REFERS TO LATE NEGOTIATIONS
WITH RUSSIA AT BREST- LlTOVSk

Amsterdam, Jan. 25.--In his address
before the reichstag main committee
yesterday, Chancellor Won Hertling re-
ferred to the negotiations with the
Russians at Brest- -Litovslz. saying he
held fast to the hope that a good con-
clusion would be arrived at. He con-
tinued:
"Our negotiations with the Ukrain-
ian representatives are in a more fav-
cradle position. Here too difficulties
have yet to be overcome but the pros
poets are favorable. We hope short
ly to reach conclusions which will be
economically advantageous.
"One result, gentlemen, might be
recorded as YOU all know. The Rus
SLAMS last month proposed TO issue an
invitation to all the belligerents TO
participate in the negotiations. Russia
submitted certain proposals of a very
general character. At that time we
accepted the proposal TO the belli-
gerents to take part in the negoti
tions on the condition, however that
the proposal should have a definite
period for its acceptance. At 10
o'clock on the evening of January 4
the period expired. No answer had
come and as a result we were no long
hand for separate peace negotiations
with Russia. Neither were we longer
bound, of course, by the general peace
proposals sumbitted to us by the Rus
sian delegation

Imperial Chancellor Con-
tended Was Teuton Ter
ritory by Right.
Bv FORCE.
ASSERTS IN SPEECH
Says Position of European
Countries After War Will
Solve Armament Question

Berlin, via London, Jan. 25.-Count
Won Hertling, the imperial German
chancellor in his address before the
main committee of the reichstag to-
day said the question of the limlta-
ton of armaments was quite open 70
discussion. The chancellor added that
the final position of all European
countries after the war would probably
operate most effectively for the solu-
ton OF this problem.
Count Won Hertling contended that
Alsace- Lorraine was almost purely
German territory which had been sew
cred from Germany by violence. When
German. in 1870 claimed the land
thus criminarlly wrung from her,
it was not the conquest of alien ter
ritory. the chancellor declared, buS
what today is called Instrumentation.
The chancellor declared that Ger
many did not wish annexations b.
violence but that the question OF
Northern France could be discussed
only by France and Germany.
He asserted there could be no talk
of the cession of Alsace- Lorraine.
The chancellor demanded that the
leaders of the nations at war with
Germany set forth new proposals. The
terms outlined by President Wilson
and Premier Lloyd George cof1taine
certain principles which could be ac-
cepted by Germany, he said, but the
concrete proposals were unsatisfac-
tory.
There is no difference between Ger
many and President Wilson regarding
the freedom of the seas, Count Won
Hertling said. He added that the
thorough freedom of navigation dur
ing the time of war, as well as III
peace, was one OF Germany's main de-
mands. 1t being eminently important
for future free navigation that Eng
land should be made to relinquish heI
strongly fortified points of support or
international sailing routes such as
Gibraltar Aden,- Hong Kong, and the
Falkland Islands.

WAR RATIONS have been pre-
seribed by President Wilson in a proc
laTnatiOn issued last week Wheat con-
sumption is to be reduced thirty per
cent by requiring all manufacturers to
consume but seventy per cent of the
wheat they used in 1917. Household
ers are urged to cooperate and use
less wheat. From now on there will
be two wheatless days. Monday and
Wednesday, with a wheatless meal
each day: meatless day, Tuesday.
with a meatless meal each day, and
two porkless days. Tuesday and Sat

form of other cereals in making bread
are urged. and the absolute necessity
Of no waste is again forcibly empha
sized.
A ZONE SYSTEM has been adopted
by the fuel administration. The soft
coal fields have been divided into TWEEN
ty zone in order that the shipment Of
coal to the consumer may be expedited
Cross hauling win be eliminated and

pected This does not affect the an
thracite production, which Is conferred
in q narrow part of the state of Penn

reserves in these zone centers this
summer to prevent repetition Of the
coal famine Of this winter.
TIE FUEL RESTRICTION of the
past week achieved two of the three
results desired. namely: Homes in the
East have received coal, a1d empty
bunlIers have been flied, allowing a
resumption of the overseas transporta-
tion. The third end is being attained
