Wholesale denunciation OF proprie-

medical profession. It is no more true
that there are reputable physicians

than that there are standard remedies
which do as good a work. often where

GERMAN EDITOR
PRAISES WILSON
President Is Man of High Moral and
Spiritual Rank, Says Maxi
milan Harden.

BERLIN, Nov. 90 Macmillan
Harden, writing in Die Zukumft, eu-
logizes President Wilson as imam of
high moral and spiritual rank-a man
of whom we should be proud if we had
him Adding "much that is foolish
and unfortunately shameless has been
said about Mr.. Wilson and his election
is hailed as one no German may be-
little. -
The editorial writer, who quotes lib
orally from President Wilson IS books
to show from them his high character
and ideals, says regarding the presi-
dent s efforts in the direction of peace:
''This man so falsely regarded, so
foolishly DETAINED, looms up as no other
who is visible today
Harden urges the public to burn
ninety nine one huadredths of the Sit
eratuTe filed with rotten ignorance and
OBTAINING clean, talented man who al
ready is experienced in governing and
IS STRIVING with strong heart and an
earnest will for the maintenance of a
worthy peace, and then SAYS:
Not a word-maker or a threatener,
he has been chosen by the people of
the United States for these hours of
crisis ON earth -
The Rheinisehe Westfalische Zeitung,
one OF the most pronounced Chauvinist
newspapers in Germany ridieuled
President Wilson S reported peace pro-
pesals as general conference under
the auspices of Great Britain and the
United States for cheating Germany of
all the fruits of this unheard-of war.
The paper adds:
Even the most simple German must
begin TO see what we have to expect
from peace negotiation by England s
pirate business manager beyond the
ocean. -
The Hamburger Nachrichten, which
is only shade less Chauvinistic than
the Rheinische Westfalische Zeitung
writes in similar strain. It SAYS:
President Wilson already has done sc
much for Great Britain that only one
thing remains, namely to secure such
a peace as England needs, rob Ger
many of all the fruits of her victories
and leave her iinpotent and placed un
der guardianship.
The newspaper further inSinuatee
that President Wilson was elected al
the present moment because of an Sin
ereasing grain famine in England
which must lead TO her inevitable de
feat if Germany draws the fight Il
a conclusion and remembers her owr
resources. 3" The article concludes:
