 In Fatherland.

The Hague, July 25-'Anti-Wil- son, 50-page pamphlet by Eduard Sulesz dealing with the Presidents tTniquities,'" has just been received in Holland. The introduction compares the pamphlet with the "Anti-Macch- iaveP' of Frederick the Great, pub- 1ished in 159.
 "The anti-Wilson cry" says, "is today the expression of the feeling of a nation against man who men aces the German Empire. long enough"
 The first chapter is entitled .'The l Worlds Peace Phantom and Wilson as Peace Apostle"
 ''This sounds paradoxical," says the author ''It was the same Wilson | who a few weeks after his peace message played with the fire of war, hoping to ignite the whole neutral l world"

He ex- I presses fear that the President still
 has support in Germany, and that his peace propaganda may be revived.
 "In the next chapter, entitled sFoun- ldations of a Lasting Peace he says Ithat President Wilson is not the first prophet of such a peace, although he pretends to be, and that many writers E anticipated the Wilson program of ! equal, rights for all nations, equal privileges for all individuals, the sup ] pression Of military force, 8Oc.

 essay On Perpetual Peace which was published in 1795, had the same pr1n- lcipal ideas of peace plans as President ] Wilson, more than hundred years , ago. Kant also demanded a peace
