Diplomats were not slow to see the situation that would be created If "the allies ignore the offer contained in Count Czernin's answer to the Russian terms. ' If the entente governments ignore the Austro-Oerman offers of peace on the basis of no annexations nor indemnities the German government would be in a position to announce her Intention of annexing territory which the German armies have occupied. That Germany has designs on Russian territory has been made apparent while Bulgaria has made no secret of her In tention to annex part of Roumania and naturalised citizen after war was de-1 -- clared and that his affidavit Upon file with the federal offices describes him self as a "subject of Kaiser WUhelm." There was a semi-secret hearing at which Seested obtained his naturalisa tion papers. Shortly after Seested was naturalised, an arrangement was made whereby Colonel' Roosevelt began publish mi series of editorials, syndicated by. the Star., Each of these editorials -contained a veiled attack on the Wilson policies. Thursday's editorial charged that President Wilson is responsible for shortage of supplies for the army, lack c-f guns and prevalence of disease in camps.
