Berlin FavOrS Wilson
Ideas; Fears Formal Inter-
ventiOn in Negotiations
PAPERS SKEPTICAL
OF HIS PROPOSALS
Think World Union Splen-
did in Theory, but I'm
likely of Adoption
BY ERNST KAHN
fBy Wireless 10 The Tribune ]

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Public opikion gem
orally has received President Wilson's
peace speech with sympathy. Liberal
and Democratic papers regard the de-
sign of cosmopolitan alliance to Sc
cure peace as a high ideal and acknowl-
edge that the President has dealt plain
~ and exposed his opinion of the
worlds situation and his loyal longing
for peace.
The papers emphasize the fact that
several points in the message-such as
peace by mutual understanding, and not
by the determination of one party, and
more freedom OF the seas and maritime
ways-arc aimed at the prevention of a
recurrence of the European catas-
trophe.
Approval also meets what the Presi-
dent says concerning the universal ex-
tension of the Monroe Doctrine. in SO
far as 1t does not suggest the intention
of any outside power formally to in
tervene in the peace negotiations be-
tween the two groups OF belllgerentS.
The claim of the United States to be
heard is considered TO be the basis for
universal peace covenant, provided
that claim is fair.
Other points in she speech. such as
neutrslizing the ways to the open sea
and the reduction of ornaments, are
considered ambiguous. The cOnserva-
tive and pan-German press are more re-
strained and reserved in their opinion,
acknowledging, however, the noble in
tcntions of the Presidents message.
Papers of all beliefs lay stress on the
great difference between the American
and the European continents, and point
out the difficulties of an immediate
realization of the Presidents ideals,
which even in American history could
not always be solved by abstract

DUTCH BAN ARMED SHIPS

The Hague, Jan. 26.-The Dutch
Minister Of Foreign Affairs announced
in the Chamber of Deputies to-day
that armed merchantmen in the Dutch
colonies would be treated as war YES
sells, except in the case of ships
carrying provisions.
The government, the Foreign Min
ister said, had protested against the
detention Of grain cargoes, and he cx-
pressed the hope that Great Britain
was prepared 10 pay compensation as
such detention arose from misconcep-
ton. The same, he added could be
said with regard to the d,sention of
copper cargoes.

TiSza Did Not Urge u. S.
Mediation" Germania''

Berlin. Jan. 26.-The Catholic organ
"Germania" points out that the deela-
rations of Premier Tisza in the Hun
garian Parliament concerning Presi-
dent Wilson's address to the Senate,
followed Immediately upon a confer
ence with the German authorities in
Berlin and considers that Count Tisza
can scarcely have meant 20 encourage
American mediation as particularly
promising and desirable.
1t declares also that Count Tisza
did not mean to depart from the stand
point of the Central Powers that peace
negotiations can be conducted only di-
rectly with their opponents.
The "Vorwaerts" sees in Count
Tisza's declarations the announcement
that the Central Powers will persist
not only in the prosecution of the
struggle against enemy plans Of con.
quest, but also in their willingness to
make peace.

to Attain His Aims

Berlin, Jan. &c (byswireless to Say

Berlin. NJ. Rizow, is credited by the
"Tageblatt" with some interesting
statements regarding the Entente note
in reply TO President Wilson. lie is
quoted by the Overseas News Agency
as saying:
Il do not know whether Mr.. Wilson
will take further steps in favor OF
peace. for have not the honor OF
knowing him or his political inten-
tons. Those who do know him de-
clare that he takes everything into ac-
count in advance and is given to dis
playing the energy necessary to bring
to a conclusion any action once in
itiated by him.
Could Hold Up Supplies
of this is true. then it must be that
he will continue his efforts for peace
and not rest upon the platOnic act OF
his noble initiative; this the more
since he possesses rather efficient
means Of making a continuation OF
the war exceedingly difficult.
For instance, he can detain money,
arms, food supplies and raw materials,
which at the close of 1916 had reached
the enormous total value of Sl,OOO,-
100000. Such action would be logl-
cal development of his proposals. the
words of Lord Kitchener to American
statesmen ought nc. TO be forgotten,
THE Entente cannot win without the
assistance of the United States
NJ. Rizow asserted that ''the agrees
sive, violent tone" of the last note OF
the Entente powers was due TO tie
