The Hague, Jan. lS.-The "Ber!ner
Kreuz Zetunz' cditorially urges the
immediate opening Of ruthless sub
marine campaign By Germany as
reply to the Entente peace demands.
II says that owing TO German hesltancy
in the use OF Zeppelins against Eng

time to find a means to foil Zeppelin

Berlin, Jan. l3.--The Entente reply
TO President Wilson's note has bound
together more firmly than ever all
classes OF the Central Powers. The
specifc delineation OF the aims OF Ger
many's enemies, though so eXtrsvagant
that they are not to be considered, have
removed all doubt, settled all differ
ences of opinion and strengthened the
German nation in its determination to
fight to the end.
Such is the opinion Of the German
press on the Entente note. lndlgna-
tion at what are deemed slurs and
anger at the peace conditions OF the
Allies are tempered BY the feeling that
the note has had unifying effect that
could be obtained in no ether way.

Constantinople and Asia Minor for
Turkey, and deliverance Of Bulgaria to
revengeful neighbors, and concludes
that the note will weld all together a
thousandfold stronger than the Lon

"Boersen Zeitung' says:
