President Wilson told people in an address here Tuesday night, oil the eve of Ills return to Turin, that he wns going huek to the pence conference to buttle with renewed vigor for creutlou of a Washington. A bitter controversy between President Wilson and the senate over the league of nations and u filibuster by a few Republican senators seeking to force uu immediate extra session, marked the passing at noon on March 4 of the Sixty-fourtor great war congress. Culled in April, 1!)17, to throw America's weight into the conflict overseas, the congress held three momentous and historic sessions. Partisanship lay dormant during the war, but It broke forth In the last session to culminate In a final filibuster which successfully blocked passage of half of New YoTk. the American lengue of nation. "The first thJng I am going to tell the people un the other aide of the water la that an overwhelming major Ity of the American people Is In fuvor of the lengue of uutlons," said the president. Speaking after former President Taft had expounded the main features of the promised covenant of nations, Mr. Wilson told the vast audience, which filled the MetroHilitan Opera house, his opinion of opisinents of the lengue plan In America. Asserting thut the league of nutlons is "meant as a notice 'to all outlaw nations that the great peoples of the world will no longer tolerate International crimes, the president said that "Europe Is a bit sick at heurt at this very moment, because it Is seen tlint statesmen have had no vision, and that the only vision has been the vision of the people. "And I am amazed not alarmed, hut amused' tlint there should lie In some quarters such n comprehensive Ignorance of the state of the world," continued Mr. Wilson. "Those gentlemen do not know what the mind of men Is just now. Everybody else does. "I do not know where they have been closeted; I do know by what Influences they have been blinded; hut I do know that they have been sep arated from the general currents of the thought of mankind. "And I want to utter this solemn warning, not In the way of a threat; the forces of the world do not threaten; they operate. The great tides of the world do not give notice that they are going to rise and run; they rise In. their majesty and overwhelming might, and those who stand In the way are overwhelmed. Now the heart of the world Is awuke, and the heart of the world must he satisfied." ' America's soldiers, lie said, went overseas feeling they were sacredly hound to the realization of these ideas which their president had enunciated when the United States went Into the war. There Is another thing, the president suld, which critics of the league had not observed. "They not only have not observed the temper of the world, but they have not even observed the temper of those splendid boys In khaki that they sent across the seas, he asserted. Of George Washington's warning of entangling alliances. President Wilson said that "the thing that be bulged' for was Just what we are now about to supply an arrangement which will disentangle all the alliances of the h the fourteen regular appropriation bills. Including the $750,tNN),(iiio railroad administration revolving fund, and the huge army, navy and merchant marine budgets, . Although unsuccessful hi tUelr efforts to record the senate In fuvor of amendment of the constitution of the league of nations as now drawn, the Republican senators left In the record a resolution approved by thirty-ninof them opposing acceptance of the charter in Its present form.

President Wilson spent an hour at e two-third- the rnpltol before adjournment. loiter thnt, despite the death In the filibuster of the railroad and other Villa he would adhere to his refusal to call the new congress before his return from France, and criticised a group of men for their obstruction. As a result of the fillbus ter, which held the senate In continuous session for twenty-sihours, the president had little to do at the rnpltol except sign the $1,000, 000, XXH wheat guarantee bill and exchange s with members and friends. Because of the president's decision on the extra session, members who crowded trains felt assured that congress would not again assemble much before June 1. he formally announced x leave-taking- out-goin- g WILSON SAILS FOR FRANCE.

CONNOR ica could look forward with confidence to the future, for he had heard cheering news since he came to this side of the water about the progress that Is being made In Paris towards the discussion and clarification of a great many different matters and he believed settlements will begin to be made rather rapidly from this time on at those conferences. Declaring that while abroad he had "heard cries for tlie lengue of nations from the lips of people who had no particular notion of how It was to be done," the president said It was "Inconceivable that we should disappoint them, and we shall not." The president smiled broadly when Mr. Taft referred to the resolution Introduced In the senate by Senator Ixxlge, proposing rejection of tlie lengue of nations constitution as now drawn. the president insists, as I hope he will," said Mr. Taft, "thnt the lengue be Incorporated in the peace treaty, and brings It back, then the responsibility for postionlng peuce Is with the body thnt refuses to ratify ; acranc world."

The subject wus presented in two ne was from the specific reports. financial commission of which I.ouls Kills, French minister of finance, is clmlrinan, and Albert Straus and Norman Duvls are the American members. The other reMrt was from the economic commission of wdiich Albert (Temetitel of France Is chalrmun and Bernard M. Baruch. Vance McCormick and Dr. A. A. Davis are the American tliemhers. The financial commission's report was brief, giving the main headings of the vast financial reorganization that Is. required. It does not embrace reparations and indemnities for as those subjects are being con sklered separately. Most of the head lugs were presented without recone mendatlons which are left to the emm ell and the plenary conference. One of the main headings concerns war debts and debts made before the war In enemy countries, and whether they are to be paid or repudiated and, If paid, the manner and priority of payments. Another heading deals with state projierty In territory taken over, such as state mines and stute railways. Thus fur, the proposal to redlstril-ut- e the war burden bus not been considered fuvorably by the British, American or Japanese members. The British do not wish to add to their burdens by tuking part of the continental burdens, while Japan believes she should hold aloof from European in dchtedness. cm-ploj- es r, OVERSEAS TALK BY WIRELESS.
