Berlin Papers
mment on
Wilson, s Speech
(By Review Leased Wire)

AMSTERDAM. Dec. S.-The Berlin
Vossische Zeitung in an editorial on
President Wilson's message to con-
gress says:
The message is an essential part
of a big action Initiated by America.
evidently with the understanding OF
her allies. to disturb the negotiations
between the central powers and Rus
sia. Regarding the latter. we may
recall the announcement concerning
the alleged imminent declaration of
war made by America against Aus
tria-Hungary, which evidently aims TO
divert Austria-Hungary from solidari-
ty with Germany"
The Taeglische Rundschau says:
WILSON'S phrases will not shake US,
neither will our enemies desire to
bleed to death when Wilson considers
the time has come 10 establish his
world rue of just you"
The Tageblatt declares:
1T is not to be denied that the
intransigent America war will tend in
definitely to prolong the war 1t goes
without saying that entire Germany
is united against the eXtravgance that
speaks in Wilson's new proclama-
ton"
The Lokal AnZeiger of Berlin says:
In view of the latest publication
of secret documents, his abuse of Ger
many and talk about our unscrupu-
lcusness may be termed doubly
shameless. The extraordinary en-
thusiasm with which these utterances
of Wilson have been applauded in
England is, however, all the more
easily comprehensive"

tBy Review Leased Wire.)

Military interest centers at present
on the Italian front, where the central
powers are declared in Rome dis
patches to be developing their maxi
mum military efforts of the war.
The terrific struggle still finds its
focal point on the Asiago plateau,
where Field Marshal Conrad Won
Hoetzendorfs army, reinforced 10
great strength, is trying to force the
passes which lead TO the Italian plains.
His troops so far in the fighting have
captured some 1900 Italians, accord
ing to the German reports and have
succeeded in pushing some distance
into the Italian defensive positions.
The bravery of the Italian troops
who have sacrificed themselves in
large numbers in blocking the enemy
advance, has kept the holding line in
tact, however, as it receded. Even the
heaviest enemy masses thrown against
the defenses seemingly regardless of
losses, have not sufficed to effect
break in the chain of strong positions
in which the Italians are now Contin-
uing their stand.
Cambrai Sector Quiet
There has been little fighting in the
last "a hours in the other theaters of
war. The Cambria area, in which the
lire has shifted rapidly as the British
and German armies swung back and
tor.h over it In the last few weeks, is
witnessing let up in the intensity of

gotiations. These have been suspend
ed seven days, according TO adyices
from Petrograd, so that the allies may
nave opportunity to express their at
titude toward the parleying.
Russia Is Tempestuous
Within Russia, where the Bolsheviki
are still in control of the reins of gov
eminent, there are rumOrs of internal
developments of potential importance.
One such is to the effect that former
Emperor Nicholas has succeeded in ef
fecting his escape. Little has develop
ed as to what action the moderate
forces of the nation may be conrem-
plating in combating the Bolsheviki
measures, one of which is reported TO
be the impending reputation of all of
Russia's foreign loans.

Alien Enemy Act
May Be Modified
For Austridns
(By Review Leased Wire.J

WASHINGTON. Dec g. -- Sugges-
tions that regulations governing alien
enemies within the United States be
applied with less severity To the many
thousand Austrian subjects who ac-
ually are proally or are even in the
American army were considered to-
dag by department of justice officials.
II was said the regulations. which
will be issued next week. nav provide
exemptions Tor certain groups. such
as Hungariang, Poles. Rumanians and
Slavs who migrated from Austria's
heterogeneous empire and who now
maintain hGtle love for their mothe-
country.
Has Difficult Task
Officials realized. however, that it
will not be an easy task TO arrange
notifications of the general rules
without impairing the effectiveness of
the nlan which includes cegiaJration
of alien enemies with police authori-
ties, restricting their travel and bar
ring them from water fronts. They be
lieve that a large element o: discrim-
iEation must be vested in local pOlice,
particularly in communities where a
big proportions of the population is
foreign.
Make Many Arrests
It is estimated about 100000 un-
Austrian subjects and
SOC. .OG0 Germans reside in the United
States.
The department Of justice tonight
received few reports of arrests OF
Austrians. following the declaration
of war. and il was indicated there
would be many more next week. In
some cases Germans suspected of
plotting against the United States
have represented themselves as Aus
trians. and consequently could not
well be arrested without proof of
guilt. Now that the nation is at war
with Austria these may be rounded
up and interned as suspected alien
enemies.
Many Are Affected.
Figures compiled by the department |
of labor and made public tonight |
show that probably 100000 mechanics |
and other workers in war industries
will be withdrawn when the regula- |
tions against Austrians are put into |
effect.
Accompanying the figures is an ap- |
peal for Americans engaged in peace |
time industries TO enlist in the public
servioe reserve cnd agree TO accept /
positions in industries necessary to I
the prosecution of the war, providing 4
wages and conditions suit them. !

Engineer Pupils
May Be Exempt
From Army Gail
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-Engineer-
in% students in schools recognized by
the war department were granted vir-
tual exemption from the selectiye
draft today under certain prescribed
conditions. The action resulted from
conference between Secretary Bak-
er. Proves. Marshal General Crowder
and officials of engineering societies
The students are viewed as military
assets of the future and are sranted
preferred classification. as are medical
students in certain cases, so they may
complete their courses. They revert
automatically to their former classifi-
cation a graduation and may be called
out Immediately as enlisted men of the
engineer reserve.
The problem of engineering students
in the draft was presented by Milo S.
Ketchum of Boulder, Colo, president
of the society for the promotion of
engineering; and c. r. Mann. dean of
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy.
Trained Men Valuable
They filed with Mr.. Baker copies
of resolutions adopted by various en-
gineering societies. urging special
consideration for engineering students,
because of the value of such men when
trained to the military establishment.
About 5000 students in III recog-
nized engineering college and schools
are affected.
After the conference, General Crow
der issued an amendment to the Sc
lective draft regulations giving such
students the same classification as
student doctors. Where they can
present certificates showing that they
are enlisted in the engineer reserve
they will be placed in class five by To-
cal boards.
Must Show Ability
These certificates must come from
the presidents of the Institutions they
attend, stating that they have shown
ability that places them among the
highest third of the graduates of such
schools during the last ten years
A resolution adopted by the secre-
tary for the promotion of engineering
and approved by the council OF tie
American Society of Engineers was
presented at today's conference. II is
pointed out that a majority of the 4300
engineering students graduated during
1917 are already in the national serv-
ice and that one-third of the 1918
class has already enlisted
THE danger is not that students in
will refrain from enlist
ing" the resolution added. but that
they will enlist before they are suf-
trained 20 be most effective
in actual service"
