 The appeal was addressed "alI those. in enemy or neutral countries who represent the ideas of justice aEd the right of national self-de- yelopmcnt." The message contin- ued:
 "The most prominent and most powerful of those is President Will son. That he does not content him self with the original armistice re- Quirements for evacuation of oc- cupied territories, but has agreed to ne awful conditions imposed, is grimly portenttous and proDably will weaken his own influence in the extraordinary peace conference.
