He said: "Today the President of the Unit ed States asked the belligerents to make known their views as to the ob jects of the war. We eo not wish to judge his intentions. We only wish tq see that the neutrals are guided by concern for a right and just helping to obtain war light. Our enemies can no longer now keep making halting statements. They must speak out clearly. We do not fear that they can trouble the minds of the soldiers of the republic who to win back peace have covered their country with glory. Let our government make known to the whole world that the al lied people, that always wishful for jeace, never afraid of war, are reary to accept any solution iwhich having repaired the work of force shall or ganize the nations for the wotfi of salvation and free the development of humanity." In the lobbies the Prest.ent's note was the subject of all conversation among the deputies who without ex ception agreed in paying homage to the sentiment which inspired the President to take the step but ex pressed the unanimous opinion that his suggestion could not have the re sult he expected the establishment of lasting peace.
