GERMANS DO
NOT COMMENT
ON ADDRESS
Many Germans Believe in
Presidents Intentions to
Put Program Through

Berlin, Friday, Dec. s.-(via
Copenhagen. 1.-The summary of the
address delivered by President Wilson
before congress last Monday which
has reached here is presumably IN
adequate and hence there has been
little comment on it in the newepa-
pers. Germans seek vainly for COM
fort in the message and in Mr. Will
sons program, in which it is supposed
that America and the Allies have
pledged themselves that Germany will
have only shadowy existence at the
peace conference.
A large majority of Germans be-
lieve in President Wilson's good in
tentions and all their hopes are CEN
tered in him, but there is general
fear which amounts almost to a set
tied belief that he will be unable to
force his program through. The Zeit-
ung Am Mittag says: "It is almost
unimaginable optimism for one to
hope that Wilson's Intervention will
mitigate the destructive conditions OF
peace"
Other comment seems to recognize
that President Wilson may not be the
dominating figure that Germans have
expected him to be. Some papers de-
clare that he approved Of Americas
imperialistic naval policy" and has
failed to check the Entente's "Pirati-
cal economic plans"
