PARIS, Jan. 19. president Poln
care has received Edward Marshall,
an American newspaper writer at
the Palace of the Elysee and talked
with him in regurd to President Wil
son's note and the reply of the entente
allies. The crux of thetintervlew lap
pears in these words of the president:
'"We are condemned to continue
the war until we our gallant ali:es
and ourselves can obtain the Repara
tions and guarantees rendered indis
pensable by the aggressions of which
we have subjected ourselves and by
the losses which we have suffered.
"May I tell America that France is
our friend, even though we are not
fighting with her?" the American
visitor asked.
France Our Friend.
"The United States of America and
France are. closely united by inef
faceable common recollections, by the
same political traditions, by the same
attachment to free institutions," said
President Poincare. "This war, which
Germany unloosed upon Europe and
which France did everything to a"oid
could not alter the good relations be
tween the United States and Prance. It
has even made them closer and
strengthened them.
"The United States," M. Poincare
continued thoughtfully, "have remain
ed neutral, but the sympathies of in
dividuals in every section have mani
fested themselves In favor of France
and her allies. We have been deeply
moved toy innumerable demonstra
tions of friendship.
"There never has been, a day since
soon after the beginning of the war
which I, have not personally received
from America a voluminous mail con
taining generous offerings for our In-
vaaea populations tor our war.wiaows
and , oqr war. orphans. . The letters
which accompany; .these? .tributes
emanate frpm all social classes and
often are expressed in- very moving
woras. -- others-letters bring to me
warm wishes for the victory .of
France.
Fighting for All Peopkr.
Tour great' country surely under
stands that we, the allies, are fight
ing not only for our own Independ
ence and our own national hohor but
for a much wider course, which goes
further than the boundaries of our
own interests. We ore fighting for
the rights of the Individual and for
the liberty of peoples.
The violation of Belgium brings
out the symbolical significance of this
whole war. Germany was not satis
fled with declaring war upon us with
out provocation. She had willed to
butcher us without warning and to
attain that end she trampled under
her feet In passing, a little, Innocent
people. There Is enough evidence by
Which to judge the responsibilities of
our enemies; It Is enough to define
the nature of the struggle in which
we are engaged. The United States

Before March 4.
MAKES ANOTHER TRIP
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. Members
of the senate steering committee to
day were earnestly nrged by President
Wilson to get into lively action on ad
ministration legislation measures so
that the entire program of reforms
advocated by the president when he
entered the white house might be on
the statute books by March 4.
To Impress upon the democratle
leaders his views the president made
another trip to the senate office, build
ing and discussed the clogged legisla
tive calendar with Senators Kern, Wil
liams, Thomas, Reed, James and
Chamberlain for more than two hours.
He made it clear that he was anxious
for action on railroad labor legisla
tion as the paramount issue, water
power and other conservation bills, a
eorrtxpt practice measure, the Webb,
collective foreign selling agency- meas
ure, and the rorto Klcan cltisenshiD I
bill together wiin tne big appropria
tion bills and necessary revenue legis
lation. -
As- there are less than thirty-six
legislative days remaining In the life
of the sixty-fourth congress, adminis
tration leaders are considerably per
turbed over the situation. "
Many senators expressed grave
doubt tonight that the program could
be but through because of opposition
to much of the legislation proposed.
