number of anti tank batteries has

Apparently the only problem con-

the strength of the fronts opposed to

TEUTONS' PRESS
SCORES WILSON
GERMANS AND AUsTRiANS DENY
WAR CAN SEPARATE
THEM.

Amsterdam, Feb. 14.-PreSl0ent WIZ
sons latest address, Vienna newspa
pers believe, is calmer in tone than his
earlier declarations and perhaps may
make possible the continuance OF the
exchange of ideas, but they think the
contents of the speech hardly calculat'
ed to bring peace nearer.
The Neue Freie Presse considers
that President Wilson made mistake
in extolling Count Czernin and insists
that Count Czernin and other ministers
always have made clear that any at
tempt to interfere with Austira-Hun-
|gary's international policy would be
inadmissable.
"TRlUMPH FOR cZERNiN"
The Neue Weiner Journal thinks
that there will be some disappoint.
ment in London, Paris and Rome that
President Wilson did not allow him
self to be deferred from replying to
Count Won Hertling and Count Czernin
by the decision of the Versailles coun.
Gil. 1t adds:
1T is great triumph for Czernin's
policy that President Wilson, in full
contradiction to the Versailles deci.
sions, resumes a discussion of war
aims which his entente colleagues
reject"
SAYS STATEMENTS DIFFER
The Hague, Feb. 14.-Discussing
President Wilson's latest message the
semi.official Norddeutsche Allgemine
Zeitung, according to telegram from
Berlin says:
1--WE take note of President Wilson's
assertion that he does not wish to In.
terfere in European dispute, but this
assertion is not entirely reconciliable
with his other statements regarding
the participation of all parties In q dis
cussion Of disputed points.
WILL FIGHT TO END
TT is desirable that Mr.. Wilson re.
turn to the old Monroe doctrine which
formerly was sacred to America. Thus
far his proposals amount simply to an
intention to compel the world to sign
an Anglo-Saxon peace.
after the experiences of this war
with the Anglo-Saxon pow.
ers, nobody will be inclined to sign
such peace, which would not be last.
Ing but would represent the tyranny
Of England and the United States.
Germany and her allies still are dis.
posed toward peace, but will also fight
IN until a peace corresponding to
heir requirements is achieved"
