Wilson Note Challenged ms lIypO-
critical ana Peace Evnding.

AMSTERDAM Sept. Comment OF
German newspapers on the reply OF
President Wilson to the peace proposals
of Pope Benedict, as received here, fol-
lows:
Cologne GdcCttr-"Evcry word Of
President Wilson'S note is grotesque nom
sense. The climax of all the nonsense IL
that the German people are groaning
under n cruel Government. Has not the
entire German people, rich and poor,
Socialist ana Conservative, continually
repeated that IT stands firm for the EN-
peror and the empire? The solution OF
the puzzle is that Mr. Wilson wants TO
persevere with the war. America bus-
ness world needs the war at this juno
ture. Americas future needs the big
army that is Just in the making
'Mr, Wilson hopes for disunity in Ger
many. and therefore offers the German
people peace at the cost of the German
Governments fall, This trick is too
transparent The German people may be
relied upon to range themselves more
firmly around the Emperor against this
hypocrte."

BERLIN, via London. Sept 1.--Presi-
dent Wilson's reply to the Popes peace
note was published generally by the
newspapers this morning, and in tho
course Of the editorial comment Mr.. Will
con was bitterly denounced on the score
Of the notes tone and tendency. Tho
Lokaldnseiger said:
president Wilson declines the Pores
mediation with the same mass of swol-
len phrases with which he has already
satiated the German peoples. We are
told that the war is not being waged
against the German nation but against
their masters
''The absolute mendacity of Mr.. Will
sons phraseology becomes apparent
when his dictum as to the rights Of ma
tions who are capable Of shaping their
own destinies, is opposed to the wish of
the German people to be governed BY
these very masters Mr.. Wilson there
fore does not intend to give us our lib
crty. but to deprive us of liberty to ar
rive at our own decisions
TeutOns IndOrsc Pacifists,
For that matter. this whole mass of
words has as its sole purpose the ex-
preston of the intention to prolong the
war at any price. In this resolve Mr..
wilson. who is fighting for the freedom
OF mankind. orders peace meetings dis
perSed and paC!tsts arrested
Ihis war has exposed in its naked
ness much that is low and contemplate
,ts remaining task was to exhibit IA hero
like this coldly calculating mathemati-
cian whom a singular fate in momen-
tous hour has given the power over one
hundred million people"
referring to the distinction drawn by
president Wilson between the German
people and the Government the Lokal-
dneei9er said: The whole fallacy Of
President Wilson's argument is clear
from the sentence in regard to the
freedom of nations, which are them
selves to decide their own fate, Presi-
dent Wilson will not give US freedom
TO decide for ourselves, but would take
1t from us"

Major General Pershing, the American

The landing of the first American
troops has been complete success"

undertaken-not man or an animal

eager spirit.
THE physical appearance of our
men is truly inspiring. They are all fine,
husky young fellows, with the glow of
energy, good health and physical vigor,
which will make them a credit along
side any troops. They are exception
ally well camped and cared for, with
substantial wooden barracks. good
beds, good food and the best sanitary
arrangements. They are located on
high ground. For all of this we are
deeply indebted to French cooperation

London, June 3O.-TlSc Russian often
sive has begun-at the moment chosen
by Won Hndenburg to appeal for
separate armistice during the elections
for the Russian Constitutional Con-
vention.
The Russian infantry left their
trenches to-day and attacked on front
of approximately thirty-hve miles
southeast of Lembcrg, capital OF Cali
cia. The concerted movement was
launched after "ire of destruction
lasting more than twenty-four hours.
According 70 the night bulletin from
Berlin. the field of battle extends from
the upper reaches of the Strypa River,
west Of Tarnopol, to the western bank
of the Zlota Lipa River. This front
lies astride three railway lines run
ming into Lemberg, and on an angle
drawn through Brezezany, where the
Russian cannonsde has been concen-
trated for two weeks, would embrace
about thirty-fve miles, without ac-
counting for sinuosities. II indicates a
drive of tremendous scope, with many
divisions engaged.
Berlin declares that the attacks broke
down under the destructive Teutonic
fire. But this is the customary German
reference TO enemy offensives in their
early stages.
Every indication throughout the day
pointed to the imminence Of the Rus
sian offensive. Both Berlin and Vienna

Copenhagen. June 80. 1t is roported
from German sources that Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg. chief of the Ger
man General Staff. in a wireless
message, again has offered an arms-
tice TO Russia.
This time his wish is to suspend
hostilties during the election of dele
gates to the Russian Constitutional
Convention.
The report is not confirmed officially
but il is in accord with preliminary
intimations last week that Won Hinden-
burg's new offer was contemplated.
A Copenhagen dispatch, on June i,
said the German government was con-
sideiing the Offering Of an armstice
10 Russia for the period of the cleo
tions. which begin September 30. This
was intended by the German authori-
ties. II was said, as a compliment 10
the Russian Council, to further the
growth of pro-German sentiment In
Russia and because Germany desires
10 see a stable government established
at Petrograd.
