BITTERLY ATTACK
PRESIDENT WILSON
...BERLIN, April 4 (Via Sayville).
Bitter personal attacks on President
Wilson and a repudiation of the dis
tinction he drew between the German
people and the German government
were features of the comments which
German newspapers made on the
president's address to Congress. He
is accused of dishonesty, bad faith
and envy of Germany. The papers
generally express the belief that the
entry of the United States will not
turn the tide of the war.

of appreciation to Uarry Gartner, sec

people the Germans and Dutchmen
make. I certainly am proud of your
offer.
