GERMANS RIDICULE
WILSON'S PROTEST
Westphalian NewspaperDeclareS
Presidents Blockade Note Is
Merely a Petition.

Berlin via London), April 1.-The
Rhensh "Westfaelsche Zeitung," dis
cussing the American note concerning
Great Britain's blockade against Ger
many, says:
1T is a petition rather than a de-
mand. Il contains no clear rejection
of the British conception of an effec-
tive blockade OF the German borders,
and President Wilson fails to an
nounce his fundamental standpoint re-
garding Britain's measures. His fore
shadowing Of future prospects and
claims for indemnity amount only TO
confession Of present weakness.
Great Britain can derive from all this
verbal legerdemain the certainty that
in all cases whore American rights are
trod underfoot the President of the
great Republic will issue a new aca-
demic discussion, but there will be no
tangible deeds"

labor union members and others who
have opposed the measure, will urge
the Governor to veto it.
Senator Ogden /. Mills and the mi

No Chance for Deadlock.

This conflict should prove TO be the
most decisive struggle Of the campaign
so far. since it is impossible for II TO
end in an intrenched deadlock like the
battles i'm Poland and Flanders. Mill
tarv men here believe the result Will
be decided by the indomitable spirit
and physique Of the Russian infantry.

enough men TO hold the Russians IN

their movements in the western passes,

counter stroke from Bukowina. Their
present offensive in the latter district
is apparently for the purpose of COM
pelling the Russians 20 send reinforce

fore. their hope must again centre on
the Germans. who may force back the
Russians as they did when the invaders
had reached a point further within
Hungary than they have gained this
time. On that occasion an Austro-
German force attacked the Russian
flank i'm the country south Of Cracow,
and threatened its lines Of communi-
cation, quickly bringing about a re-
treat A similar movement might be
attempted now. but It's chance of sue
