camoufage woven around the German

than II did at the first scanning Of the

President Wilson's cautious procedure

the vista of the Kaiser-being com
fronted with the necessity Of signing
away a vital part of his now auto

In the developments that are bound
to follow the receipt of President Will

Reichstag and the new chancellor
