PEACE TERMS
OF NATIONS
ARE SIMILIAR
—
lly comparing tin* peace terms out
lined by the different countries, it wili
he seen that they agree in many res-|
pects. The program by Bresident
Wilson is the most comprehensive
ever placed before the world for an
enduring peace. No other message*
was ever so widely commented on,|
and no such generous praise was even
before accorded any public utterance, i
the one exception being from the (Irr-;
man press. Even from that quarter,
there has been a guarded not of ad
mission of the greatness of the pro-j
gram, from certain papers. The peace
programs of the several countries fol-j
low:
I nited States
1st—Open peace covenants without
private international understandings.
2nd—Freedom of the seas.
2rd.—Removal of economical bar-:
t iers and the establishment of equal,
trade conditions among the nation. '
associating themselves for the main-’
tenance ot peace.
4th—Reductions of national arma !
ments.
.»th—Adjustment of colonial claims
on th»* principle that the people con
cerned shall have equal weight with
the governments that have interests
in them.
(>th—Evacuation of Russia with op
portunities given the Russians for
l»olitieal development.
Tth—The evacuation of Belgium
without limiting its sovereignty.
Mh—Restoration of French terri-i
tory and reparation for Alsace-Lor*

!>th—Readjustment of Italy’s fron
tiers along lines of nationality.
10th—Greatest opportunity for aut-j
onomous development of the Austrians'
ami Hungarians.
llth—The evacuation of Rumania,i
Serbia, and Montenegro, with a guar
antee of the .Balkans* independence;!
access to the sea for Serbia.
12th—The Dardanelles to be open'
to all nations, with sovereignty for
Turkey.
12th—Independence of Boland with
access to the sea.
14th—General association of na
tions under a guarantee of political
independence and territorial integritj
to all alike. ,
Entente Peace Terms
1st—The sanctity of a treaty must
be re-established.
2nd—There must be territorial set*'
tlements based on the consent of those 1
governed.
:ird—There must he created some!
international organization to limit the!
burden of armaments and diminish
the probability of war.
Lloyd George then said the Alliei
also were fighting for the following-j
One—Complete restoration of Bel-1
gium. Serbia, Montenegro and occu
pied parts of France and Italy
Two—Reparation as far as possible1
for devastated towns and cities.
Three—Neutralisation and interna* j
tionalization of the Dardanelles.
Four—“Reconsideration" of thei
“great wrong” done to France in 1871
(Referring to Alsace-Lorraine).
Five—Establishment of an indepen

ly Polish elements, because this is
necessary to the stability of Western
Europe."
t>ix—Arabia, Armenia, Mesopota
mia. Syria. Palestine—all entitled to
separate national conditions.
Seven Of Russia the British states
man f*ft the future to decision of the
Russian people themselves.
Eighth - inhabitants of African col
onies to be “placed under an admin
istration acceptable to themselves for
the purpose of preventing exploita
tion for the benefit of European cap
italists and of European Governments.
Lloyd George denied that the En
tente aimed at:
Destruction or disruption of Ger
many.
Dismemberment of Austria-Hunga
ry or Turkey.
To alter or destroy the imperial \
constitution of Germany.
To take away Turkey’s lands that
are predominantly Turkish or her!
capital.
Teuton Peace Penns
Stripped of its diplomatic phrase-,
ology Count Cdernin’s speech at Brest)
Eitovsk means:
That the Central Powers will make
;:o restoration or concessions whatso-|
ever until and unless all belligerentsi
subscribe to the principle of “no for
cible annexations or indemnities/’
That the Central Powers hope thus
t., draw Russia entirely to their side
li\* branding allied continuation of
war a.> aimed at conquest.
That- in the hypothetical case of!
the Allies joining the peace negotia
tions on the basis of the above prin
ciple—Germany is willing:
1— To evacuate all occupied terri
tories.
2— To restore Belgium. Serbia,
Montenegro and Rumania to political
independence.
—That Germany insists upon thoj
return of her colonies and opposes
Lloyd George’s plan to make the|
wishes ;,ed of the populations the |
dominant factor in the decision ofj
their late.
rhat Germany refuses:
1— lo res to i c Alsace-Lorraine.
2— To restore Russian Poland.
That Austria-Hungary refuses:
1— To restore “Italia Irredenta.’’
2— To restore Hungary, Bohemia
and other formerly independent na
tiona’itie^ in the Hapsburg empire.
The Teutons offer virtually is an
invitation to all Powers to return to
the “status quo ante bellum."
Sla\ Bolshevik i Terms
1—The evacuation of all Russian
territory occupied by Germany and
autonomy for Poland and the Lithu
anian and Lettish provinces.
2 Autonomy for Turkish Armenia.
:i -Settlement of the question of
Alsace-Lorraine by plebiscite, with a
guarantee of perfect freedom of vote.
4— The restoration of Belgium and
indemnity for damages to be provid-!
rd by an international financial fund.j
5— The restoration of Serbia and I
Montenegro, with indemnity for dam
ages to be taken out of a similar fund.j
Serbia, moreover, to have access to
the Adriatic; Bosnia and Herzigovina
to have complete autonomy.
6— Other contested territory in the!
)>alkanfc to enjoy temporary auto-,
nomy until a plebiscite is taken.
7— Rumania to recover all territory j
promising to grant autonomy to the
Dobrudia and to give effect to Arti
cle III of the Berlin convention con-i
cerning the equality of the rights of
Jews.
8— Autonomy for the regions of
Trent and Triest, inhabited by Ital
ian populations, until a plebiscite is
J
laKcn.
1) Germany to receive back her
colonies.
10— -Restoration of Persia and
Greece*.
11— Naturalization of all maritime
.-traits leading to inland seas, includ
ing the canals of Suez and Panama;
freedom of all charters during war
time of enemy ships, and the torpe
doing of commercial ships on the high
seas will lx* forbidden by internation
al agreement.
12— All belligerents to renounce
war indemnities under any form or
disguise whatsoever! and all contri
butions exacted since the beginning
of the war to be* refunded.
i—A11 belligerents to renounce de
finitely any commercial boycott after
the war or the institution of special'
customs agreements.
14—Peace conditions to be settled
by a peace congress, composed of del
egates chosen by national lepcesen
lative bodies, diplomats to bind them
selves to sign no secret treaties,
which are to be declared by their very
nature null and void.
1.)—Gradual disarmament on land
and sea and the re-establishment ol
mi'ivia to replace standing armies.
There are clauses in this proposal
to which Great Britain, France and
the United States wojld object, but
tiny could be rcwdiMfd, if there was
any reason to believe ihe offer was a
bono-lide one or that Geimany could
l>e depended upon to accept it and live
up to it. The woild has suffered too
much in this war to have it end in a
. .akeshift peace.

FATHER WANTS HIS SON
“I have a boy somewhere in Alas
ka that 1 haven’t heard from in eight
years, and that l haven’t seen in 17’
or 18 years. My wife and I are grow-,
ing old and feeble and she worries'
about him a great deal.”
It’s part of the many letters which,
flood into newspaper offices in Alas
ka—the story of a home darkened by
the absence of a beloved son. The*
police and other officials of all Alas
kan towns constantly have appeals to.
“help find my boy.”
This inquiry is for Claud M. Wag
ner, |vho is described by his father,
George W. Wagner, of 1424 Nine
teenth street, Bakersfield, Cal., as be
ing “six feet tail, weight about 170
pounds, is dark and has a scar just
under the edge of his hair; about “1
years ohfc’” Can anyone send the an
xious mother news of her boy?

LIFT GIVEN MINSTRELS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. — Direc-I
tor-Genoral McAdoo today went to1
the afd of a minstrel show stalled in |
its private car at Wheeling, W. Va.,j
under the War Board’s former order!
forbidding railroads to haul private j
passenger cars in interstate commerce. •
After hearing the plea of the head of
the show that his car held 51 people,!
more than the ordinary Pullman, and
was not a luxurious coach, such as
the War Board’s order was intended
to hit, the Director-General ordered
the car attached to a'train which put
it into East Liverpool, 0., in time to
fill an engagement.
