Austria has actically ceased to be an
independent nation and counts as Ger

enemies. whenever she chose to bid again

Austria To Be Abolished
Accordingly. Allied policy has decided
upon the abolition of Austria; certain

Germany VIII Seek Separate Peace

German policy will naturally be to seek
ii separate peace with one of her foes:
with Russia, by consenting 70 a return TO
the conditions of 1914. with possible Aus
trian concessions i'm Galicia and neutral
lied Straits TO meet the Constantlnope
situation; with France TO whom Alsace-

thinkable after recent events. Austrian

Berlin. until the general collapse, unless
the young Emperor shall have the courage
and the strength TO free himself from Ger
many and join with the foes Of his present
ally, an event hardly to be expected.
Now, this political policy calls for never
ending military action. 1t means that the
Allies from all sides must press on and

No Partition Of Germany

am anxious to have my readers see
these circumstances now, because they will
again and again underlie discussions Of
reace and operations Of war until the end
Of the great struggle. The Allies DO not
delude themselves into believing that any
peace which they may impose upon Ger
many will be permanent. They do not ex-
pect to crush Germany and they have no
purpose to partition Germany, aside from
returning Alsace- Lorraine to France and
lberating the~German Poles, because they
realize clearly that such a course would
but breed new conflict.
They recognize that Germany, however
financially exhausted at the end Of the
war. will emerge a great nation with at
least 6O.OOO.O 900 of people and may recover
with the speed that astonshed the world

Prices on Envelopes

Due to the increased cost OF paper,
the United States Government has
found it necessary to advance the
price of stamped envelopes consider
ably The new prices Son business
envelopes which are effective begin
ming today, are said to be practically
entirely due to the increased cost of
paper although on the stamped envel-
opes especially printed for business
houses, a very Osnall percentage of
the increase is due to the high cost
of labor.
Business houses which have been
accustomed to have their return adj
dresses printed upon their envelopes
by the government will find a con-
siderable difference in the prices OF
these henceforth. Envelope No. 5,
plain, two cent, formerly $21 per
1000 are now $21.32 for the same
The same size, especially
printed, formerly priced $21.24 per
1000 are now $21.60.
Envelope No. Is, two cent, plain,
formerly priced $21.0s for 1000, are
now $21.44. The same envelope,
printed, which formerly sold. for
$2132 per 1000 is now $21.74. The
largest business envelope, No. 3. two

HUNT
Defends HALE
/ OF P. U. BOARD
Demands That Investigation
Be Made of Source of
Allegations.
Especial to The Farmer.)


Hartford, Jan. 30-Demanding that
John 81. Hale. Connecticut public ,util-
tiles commissioner and peach king, be
given opportunity to be heard on any
official act of his which has been
questioned, Senator Henry H. Hunt
took up cudgels in his defense today.
Senator Hunt represents the Fourth
distrid and comes from Mr.. Hale's
home town, Glastonbury. He intro
duced a resolution in the Senate call
ing for a joint committee of one Sen
otor and two representatives to in
vestigate a number Of bills aimed at
the public utilities commission and
introduced at this session Of the as
sembly.
In particular Senator Hunt wants
to go into the matter Of a resolution
introduced by Willard B. Rog-
ers, Republican, representative from
Manchester, concerning spur
track which, it is alleged
leads into MT. Hales extensive
which the railroad company laid with
the permission of the utilities COM
mission.
IF Mr.. Hale has used his office as
public utilities commissioner wrong
fully said Senator Hunt, s'or if he
has been guilty of any malfeasance in
office, it ought to be brought to light.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hale enjoys
not only the confidence of his fellow
townsmen and the commission but he
is known throughout the nation. If
there has been nothing which reflects
on the conduct of his Office then this
fact should be given, as much public
ity as has been given to stigmatizing
him under these resolutions"
Senator Hunts resolution for the
joint committee was referred to the
judiciary committee for action, and
arranging. which is satisfactory to Sen
ator Hunt.
Senator K1ett then made public a
letter which Mr.. Hale had sent to him
as means of getting the matter be-
fore the General Assembly. In this
letter Mr.. Hale called attention to
the House resolution and asked that
an inquiry be had on it promptly SO
that he might have the opportunity
to show that there was no basis of
fact under the implications in the
Rogers resolution. Mr.. Hale said he
wished the fullest Inquiry possible to
be made. The senate thereupon

point a sub committee to open an in

Baruch also said he tried to call
Paul M. Warburg over the telephone
during that period but failed. He
never talked over the telephone, with
Secretary Tumulty or discussed the
peace note with him, he said. The
story that he had breakfasted with
Tumulty in the Biltmore hotel, he
said, was ''moonshine."
There is one fact in connection
with this whole matter which has been
very generally overlooked" Baruch
THAT is that the Jap
anese people, than whom there, are no
cleverer in the world, took steps to
close the stock exchange Immediately
following Won Bethmann- Hollwegs
speech"
This action, noted by Baruch on
Dec. 13, increased his desire to sell, he
said.

ket was similar to that here he said.
They don't let them sell short over
there, though"
