the fact that the first versions of the
speech telegraphed from England to
neutral countries on the continent
Tuesday were sharply condensed. whole
sections having been eliminated, par
ticularly from the latter part of the
message.
But a comparison of this tabloid YER
sion as received in Denmark with that
published in Berlin shows that the
German censors' pencils had been vi
gorously employed to strike out refer
ences to the conduct of German agents,
items OF President Wilson's indictment
of the autocratic' German government
President Wilson's reference to the at
tempt to embroil Mexico against the
United States is deemed improper
reading for Germans, nor are they al
lowed to hear President Wilson's rea-
sons for the conviction that the auto
cratic German government has not only
no friendship for America, but is ready
at any opportunity to plot against its
security.
The reference to dynastic wars. too, is
twisted into shape that has aroused
indignant comment from every Ger
man newspaper.
The full text of the message was re-
ceived In Copenhagen only today and
reads almost like another document as
compared with the earlier version The
first part of the two versions is sub
stantfally the same, except for con-
densationS and omission of non-essen-
tial matter. The second part has been
cut wholesale. The Presidents reason
ing on the inadvisa bility of armed neu-
trality Is given incompletely: there is
no reference made to the proposed
financing of the allies and the para

Austro-Hungarian Papers,
in Guarded Comment, Regret
Action of President Wilson

VIENNA, Wednesday, April 4. VIA
London, April 6.-The Austro-H Hun
garian press has paid little attention to
President Wilson's message to Congress
regarding German-American relations
The few editorial comments give prom
inence to the fact that reliable informa-
ton on the American government at
titude is so scarce that it is Impossible
to form a picture of what is happening
in the United States.
While some of the newspapers doubt
President Wilson's motives others point
out that the American governments at
titude in the past has made difficult
the taking of any other course than
that now laid down, expressing at the
same time the hope that the situation
between the United States and Aus
tria- Hungary will not undergo change
for the worse.
All of the leading articles voice re
greet that by President Wilson'S act
the chances for an early peace are
seemingly Iessened and that further
bloodshed will be necessary. 1t is de-
c1ared also that come what may, the
central powers must continue night IN

from the republicans. whose mouth
pieces are despotic fnanciers whose
policy is sheer imperialism and who
aim at world trust in which America
will have all peoples at her mercy. The
unanimous feeling in Germany today
is that America, or rather American
financial power long sought this war
and that it became inevitable, not
through the lust Of dominion on the
part Of our rulers but theirs"
The Frankfurter Zeitung says:
war with the United States does not
brighten us, because it brings nothing
not foreseen by the leaders of the Ger
man nation. We are confident that the
full extent of the damage America can
infiict on US has been calculated in de-
tall
The paper then expresses the opin-
ion that the war will be over before
American forces will be able to take
part in the actual fighting.
