' On The Boards -1 One of the most Important theatrical announcements that has been made in some time, is that George V. Hobart's modern morality comedy drama, "Experience," comes to this city direct from its sensational success in San Francisco, where the play has broken all records for attendance. There are eighty-two noted players in the company and In the Golden Cabaret scene, there Is a large light opera chorus. The play is given in ten brilliant and spectacular scenes. "Experience" was one of the notable successes in the East and ran for nine months In New York, five months in Boston, seven months in Chicago and flvo months In Philadelphia. In all of these cities, as well as in San Francisco, the clergy attended in a body to see the play and gave it their absolute approval. The engagement of "Experience" at the Washington will be for two days and commences Monday night, February 18. 350 Fathers and Soms Will Attend Hi-Y Dinner Three hundred and fifty fathers and sons will attend the Hi-Y dinner at the Y.

Many tickets were sold in the Richmond churches Sunday. A father cannot attend without a son and a son cannot attend without a father. Previous to the dinner there will be an informal reception in the lobby. Dinner will be served at 6:45 o'clock. The wives, mothers and sisters of the guests may have seats in the balcony. The sisters of the boys will assist with the serving.

NEW CITY DIRECTORY Representatives of R. L. Polk and company, Indianapolis, were in Richmond Monday preparatory to making a new city directory. It has been two jears since a directory was published. Tbe Commercial club will co-operate v. Hh the work. PRESIDENT WILSON Continued From Page One.) of the military party with whom he seems constrained to keep on terms. Neither does he raise objection to a limitation of armaments. That matter will be settled of Itself, he thinks by the economic conditions which must follow the war. But the German colonies, he demands must be returned without debate. He will discuss with no one but the representatives of Russia, what disposition shall be made of the people and the lands of the Baltic provinces; with no one but the government of France the "conditions" under which French territory shall be evacuated; and only with Austria what shall be done with Poland. Agreement Reached by Barter. In the determination cf all questions affecting the Balkan states, he refers as I understand him. tn Aus tria and Turkey: and with rpenrd tn the agreement to be entered Into con cerning tne non-Turkish peoples of the present Ottoman empire, to the Turkish authorities themselves. After a settlement all around affected in this fashion.-bv individual hartr anil rr,Ti. cession, he would have no objection, if I correctly interpret his statement

to a league of nations whieh would undertake to hold tbe new balanee of power steady against external disturbance. It must be evident to every one who understands What this war" has wrought in the opinion and temper of the world, that no general peace, no peace worthy of infinite sacrifices of these years of tragical suffering can possibly be arrived at in any such fashion. The method which the German chancellor proposes is the method of the Congress of Vienna. Psace of World Is at Stake. "What is at stake now is the peace of the world. What we are striving for Is a new international order based on broad and universal principles of right and justice no mere peace of shreds and patches. Is it possible that Count von Hertling does not see that, does not grasp it, is in fact living in his thought in a world dead and gone? Has he utterly forgotten the Reichstag resolution of the nineteenth of July or does he deliberately ignore them? They spoke of the conditions:

of a general peace, not of national aggrandizement, or of arrangements between state and state. , The peace of the world depends upon the just settlement of each of the several problems to which I adverted in my recent address to the congress. I of course, do not mean that the peace of the world depends upon the acceptance of any particular set of suggestions as to the way in which those problems are to be dealt with. I mean only that those problems, each and all, affect the whole world, that unless they are dealt with in a spirit of unselfishness and unbiased justice, with a view to the wishes, the natural connections, the racial aspirations, the security and peace and mind of the peoples involved, no permanent peace will have been attained. Cannot Be Discussed Privately They cannot be discussed separately or In corners. None of them consti tutes a private or separate interest from which the opinion of the world may be shut out. Whatever affects the peace affects mankind, and nothing settled by military force, if settled wrong, is settled at all. It will presently have to be re-opened., Is Count "Von Hertling not aware .that he is speaking in the court of mankind, that all the awakened nations of the world now sit in judgment on whatever public men of whatever nation, may say on the issues of a conflict which has spread to every region of the world? The Peoples Have Rights The Reichstag resolutions of July themselves frankly accepted the decisions of that court. There shall be no annexations, no contributions, no puntitive damages. Peoples are not to be handed about from one sovereignty to another by an international conference, or an understanding between rivals and antagonists. National aspirations must be respected; peoples may now be dominated and governed only by their own con It seems as though every woman in Richmond is attending this mark-down 1SALE

sent; ''fielf determination" Is not a mere phrase. It is an imperative action Which statesmen will henceforth ignore at their peril. We cannot have general peace for the asking or by the mere arrangements of a peace conference. It cannot be pieced together out of individual understanding between powerful states. All the parties to this war must join in the settlement of every issue any where iuvilved In it, because what we' are seeking is a peace that we can all unite to guarantee and maintain, and every item must be submitted to the common judgment whether it be right ond fair, an act of justice rather than a bargain between sovereigns. Disdain Subduing Nations. The United States has no desire to Interfere in European affairs or to act ah arbiter In European territorial dis-i

putes. We would disdain to take advantage of any internal weakness or disorder to impose our own will upon another people. She is quite ready to be shown that the settlements she has suggested are not the best or the most enduring. They are only her provisional sketch of principles and of the way in which they should be applied. But she entered this war because she was made a partner whether she would or not in the sufferings and indignities inflicted by the military masters of Germany against the peace and security of mankind; and the conditions or peace will touch here as nearly as thev will touch any other nation to which Is entrusted a leading part in the maintenance of civilization. She can not see her way to peace until the causes of this war are removed, its renewal rendered as nearly as may impossible. Small Nations Suffered. This war had its roots in the disregard of the rights of small nations and of nationalities which lacked the union and the force to maKe good their claims to determine their own allegiances and their own forms of political life. Covenants must now be entered" into which will render such things impossible for the future and those covenants must be backed by the united force of all the nations that love justice, and are willing to maintain it at any cost. If territorial . settlement and the political relations of great populations which have not the organized power to resist, are to be determined by the contracts of the powerful governments which consider themselves most directly affected, as Count von Hertling proposes, why may not economic questions also? Economic Problem Important. It has come about in the altered world, in which we now find ourselves that justice and the rights of peoples affect the whole field of International dealing as much as access to raw materials and fair and equal conditions of trade. Count von Hertling wants the essential basis of commercial and industrial life to be safeguarded by common agreement and guarantee but Lace Edged Marquisettes, 36 in. wide, beautifully mercerized with linen lace edging.

he can not expect that to be conceded bim, if the other matters to be determined by the articles of peace, are not handled in tbe same way as items in the final accounting. " He cannot ask the benefit of common agreement in the one field without according it in the other. I take it for granted that he sees that selfish compacts with regard to trade and the essential' materials of manufacture would afford no foundation for peace. Neither, he may rest assured, will separate and eelfish compacts with regard to provinces and peoples. Czernln's View. Count Czernin seems to see the fundamental elements of peace with clear eyes and does not seek to obscure them. He sees that an independent Poland made up of all indisputably Polish peoples who lie contiguous to one another Is a matter of

European concern, and it must of course be conceded that Belgium must be evacuated and restored, no matter what sacrifices and concessions that may Involve; and that national aspirations must be satisfied, even within his own empire, in the common interest of Europe and mankind. If he is silent about questions which touch the interest and purpose of his allies more nearly than they touch those of Austria only, it must of course be because he feels constrained, I suppose, to defer to Germany and Turkey in the circumstances. Austria Fears Germany. Seeing and conceding as he does, the essential principles involved and the necessity of candidly applying them, he naturally feels that Austria can respond to the purpose of peace, as expressed by the United States with less embarrassment than could Germany. He would probably have gone much farther had it, not been for the embarrassment of Austria's alliances and of her dependence upon Germany. The Principles that Apply. After all, the test of whether It Is possible for either government to go any further in this comparison of views, is simple and obvious. The principles to be applied are these: 1. That each part of tbe final settlement must be based upon the essential justice of that particular case and upon such adjustments as are most likely to bring a peace that will be permanent. 2. That peoples and provinces are not to be bartered about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were mere chattels and pawns in a game, even the greater game, now forever discredited of the balance of power; but that: ! 3. Every territorial settlement involved in this war must be made in j the Interest and for the benefit of j the populations concerned and not as a part or any mere adjustments or compromise of claims amongst rival states; and 4. That all well defined national WHERE ALL THE CARS STOP

aspirations shall be accorded the utmost .satisfaction that can be accorded them without introducing new or perpetuating old elements of discord and antagonism that would be likely in time to break the peace of Europe arid consequently for the world. These Are the Peace Terms A general peace erected upon such foundations can be discussed. Until such a peace can be secured, we have no choice but to go on. So far as we can judge the principles that we regard as fundamental are already everywhere accepted as Imperative except among the spokesmen of the mil

itary and annexationist party in Germany. If they had any where else been rejected, the objectors have not been sufficiently numerous or influential to make their voices audible. The tragical circumstance is that this one party in Germany is apparently willing and able to send millions of men to their deaths to prevent what all the world now sees to bo just I would not be a true spokesman of the people of the United States if I did not say once more that, we entered this war upon no small occasion and that we can never turn 'back from a course chosen upon principle.

tion from the threat and attempt of mastery of selfish groups of autocratic rulers.

Ao Will Mat T..wr Dirl. Whatever the difficulties and present partial delays, we are indominable in our power of independent action, and can in no circumstance consent to live in a world governed by intrigue and force. We believe that our own desire for a new international order, under which reason and Justice and the common interest of mankind shall prevail, is the desire of enlightened men everywhere. Without that new order, the world will be without peace, and human life will lack tolerable conditions of existence and development. Having set our hand to the task of achieving it, we shall not turn back. Our Program. I hope that it is not necessary for me to add that no word of what I hrve said is intended as a threat. That Is not the temper of our people. I have spoken theirs only that the whole world may know the true spirit cf America that men everywhere may know that our passion for justice and for self government is no mere passion of words but a passion which once set in action must be satisfied. The power of the United States is a menace to no nation or people. It will never be used in aggression or for the aggrandizement of any selfish interests of our own. It springs out of freedom and is for the service of freedom.
