LIVERPOOL COTTON MAN
PREDICTS LONG STRUGGLE
A, J, BuStOn Thinks Austria
Alone Is in Mood for
Negotiations

That there are no signs of peace and
that the peace addresses now going the
rounds are all mistakes except as they
might show Austria the error of her
way i'm not breaking away from Ger
many and behaving herself, was the as
sertion Of A J. Buston. of the A. J..
Buston company, big cotton importers
of Liverpool, England who spent Thurs
day in Atlanta.
Mr.. Buston, who is well known in the
south, especially i'm Atlanta, has been
in the United States now for about a
month in connection with matters con-
corning his firm. He crossed the At
lantic on the last complete trip of the
Cunard line steamer, Tuscania,s which
was sunk a week ago while carrying
over two thousand American troops to
Europe. Mr.. Buston will leave Atlanta
Thursday night for Savannah, where
he now has several thousand bales Of
cotton waiting shipment. He will re-
turn to Liverpool a few days later
Mr.. Buston Thursday said it was all
war in England and that things were
moving slowly but becoming more sure
He declared that the country has a big
army and is dotted with military camps
the same as the United States and that
the people are confident of the defeat of
Germany.
Il think the talk of peace now heard"
Mr.. Buston said, "is mistake for in

SAY WILSON WILL
GET RESULTS WITH
APPEAL TO AUSTRIA
All That Is Needed Is to I'M
press That Country With
Our Ability to Wage War to
a Finish

WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-President
Wilson's effort to get separate peace
with Austria will win. if he convinces
the Teutons that he and America are
in earnest in the war.
Officials of the government whose po-
Sitons for many years have made them
the intimates of Europeans-particula
ly Austrlans and Germans-said today
the only chance of the president failing
lay in Austrias belief that the presi-
dent was only blutiing about the war.
1T is clear enough to our American
minds that he means business as TO the
war TO a finish if necessary; he must
get that into Austrian minds" said one
high official. once that knowledge
sinks into the Austrian mind, and You
will lind that the presidents political
offensive is a success.
Indications are that, despite German
press camCuhage, the Germans and the
Austrian military leaders know we'll that
American war plans are built on large
lines and that the American spirit is
one of determination.
American government authorities re-
gret that the appearance of anything
controversial should be injected into the
Austrian problem by reason of the Brit
ssh attitude toward the Czernin speech.
Hereafter, it is possible, some consul
tation Of ENJOYS will be had in advance
so that there may not be an aftermath
OF discussion, such as at present, indi-
eating a difference of viwpoint and of
action toward Austria. The British are
not strong for the political propaganda
offensive; President Wilson believes it
en- be made very affective if all play it
toget her.
