Further Reactions TO

OUCH food Of foreign comment upon
President Wilson'S address to Con-
~ .gress has come in that The Review
snds itself embarrassed With the Wealth of
material provided for this survey of for
e;gn opinions. In Entente countries the
message has met with hearty approval but
With varying shades of doubt in some in
stances as TO questions of detail. In the
Central Powers, on the other hand. the
message has met with general rejection.
with only the recognition here and there
that il is inspired with the desire to pre-
vent further bloodshed and is more mod
crate in tone than Mr. Wilson'S previous
utterarces. It is evident, however, that the
German government regards the MESSAGE
as good propaganda material for itself
for. as the State Department has been in
formed il has been fully published in Ger
many.
1T England approval is general, with
the Liberal and Labor elements taking the
lead in supporting the President. Mr..
Balfour was enthusiastic in his verdict.

slons of skepticism and support are found
IN the Toxic papers The newspaper
"Chugal' said that adjustment of colonies
to accord with the interests and wishes of
the inhabitants, if applied to all the colo
MES occupied by the Entente, would be
sure to evoke a serious complication.
The "Nichi Nichi" was also skeptical on
that point, and further thought that the
Presidents declaration for freedom of the
seas and no obstacles to commerce de-
mands Japans serious attention.
The reaction in the Central Powers was
for the most part very unfavorable. The
"Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung," the
senl-ofiicial organ of the government,
said:
"The fourteen points do not form a pro
gramme for world peace, but real symphony
of will to no peace
Now that the Chancellor is a Catholic
statesman, it is important to note what the
SIX Colriccl,o Vo;
Catholic organ, writes:
"President Wilson's programme
Is as unacceptable for is the British.
and is more brutal still than that of Llovd
George. He demands the severance from tho
German Empire of Alsace- Lorraine, which is
rine-tenths inhabited by Germans and he un-
disguisedly demands the severance from the
empire of parts of Prussia inhabited by the
Poles"
The Berlin "Lokal-Anzeiger" spoke of
the President as "thc Ententes chief wire
puller," and indulged in talk about ''the
unbranded impudence with which the lead
ing statesmen Of the multiple alliance de-
ceive the whole world" The 'Vossische
Zeitung,' the Radical Berlin organ, re-
garded the Presidents words about
Russia as an example Of "Anglo-Saxon
clear-sightedness,' and warned Germans
against thinking that Russia is now in
position where it is bound Internationally
to accept any conditions that Germany
lays down.
The "Berliner Tageblatt," one of the
foremost newspapers of Germany, which
represents the views Of the Progressive
party, has this to say:
Mr. Wilson would find himself mistaken if
he assumed that the Reichstag majority were
ready to negotiate peace on the basis which
ne declares to be the only possible"

Taking Drastic Action to
Break the Coal Famine

criticise when "that which is decrecd is
needless"
"The New York Sun" was inclined to
make the best of it on the ground that a
surgeon is more welcome than an under-
taker."
Prior to DIR. Garfield's action, "The
New York World" came out with this OBJ
servation:
"The way to deal with the coal situation
IS to get ccal-not to shut down industries
arbitrarily classified as non-esscntial; not
to close theatres schools or shops; not
but to get coal.
THAT is not superhuman undertaking.
There is plenty of coal at the mines, and
the output be still further increased.
The difficulty lies in trans xportation and
distribution. The railroad systems broke
Gown under the strain of an unprecedented
traffic, but they are finding themselves
again under government control. The
possibilities Of increased transportation are
not yet exhausted, and coal can be provided
III spite Of weather and in spite of all the
vexatlons that have arisen. 1t can be done,
however, only hy energy and resolution.
"1n the case of New York, for example,
there IS Tenty OF coal across the bay, but

of the most reasonable papers in Germany
writes:
"Presdent Wilson's programme has d mum.
ber Of points upon which negotiations coud
be based; for instance. the freedom of The
seas, the abolition Of economic barriers
equality Of commercial conditions, the reduc
ton OF armamcnts. the evacuation of Bel
GUM and the foundation of league of ma
Nons. Other points are entirely unaccept-
able"
The Socialist organs show certain
leaning toward the Presidents views.
AS it has been the custom to look to Aus
tria for greater degree of moderation
than prevails in Germany, it is interesting
TO find that the Vienna newspapers reject
the Presidents programme with even
greater unanimity than do those of Ger
many. The "F'remdenbatt' sees in it the
intention to "let Russia continue to bleed
for the selfish aims Of the Entente" The
"Neuc Freie Pressc,' too, saw in the mes
sage a plan to break up the peace nego-
tiations at Brest-Litovsk, and remarked
that the President regards "the time for
conquest and aggrandizement as gone by
Of course, for the Central Powers, not for
the Entente" The paper says that Mr..
Wilson "continues slandering and war
batting"
According to advices from Bulgaria, the
papers there of all shades Of opinion wei
come the address as a step toward peace.
The democratic organ "Preporetz' ap-
peaIed to Mr. Wilson to settle the Balkan
question on the basis of rationalities and
historic tendencies and to give Serbia an
outlet to the Adriatic.

representatives to Washington to protest

their objections to DR.. Garfield and Secre-

argument to the President. They claim
that the saving in New York would amount
to no more than 1863 tons q day at the Ut

to the government in the form of the war

In the Liberal and Labor camps the tone
Of comment is much more sympathetic.
Niscount Bryce found the speech "admi-

must expedite peace negotiations, unless
Germany has hardened her heart"
AT Paris Paul Deschanel opened the ses-
slon Of The Chamber of Deputies with an
address in which he said that the United
States, frorn Washington to Lincoln and
rom Lincoln to Wilson, has added brill

CONSTANT ITCHING AL

Only those afflicted with Ec.
Only those afflicted with Ec-
tation and ceaseless itching
know what constant torture
that disease can cause. The
disease appears In different
ways, sometimes with, a red
dening and irritation Of the
skin, sometimes in the form of
blisters. Other cases Of Ec-
zema take the form Of a dry,
scaly condition of the skin
that cracks and peels. But no
matter in what form the dis
ease appears. II is a source of
constant fiery irritation that
is well-nlgh unbearable.
Eczema is very often con-
sidered a skin disease. This
is q natural mistake, as il at
taeks the skin and il is
through the skin that it causes
40 much discomfort and suf-
ferinR. Bot the real seat of
the disease is the blood, and
the irritated and diseased
condition Of the skin Is the
result Of the germs trying to
break out Of the system. Be-
yond the use of antiseptics TO
promote cleanliness, there is
no local treatment that will
accomplish a permanent cure
Of this disease. And those
who have been relying alto
gcther upon salyes, soaps
ointmrnts and other local APP
plications TO the skin will find
that no permanent good will
come from such treatment by
itself.
