AMSTERDAM. Dec. 9.-The German

in the message proof that apart from
TIE war on land. II is a question OF the
actual existence OF the German Empire

The Tuoebldtt says that the message
has raised new difficulties for the friends
Of peaR by understanding and con-
tinues: 1T Is not to be denied that the
intranstgeant American war will tend
indefinitely to prolong the war. II goes
without saying that entire Germany Is

speaks In Wilson's new proclamation"
The Zeitung am Mittdg says: III

that there can be no peace with the

The Rhcinischc wcsttdHsche Zetuno

strong impression that somebody hish
In military authority Is responsible for
the serious blunder in permitting the
Germans effectively to counter attack

the British occupied at the first onset

Many military critics comment on the
evidence that the British were surprised
by the German attacks, despite tho fact
that the success Of the earlier British
surprise should have been a warning to
guard against the possibility that the
Germans would attempt the Rme thing
