aIlly Talk About duck"

One of the many ways In which the individual unwisely ecllpses himself, is in his worship of the fetish of luck. He feels that all others are lucky and that whatever he attempts, falls. He does not realize the untirlng energy, the unremltting concentration, the heroic courage, the sublime patience that is the secret of some mems sue cess. Their "luck" was that they had prepared themselves to be equal to their opportunity when 1t came and were awake to recognize 1t and re- ceive it.-William George Jordan.

A Careful Perusal Will Prove Its Value to Every

WILSON SEEKS
WAR MEASURE
ON ARMY LEGiS-
LATioN FORECAST By CON-
FERENCE CALL

Washington, D. c., Feb. 11.-There
are signs in official quarters that
President Wilson Is seeking to find a
way out of the controversy between
the executive and the senate over
war efficiency reorganization, and that
he desires an agreement with the
legislative branch.
The president will call into con-
ference this week a number of senate
leaders, and, contrary to his usual
custom, he will invite republican as
we'll as democratic leaders.
TO EXPLAIN HIS BILL
The president will explain why he
sent to the senate the bill introduced
by Senator Overman, which would au-
thorize him to coordinate branches of
the government and to transfer func-
lions and personnel from one agency
to another The president, 1t is I'M
derstood, will make plea for non
partisanship which republican leaders
are ready to assure him will be grant.
ed It also is believed that he will
urge republican leaders to support the
Oyerman bill or measure similar to
it.
REPUBLICANS TIC COOPERATE
The president is expected to make
a plea for expeditions consideration
of various war measures, including
the railroad bill, war finance corpora
ton bill, and perhaps some other
measures.
Republican leaders stand ready to
cooperate on all wise war legislation
and in party conference de-
termined to take no concerted party
action against any measures proposed
by the administration.
Some Of the republicans who favor
a war cabinet and director of NUM-
lions are opposed to the Oyerman bill
as it has been presented.
COMPROMISE FORESEEN
Critics of the administration war de-
velopment policy see in the call for a
non-partisan senate conference a
hopeful sign that the president is
Welding to the countrywide demand
for intelligent reorganization and
Capitalization of war agencies. They
believe, unless the president stands
out too firmly for some definite plan,
that an effective plan may be worked

ing doubted. This doubt was later
found by the Russisns themselves to
be we'll founded and Germany was
charged by Trotzky with masking ter
ritorial ambitions under her specious
Interpretation of the doctrines of self
determination.
RUSSIA DiSINTEGRATEs
Notwithstanding this, however, the
negotiations were continued. Mean
while Russia was fast splitting up.
District after district declared it's in
dependence, Finland and Ukraine be-
ing the notable examples. The
Ukraine opened separate negotiations
with the central powers and these
eliminated last Saturday in the sign
ing of peace agreement. The boil.
sheviki had not recognized the au-
thority Of the Ukraine to treat for
itself through the representatives Of
the rada, but apparently Germany
and her allies saw an opening for
forcing a peace through the insertion
Of the Ukrainian wedge.
DETAILS ARE LACKING
Whether the elimination Of the
Ukrainian negotiations in q peace
treaty was the determining factor in
inducing the bolsheviki to declare the
state Of war at an end is not at all
clear as yet. The adviees from both
Russia and Germany regarding the
later stages Of the negotiations with
Trotzky and his fellow delegates to
the conference have been extremely
meager.
Some important decision regarding
the situation in the east was reached
by the German rulers at a recent
crown council and it may be the eff
feet of this unrevealed determination
that has shown itself in the events Of
the last few days at tho scene Of the
parleying.
MEANS RUSSIAN SURRENDER
1t has been made fairly clear, how
ever that Germany had no idea Of
yielding to the bolsheviki on the Ques-
ton of evacuation Of Russian occu-
pied territory which had been the
sticking point in the negotiation and
that she was preparing virtually to |
ignore the bolsheviki as long as she
could make peace with the Ukraine |
and secure the opening Of the from
tiers to the rich grain-growing prov
inces controlled even nominally by
the Ukrainians.
