Wilson'S Reply
Raises Sarcasm
in Berlin Press
Westphalian Gazette Calls
Every Word of Refusal
Superfluous.

Amsterdam, Sept. 1.-The Rhcnish
Westphalian Gazette, in discussing
President Wilson'S reply to the pope
says:

word is superfluons against the ri
diculons suggestion that a people
which has 10 defend its skin against

Like tho British, Mr.. Wilson bases
his only hope on internal conpllca-
he backs the doubtful card of n Ger
man revolution or ut least internal
changes which in their effects on
Gcrmany'a foreign policy would op-
crate in a similar embedding manner.
Mr.. Wilson knows that there are pco-
pie III Germany who are particularly
susceptible to such utterances by an
enemy. but he is at least seen
through. even by his former friends
here and we. can therefore hardly be-
lieve that he will have great success

short OF the destruction OF the enemy
and demands an Anglo. American
peace Mr. Wilson's answer must be
characterized as pitiful. The man
who formerly stood forth as a peace
advocate is now blowing the widest
war trumpet. He who proclaimed
peace without victory now desires the
complete crushing of the enemy

CALL UNITED STATES
NOVICE AT DIPLOMACY
CIeverness Stops With Busi-
ness Says Rome Papers.

Rome, Friday. Aug. st.-Criticism OF
the form in which President Wilson
replied to Pope Ecncdiets peace note Is
voiced by the Osscrvatorc Romano
and the corricre dIttlia, rcflcctors of
vatican opinion. which take mp this
point without entering into the mcr-
its of the presidential response. their
comment contrasting American ciev-
erness in business with what is allud-
ed to IL an American lack of knowl-
edge of diplomatic usages.
The criticism Is based, for one thing,
upon the reply being signed by Secre-
tary of State Lansing, while the papa
note avs signed by Pope Benedict him
self. This. according to these news
paper critics. required that the answe
be signed by President Wilson. Th
