Wilson Speech to
Move Parliament

LONDON, Feb. l2-President VIII
sons address is given the same promi.
nence that all his uttcrances receive IN
the morning papers, but the text
reached the newspapers too lae for
more than perhnctory comment on a
few outstanding sentences, The presi-
dents attitude toward the speech Of
Count Won Hertling receives the main
attention and In this the president is
regarded as having gone to the heart
of the matter,
In the address the Times sees an
important refutation OF the bolshevlk
illusion that Prussan militarism eau
be exercised BY rhetoric" and com
mends the serene confidence with which
President Wilson adheres to the elief
that the war will not end without cstab-
ing the reign of right and Justice,
The Daily News believes that it was
not an accident that the presidents
reply to Won Hertling and Coun,
Czernin was delivered on the eve OF a
new session OF the British parliament
and thinks that its significance will not
be lost on the house Of commons.

Hundred Plead
With Mayor to
Cut Gas Bills
~ Can't Pay Any Bills But My
Own" Is Answer Of Har-
raSSed Official,

Mayor A. Overholser has become the
champion Of all persons who have re-
ceiyed a gas bill which they believe too
much for the amount Of gas received
during the month Of January. lie has
received a hundred or more telephone
calls from persons asking him TO ad-
just their bills for them, and almost
that many persons have called at his
office in the city hall and asked him
to help them in their fight against pay
ing the bills
IL wish there was some way TO let
everyone know that | cannot adjust gas
bills, nor pay any gas bill other than
my own" said the mayor today. for all
of these calls for adjustment OF gas
bills are taking up much of my time
with no possible results.
Whenever they ask me about their
gas bills refer them to Charles Selby,
who has filed the case against the gas
company before the state corporation
commission"

RUSSIA PEACE IS
NO GREAT MENACE
TO ALLIED ARMS
"WeStem Line viii Hold, De-
spite Foe ReinforCementS, "
U. S. OWED 1877 MILLIONS
America Not Afraid Of In
creased German Power,

WASHINGTON, Feb. l2-How
Russia's complete withdrawal from the
war will affect the allies and the United
States in a military way. cannot be ac-
curately estimated at this time. Off
cials believe, despite the fact that on
paper the Russian collapse would seem
TO give the Germans a great numerical
superiority Of troops on the western
Hont.
Officially there is nothing to be said
on the subject because the government
has no official information. Probably
no definite official pronouncement Of
how il affects the situation could be
made anyway without agreement among
all the co-beligerents and that is con-
sidered unlikely.
Owes U. S. 1877 Million.
Russia at this time owes the United
States SlS7,77oOOO advanced for sup
plies which already have gone 10 Rus
sia. For that sum the government holds
Russian bonds. Whether this vast sum
will he a total loss to the United States
depends on whether the ultimate gov
ernment in Russia decides to repudiate
the debt A credit OF S2S,000,0OO was
established at the treasury for Russia
but only Sl87,779.0O0 was used when
payments were stopped.
Allied Line Will Hold.
Military men, however, confident that
the allied line on the western front will
hold against any force that can be
thrown against it, profess not TO regard
the Russian separate peace as the me-
mace It would appear on paper.
The fact that 100000 German and
Austrian prisoners will be freed to re-
turn to Germany is regarded with no
alarm at all, Military men say they
could not he quickly re-organired into
efficient military units The general
opinion here is that Germany would be
more interested in keeping the prisoners
in Russia rather than risk having them
carry bolsheyik doctine back to Ger
many.
Must Keep Garrison There.
The l47 Austro-G German and Bulgar
divisions on the Russian front which
will entirely be released by a separate
