GERMANS FEAR
WILSON'S DEFEAT
Fear Allies Views Will
Prevail Over His at
Conference II
tBy Associated &c. ]


Berlin. Friday Dec. 6.-(via Copper.
hagen)-The summary of the ad-
dress delivered by President Wilson
before congress last Monday which
adequate and hence there has neen
has reached here is presumably In
little comment on it in the news
papers. Germans seek yainly for
comfort in the message and in Mr..
wilson's program. in which 1t is sup
posed that America and the allies
have pledged themselves that Ger
many viii only have a shadowy ex-
istence at the peace conference.
Fear Defeat for Wilson's Program
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 a general
fear, which amounts almost to set
tied belief, that he will be unable TO
force his program through. The lei
tung Am Mittag says:
at is almost unimaginable opti-
mism for one to hope that Wilson's
intervention will mitigate the de-
structive 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 pa
pers declare that he approved OF
Americas imperialistic naval poll
icy" and has failed to check the en-
tente's "piratical economic plans"

Belgium may also come to the
peace meeting with a demand for the
duchy of Luxembourg. The Luxem-
burgers are more German than Bel
gian in blood. but they have no de-
sire to become a part of Germany.
All Luxembourg was claimed by Bel
GUM at the time of Belgium's
achievement OF independence from
Holland, but partition was effected
by which half Of Luxembourg was
given to Belgium while the other
half remained subject to the king of
Holland. 1t Is the Dutch half of the
grand duchy which is now the indie
pendent state. having passed out of
Dutch possession on the accession of
Queen Wilhelmina. The failure of
the male line in Holland deprived the
Dutch of LuxembuEg; but when the
second independent grand duke had
no male heir the constitution was
altered to permit the accession Of the
present ruler. To give Luxembourg
to Belgium now would be to reunite
the two halves of the partitioned
country.

New York, July 14.-Arrangemen to distribute neighborhood news to all of the American fighting forces abroad have been perfected by the foreign press cable service bureau of the committee on public information which is directed by Walter s.

 The service will be sent to France and wherever American soldiers are stationed every day by one of the big German wireless plants which has been operated by the government since the European war started and used ex- tensively for American propaganda, in cluding the world broadcasting of President Wilson's speeches during the fifteen months this country has been at war with Germany and it's allies. The wireless reports will be delivered free of all tolls to military publica- tions in France, and where no news papers can be distributed bulletins will be supplied to headquarters of the different units for posting on con veniently located bulletin boards.
