ENTENTE ENJOYS ANGRY
Peel That Wilson Has Played Into
Germany's Hands.

WASHINGTON. Dec. :i.-The interpre-
tation which Secretary Lansing gave to-
Cay to the Presidents note to the belleg-
erents has not eradicated the feeling of
intense hostility TO the Presidents
action which Is felt IN Entente diplo-
matte circles here. II anything. the
feeling is move pronounced hat the in
Nuencc OF the United States as a factor
m any peace overtures has been UNDER
mined. The view is taken that the Pres
Sdent has offended deeply the Entente
cause, and hat the note will do more
than all else to retard the Initiation of
tuture peace o%vertures.
Entente diplomats say II Is impossible
70 regard the Presidents note In the
hight of anything but a plea for peace.
They note particularly that II makes
reference TO such matters as a league
TO enforce peace. and intimates that
Germany Endorses this idea as well as
the idea Of disarmament. Entente
epokesmen lay particular emphasis on
the fact that these ideas in the past few
days have been given the widest sort Of
publicity by count Won Bernstorff.
Grrnsan influence Alleged.
The German Ambassador 10 charged
with having deliberately sought to i'm
press President Wilson with this propa-
sanda for the purpose of getting him to
take the peace plunge" Now they say
he has succeeded.
The master hand Of the German Am
oassador is seen all through the Presi-
dents communication. according to cir
cles close to the Entente. 1t Is their
nrm conviction that had Count Won
Bernstorn not played his cards as he
lid the Presidents note never would
nave been sent. In tones Of sarcasm It
h stated that the German Amba ssador
should be open to congratulations. As
. matter of fact congratulations have
come TO the German Embassy to-day
from several sources.
The Ambassador is understood to have
taken up with the Berlin Foreign ONCE

force peace. a peace conference at The

lin rave the Ambassador wide latitude
and left much to his own initiative
Whether or not the President intended
the note to be n boom to the German
proposals. the fact remains that Il Is
universally regarded as such.
FeeIin8 OF Nesentnnent
Next to the suspicion caused in En-.
tente circles by the belief that President
Wilson has played directly into the
hands Of Germany there Is a feeling OF
resentment over the Presidents asking
the Entente to state what 1t is fighting
tor.
THAT has been stated thousands Of
times already" one diplomat said, III
President Wilson does not yet know
what we are fighting for. he knows les
