"During weary months our soldiers have fought with stoic resolution in defense of the soil of their forbears and the land of their children. So vast was the field of battle. great was the issue at stake, so bitter and so hard was the struggle, that only after the passage of time did it seem possible that the grandeur of their accomplishment could clearly show forth. Yet your distance from the theater of war has allowed you to see while yet they lived the greatness of the monument they were building. "From the other side of the world you have cause we knew the manner in which they were perpetrated. "I beg that you will not suppose that because a wide ocean separated us in space we were not in effect eyewitnesses of the shameful ruin that was wrought and the cruel and unnecessary sufferings that were brought upon you. These sufferings have filled our hearts with indignation. We know what they were not only, but we know what they signified. and our hearts were touched to the quick by them, our imaginations filled with the whole picture of what France and Belgium in particular had experienced. "When the United States entered the war. therefore, they entered it not only because they were moved by a conviction that the purposes of the central empires were wrong and must be resisted by men everywhere who loved liberty and the right, but also because the illicit ambitions which they were entertaining and attempting to realize had led to the practices which shocked our hearts as much as they offended our principles. "Our resolution was formed because we knew how profoundly great principles of right were affected, but our hearts moved also with our resolution. "You have been exceedingly generous in what you have been gracious enough to say about me. generous far beyond my personal deserts, but you have interpreted with real insight the motives and resolution of the people of the United States. Whatever influence I exercise, whatever authority I speak with. I thought. I know what they have desired, and derive from them. I know what they have when I have spoken what I know was in their minds it has been delightful to see how the consciences and purposes of free men everywhere responded. spoken in advance of the judgment of history. What a source of strength was it for these fighters suddenly to hear your voice, in its distant authority resembling the voice of posterity; what joy to welcome those new brothers in arms hastening with ardor to claim at the critical hour their place upon the field of battle; what comfort for them to feel that they were henceforth arrayed with the glorious army of Gen. Pershing, the victor of here, not merely by the delightful warmth of the Argonne!" Address by Prefect of the Seine. M. Autrand, prefect of the Seine, said in part: "Mr. President, a day memorable beyond all is that on which for the first time a chief of the great American republic crosses the threshold of our hotel de ville. "How many things seemed to hold you apart from the dreadful conflict! Your intellectual training as lawyer, historian and thinker; that peaceful life of study in which, to use your own phrase, you had known no other laboratory than the world of books, the traditions of the country which had elected you to guide and direct it: the admirable farewell message of Washington warning his successors in power against any such participation as might break out in Europe. Well might Germany believe that you would remain the prisoner of these noble formule. But her lawless militarism, multiplving its crimes against the rights of man, was to force the nation pre-eminently pacifist to draw the sword from the scabbard. "When the measure of black deeds ran full you sounded the call to arms. And by the miracle of your burning speech, by the ascendancy of your indignant conscience and your sovereign philosophy you drew 100,000.COO of men to devote themselves, soul and body, to the triumph of liberty over tyranny and of justice over error and iniquity.” Mr. Wilson's Reply. Replying to the greetings extended to him the president said: "Your greeting has raised many emotions within me. It is with no ordinary sympathy that the people of the United States, for whom I have the privilege of speaking. have viewed the sufferings of the people of France. Many of our own people have been themselves witnesses of those sufferings. We were the more deeply moved by the wrongs of the war be "We have merely established our right to the full fellowship of those peoples here and throughout the world who reverence the right of genuine liberty and justice. "You have made us feel very much at home your welcome but also by the manner in which you have made me realize to the utmost the intimate community of thought and ideal which characterizes your people and the great nation which I have the honor for the time to represent. "Your welcome to Paris I shall always remember as one of the unique and inspiring experiences of my life, and while I feel that you are honoring the people of the United States in my person, I shall nevertheless carry away with me a very keen personal gratification in looking back upon these memorable days. "Permit me to thank you from a full heart." day ROUMANIAN CELEBRATION. Roumanian celebration of the greatest (Dec. 1) in the history of that country was recorded in a report from Jassy received by the state department Dec. 14, 1918. The king and queen re-entered Bukharest at the head of the Roumanian and allied armies, accompanied by Gen. Berthellot, the diplomatic corps, with the chief militatry and civil officers, who met the king and queen at the entrance to the city. The troops were reviewed by the royal and diplomatic party. There were thousands in the parade, and the enthusiasm 718 great. After the parade the king and queen, together with the royal family, diplomats and chief military and civil officers, attended divine service at the cathedral. a A banquet was given by the king_during the evening, with chief officers of the Roumanian and allied armies and the principal civil officers as the guests. The king. made speech, thanking the allies for their services to Roumania, expressing the gratification of his government that Roumania would be enlarged and that all the peoples of Roumanian race would at last come together. JUSTICE DEMANDED BY LLOYD GEORGE. David Lloyd George, the British prime ministe., outlined Britain's peace policies in an address at Newcastle. Nov. 29, 1918. It was not a program of vengeance or retribution, but of justice and prevention of a recurrence of the world disaster. The guilty must be punished and those to whom this punishment must be meted out were: Those responsible for the war. Those who took part in or ordered the submarine piracy. Those who were responsible for the mistreatment of the prisoners of war. Those who outraged international law and devastated the lands of another. Those who, while living as friends in England, plotted to aid the kaiser. Germany must make reparation to the full for the damage which was done to the invaded countries. This payment must be up to the limit of her capacities. Dealing with the question of the responsibility for the invasion of Belgium Mr. Lloyd George said the British government had consulted some of the greatest jurists of the king. dom and that they unanimously had arrived at the conclusion that in their judgment the former German emperor was guilty of an indictable offense for which he ought to be held responsible. In the discussion of the payment by Germany Mr. Lloyd George gave a hint of the possibility of the abandonment of free trade. for years the chief plank in the British trade relations. He announced that whatever happened Germany "must not be allowed to pay the indemnity by dumping cheap goods on us." Asked "What about free trade?" the premier added: "I am prepared to examine every problem. to cast aside any prejudices or preconceived ideas and examine them purely upon the facts as the war has revealed them to us." Mr. Lloyd George said the victory of the entente allies had been due to the ceaseless valor of their men and that it would be a lesson to anybody who in the future thought that they, as the Prussian war lords hoped, "could overlook this little island in their reckoning." "We are now approaching the peace conference," the premier continued. The price of victory is not vengeance nor retribution. It is prevention. First of all, what about those people whom we have received without question for years to our shores; to whom we gave equal rights with our own sons and daughters, and who abused that hospitality to betray the land, to plot against security, to spy upon it, and to gain such information as enabled the Prussian war lords to inflict not punishment but damage and injury on the land that had received them as guests? Never again!" Mr. Lloyd George said the interests of security and fair play demanded that it should be made perfectly clear that the people who acted in this way merited punishment for the damage they had inflicted. The second question was the question of indemnities, the premier added. In every court of justice throughout the world the party which lost has had to bear the cost of the litigation. When Germany defeated France she established the principle, and there was no doubt that the principle was the right one. Germany must pay the cost of the war up to the limit of her capacity. "But I must use one word of warning." Mr. Lloyd George added. "We have to consider the question of Germany's capacity. Whatever happens, Germany is not to be allowed to pay her indemnity by dumping cheap goods upon us. That is the only limit in principle we are laying down. She must not be allowed to pay for her wanton damage and devastation by dumping cheap goods and wrecking our industries. "There is a third and last point. Is no one to be made responsible for the war? Somebody has been responsible for a war that has taken the lives of millions of the best young men of Europe. Is not any one to be made responsible for that? If not, all I can say is that if that is the case there is one justice for the poor, wretched criminal and another for kings and emperors." Mr. Lloyd George declared that there were two offenses against the law of nations that had been committed. "One." he said. "is the crime against humanity in the deliberate plotting of the great tional law. war. The other is the outrage on internaIt is a crime, a brutal crime, to devastate the lands of another. Whoever did that ought to be responsible for it. "The submarine warfare did not mean only the sinking of ships but it was a crime against humanity in that it sank thousands of of warfare between nations that had never harmless merchantmen. In the whole history It is rank piracy and the been sanctioned. pirates must receive the punishment. "I mean to see that the men who did not treat our prisoners with humanity are to be made responsible. I want this country to go to court with a clean conscience, and she will do so. There is not a stain on her record. We will not be afraid to appear before any tribunal. "Now these are the things which we have to investigate. We mean that the investigation shall be an impartial one, a perfectly fair one. We also mean that it shall be a stern one, and that it shall go on to the final reckoning. "We have got so to act now that men in the future who feel tempted to follow the example of the rulers who plunged the world into this war will know what is awaiting them at the end of it. "We shall have to see that this terrible war. • which has inflicted so much destruction on the world: which has arrested the course of civilization and in many ways put it back; which has left marks on the minds, upon the physique, and the hearts of myriads in many lands that this generation will not see obliterated-we must see by the action we take now. just, fearless, and relentless, that it is a crime that shall never again be repeated in the history of the world." ITALIA IRREDENTA. [From official War Encyclopedia.] "Italia irredenta" means unredeemed Italy. After 1861, when the present kingdom of Italy was established, the papal states. Venetia, the district around Trieste, and the district around Trent were still-although inhabited mainly or in part by Italians-not parts of the kingdom. Venetia and the papal states were annexed in 1866 and 1870. This process of winning Italy from foreign control came to be called redeeming Italy, and after 1870 the term "Italia irredenta" was applied to Trieste and the Trentino. these being territories still "unredeemed." Popular secret societies, whose object was to advocate the winning back of unredeemed Italy, were formed shortly after the congress of Berlin (1878), from which the Italian representative returned with "clean" but empty hands. Advocates of this policy were called irredentists, and the policy itself was known as irredentism. Irredentism declined after Italy joined Austria and Germany in the triple alliance (1882). but has steadily gained in force since 1908, when Austria, backed by Germany, annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina without consulting Italy, and contrary to her interests and in violation of the treaty of Berlin (1878). MORE BERNSTORFF PROPAGANDA. In order that a complete file of the corre spondence on the subject might be published the department of state in Washington on Dec. 7. 1918, issued the following copies of telegrams relating to Count Bernstorff, the former German ambassador to the United States, and his activities in pro-German propaganda this country. The following telegrams are from Bernstorff, except where otherwise indicated: in Dispatch from Washington to Berlin Nov. 1. 1916: "As you will have learned from my previous reports, we have, since the Lusitania case, endeavored to wind up all the so-called German propaganda, and especially to get rid of all dubious individuals. I can now say with a good conscience that we are no longer compromised. Some of the old affairs still hang on, but are more or less settled, although they vill cause some further expenditure. "At the beginning of the war many things were undertaken by the Dernburg propaganda which would never have been undertaken if we could have seen that the war would be so long, because nothing can for long be kept secret in America. Since the Lusitania ase we have, strictly confined ourselves to such propaganda as cannot hurt us if it becomes known. The sole exception is, perhaps, the peace propaganda, which has cost the largest amount, but which also has been the most successful. "Latterly I have been using the Embargo association and some entirely reliable private intermediaries. I have also made use of the German University league, founded since the war. This has done its best to take the place of the German association, which has been of no use during the war on account of its management. The league has published under my collaboration an excellent collection of reports on the war, which will be of great service to our cause. The support which I have already given the league is entered in the first quarter's account for 1916, item No. 208. On the occasion of later installments to them I will refer to this report. "I ask that this may be sanctioned. "BERNSTORFF." English translation of a telegram from Bernstorff through Buenos Aires and Stockholm to the German foreign office, dated June 2. 1916: much one sided, a thing which absolutely must be avoided." English translation of a cipher dispatch from Bernstorff to the foreign office, dated Feb. 2, 1917: "A 61. The director of the press bureau. Dr. Fuhr, has been paid $20,000 from the embassy fund as advance for his press expenses. The press bureau will send in a statement as to the expenditure and the sum will be entered in the fourth quarter of the embassy accounts." A 62. In continuation of report A 349 of 24th August. 1915. "As your excellency is aware. I have used the intermediary of the New York representative of the Wolff Agency, Herr Klaessig, in order to send telegraphic reports to you. These telegrams intended for you are indicated by the fact that they do not begin by naming the day of the week. "In order that the reports shall not excite attention it has been necessary in many cases to disguise them in the form of press extracts or put into the mouth of members of congress when, in reality, they are not inindividual opinion, but as being views which. tended to be merely the expression of some in my opinion, are important for the direction of our foreign policy and for a proper comprehension of the local situation." English translation of a telegram from Berlin to Washington via Stockholm and Buenos Aires, dated Sept. 16, 1916: The reports of the Wolff bureau agent are rightly criticized by a part of the German press as one sided, as he has reported for some time nothing but indignation against English encroachment which nobody hero takes seriously. "As the matter will probably be taken up in the reichstag more unbiased reports seem to be urgently desirable. "Please advise Klaessig in this sense." English translation of a cipher letter from Bernstorff to the foreign office, Berlin, dated Oct. 27. 1916: "In the official accounts for the first and second quarter of 1916 will be found entries of payments to Mr. Theodore Elowe. As to this I have to report that this gentleman is of German origin, and married to a German lady. He offered us his services, as he founded a weekly paper in Washington, the National Courier. This offer came at the time when we were deploring the death of Mr. John R. McLean. This latter had given nis newspaper an entirely anti-English char acter, so that his death left a great gap which the National Courier can unfortunately never hope to fill. The Washington Post has since been fairly neutral, but may be entirely lost to us if it cannot, as is very desirable, be put into the hands of Mr. Hearst. "No. 45 A, June 2. 1916. In conformity with your excellency's wish, I suggest that the present is a favorable time to get Hearst to send a first rate journalist to Berlin, The man selected. W. B. Hale, has been, as your excellency knows, since the beginning of the war a confidential agent of the embassy and as such he has been bound by contract until June 23. 1918. In making this arrangement the main idea was that Hale would be the most suitable man to start the reorganization of the news service after peace "As to the value of weekly papers in genon the right lines.

"It is particularly difficult in a hostile country to find suitable persons for help of this sort, and to this, as well as the Lusitania case, we may attribute the shipwreck of the German propaganda initiated by Herr Dernburg. Now that opinion is somewhat improved in our favor, and that we are no longer ostracized, we can take the work up again. As I have said before, our success depends entirely upon finding the suitable people.

LIBERATION OF BELGIUM. Scenes of enthusiasm marked the reoccupation of the whole of Belgium by King Albert and his troops from the time Bruges, Ostend and Ghent were freed as the result of heroic fighting by the Belgian armies and their allies until Brussels, Antwerp, Liege and the rest of the country was evacuated by the Germans. In each of the larger towns at the time of the entry of the king and his soldiers the inhabitants sought in every way imaginable to show their delight at the restoration of the old regime and their liberation from the hated enemy who had oppressed them for four years and more. The state entry into Antwerp was made on Nov. 20 and into Brussels on the 21st. On the occasion of his formal return to his capital King Albert received the following message from President Wilson: "The White House, Nov. 21, 1918.-His Majesty King Albert of Belgium, Brussels: At the moment that you re-enter Brussels at the head of your victorious army, may I not express the great joy that it gives to me and to the American people to hail your return to your capital, marking your final triumph in this war, which has cost your nation so much suffering but from which it will arise in new strength to a higher destiny. "WOODROW WILSON." Having been received enthusiastically by the inhabitants of his redeemed capital, King Albert made an the important speech from throne in parliament-his first utterance in the capital since almost the beginning of the war. Near the throne stood Gen. Pershing, representing the American army: Gen. Plummer of the British army, and other generals. chamber was filled with members, and in the galleries was the diplomatic corps. including Brand Whitlock, the American minister, who had returned to his post in Brussels. The One of the most vital points in the king's address dealt with the question of suffrage for "The Belgium. In this connection he said: government proposes to the chamber to lower, by patriotic agreement. the ancient barriers and to make the consultation of the nation a reality on the basis of equal suffrage for all men of the mature age required for the exercise of civil rights." This statement aroused a storm of applause from all of the members. Referring to the Flemish question, King Albert said: "The necessity of a fruitful union demands the sincere collaboration of all citizens of the same country without distinction of origin or language. In this domain of language the strictest equality and the most absolute justice will decide over the elaboration of projects which the government will submit to the national representatives. "A reciprocal respect for the interests of the Flemings and the Walloons ought to be an integral principle of the administration and should give to each the certainty of being understood when he speaks his own language and assure to him his full intellectual development, especially higher education." In regard to the future status of Belgium, he declared: "Belgium, victorious and freed from the neutrality that was imposed upon her by states which have been shattered to their foundation by war, will enjoy complete independence. Belgium, re-established in all its rights, will rule its destinies according to its aspirations and in full sovereignty." In speaking of the manner in which the war had been brought to a successful conclusion, King Albert referred with gratitude to the great efforts of all the entente countries and of the United States, "a new and stalwart ally which added the weight of her effort, so great and enthusiastic, to that of the other nations and caused our formidable adversary to totter." Near the close of his. address the king paid a further glowing tribute to the entente nations and made a striking reference to America, which, he declared, had saved Belgium from famine. The scene in the parliament chamber was impressive. Grouped about the throne as the king entered were Cardinal Mercier in his crimson robes, Burgomaster Max, Gen. Leman, the defender of Licge, and Prince Albert of Queen Great Britain. Elizabeth with the princess and princes had preceded the king to the throne. As King Albert entered he passed in front of Cardinal Mercier, Burgomaster Max and Gen. Leman, and shook each of them warmly by the hand. After the ceremonies in the chamber the king held an official reception to the diplomats and city officials at the city hall. Here Minister Whitlock had a touching meeting with Burgomaster Max. whom he had not seen since his arrest and deportation to Germany. The burgomaster was quite overcome with emotion. CHRISTMAS PACKAGES BY THE MILLION. Chief of Staff Gen. March said Dec. 14, 1918: "We have cleared up during the week the question of Christmas packages for France, The steamship Maui, with 20.000 sacks, and the Pocahontas, which sailed on the 8th with 12.000 sacks, completed a shipment of six ships, carrying 96.000 sacks, which contained 2.248.000 Christmas packages for our men in France, England and Italy. That will give a Christmas package to every over there and a surplus of some 200.000 packages, so that every single officer and man or person attached to the American expeditionary forces will get one package. This enormous shipment was handled by Gen. Hines in New York without the slightest delay, everything going very smoothly.' one ITALY'S WELCOME TO AMERICAN SOLDIERS. The American consul-general at Genoa informed the department of state that I Corriere Mercantile, published at Genoa, on June 27. 1918, contained the following in regard to the landing at Genoa of the first contingent of American troops: "The country of Columbus salutes to-day worthily the soldiers of free America. "To the sons of the powerful and glorious republic of the United States, who come to shed their blood for the holy cause of Italy and of civilization, goes forth our enthusiastic salute. "They bring us their arms and their young hearts; they bring us the ardently desired and efficacious aid of their land, from which irradiates upon the world such a resplendent light of civilization. Therefore their aid is so much the more precious; therefore it is so much the more rich in significance. "A cause which by force of its ideals has succeeded in drawing to itself the rid of so great a people cannot fail to triumph. "And we shall triumph! And we shall conquer! The gloom shall be dispersed by light. "Long live America! Long live Wilson! Long live the soldiers who disembark to-day upon the land of Columbus, of Mazzini, and of Garibaldi! "Civilization opposes its formidable mass against barbarity. "We shall triumph! We shall conquer! Arrival of the Troops. our "This morning a transport arrived in port having on board a fine and strong contingent of American troops. "We salute with enthusiasm and with admiration the soldiers of the glorious North American republic. "Their presence on our front will let the barbarous enemy know that all the civilized world is solid with us and with our most holy cause. "The solidarity of the United States with the entente brings to us not only an enormous economic and military aid but a moral approbation of which we are proud. "We invite the citizens to give a great and worthy reception to the troops over whose heads waves the star spangled banner. "They are the sons of Washington who come to fight beside the sons of Garibaldi. "It is a free people who come to fight beside a free people. "It is a people of men eminently practical and modern, who know how to rise to the loftiest and purest heights of idealism, who land to-day upon the sacred soil of Italy, and who will traverse the streets which saw pass the exalted and radiant figure of the greatest of our idealists-Giuseppe Mazzini. "All the glorious shades of our great ones will be to-day outstretched in our heaven toward the star spangled banner, which comes to unite itself with our tricolor. "This is a historic day. "We consider useless any words of incite ment. "Genoa will also to-day be great and will know how to show, in representation of the whole nation. how greatly the Italians appreciate the military, economic and moral aid offered to us by the great North American republic. "As soon as the transport had thrown her anchor in our port, the captaincy notified the civil and military authorities of the city, and soon the prefect, the mayor and the commanders of the army corps and the division went on board to visit the commander of the contingent of American troops. The Manifestoes. "Scarcely had the news of the arrival of the American contingent spread through the city when the following manifestoes were published: "Fellow Citizens: "The intrepid American soldiers land at this port to unite themselves to our victorious army on the fields where already our brothers of France and England attest the solidarity of the allies in the common fight for liberty and for justice. "Upon the soil of Italy, together with ours. the banner of the great republic will wave proudly and the love of the two peoples, already bound together by one and the same ideal, united in one and the same sacrifice, shall have, in glory, its solemn consecration. "To the sons of the generous land, bound to Genoa by the genius of Columbus, let us testify with emotion our feeling Let us so do that they may carry with them the remembrance of it as a viaticum of faith and auspice, and may they be able to say that they have felt in the first salute of Italy the throb of a people firm in its proposals, worthy of the new destinies which the valor of arms prepares for humanity. "From the municipal palace. June 27, 1918. ""THE MAYOR: E. MASSONE.' "'Genoese: "Our city, the proud mother of Christopher Columbus, who sailed toward the unknown with leonine courage and with the faith which is the animator of the great, will receive today the free sons of the distant land divined by him. "Across the centuries and across the seas the United States and Italy, bound together by one and the same cause, proclaim once more that liberty, when right does not suf fice to make it triumph, shall be saved and made sublime by the point of the sword. "The United States and Italy are at the apex of their history. "The star spangled banner and the fluttering tricolor shall rise up in victory or shall perish. "Citizens! To-day the spirit of the country is here. "Let us remember it. It is a great good fortune for Genoa to welcome, in the name of Italy, the American soldiers who will go also to our front to prepare the heroic days, uncancelable in the life of peoples. "The Federated Works of Assistance and National Propaganda.' "Hardly had the notice spread in the neighborhood of the port when a great crowd gradually gathered at Ponte dei Mille to salute the allied soldiers from over the sea. There was a continual waving of handkerchiefs, a warm crescendo of applause, of shouts, of acclamations of America. "The soldiers of the free republic from the deck of the ship replied with great enthusiasm to the first salute of the generous people shouting 'Viva l'Italia! Viva l'Intente!' and waving also their handkerchiefs and star spangled and tricolored banners. Gen. Garioni Salutes the American Troops in the Name of the Italian Army. "This morning on the arrival of the first contingent of the troops which North America is sending to Italy, Gen.
