Washington, Jan. 14. President
Wilson's war aims of the United
States has been published in full by
the Berlin newspapers and by
papers in othrr northern cities of

garbled form and with such elimina
tions as to rob it of its full value.

publicity has been given to the ad
dress in almcst all capitals, espe
cial prominence being given, to it
in Chile, Peru and Argentina.
So far as reported to the depart

ments for the army by releasing a

men now doing civilian work in na
tional. and semi-national capacities at

ers virtually have 1 agreed to co

to carry out government control of

war measure and that urfdet the con
stitution appropriations for the sup
port of ' armies are limited to Uo
years. ,
"The question that fa'.es us is
whether congress conferred military
or civil powers on the secretary of
war," aid Senator Undeiwood. "1
think congress conferred military
powers on him." i
"If Director General McAdoo ' is
acting through the powers of the
secretary of war, hasn't the War de
partment the absolute right to con
trol the management of these roads
as it would a commissary train?"
asked the senator of G. V. Ander
son, member of the Interstate Com
merce commission.
'It would fall very little, if-any,
short of that," replied the commis
sioner. .
, "If these railroads were taken over
for military purposes, then it seems
to me that they were taken over
with the two-year limitation." Med

REDS TOO STRONG
TO BE TURNED OUT
i
British Ambassador to Russia
Says Bolsheviki Will Remain
in Power if Promises
Are Kept.
London, Jan. 14. Sir George Buch
anan, British ambassador to Russia,
in an interview at Stockholm with
a correspondent of Jhe Daily News,
says that the situation in Russia is
so uncertain that nobody can know on
one day what will happen on the next.
The Bolsheviki are in such a
strong position that no other party
at present is able to turn themj out.
He said the Bolsheviki will be the
ruling power as long as they are able
to keep their promises to the people.

Askl whether the entente allies
were likely to recognize the Bol
sheviki, Sir George replied that they
could not be recognized as represen
tative of whole Russia, their sup
porters being only in the north. South
Russia, he said, was going its own
way. The "Bolsheviki had summoned
the constituent assembly, but the real
rulers of the country would be the
councils of workmen's and soldiers'
delegates.

Minister Trotzky was working whole
heartedly for peace and at the same
time fighting the Germans with thejr
own weapons. , His propaganda in
the German arhi certainly had had
a certain amount of success, although
the Germans denied it.
Whatever happened, Sir George,
who is returning to London on leave
bccliTtse pf illness, said he was con
vinced that Russia's role as ar. active
participant in the war was ended.

American "Ambassador Delivers
New Year Salutations; Mes
sage of Friendship in
Wilson Peace Speech.
(By Associated Pr.)
IV.rograd, Sunday, Jan. 13. David
R. Francis, the American ambassador,
in greeting the Russian people on the
occasion of the Russian new year, has
issued a statement to the Russian
ess in which he says:
"The best greetings I can give the
Russian people from the American
people is President Wilson's message
to congress on January 8, (December
26 old style), which has been given in
full to the Russian press."
Freedom Is Jeopardized.
The ambassador says that the mes
sage expresses clearly the friendship
of An.erica for Russia, adding:
"The Russian people, however, can
not be too often reminded or too
deeply impressed by the fact that
their hard-earned freedom is jeop
ardized by negotiations for a separate
peace, nor that, if Germany dominates
Russia, their highly-prized liberty and
fruits of the revolution will be sac
rified." Same Peace Plan.
Ambassador Francis calls attention
to President Wilson's message to the
Amcricanscnate in January, 1917, say
ing that the peace outlined is "the
same peace Russia championed after
the revolution in March, the same
kind of peace that the Bolsheviki gov
ernment of Russia and the wearied,
but gallant, soldiers of this afflicted
country feel is now jeopardized by
Germany trickery."
The full text of President Wilson's
address to congress, which reached
Petrograd only Friday, already has
