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 with Poland.

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. DOUBLY PROVEN.
