JUSTICE, KEYNOTE OF THE
PRESIDENT’S FIRST ADDRESS
A. P. A. Service.
NEW YORK., Jan. 27.—Juatlce was
the kevnote of the first addresa of the
president delivered before the clerical
conference of the New York Federa
tion of Churches, representing all de
nominations, last night.
The executive, contrary to general
expectations did not enter Into any
langthy defense of the administration
defense program but confined his re
marks largely to the question of what
should be the attitude of the American
people toward alien lands and races.
He declured first of all that he be
lieved that his efforts for peace rep
resented the spirit of the people of
the United States. This potentially
mighty American nation, Is he declar
ed, in a position of the greatest dan
ger owing to the overwhelming
strength of Its neighbors and this dan
ger could not be obviated save by the
creation of a defense power fitted to
cope with all possibilities.
He said that he believed that the
people recognized this fatal weakness
| and in their hearts wanted to keep
the balance even In the Interest of
safety He then proceeded to deal i
with the contention of the antl-pre
paratlonlsts that preparedness Is an
Incentive to war by declaring that the
American people are too fair minded
and too much devoted to justice to
desire more than their Just right
'•America has always stood resolutely
and absolutely for the right of every
people to determine their own destiny
and their own affairs," he said, and
intimated that there was no reason to
believe that they would depart from
their traditional policy and Inclina
tion, regardless of circumstances.
The American people wanted peace,
he said, and it was hardly possible!
that they would change their view*
"I can And no basis for peace, but In
justice,” he said, “The greatest force
In this world Is character." he added,
"and I believe that character can be
expressed by the acts of a nation, and
s expressed by the attitude of It* peo
ple. *
A further foundation for peace Is
our internal attitude towards each
other. We have been hospitable to
all creeds and people, and this Is of
particular Importance as peace It*
America depends upon the attitude of
the peoples of the different race* and
creeds which make up the nation."
In conclusion the president declared
that he was himself alw-ays willing to
accept an Invitation to a light,
adding, but, 1 hope that I conduct my
Aghtlng with Justice and fairness”

fort and has been totally unable to
make more than an Indifferent Impres
sion on the defending lines.
All reports ure still heavily censored
and contain little or no detail of the
engagement beyond the buro statement
that the Germans have taken a few
trenches in the Artois section and
were later dispossessed by the allies.
Tho French and British have now
commenced a strong counter offen
sive and heavy cannonading Is going
on. according to Amsterdam dispatch

tremendous losses in their attempt to
gratify the kaiser on his birthday by
mushing the allied line, Is considered
certain. Berlin today is slgnfleantlv
silent ab to the western development*,
which l« accepted as a sign that tliej
