PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE ON PEACE.

•London, June 29.—A peace message from President Wilson to the Daily Mail and the Weekly Dispatch is printed this morning in the latter publication. It follows: “Many things crowd into the mind to be said about the peace treaty, but the thought that stands out infront of all others is that by the terms of the treaty, the greatest possible measure of compensation has been provided for peoples whose homes and lives were wrecked by the storm of war, and security has been given them that the storm shall not arise again. Insofar as we came together to insure these things, the work of the conference is finished, but in a larger sense its work begins today. In answer to an appeal, the league of nations (has been constituted and a covenant has been drawn which shows the way to international understanding land peace. “We stand at the cross-roads, however, and the way is only pointed out. Those who saw through the travail of the war the vision of h world made secure for mankind must now consecrate their lives to its realization.” < ’j;
