GERMAN PEACE ADVANCES
REJECTED BYLLOYD GEORGE !.
AS SHOWING NO SINCERITY
PRESIDENTS SPEECH MOVE
TO FRUSTRATE GERMANY
Determined to Inform People of Central Empires of
United States Stand on Vital Issues
of the War.

A small army Of over anxious inter-
prefers here have read into the address
a retraction Of the fourteen specific
points lie enumerated as peace terms
January g. and an invitation for tho
Central Powers TO hurry negotiations.
No such thought was In the Presidents
mind. II was stated, his whole idea being
to contrast the positions Of the German
Government, the Austrian Government
and the German people.
Csernin Text QuestiOued.
A feature Of the discussion In official
fact that President wilson's interpret,-
tlon OF what Count Czernln had said
did not seem to conform with the text
Of the Austro-IIungarian message as
made. public informally by the state pa
partment The President said: "tlo
(Count Czernin) sees that an independ-
ent Poland made up Of all the indis-
putably Polish peoples who lie corr
tiguous to one another IS matter Of
European concern and must OF course
be conceded that Belgium must be
evacuated and restored. no matter what
sacrifices and concessions that may in
volve." &c.
There has been some reason ia be-
lieve that Count Czernin entertained
these views. but in the text OF the speech
as communicated to the State Depart
ment he said:
"If shall now be allowed to discuss
these proposals in greater detail I must
say two things In advance. AS far as
these proposals relate to our allies. and
in them there Is mention of the Ger
man holding of Belgium and the Turkish
Empire. declare that faithful to the
duties OF the alliance which ! have al.
cepted I am determined to go to every
extreme in defence OF our alies."
But Count Czernin. II Is pointed ous,
did not say he would defend "Germaa
holding Of Belgium"
President Wilson obtained the correct
text. 1t is regarded here as possible
that Lloyd George has had only the
censored version.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1e.--President Will
sons address before Congress yesterday
was made primarily to frustrate the Ger
man Governments deliberate efforts to
misrepresent before the people Of Ger
many and Austria the stand which the
United States has taken on vital war Is
sues. 1t had no secret. subtle motive.
This explanation was forthcoming to-
day from responsible men. as the Pres.-
dents address apparently has created
widespread comment based on diver
gence Of views as to what the President
Presidents since the war began has led
TO so much confusion as to it's purposes.
This was even more apparent to-day
than yesterday at the Capitol. Some Of
tho most astute Senators on both sides
privately admitted they were utterly at
sea as to the exact purpose underlying
the message.
Differ From Lloyd George.
While conceding the lofty tone Of tho
address there were many who confessed
TO be unable to see that the speeches Of
Count Czernin. the Austro-Hungarian
Foreign Minister. and Count Won Hert-
ling, the Imperial German Chancellor,
had called for a reply at this time. The
fact that Lloyd George in the House of
Commons failed to share fully the Presi-
dents view as TO the difference between
the attitude of Count Won Hertling and
Count Czernin indicated in the opinion
Of some either that this Government has
possession of Information which has not
yet reached Great Britain or that the
the situation Is not absolutely in accord.
Lloyd George sees q difference in tone
between the German and Austrian
speeches, but deprecates the idea that
there Is any difference in substance or
that any result can be hoped for by
counting on what the Austrian Foreign
Minister said.

EnrOIImentS VIII

Mrs. E. NJ. Lier who has charge Of
the enrolment Of students for the
Elementary Hygiene and Home
Care Of the Sick course, offered by
the Cass county chapter, American
Red Cross, again wishes to call the
attention of Fargo women to the
fact that enrollments for new classes
will be received Tuesday.
Mrs. Lier will be at the Cass coun-
ty headquarters, in the basement Of
the Gardner hotel, from 10 until 6
o'clock, Tuesday to make the nee
essary arrangements for those who
care to take the work, and arrange
for a time to start classes. The best
work can be done with a class mem
bership OF not less than Is nor more
than 20 and it is desired that the
required number enroll Immediate
" so that work can be begun at
once. New quarters for this class
have been prepared in the Masonic
temple and 1t is felt that much more
can be accomplished here than in
the small quarters the class has re-
Gently used at the Y. w. G. A. build
ing. On account of recent ruling
that women completing this course
may be accepted as nurses aids for
active duty in France, an increased
interest has been taken in this work.
Dr.. Arson. B. Cameron of Chicago,
who was in Fargo, acting as judge
of the Better Babies contest, is high
ly in favor Of this work and in COM
menting upon it said, 1T Is wonder
full the way the women in the cities
have responded to the call to take
up this course and the benefic-
ial results from 1t. This is
particularly true Of the women Of
the wealthy class, who upon compile
ton of the course have taken pride
in being able to care for their sick,
under the doctors direction.
The nurse situation in the larger
cities is becoming critical, on ac-
count Of SO many of the experienced
ones going into the Red Cross SER
vice, and. the women and girls who
remain at home must fit themselves
to take their places, and this can
best be done by enrolling immediate
ly~for these courses. The time is
coming when the nurses, who now
remain at home, will be compelled
to go into the service, to fill the de-
mand that is made for them.
