U. S.. FIGHTS FOR DEMOCRACY
BY J. w. T. MASON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Immediately
following the refusal Of the German
militarists to offer Russia peace
based upon President Wilson's four
fundamental points of the self determ.
ination of nationalities, Count von
Hertling has now turned to the west
en powers, and expressed qualified
approval of President Wilson's atti.
tude.
No trust can be placed in the Ger
man chancellor's generalities, because
they are contradicted by the imperial
istic policy of the Germans at Brest-
Litovsk, constituting the first peace
conference of the war. Count Won
Hertling may be willing to subscribe
to limited self determination in the
west, but there is nothing to indicate
that he will accept the principle in
the east.
for the preservation of democracy in
Russia as well as for the establish
ment of democracy by the central
powers. 1t would be highly detriment-
al to the future relations between the
eastern and western democracies if
actual events were to show the slight
confirmation of Leon Trotsky's recent
declaration to the United Press that
the western powers are prepared to
sacrifice Russia to Germany in order
to secure concessions for themselves.
Connt Won Hertling may be trying
to foster this suspicion in Russian
minds by his latest peace address to
the world. His protestations of fund
amental agreement with President
Wilson's four points, if logically ap-
piled, would mean a formal repudia-
tion by the German chancellor of the
Hindenburg militaristic clique that
controlled the Brest-Litovsk negotia-
tions and directed the subsequent i'm
perialistic operations. No such an
tagonism as this between Won H ort-
ling and Won Hindenburg has been in
any way confirmed. 1t is, therefore,
impossible to take the chancellor's
peace words at their full meaning.

JASPER, Tenn, Feb. 2S.---All wheat
in this (Marion) county is looking
good, according to the county agent,
