but Inspired at the same time with the desire to stop the flow of blood and to put an end to the horrors of war, the four allied powers propose to enter forthwith into negotiations for peace. They are convinced that the proposals which they will submit and which aim to Insure the existence, the honor and the development of their peopler will be appropriate to serve aa a basis for the re-establishment of a permanent peace. "If, despite this offer of peace and reconciliation, the struggle should go on, the four allied powers are deter mined to continue it to the end, dis claiming solemnly before humanity and history responsibility therefor." President Wilson Is known to attack great importance to the possibility of establishing an association of nations to maintain peace. He outlined in definite terms the procedure he would take in initiating a peace movement, in the course of a speech delivered here last May before the League to Enforce Peace. At that time the President said: Has Outlined Lines "If it should ever be our privilege to suggest or iuitiate the movement for peace among tho nations now at war, I am sure that tho people of tho United States would wish their gov ernment to move along these lines: "First. Such a settlement with re gard to their own immediate interests as the belligerents may agree upon. We have nothing material of any kind to ask lor ourselves, and are quite aware that we are in no sense or de gree parties to the present quarrel. Our interest is only in peace and its future guarantees. "Second. A universal association of the nations to maintain the inviolate security of the highways of the seas for the common and unhindered use of all the nations of the world and to prevent any war begun either con trary to treaty covenants or without warning and full submission of the causes to the opinion of the world— a virtual guarantee of territorial inte grity and political independence." Formal Notes In the same speech the President said the American people believed fundamentally that every people have a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live, and that the email states of the world have a right to enjoy the same respect for their territorial integrity that great and powerful nations expect and insist upon. Secretary Lansing early to-day held his first personal conference with President Wilson since the peace pro posals of the Central Powers were made public. It was said tho formal notes from Germany and Austria might go forward night and necessar > Uy in view of the probability that the President would take no independent action until after Lloyd George has spoken in the House of Commons, they probably will be accompanted only by formal notes of transmittal. After his conference with Presi dent Wilson, Secretary Lansing said the position of the American govern ment had not been finally determined and the note from Turkey had not been received. There 'were indications that while the President was still waiting for an expression of the attitude of the en tente allies before taking any formal step, he had made up his mind suffi ciently on his general policy to dis cuss it with the cabinet. FILLING Ol'T NEW CABINET Paris, Dec. 15.—Albert Metin, gen eral budget reporter of the Chamber of Deputies and formerly minister of labor, has been appointed Under-Sec retary of finance. M.

IB.—Edmund Scliulthess, the new president of Switzerland, af firms the intention of his country to maintain strict neutrality, in an In terview with the Berne correspondent of the Petit Journal. "The policy of Switzerland," President Schulthess as serts, "dictated by our traditions, our desires, even by our vital interests, is and will remain that of loyal and strict neutrality toward all the bellig erents, a neutrality sustained by an immovable resolution to defend our \ Integrity and independence against all comers. Any assertion to the contrary Is quite without foundation." JOE HALDEN DEAD Santa Rosa. Cala., Dev. 15.—Joseph T.
