grad has had for some years the la-g-

have taken such an active part In the

was sought for the opportunity it gave
them to spread their doctrine.

GERMANY DISTRESSED
BY WILSON'S APPEAL

tBy Associated Press.l
COPENHAGEN, April 7.--Ameri-
cas- entrance into the war evidently
has had an immediate and strong
effect upon the reform movement
in Germany.

Is necessary as a military and poll

as the Vorwaerts puts it, is evident
ly gaining ground in all except re-

The demand that Germany follow
the example of the United States
and ask for peace without annexa-
ton is heard from moderate liberal
as well as from Socialist quarters.
This demand no longer represents
the ideas of many thinking persons
that annexation except for slight
frontier alterations would be against
the real interests Of Germany, but
also the realization that after the
United States joined the ranks OF
the enemy the time had passed when
Germany could hope to dictate terms
of peace or even moderate terms
