Amsterdam, Jan. 12.-The German
newspapers have begun violently to
quarrel among themselves regarding
their respective Niews Of President
Wilson's address to congress.
The Tagislische Rundschau of Berlin,
for instance, under the caption, THE
Pied Piper of Washington" attacks the
comment Of the socialist newspaper
Vorwaerts as deSpicable backbonelesS-
ness, while the Rhcinische Westfalische
Zeitung under the head of Wilson's
Last Hope" turns fiercely on the Ber-
liner Tageblatt, the Volks Zeitung and
others, which 1t accuses OF having con
irmed President Wilson in the belief
that Germany some day will "oblige
the entente by surTendering the fruits
/ of victory"
The Vorwaerts in its comment de-
clared that compared with his previous
pronouncements the presidents address
seems IAN example of statesmanlke
moderation"

program of world peace, but we must
be on guard against too ready conf

men for any other purpose than &c
exercise pressure from the rear in the
direction OF peace, We shall continue
to do so. and If the workers of Other
countries do the same, then genera
world peace will be attained at no dis
tant date"
The Frankfurtor zeitung, while dis
senting from many points in President
Wilson's message, says the whole docu
ment seems inspired by the desir,
which also animates Germany, namely
to avoid further hoodshed
"If our enemies desire to Convcr
their words into deeds" the newspaper
continues, "and if President Wilson il

similar concessions, then Indeed thu

ending the war is supplied"

The newspaper dissents entirely from
the presidents position regarding Al
