Gus work people for the good re-
suits you have obtained, and that

families in Belgium, and ct the same

what is needed for their support"

taken care Of are those of disabled

Another youth Of i years. who

one old woman came with a most
dilapidated old coat pinned together
tightly. and with the remains OF
what had formerly been a pair of
shoes still hanging TO her feet. There
was no trouble in fitting her out
with clothes-but the shoes, She
tried on dozens OF pair of women's
shoes without even a near fit. until

BERLIN PAPERS
ANSWER WILSON
Believe President Has MiSCOn-
CeptiOn About GermanyS
Assurances.

BERLIN (via Lond0n). Feb. 2b.-
Commenting on Pres't Wilson's let
Ter 20 Sen stone. the Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung says,
The principles laid down IN the
German memorandum by Germany
do not conflict with international law
for the secret orders 20 the British
navy contained in the memorandum
expressly instruct armed merchant
men not only TO defend themselves
but also 10 proceed aggressively.
When Pres't Wilson asserts that
the measures announced against
armed enemy merchantmen contra
dict assurances expressly given by
Germany and Austria. his words evil
IDENTIFY are based upon a miscOncep-
ton. due TO the fact that the memo
randum and the material which ac-
companies IL are not yet i'm the
hands OF the American government"
Doubt Correctness.
Germany doubts the correctness of
the version OF Prest Wilson's letter
which has been cabled here because
"the Letter finds ostensible conflict
between Germany's assurances to
Washington and Germany's memoir
andum. whereas it contains no word
about the dishonesty Of the British
in solemnly assuring America that
merchantmen were armed solely FOR
defensive purposes while they have
issued secret instructions always to
attack our submarines.
us this fact which now has been
denied or doubted. matter of indif-
ference 20 American honor, strong
~ emphasized? In that case we
must really doubt the sincerity Of
these repeated assertions of Ameri-
cas- love for peace. We can and
must expect OF the United States
that il will weigh carefully. without
prejudice, a new factor brought into
questions Of international law by
England in transcending 10 the de-
fensive character of armament. If
Washington will do that the govern
ment can reach in our judgment no
other conclusion than we have
reached"
The Lokaf Anzieger also believes
the presidents position is due to tho
fact that he has not yet read fully
the German memorandum.
The Taglische Rundschau says the
possibility that Pres't Wilson may
recognize that he made a mistake
about his facts. offers him one final
but narrow line of retreat from his
"brusquely aggressive position"
