Berlin, April 15.-Semioff1ci cia
French announcements of the condi-

an article in the TagebIatt, declares
France "forgets that, instead of lead
Ing to disarmament, an unjustly ex-
torted peace will bring forth only
fresh ornaments, throwing into the
shade all former ornaments, because
a mailed fist peace can be main
tanned only by the mailed fist"
Declaring a peace or violence must
be absolutely rejected, he concludes:
Nobody can recommence the wal
against us. Neither can we be
starved out without the common en-
emy, communism and terrorism
throwing all mankind back into its
primitive state"
Can't Sign "Such Terms"
mo German government can sign
such terms" the Vorwaerts declares.
"'The entente statesmen must them
selves settle with the inhabitants OF
the Saar valley. who are thoroughly
German. and they may find that the
sums proposed as indemnity cannot
be extracted, even if the last sheet
is taken from our beds"
The Lokal Anzeiger says:
No more shameless mockery OF
President Wilson's fourteen points
can be imagined than the proposed
solution of the eastern question"
THE solution of the Saar question
which is proposed means the cover
ing of naked annexation with a fig
leaf" says the Boersen Courier. MIR.

American Red Cross to Petrograd and
Warsaw.
