The V'aderland heads its comment
with the title "Wilson's Answer Is
Not Made For Europe.' and says it can
only truly and fully satisfy the Rus-
sian Maximalists for "the central peo-
ples are left no choice but to kick
out their governmenta." This the
newspaper declares reveals a surpris-
ing lack of understanding on the
president's part and that he does not
realize sufficiently the strength of
the intergrowth of the peoples and
the dynasties.
He views the European states as he
does the states of the American union
and only seems to have the most su-
perficial notions of the intricacies of
the European problem the Vaderland
asserts. Its conclusion is as follows:
"This strange document breathes
an atmosphere of Kurope and if we
must wait until it permeates here.
Europe will have t suffer much
longer under a terrible war burden."

"In the progress of our conversa

in Belgium would give king Albert
merely a sham authority and asked
whether it would not be better for
Germanv to forego surh plans and ln

"Perhaps this suggestion was a bait

"When diplomats undertake to ex-

on faulty memory. Discussion of po
litical opinions is oouna to oe transi-
tory and fleeting."

The former chancelor then touched
upon what he regarded as the ethics
of Mr. Gerard's diclosures as com
pared with the European Idea.
"You Americans are an impetuous
people." he said. "You do not seem to
