Wilson View Changed,
Says Italian Paper

IBy Cable to the Progresso Italo-Americanol
ROME, Sept. 6.-The Italian press is
publishing more comment on President
Wilson's reply to the Pope's message.
The "Osservatore Romano declares
that the document presented by the
President is delusion, for it makes
one believe that President Wilson has
changed his views.
This change" says the "Osserys-
tore" "is one of the numerous sur
prises of history"
The "Corriere della Sera" says;
"The strong note of Wilson is a
proof that the times of scraps Of pa
per- have passed away and that new
Europe, which will emerge from the
present bloodshed, will he entirely diff
ferent from what it had been before.
The sanctity Of treaties will no longer
be DETAINED by material and moral
transactions with violators of all laws"

German Maneuvres

AMSTERDAM, Sept. THE over

in Germany wants peace at any price,
but that those who live with the peo-

and navy. They know Germany will
defend herself to the last drop of blood,
and at the same time they know also

in these dispatches, namely, that there
is a difference of opinion here over
war aims. could he found than that
supplied by the letter Of Sir Edward
Carson, member of the War Cabinet
and chief publicity agent of Britain.
His letter brings out sharply the lack
Of sympathy one section of the public
has for much Of the sentiment ex-
pressed in President Wilson's reply to
the Pope's peace note.
II is absolutely essential TO the sue
cessful prosecution OF the war that
America clearly understand that, just
as there is a difference of opinion in
the United States, so is there big
gulf between the views of the Presl-
dent and those of Tories, such as Car
son, Lord Curzon, Melner, of THE
Morning Post; "The Times "The
Daily Express" "The Evening Stand

tional Review" and host Of others.
Though perhaps small in number,
they represent an extremely powerful
section of the country, and it will save
future Misunderstanding if this diff
ference of opinion is recognized now.
Frankness now, while the big task still
remains, will make for better team
work.
Carson for League of Nations
Those who hold to the same opinion
as Carson say that America will modify
her views after she has begun to make
sacrifices on the field of battle, while
the other side holds that the modifica-
ton will come here.
Lord Robert Cecil said to-day, when
asked about a league of the nations:

Lord Robert showed entire sympathy
with the views of the President.

sons views, "The Evening Star" says:
