of financing and manipulation that

Fran Kopfer came to Leipzig at the

a small office. She purchased arti

great profit. It was but a abort time

concern. Almost unbelievable div
idends were paid by this great com
pany. Fran Kupfer forged contracts
for army food and as her business
grew, she established smuggling con
cerns. Her brancn store in Benin
was always filled with foods.
This, the rich people of Berlin
bought willingly at extortionate
prices. Hotels bid for a chance to
purchase her products. She began
quietly obtaining enormous sums on
her promises for future delivery,
then she was trapped by the police.
Careful search was made today

The president Is now waiting to
hear how his pronouncement is re

anticipate objections. But he feels,
as was the case with his first note
to the warring nations, that after the
message has had time to seep Into
the minds of the governments and of
the peoples concerned, it will appeal
more and more strongly. He believes
it will sdd materially to the momen

PARIS CRITICISES
'Berlin's first

hourly."
Paris, Jan. 21. The French press
is critical today of President Wilson's
address to the American senate. All
editorials agree in the general be
lief that his message is not without
merit, but adjudge it Ctopian because
it Is to be applied to Germany and
pan-Germanism.
In well informed circles it was re
garded as most surprisng "that Wil
son still does not recognize the crim
inal from the victim."
Officials who privately expressed
this view held that the American
president's international lsw scheme
would parallel the ordinary commer
cial venture.
The Marin's comment was typical.
"We agree with the principles Wil
son has enunciated," the editorial
said, "but there Is a portion of hu
manity on which the fact must be
forcefully Impressed that It is mere
delusion to think that persuasion can
be effective."
'The declaration moves In the
serene domain of theories," declared
the Echo de Paris. "Our friends
across the Atlantic Imagine our conn
try Invaded and bleeding, must feel
and will understand, It Is Impossible
for us to Join unreservedly la this
voyage Into the axure."
te Journal declared:
"President Wllwn Is haunted with
the fixed Idea of Inaugurating the
golden aie of universal brother
hood."
"As it I Impossible to eliminate
Ormsnr." commented Ie Figaro,
"there Is no chance of bringing this

president expects to get the needed
support for his program.
The president did not prepare his
address suddenly. On portions of it
he had worked "for many days"
'Many of the Ideas he has voiced be
fore. Such phrases ss "government
derived sll their Jut powers from
the consent of ths governed." echo
from previous utterances in which
he said "lasting peace was only pos
sible when powers of making war .
rested with the people snd not alone j
in select groups of men."
But it was not until he received :
replies from the central and entente j
power that the president apparent)- j
became convinced If the war ia io
end equitably, without the sting of,
resentment snd "fires of hste" re-j
mainlng. the liberals of the world
must bring It to pass; the liberals of !
the world and not divine nght i
monarch must bring it about.
His declaration that there could ;
not be a vlctoriou peace, was drawn I
from the declaration of all belliger-1
enta that they do not wish to crush
their enemies. They resulted In hi :
appeal to "friend of every program
of libertv for "concelon and sacri
fice," and the appeal carried urh
"lrberal"pbrases as "mankind 1 look
ing for freedom of life, not for equi
poises of power," and "there can be !
no stability where the will Is in re-!
bellion."
The address Itself waa received 1
with wide difference of opinion In
both official and diplomatic circles
here.

lief that Germany would Immediately ,
approve it. j
In entente circles the speech w
described as "slightly pro;Germn." ,

In the proceeding. As a matter of
fact the president does not expect
anything from congress. He used the
senate s counsel with whom and
through whom to discus with the ;
American people what he has In mind
a the baaln for a peace which this
country will tiark up.
