many insists on rejecting peace pro-

The correspondent Of the Daily Mail
says that interest in this utterance lies
in the admission that the object of
Austro-German diplomacy is to per-
suade President Wilson to make peace
proposals or to take the initiative in
peace discussion over the heads Of the
rulers Of the entente governments.
ZURICH, Switzerland. Monday, April
s.-The tone of President Wilson's
speech at Baltimore is dep1ored in
Austria, says a Vienna dispatch to the
Neue Zuricher Zeitung, although under
the circumstances it is regarded as in
telligible. The essential point is con-
sidered to be the Presidents readiness.
under the conditions indicated. to con-
clude peace even now. The situation.
therefore, is looked upon as unchanged.
The Vienna press in general. the dis
patch says, regards the speech as very
moderate.

AMSTERDAM. April 9.-The Koelnische
volks Zeitung, in commenting upon Presi-
dent Wilson's Baltimore speech, says:
..It is beginning to dawn upon Ameri-
cans that they have backed the wrong
horse. as witness the raging speech OF the
President, whose mental equilibrium
seems badly upset All Americas achieve
ments in the first war year amount to a
casualty list Of more than 3,000."
The German newspapers SO far received
here publish only a summary OF the
speech, and. for the most part, reserve
comment until the full text of his speech
is available.
The vossische zeitung speaks of the
wide gulf between President Wilson's
! words and Deeds ana says that where
the President confesses his conversion to
the policy of force his words have q the
atrical sound and lack the force Of con-
victor.
The Taegliche Rundschau says: Our
readiness for peace simply does not
cuses us Of striving for world dominion.
although the statesmen and repre-
| sentative assemblies Of the central
powers have repeatedly emphasized
peace"
Vorwaert's Strong Words.
| The vorwaerts says: ''The hopes
| placed in their great ally across the
| Atlantic with her mighty resources,
buoy up our enemies and drive them
| to ever renewed resistance. There now
| is no other solution for the world
| confusion than a complete German
| victory also in the west"
| The Krupps' organ, the Essener ALL
! gemeine considers that the American
danger will become acute for Ger
many when peace is IN sight. Mean
| while," 1t adds. "our diplomatic posi-
! tion will be improved. AS neutral
| the United States would have been
very dangerous to US because we would
| be apt to overestimate her strength,
which now, as an enemy, we know.
The danger from America will be
largely diminished If our negotiators
firmly refuse to bulge an inch from
the fundamental position we have
gained by terrible sacrifices"
The Frankfurter Zeitung admits
that America is capable of great
achievement. but needs time, which
the entente cannot afford to lose.

American Statement to Russia.

LONDON. April s.-A Russian semi
Official statement, says q Reuter- dispatch
from Moscow, declares that the American
representative has informed NJ. Tchit-
cherin. the Russian foreign minister, that
his government was opposed to Japanese
action in Siberia. The British representa- :
tive, it is added, declared that according
to all information at his disposal foreign
intervention in Siberia would be contrary
to the intentions Of the British govern
ment.
Official kilograms from Toxic say that
the landing Of Japanese and British forces
! at Vladivostok was a purely local affair
and has no relation to any Japanese inter-
vention in Siberia The landing followed
the pillaging on Thursday Of japanese
business houses, during which three
Japanese were killed.

the city, but, on the contrary, local mill

Greater chance of success IL expected
from the operation of concrete tankers
because the liquid load will constantly

Pacific coast for private account. Is al
most ready to undertake voyage. En-
gines probably will be installed by

to her possibilities.
