WILSON LAUGHS NEXT
After Reading Vienna Comment on
His Message to Congress.

Amsterdam, Monday, Dec 10
Commenting on Americas declaration
of war against Austria Hungary, the
Neues Wiener Tageblatt, of Vienna,
says:
president wilson's sudden idea that
war must be declared against Austria
Hungary on the ground that she is
Germany's vaSSal is the craziest of
his career as war inciter. We are not
frightened by his declaration of war.
That Mr.. Wilson should think he
knows us better than we know our
selves makes us laugh"
The Fremdenblatt of Vienna, refers
to the fact that Americas war decla-
ration was almost simultaneous with
the armistice negotiations with Rus
Sia and says it is a natural preSump-
ton that President Wilson sees in the
turn of events in Russia, the danger

CERMANY'S OFFER
Peace Terms Not Inviting to
Russian BOlSheViki.
Demands All Russian Wheat
for Fifteen Years.

London, Dec. 1.-THE Petrograd
correspondent of the Times attributes
to a responsible source the statement
that during the informal conversa-
tions between Russian and German
representatives at Brest-Litovsk re-
garding the armistice on the eastern
front the Germans indicated that the
following points were likely to be in
cluded in any of their peace negotia-
tions:
Germany to have control of the
Russian wheat market for fifteen
years.
All German goods to be admitted to
Russia duty free.
No territory now occupied by the
Germans to be surrendered.
The correspondent says the Bolshe-
Wiki were disappointed by the reserved
attitude of the German negotiators
and their lack of sympathy with po-
litical idealism. other causes contrib
uted to their depression but it is stat
ed they are determined to conclude
an armistice at any cost if the latest
appeal by the Russian commissioners
to the allies fails.

BRAVE TOMMY BAND
Mere Handful in Hand to Hand Fight
Holds Back Division of Germans.

With the British Armies in the
Field, Dec. 11.-One small group of
British Tommies held a whole Ger
man division at bay in one twist of the
great Cambria battle.
The story did not come out in its full
heroic. details until today.
In the deep dry bed of the Nord
canal, east of Mouevres, this little
group of British made one of the
finest stands of the war. AS the Ger
mans poured into this miniature
ward around a slight curve. They
hurled bombs and closed with the
enemy in a hand to hand scrimmage
of bayonets, bombs, sticks, clubs and
fists. The Germans were unable to
stand the gruelling man-to-man
fight. They retired. The British
went right on. TLey took two heavy
howitzers and two IT'S, dragging
them back to. strategic point. The
Tommies stuck their field pieces down
for flat trajectory and began firing
The target of human bodies in the
German attacking wave was too per-
feet to miss.
Wounded British soldiers refused
to be moved back of the firing line
and begged to be propped up so they
could continue the fight.
The determined little band was
finally forced to retire, in conformity
with the general scheme of the British
every soldier made it a point of honor
help get away machine guns. When
the Germans occupied their ground,
they did not find a pound of stuff left
behind
