Germany Is Cursed.
On the night that the supplementary

sheviki headquarters was a seethtns

No sane observer can fail to see that
Russia is striken nation. Suffering.
humiliation, defeat, starvation and mis-
cry are everywhere. The cry for peace
is universal. Torn by nine months of
revolution. class struggle and internal
strife, Russia has suffered beyond the
point of endurance and is absolutely
incapable of conducting war with an
external enemy. Every element in Rus

it may seem. the inteIlectuals, estate
owners and the leisure class actually
utter such sentiments as. "Oh give us

ROME. January 1.-THE text of
President Wilson's address before the
American Congress only reached here
about midnight Wednesday. Senator'S
and deputies who still fingered in the
senate chamber read the dispatches
eagerly and had words of admiration
for the Presidents comprehensive
grasp Of the situation.
A prominent statesman remarked
that President Wilson had been able
to complete the idealization Of the
program set forth by Premier Lloyd
George by outlining an arrangement
for a new society OF the civilized ma

BITTERLY HOSTILE

Even More "Brutap' Than

Says One German Paper.
DETERMINED TO FIGHT ON

Initial comment in the Austrian and
German press on President Wilson s
message Is bitterly hostile. His pro-
gram is declared to be unacceptable, and
one pan-Gerran paper says 1t is more
brutal still'' than the recent statement
of Premier Lloyd George. The President
Ids accused of desiring to hinder the
Brest-Litovsk negotiations, and Vienna
newspapers declare that his peace condi-
tions are such as could only. be imposed
on the central powers if they were de-
feated completely.

AMSTERDAM. January 1.-THE
Nachrichten of Dusseldorf rejects Presi-
dent Wilson's proposition as utterly un-
acceptable, and says that discussion is
useless.
1T may be hard" it says, after
three years of war. but a decision must
be sought on the battlefield. 1t is not
our wish. but we shall not leave the

The Allgemeine Zeitung of Essen
says: President Wilson seems not to
know that the smallest appropriation
for the army requires the sanction of
the reichstag. the most democratic par
lament in the world. Yet he. who, un-
needing the spirit of the American Con-
stitution. has erected brutal military
dictatorship in his own country. now
presumes to talk about autocracy in
free Germany"
Sees a New Barrier.
The Neues Weiner Journal argues
that President Wilson's demand for the
restitution of Alsace-Lorraine erects a
new barrier.
Die Zeit also declares that this de-
reference with the monarchy's affairs
is inadmissible, but notes with joy that
the enemy is coming down."

paper. 80 help on the moderation a

0vERMAN BILL is PASSED
BY SENATE, VOTE SO TO 10
Gives President Authority to Co-Ordi-
nate and Reorganize Government
Departments During War.

Washington, April 3O.-Rejecting
all amendments designed to limit the
presidents authority, the senate
passed the Overman bill, with it's gen
eral grant of power for the executive
to coordinate and reOrganiZe govern
ment departments and other agencies
during the war.
The vote on the measure, which
now goes to the house, was SO to 10,
many senators who opposed the adj
ministratiOn in the long fight over pro-
posed amendments joining the major
ity when the test came on final pas
sage.
Only one Democrat, Senator Reed
of Missouri, voted against the bill. Re-
publicans who voted against it were:
Brandegee, Cummins, Dillingham;,
France, Gallinger, Harding, Johnson
(CaD, Knox, Poindexter, Sherman,
Sterling, Sutherland
The only amendments added in the
senate were accepted by Senator
Overman, in charge of the bill. One
by Senator WadsWorth Of Kew York,
Republican, would authorize the pres
ident to centralize authority over the
aviation program in one executive Of
ficer, and another by Senator Jones,
Republican, of Washington, limits the
effect of reOrganiZatiOnS made under
the bill to six months instead of one
year after the war.
AS passed by the senate, the meas
ure authorizes the president to make
such redistribution Of. functions
among executive agencies as he may
deem necessary" and to utilize, CO.
ordinate and consolidate any eXecu-
tive or administrative commissions,
bureaus, agencies, offices or officers
now existing by law, to transfer any
duties or powers from one existing
department or to transfer the person
mel thereof" These powers, however,
"shall be exercised only in matters
relating to the conduct Of the pres
ent war"
The measure also provides that if
the president believes any agency
should be abolished he shall report to
congress, and congress will arrange
for transfer of appropriations in any
reorganization, limiting their eXpen-
diture to the purposes specified by
congress.
