Lonely American Gentleman
Wants Indian Girl For Wife
Carlisle. Pa., Jan. 22. A little ex
citement has been caused among the
350 girls of the Carlisle Indian School
by an advertisement appearing in a
local paper, in which a lonely New
Yorker, who describes himself as an
"American gentleman," asks for cor
respondence with a young Indian
maiden with a view to matrimony.
The New York man gives his name as
Harold Nordylil and his address as
General Delivery, Buffalo, N. Y.
In l.is correspondence Nordyhl
merely asks that the advertisement
be inserted in several daily issues and
that any replies received be sent to
him. Attracted by the offer, it is ex
pected, that not a few of the dusky
maidens will respond to the request.
Move to Locate Machine
Gun Company at Lemoyne
Carlisle. Pa.. Jan. 22. From infor
mation contained in letters from mem
bers of the organization to friends here,
it is probable that a move will be made
to have the recently-formed machine
gun company, of the Eighth Pennsyl
vania Regiment, have its headquarters
at 1-emoyne. Efforts will also be made
to increase the number of Harrisburg
and Cumberland county men in the
body. Captain Rj.lph Crow, of Lemoyne,
is commander and John S. Carroll, of
Carlisle, employed at the State Capi
tol, is first lieutenant.

MAY REOPEN FURNACE
Marietta, Pa., Jan. 22. Rumors
are being circulated here that the old
Yesta furnace, which has been idle

WAVE MEDIUM?
Mining Engineer Experiment
ing in Wireless Telegraphy,
Makes Important Discovery
Carlisle, Pa.. Jan. 22. An inter
esting field of discussion ha.-? been
opened, persons here interested in
scientific matters say, by
conducted by Harold T. Mapcs, of
Carlisle, a mining engineer, who is
spending a vacation at his home here
during troubles in Mexico, where he
was formerly stationed. He has found
through exhaustive tests with an ela
borate wireless receiving station that
by disconnecting the roof aerial, and
having two persons act as aerial in
the room with the machines by touch
ing the aerial post and clasping hands
their bodies gather enough radial
waves to receive very well. .
This has raised a question of great
interest and scientific authorities will
be consulted on the matter. The ques
tion is: If the human body acts as an
effective medium for receiving and
transmitting radial waves in an ordi
nary receiving experiment, are not all
human bodies the constant recipients
of radial waves at all hours from
sending stations?
ASKS IF U. S. SHALL

when they set up a new nation in the
high and honorable hope that it might
in all that it was and did show man
kind the way to liberty. They cannot,
in honor, withhold the service to
which they are now about to be chal
lenged. They do not wish to with
hold it. Hut they owe it to themselves
and to the other nations of the world
to state the conditions under which
they will feel free to render it.
Must .loin Oilier Nations
"That service is nothing less than
this —to add their authority and their
power to the authority and force of
other nations to guarantee peace and
justice throughout the world.. Such
a settlement cannot now be long post
poned. It is right that before it conies
this government should frankly form
ulate the conditions upon which it
would feel justified in asking our peo
ple to approve its formal and solemn
adherence to a league for peace. lam
here to attempt to state those condi
tions.
"The present war must first be end
ed; but we owe it to candor and to
a just regard for the opinion of man
kind to say that so far as our partici
pation in guarantees of future peace
Is concerned, it makes a great deal or
difference in what way and upon what
terms it is ended. The treaties and
agreements which bring it to an end
must embody terms which will create
a peace that is worth guaranteeing
and preserving, a peace that will win
the approval of, mankind; not merely
a peace that will servo the several in
terests and immediate aims of the
nations engaged. We shall have no

voice in determining what those terms
shall be, but we shall, I feci sure,
have a voice in determining whether
they shall be made lasting or not by
the guarantees of a universal coven
ant and our judgement upon what is
fundamental and essential as a con
dition precedent to permanency
should be spoken now, not afterwards
when it may be too late.
"No covenant of co-operative peace
that does not include the people of the
new world can suffice to keep the fu
ture safe against war, and yet there
is only one sort of peace that the peo
ples of America could join in guaran
teeing.
Must Satisfy V. S. Pinciples
i "The elements of that peace must
be elements that engage the eonli
j dence and satisfy the principles of
I American governments, elements con
-1 sistent with their political faith and
1 the practical convictions which the
peoples of America have once for all
embraced and undertaken to defend.
"I do not mean to SP/ that any
American government would throw
! any obstacle in the way of any terms
I of peace the governments now at war
j might agree upon or seem to upset
j them when made, whatever they
might be. I only take it for granted
j that mere terms of peace between
j the belligerents will not satisfy even
the belligerent themselves. Mere
j agreements may not make peace se-
I cure. It will be absolutely necessary
' that a force be created as a guarantor

so much greater than the force of any
nation now engaged or any alliance
hitherto formed or projected, that no
nation, no probable combination of
nations could face or withstand it. If
the peace presently to be made is to
endure it must be peace made here
by the organized major force of man
kind.
Terms Will Determine
| "The terms of the immediate peace
agreed upon will determine whether
j it is a peace for which such a guaran
j tor can be secured. The question up
on which the whole future peace and
policy of the world depends is this:
"Is the present war a struggle
for a just and secure peace or
only for a new balance of power?
If it be only a struggle for a new
balance of power, who will guar
antee, who can guarantee, the
stable equilibrium of the new
arrangement? Only a tranquil
£urope can be a stable Europe
Ihere must be, not a balance of
power, but a community of
power; not organized rivalries,
but an organized common peace.
Have Assurances
Fortunately we have received very
explicit assurances on this point. The
n!i\i eSmen of both of the groups of
nations now arrayed against one an
other have said, in terms that could
b ® ™ sln terpreted. that it was no
part of the purpose they had in mind
to crush their antagonists. But the
implications of these assurances may
nnJ clear to all many
not be the same on both sides of the
water I think it will bo serviceable
if I attempt to setforth what we un
derstand them to be.
I*paee Without Victory
1.0 T , lmpl ?: " rst of all that it must
n? * P??® without victory. It is not
pleasant to say this. I beg that I may
nroiuti™ to p,lt my own inter
pretation upon it and thai it may be
understood that no other interpret®!
f'° n ®" n my thought. lam seek
ing only to face realities and to face
ithem without soft concealments. Vic
tory would mean peace forced upon
the loser, a victor's terms imposed
upon the vanquished, it would be ac
cepted in humiliation, under duress,
at an intolerable sacrifice, and would
leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter
memofy upon which terms of peace
would rest, not permanent, but only
as upon quicksand. Only a peace be
tween equals can last; only a peace
the very principle of which is equality
and a common participation in a com
mon benefit. The right state of mind,
the right feeling between nations, is
as necessary for a lasting peace as is
tne Just settlement of vexed questions
or territory or of racial and national
allegiance.
Founded On Equality
The equality of nations upon which
peace must be founded, if it is to last,
must be an equality of rights; the
guarantees exchanged must neither
recognize nor imply a difference be
tween big nations and small, between !
those that are powerful and those j
ihat are weak. Right must be based !
"je common strength, not upon
the individual strength of the nations
V, pon *' hose con cert peace will depend.!
Kquality of territory or of resources i
there of course cannot be; nor any
other sort of equality not gained in |
the ordinary peaceful and legitimate
development of the peoples them-1
selves. But no one asks or expects I
anything more than an equality of
rights. Mankind is looking now for
freedom of life, not for equipoises of
power.
( Poland Should Be Free
, ,' A " d there is a deeper thing in
\ol\ed than even equality of right
among organized nations. No peace
can last, or ought to last, which does
not recognize and accept the principle
that governments derive all their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and that no right anywhere
exists to hand peoples about from
sovereignty to sovereignty, as if they
were property. I take it for granted,
for instance, if I may venture upon
a single example, that statesmen
everywhere are agreed that there
should be a united, independent and
autonomous Poland and that hence
forth inviolable surety of life, of wor
ship and of industrial and social de
velopment should be gur -anteed to
all peoples who have lived hitherto
under the power of governments de
voted to a faith and purpose hostile
to their own.
"I speak of this, not because of a
desire to exalt an abstract political
principle which has always been held
very dear by those who have sought
to build up liberty in America but for
the same reason that I have spoken
of the other conditions of peace which
seem to me clearly indispensable
because I wish frankly to uncover
realities. Any peace which does not
recognize and accept this principle
will inevitably be upset. It will not
rest upon the affections or the con
victions of mankind. The ferment of
spirit of whole populations will fight
subtly and constantly against it and
all the world will sympathize. The
world can be at peace only if its life
is stable and there can be no Stability
where the will is in rebellion, where
there is no tranquillity of spirit and a
sense ot justice, of freedom and of
right.
AH Should Have Sea Outlet
"So as practicable, moreover, every
great people now struggling towards
a full development of its resources,
and of its powers should be assured
a direct outlet, to the great highways
of the sea. Where this cannot be done
by the cession of territory, it can no
doubt bo done by the neutralization
of direct rights of way under the gen
eral guarantee which will assure the
peace itself. With a, right comity of
arrangement no nation need be shut
away from free access to the open
paths of the world's commerce,

freedom of (he seas is the sine qua

reconsideration of many of the rules
of international practice hitherto
sought to be established may he neces
sary in order to make the seas indeed
free and common in'practically all
circumstances for the use of 'man
kind, but the motion for such changes
is convincing and compelling. There
can bo no trust nor intimacy between
the peoples of the world without them
The free, in-
tercourse of nations is an essential
part of the process of peace and of
development. It need not be difficult
to define or to secure the freedom of
the seas if the governments of the
world sincerely desire to come to un
agreement concerning it.
Touches on Armaments
"It is a problem closely connected
with the limitation of naval arma
ments and tho co-operation of the
navies of the world In keeping the
seas at once free and safe. And on
the other hand limited armaments
opposed the wider and perhaps more
difficult question of the limitation of
armies and of all programs of mili
tary preparation. Difficult and deli
cate as these questions are, they must
be faced with the utmost candor and
decided In a spirit of real accommo
dation if peace is to come with heal
ing in its wings and come to stay.
Peace cannot be had without conces
sion and sacrifice. There can be no
sense of safety and equality among
the nations if great preponderating
armaments are henceforth to continue
here and there to be built up and
maintained. The statesmen of the
world must plan for peace and na
tions must adjust and accommodate
their policy to it as they have plan

intensely practical question connected
with the future of nations and of
mankind.
Speaks Without Reserve
"I have spoken upon these great
matters without reserve and with the
utmost explicit ness Because it has
seemed to me to be necessary if the
world's yearning desire for peace was
anywhere to find free voice and utter
ance. Perhaps I am the only person
in high authority amongst all the
peoples of the world who is at liberty
to speak and hold nothing back. lam
speaking as an individual, and yet I
am speaking also, of course, as the
responsible head of a great govern
ment, and I feel confident that 1 have
said what the people of the United
States would wish me to say. May I
not add that I hope and believe that
I am in effect speaking for liberals
and friends of humanity in every na
tion and of every program of liberty?
1 would fain believe that I am speak
ing for the silent mass of mankind
everywhere who have as yet had no
place or opportunity to speak their
real hearts out concerning the death
and ruin they see to have come already
upon the persons and the homes they
hold most dear.
"And in holding out tho expecta
tion that the people and government
of the United States will join the other
JANUARY 22, 1917.
civilized nations of the world in guar
anteeing tlie permanence of peace
upon such terms as I have named I
speak with the greater boldness and
confidence because it is clear to every
man who can think that there is in
this promise no breach In either our
traditions or our policy as a nation,
but a fulfillment, rather, of all that
we have professed or striven for.
Doctrine of the World
"I am proposing, as it were, that
the nations should with one accord
adopt the doctrine of President Mon
roe as tho doctrine of the world: That
no nation should seek to extend its
policy over any other nation or peo
ple, but that every people should be
left free to determine its own policy,
its own way of development, unhin
dered, untlireatened, unafraid, the
little along with the great and pow
erful.
"I am proposing that all nations
henceforth avoid entangling alliance
which would draw them into compe
titions of power, catch them in a net
of intrigue and selfish rivalry, and
disturb their own affairs with in
fluences intruded from without. There
is no entangling alliance in a con
cert of power. When all unite to act
in the same sense and with the same
purpose all act In the common inter
est and are free to live their own
lives under a common protection.
American Principles
"I am proposing government by tli>i
consent of the governed; that freedom
of the seas which In international
conference after conference repre
sentatives of the United States hav<*
urged with the eloquence of those who
are the convinced disciples of liberty;
and that moderation of armaments
which makes of armies and navies a
power for order merely, not an instru
ment of aggression or of selfish vio
lence.
"These are American principles,
American policies. We can stand for
no others. They are also the principles
and policies of forward-looking men
and women everywhere, of every
modern nation, of every enlightened
community. They are tho principles
of mankind and must prevail."
No other President lias addressed
either branch of Congress separately
since Thomas Jefferson did in 1801.
In fact, no President addressed Con
gress in joint session since that time

tom In 1913.

and Adams frequently addressed tho
Senate and House alternately, but
