Keeping Watchout For
‘ Those "Bright Ligths”
The police department, through Its
■pedal traffic officers, is going after
the “bright lights" violators. Many
complaints have been recently made
that there has been a gradually In
creasing laxity among autolsts in
regard to keeping this law—and
blinding lights by scores are seen on
the streets each night, to the jeopard
ixlng of- other drivers. Cases will
be made and offenders taken before
the recorder. The bright lights sec
t-on of the traffic ordinance is
follows:
'It shall be unlawful to operate
any automobile with a glaring head
light. All automobiles and such ve-
hides not equipped with dimmers
shall be required to frost the lens oi
such light so as to eliminate all glare
while traversing the streets or lanes
of the city of Athens."

Trouble Deciphering
Name* of Survivors
Washington, Feb. 11.—Only ten
us met were added to the roll of the
Tuscanla survivors toddy by dls-
r-atchvs to the war department.
While the list of those not reported
stands at 340, it la quite certain that
about 200 of them are safe. The. de
partment tonight Is trying to deci
pher a number of names cabled In
garbled form.
American Widow Weds
a Prince From Greece
London, Feb. 1L—Mrs. William B.
Leeds, a wealthy American widow,
and Prince Christopher, of Greece,
were quietly married In Swltzrland,
according to the Dally Sketch.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Feb. 11.—The presi
dent addressed congress today to
clear the atmosphere of the confus
ion resulting from the recent speech-
of the German chancellor and
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister
aud to reiterate that the United
States will continue to fight as it it
now Just beginning until military
masters in Germany are ready to
consider peace on the principles oi
justice.
Members of congress accepted the
rddress, not as a peace message, but
as notice to the Central Powers that
the United States cannot be turned
aside from the object for which It Is
fighting and a warning to congress
and tho American people that the
task of sending the nation’s fighting
n-ent to the front must not be inter-
ferred with by equivocal and mislead
ing utterance of Teutonic statesmen.
President Wilson spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress:
On the 8th of January I had the
honor of addressing you on the ob
jects of the war as our people con-
The prime minister of
Great Britain bad spoken in similar
terms on the 5th of January. To
these addresses the German chancel
lor replied on the 24th and Count
Czernln for Austria on the same day.
It Is gratifying to have our desire so
promptly realized that all exchanges
of views on this great matter should
bo made in the hearing of all the
world.
Count Czernln's reply, which Is di
rected chiefly to my own address on
the 8th of January, is uttered in
very friendly tone. He finds In my
statement a sufficiently encouraging
approach to the views of his own
government to justify him In believ
ing that It furnishes a basis for
more detailed discussion of purposes
by the two governments.
He Is represented to have Inti
mated that the view* be w*s
pressing had been communicated be
forehand and that I am sure he was
misunderstood. I had received
Intimation of what he intended to
cay. There was of course, no rea-
eon why be should communicate pri
vately with me. I am content to bo
one of his public audiences
Confined to Generalities.
Count Von Herting’s reply Is, I
must say. very vague and very con
tusing. It Is full of equivocal phrases
and leads it Is not clear where. But
it Is certainly In a very different tone
from that of Count Czernln, and ap
parently of an opposite purpose,
confirms, I am sorry to say, rather
tl.an removes, the unfortunate Im
pression made by what we had learn
ed of the conferences at Brest-Llt-
o.sk. His discussion and acceptan
of our general principles lead him to
no practical conclusions. He refuses
to apply them to substantive items
which must constitute the body of
any final settlement. He Is jealous
cf international action. He accepts,
he eays, the principles of public
diplomacy, but he appears to insist
that It be confined, at any rate In th!i
ciiso, to generalities and that the
several particular questions of terri
tory . and toverlgnty, the several
questions upon whose settlement
must depend the acceptance of peace
by the twenty-three states now en
gaged In the war, must be discussed
end settled, not in the general coun
sel, but severally by the nations
most immediately concerned by In
terest or neighborhood.
Must Return Colonies.
He agrees that the seas should be
f-ce, but looks askance at any lim
itation to that freedom by Interna
tional action In the Interest of com
mon order. He would without re
serve be glad to see economic bar
riers removed between nation and
nation, -for that could in no way Im
pede the ambitions of the military
party with whom he aeems con
strained to keep on terms. Neither
does he raise objection to a limita
tion of armaments. That matter will
be settled of itself, he thinks, by the
economic conditions which must fol
low the war. But the German colo
nies, he demands, must be returned
Itbout debate. He will discuss with
one but the representatives of
ussla what disposition shall be
made of the peoples and 'the lands
the Baltic provinces; with no ona
but the government of France the
conditions” under which French
territory ehall be evacuated; and
only with Austria what shall be done

national aspirations must be satis

the common Interest of Europe and
monklnd. If he is silent about ques
tions which touch the Interest and
purpose of his allies more nearly
than they touch those of Austria only,
It must, of course, bo because he
feels constrained, I suppose, to de
ter to Germany and Turkey In the cir
cumstances. Seeln-; and conceding,
as he does, the essential principles
Inrolved and the necessity or candid
ly applying them, be naturally feels
that Austria can respond to the pur
pose of peace as expressed by the
United States with less embarrass
ment than could Germany. He would
probably have gone much farther had
It not been for the embarrassments _ _ _
of Austria’s alliances and of her de- 1 DfOtuCrllOOdS v03r§6
pend euro upon Germany. J f , _ ja
After all the teat of whether It Is] S-HoUl* L3W S LVfldCU
tossible for either government to go I
any further in this comparison of I
views is simple and obvious. The I
principles to be applied are these:
First, that each part of the 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
alll be permanent;
separately or In corners.
Cannot B« Had for Asking.
None of them constitutes a private
or separate interest from which the
opinion of the world may be shu:
cut. Whatever affects the peace af
fects mankind^ and nothing settled
by military force, if settled wrong,
settled at all. It will presently have
to be reopened.
Is Count von Hertllng not aware
that he Is speaking In the court
mankind, that ull the awakened na
tlons- of the world now sit In judg
ment on what every public man,
whatever nation, may say on the
sues of a conflict which has spread
to every region of the world? The
reichstag resolutions of July them
selves frankly accepted the ’decisions
of that court. There shall be no an
nexations, no contributions, no puni
tive damages. Peoples are not to be
handed about from one sovereignty
to another by an International con
ference or an understanding between
rivals and antagonists. National as
pirations must be respected; peoples
may now be dominated and governed
only by their -own consent. “Self de
termination" is not a mere phrase.
It Is an imperative principle of ac
tion, which statesmen will hence
forth Ignore at their peril. We can
not have general peace for the'ask
ing, or by the mero arrangements of
peace conference.
All Must Join In Battlement.
It cannot be placed together out
of Individual understands, between
powerful states. All the parties to
this war must Join In the settlement
or every issue anywhere Involved in
because what we are seeking Is a
peace that we can all unite to guar
antee and maintain and every Item
of It must be submitted to the com
mon judgment whether It be right
and fair, an act of Justice, rather
than a bargain between sovereigns.
The United States has no deslro
to Interfere In European affairs or
to act as arbiter in European terri
torial disputes. She would disdain to
take advantage of any Internal weak
ness or disorder to impose her own
v-jll upon another people. She ii
quite ready to be shown that the set
Dements the has suggested are not
the best or the most enduring. They
are only her own provisional sketch
principles and of the way in which
they should be applied. But she en
tered this war because she was made
partner, whether she would or not,
the sufferings and indignities in
flicted by the military masters of
Germany, against the peace and se-
all questions affecting t e 'Balkan curity of mankind; and the condl-
states ho defers, as 1 understand him. tlons of peace will touch her as near-
tlon or people. It will never be used
In aggression or for the aggrandize
ment of any selfish interest of our
own. It springs-out of freedom and
It for the service of freedom.
