Amsterdam, Jan. 1.-THE Vienna
newspapers, according to dispatches
from that city, consider President vii
sons proposed peace conditions such as
could only be- imposed If the Quadruple
alliance was completely defeated
The Fremdemblatt, in declaring them
unacceptable, says:
President Wilson's message reveals
clearer than Lloyd Georges speech the
intentions Of our enemies to let Russia
continue to bleed for the selfish aims
Of the entente"
The Neue ENreie Presse says:
president Wilson is superior even to
Lloyd George in his capacity for de
ceiving the nations. President Wilson
intersperses his fourteen points with
popular principles in order TO deceive
the masses who do not know our condi-
tions. The message, of course, also aims
at breaking up the negotiations at Brest
Litovsk.
president Wilson says that the
time for conquest and ACKNOWLEDGMENT
has gone by--of course, for the central
powers, not for the entente. lie admits
that Russia is impotent and helpless.
He cannot deny that the central powers
proposals are capable Of liberal inter
pretation. Yet he continues slandering
and war batting"
Defy TO President Wilson.
The Neus Weiner Tageblatt says:
president Wilson must be made
clearly to understand that it is useless
to try to win over the central powers
for the entente's plans Of disruption and
disintegration. AustriaHungary viii
be master of its own house our peo
pies do not need Mr.. Wilson'S protector
ship. If President Wilson is unable tC
appreciate the justice Of the centra
powers standpoint, we can but patient
ly wait, for it will not be much Longer
before our enemies learn to sift the
impossible from the possible"
The Nues Weiner Journal argues
that President Wilson's demand for thu
restitution Of Alsace.L Lorraine erects ;
new barrier.
Die Zeitung also declares that thl
demand cannot be discussed and tina
interference with the monarchy's af
fairs is inadmissible. but notes with jo,
that the enemy is soon coming down.
Someone now is wanted" adds tn
paper, ito help on the moderation Of {
few more degrees Then, perhaps,
level will be reached when our oppo
nents will regain their senses and b
willing to negotiate"
Says Wilson flinders Russ Peace.
The Reichs Post calls President Wi
sons fourteen points a simple euumera
tion of the central powers well-know
wishes. but accuses him Of seeking t
hinder peace negotiations at Bres
Litovsk.
The Nachricten Of Dusseldorf reject
= President Wilson's proposition as ou
lined in his war message to congress
, as merely unacceptable, and says tina
! discussion is useless.
, 1T may be hard" it says, after thre
n years Of war but decision rnust b
Q sought on the battlefield, 1t is nC
d our wish, but we shall not leave tn
field except with honor"
The Allgerneine Zeitung Of Esso
says:
President Wilson seems not to kno
that the smallest appropriation for tt
army requires the sanction of the reicj
stag, the most democratic parliamel
in the world. Yet he, who, unheedir
! the spirit of the American consututio
/ has erected brutal military dictate
! ship in his own country, now presume
TO talk about autocracy in free Ge
many"
