Wilson Address, However,
Creates "Profound Impres
sion" in Berlin
I?NDOM. Jan. 18. In n special cable
from Amsterdam It is Announced that
ktnomr the German newspapers commenting
ui Pios'ilenl Wilson's speech the Konlsche
Vollts Zettung says:
"One. must bo Btruclc with bllndnc3i If
one docs not feci Hint President Wilson
has ft burn'nu ambition to como forward
as lh.) lender of ft new mankind; that
' America la Interfiled In tho conclusion of
tho war. Thoio li no satisfactory Justifica
tion for the comprehensive prosram of In
ternatlonat activity which President Wll
oli has ftam-l. We consider a moro cf-
feCtlvo nicnni .1 his disposition to Intro
duee his benevolent Influcnco toward ft
tntedy ending of the war."
Tli niiciiilKch-Wcitfnllache EcllunK says:
'Pw a wit!i"i lctnrv means that the
Meat Raln made by the Central Powers,
due to their military bravery, would simp y
bo taken away. It demands n completely
Independent Polar . It means that In
land, liberated by Oerninn Wood, would
to placed In a situation to pursue a policy
hostile to cicrmany."
Tho Journal agrees with to speech con
cerning the demand for tho freedom of tho
teas and sn.v that when President Wil
son speaks of the necessity of great nations
calnlnR direct access to creat sea. routes
he virtually means that llclKlum must re
main In German hands.
After refn rltiB to the miscarriage of Gor
rntttiy's peace offer and accusing ' "
tehte with the deslro to rob tho Central
Powers, the VolKs Zelluns says.
Thlnci are now again assuming ft now
nspect Wo flatly refuse to accept Prcsl-
dent Wilson's watchword. 'Peaco without
victory.' and tho Intolerable pretensions of.
President Wilson's demand for ft united, in
dependent, autonomous Poland. President
Wilson has not served the cause of peace,
despite tho great stress that is laid upon
' hla words duo to his exalted position, words
which nppear to us dictated by an ex
aggerated appreciation or his own person
ality." BERLIN'. Jan. 25. President Wilson's
noto came as a very great surprlso to Ger
many, and created a. deep Impression, which
to define, however, would seem rnther dilll
cult at this early hour. Curiously enough,
the German version was forwnrded from
Vienna tn Ilerlln. where it arrived In tlmo
enough for tho evening papers to print.
Some Ilerlln paper, however, made tbolr
own translations from copies furnished by
Ambassador Gernrd. In nearly every caso
tho Leadline. In largest type. Is "Wilson
for peaco without victory." None of tho
papers offers any comment, which Is due
to tho lato hour of tho speech's arrival.

Jesse Pomeroy, Notorious Boston Mur
derer, Released From Long Soli

BOSTON". Jan. 25 Jesse Pomeroy, who
has been for forty-one years in solitary con
finement In the State prison at Charles
town, has been granted equal privilege
with other prisoners by the Suite Kxecu
tlve Council. Convicted of murder at
fifteen, Pomeroy two years later was locked
In a cell lighted from a window in the
celling so that he might not gaze on his
fellow men. He was exercised apart from
other prisoners and barred, as far as possi
ble, from human companionship. Two years
ago the sentence was enforced less rigor
ously to accord with modern Ideas of prison
reform,
Pomeroy was convicted of tho brutal mur
der of two children.
But he did not drop out of the public
eye. Reports of sensational attempts to
escape, carried through with patient In
genuity rarely found outside of fiction,, be
came publlo at frequent Intervals. His
mother, until her death two yeara ago, never
relaxed her efforts to obtain his pardon,
. and was allowed to visit her son regularly.

TEUTON FORCES PUT
AT 8,000,000 MEN
Net War Loss Only 650,000, Ber
lin Organ Says Can Fight
for Years
nnrtLlN", Jan. 25. Estimating the total
German losses In the ivav.it about 2.000.000,
the National Zeltung. of Perlln, says that
there are available sufficient forces to carry
on the war for several years moro. The
newspaper gives availabto figured of casual
ties, and continues:
"Tho first improssion obtained from these
lists Is that tho number of dead Is rela
tively small, In -view of the fact that so
many powerful offcnslvo campaigns havo
been undertaken, as well ns tho defensive
actions of unheard-of dlllicultles. such as
that of the Somme. This shows that tho
Ocrmans nro moro sparing of their forces
than one believed.
'Nevertheless, tho losses mean an enor
mous bleeding of the nation's liody; but It
is not'so great that Germany will not be
able to carry on tho war for several years
more. If the total losses nro calculated at
2,000,000. tho German reserves would still
number 7.000,000 out of the 9,000,000 with
which tho war was begun.
On tho other hand, large numbers of
young men have reached tho ago of mili
tary service during the war. According to
a conservative calculation. Germany has
had in this way an addition of 1,500.000
to her forces."
Tho Nntlonal Zeltung says that If tho
soldiers who have passed the ago limit
for military service havo been retained
with the colors the net Iohs ns a result of
tho war thus far would be perhaps 650.000,
or, at the most, 1. 000,000, and continues-
"Germany still has at least 8.000,000 men
to use on the front or for the navy, anil
therefore we do not overstate tho caso in
pointing out that Germany, by comparison
Kith the former date (date not given), has
a much larger number of men on tho front.
For a long tlmo to come it cannot be ex
pected that by any possibility the com
pulsory military service will break down
provided the dlitlculties of alimentation do
not become so grest that tho soldiers on the
front also have to suffer for them "

Tho County Hoard refused to grant an
appeal by ex-Mayor William Itlddlo for a

is BALANCED
Balanced that is what
makes Fatima'a blend com
fortable, both while you'ra
smoking and afterward, too.
The milder tobaccos in
this Turkish blend are so
well balanced with the
richer, fuller-flavored leaves
as to entirely off-set all "oily
heaviness" the cause of
discomfort in so many other
cigarettes.
And this very blending
which makes Fatimas so com
fortable (and therefore bo
sensible) is also just what
imparts that unusually good
Fatima taste.
But even so, you alone can
decide whether or not you
like Fatimas. That's easy to
settle try tlicm.

When tho county bonrd leaders found the
