When President Wilson incidentally says that the German chancellor is speaking to the tribunal of the entire world, I must decline tills tribunal as prejudiced, joyfully as I would greet it if an impartial court of arbitration existed and gladly as I would to realize such ideals. Allies Terms Not in Accord. Unfortunately, however, there is no tiace of similar statements on the part of the leading powers of the entente. Englands war aims are still and she thoroughly imperialistic wants to impose on the world a peace according to Englands good pleasure.

It has been repeatedly said that we do not contemplate retaining Belgium, but that we must be safeguarded from the danger of a country, with which we desire after the war to live in peace and friendship, becoming the object or jumping-ofl- j ground of enemy machinations. If, therefore, a proposal came from the opposing side, for example, from the government in Havre, we should not adopt an antagonistic attitude, even though the discussion at first might only be unbinding. Small Step Toward Agreement. Meanwhile, I readily admit that President Wilsons message of February 11 constitutes perhaps a small step toward' a mutual approachment. HENEY MAKES GRAVE CHARGES.
