TOO EARLY FOR PEACE TALK

The rlpurte of negotiations for peace between the
present of Russia and the Teutonc powers
goes to show that as yet there is common ground or
which the nations may get together to arrange peace
The German proposals. while said to be without an
nexatons amount to virtual annexation of large parts
of Russia to Germany and Austria Military occupation
would lead surely to annexation in the future, and all
men can see that.
And even were the doctrine of annexations
agreed to by the Teuonc powers it would not be eccep
able to the Allies Not of them would consent to
without saying and any treaty Of peace without
1exations" would mean about that.
The futity Of the present effort put lorth by the
Eliminates the peace proposition vastly demonstrates
that the general dstrust of German professions is found
ed right well and that until that disposition of the Ger
official mind is cured completely there is small hope
for peace.

But they were unable to break
down the splendid team work of

Aliens Enemy Question
Alone Now BOthers U. S.
By Victor Elliott, Interna-
tional News Staff Correspon-
dent.

Washington, January 81
Though pushed through both
branches of Congress and SUBJ
sequently signed and made law
in quicker time than any similar
bill for several years, the Aus
trian war resolution required
very little debate or adjustment
because it was not the first time
the United States has declared
war and had been practically
prepared.
When the United States de-
clared war upon Germany, the
Government naturally was re-
quired to study the problem
from all sides because of the
enormous work necessary to
raise an army and otherwise
place the country on a war
basis. Now, after several
months preparation and work.
the war machine of the country
is well under way and prepared
in practically all ways for the
war with Austria.
The addition of Austria to the
enemies of the United States
viii make little or no difference

 The manifestations of the angels of mercy over there have caused thou sands of soldiers to thank God that and the work of the women over here has been of equal importance. In DO other war has the work of the women been recognized as an essential factor in winning victory. In no other war has such an effective organization of women been undertaken.
 It has been 8 work that has been twice blessed. for those who have giv- on and for those who have received and these wondrous 1abors of love show that the ''one touch" has still the power to make the whole world kin Women from every section have, in their interest for one country, one flag, been knit together with a daunt- less unity that shall be the glorious wonder of the grateful ages
 Gratitude wells high in the hearts of thousands of women today who have caught higher vision, thank fulness for the spirit of cooperation, the spirit of unselfishness manifested throughout the country and for a readjustment of ideals, both personal and national.
 No organization has filled more important part in war work than the Mothers congress. Representatives have been appointed near every camr at home and abroad to 'mother" and look after the interest of the soldier boys In many homes where the star in the service flag has been changed from service blue to the golden blue, mothers have adopted other mothers sons to mother, finding as is always the case, work the greatest boon for an aching heart
