BERLIN, January IS Nia London.
January e5).-Thc first impression
made by President wilson's speech. as
reflected in newspaper editorials. is
not an unfricndly one. although the
President Is regarded as having
brought up certain points which the
central powers find it impossible to
concede
'rhc night editions OF the Lokal An
zeircr and the National ZeitunS see
in the entire Wilson move Impractical
idoalism. and characterize the presi-
don't as an animated thcorist." The
speech is called a philosoph ical- thco-
logical work. composed OF beautiful
words which are Immediately dispclled
in fog when an effort is made to dis
cover practical meaning of them.
The Auzeiccr says. i'll part:
The President Of the United states
has not allowed the unfortunate result
Of his first official steps peaceward To
divert him from his ideas. Since his
efforts along practical lines fell upon
stony ground. he turns with the pas
sion OF an enthusiastic theorist TO the
discussion OF ideas and principles. lie
has not succeeded IN controlling what
energy he. goes in for a discussion OF
what should or might be. His remarks
70 the Senate. even in their outward
form IN construction, sentiment and i'll
the repeated temperatures Of philoso-
phical and historical allusion. bear
plainly the stamp Of an idealistic work.
But II their contents are tested, II is
more and more sharply recognizable
that they lack appreciation not only
OF actual condition, but OF political pos
sibslitcs.
"'rhc entire train Of thought is in
tended for American readers. Re
Sardcd from this standpoint, il shows
how thoroughly Americans lack AN
exact knowledge OF war conditions and

ALL PEACE: EFFORTS
Try Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
LONDON, January 25.-Rcuter's Am
Stcrdum correspondent sends Il Buda-
pest dispatch giving the reply of Count
stephen Tisza. the Hungarian Premier.
To Il question put by a member of the
opposition party in Parliament concern
ing President Wilson's address TO the
Senate.
Pursuant to our peaceful policy be-
fore the war and our attitude during
the war, as we'll as our recent peace
action" Count TisZa is quoted as hay
ing said, I'VE can only greet with
sympathy every effort aiming at tho
restoration OF peace. We are. there
fore, inclined To continue further cX-
change OF views regarding peace with
the United States government. The
exchange must naturally occur in
agreement with our allies.
I'm view OF tho fact that President
Wilson in his address makes certain
distinctions between our reply and our
enemies reply, | must especially state
that the puadruplc alliance declares IL
il inclined to enter into peace negotia-
tons, but that at the same time IL
will propose terms which. in it's Gpin-
ion. az, acceptable for their enemy and
calculated TO serve us basis for n
lasting peace.
ION the other hand, the conditions OF
peace contained in our enemies reply
to tho United States are equivalent at
least to the disntegration of our
monarchy and Of the Ottoman empire.
This amounts TO an official announce
ment that the war aims at our dcstruc-
ton. and We are, therefore, forced to
resist with our utmost strength as long
as this is the war aim. Of our enemies"

 HOME ON FORL0UGH
Pine Bluff Roy Wins Prizes by iPhysi- cal Prowess, and Ks Delighted
 With Naval Services.

w. H. Elder, son of w. E. Elder, prominent lumber man of this city, is at home from the naval training station Chicago, Ill.,, srending ten days furlough with his parents.
 MT. Elder is very enthusiastic abo'lu the navy and the methods employed in training young men to become future defenders of their country, should t become necessary. While at the sta ton, he went in for athletics, boxing being his choice, and for eleven bouts he has to his credit nine decisions and two draws. A medal was awarded him by the athletic association of Chicago for a three-round exhibition affair.
 He is member of Company 3-1, seaman apprentices. This company was awarded the boxing efficiency cup after competition with members of the other companies of apprentices, not that boxing is the only form of athletics encouraged in the service but this particular sport seemed 70 appeal to MT Elder and having access to one of the best gyms ill the country at the training station, and at the same time being of sound physique, he naturally fitted in.
 He expects to leave Chicago about March 20 for Philadelphia, Pa, with his and other companies, to await the commissioning of Uncle Sam's latest super r-dreadnaught, the U. s. g. Mis- sisssippi. Mir. Elder was one of the 500 apprentices that visited Washing ton, D. C., to partake in the inaugur- al parade: He saw the president and visited many places of interest while there.
 He says that he is absolutely satis- fled with conditions at the station and finds everything there as represented to him by those to whom he made in quiries before enlisting. There are more young men from this city at the training station, namely, Charlie Per ryman, Monroe l.. Smith, and Louis Cone. These boys are likely to be heard from in the future. The re- cruiting office in this city is located in Room 8, postoffice building, where any information in regard to the ser- vice in general may be had.

G|NNERS PERMIT SEED TO MIX, AND
 MUST PAY S328

Nearly all of yesterday was taken up in the circuit court in the trial of the suit of William Brooks vs. Wood & Clcmons owners of g gin at Grady, over the question of liability of the gin owners for damage because of permitting seed. prizcd as a variety fer planting, to become mixed with seed of an inferior variety.
 Brooks alleged that the defendants had agreed to keep separate the seed of his cotton, valued at $60 a ton, but that they had permitted 26.9 tons to become mixed with other seed, worth less as to variety" He asked jud3- ment for $1614.
 The jury, out one hour and 15 minutes, returned verdict for plain tiff for $32S, finding this to be the difference in value between the Mel zane Triumph variety at $60 a ton and the S44 per ton common seed was worth at the mills, and that 2Ca tons of the better grade seed had been mixed with the inferior.
 Judgment for defendant was ren- dered by jury in the suit of Thal-- heimer Horse and Mule company ys. St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway company, an action based on claim for alleged damages because of injury to stock transported by the defendant company.
 C. D. Guest was excused by Judge w. B. Sorrells from further service as a petit juror and J. K. Parker em- paaeled.

Washington, March 1S.-Turkey has abandoned her attempt to draw from the United States recognition of her abrogation of the capitulations under whcih Americans in the Ottoman em- pire are subject to the laws of their own country. Ambassador Elkus at Constantinople has cabled the state department to this effect, in announc- ing that Turkey has consented to ac- ccpt temporarily" the four American consuls transferred from Germany to points in Turkey, and whose exequa- turs were issued by Turkey without the form entitling them to act as extra territorial Judges to try American citizens. The consuls will have such rights as in the past.
