WILSON MESSAGE
DELAYED F 0 r
GERMAN PAPERS

Berlin, Dec S.-Via London, Dec. 8.
The German newspapers received no
direct reports on the opening of the
United States Congress and President
Wilson's message. The possibilities OF
securing IN independent news service
by wireless from the United States are
being utilized to the most insignificant
extent by the German press. The news
papers already supplied this afternoon
with a resume Of the message trans
mitted by way of London, but as yet
there has been no comment on Mr. Will
sons declarations regarding intrigue5
and conspiracies against American
neutrality.
The dispatches from London arrived
so late that only a few of the news
papers were able to print the bare tel
egram. Comment on the message, how
ever presumably will be restricted to
Il minimum as in the case of the con-
viction of the Hamburg American Line
officials in New York last week.
