London. Jan. 25.-The first impress sion created in London by tae sum maries of the replies by Count von Hertling and Count Czernin to preSl- dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd George is that the Austrian view"o'nt shows signs of independence and does not follow the German policy Ill seV- eral respects. On the vital question of Belgium the German chancellor's statement is considered so indefinite that it might be considered to cover any course Germany might think op- nortune at the time of tho peace negotiation. Count Czernin's pro posals that peace negotiations Will practically be begun hy Austril Hun, gary and the United states on behat of the two grouus of powers IS one which is received with marked inter- est.

SOME NATIONS TO RECOGNIZE GOVT.

Report Ambassadors Seek to Persuade Govern
 ments to Act.
(By Associated Press. ]

London, Jan. 25-Some of the am bassadors at Petrograd are reported to be comforting with reference to formal acknowledgment by their gov ernments of the Bolsheviki govern ment It is not stated which am- bassadors are concerned. and there is no indication as to the decision. f The Russian national commission CTS are reported to have received the reply of Great Britain to their inquiry regarding the arrival of a R~itish cruiser at Vladivostok. Although the British explanation was not wholly satisfactory it was regarded as ac- ceptable. and the fact that the reply was addressed to tho commissioners made good impression.
 According to a wireless dispatch from Berne, the peace negotiations at Brest-Iitovsk have been compli- cated bv the arrival there of second Ukrainian delegation. This delesa- tion is identified with the Bolshevikl Ukrainian center at Kharkov, which contends that it alone is entitled to speak in the name of Ukraine. These delegates deny the right of the first delegation with which the Germans have been negotiating to represent Ukraine.

 A Daily News dispatch from Petro- grad quotes Ensign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki commander-in-chie as having said in speech:
 "There is no help for Us except from ourselves. Our allies care nota- ing about our revolution. When they heard we were breaking off the peace 'negotiations and formins an army, they pricked up their ears Snd thought we could be useful to them again. First an American officer. then British, and then French officer came. We were asked whether the army would fight. said we hoped so. Then they asked about money. They were willing to pay us for fight ing for our revolution. thinking we would be useful to them. But We shall not be cannon fodder in order that the allied imperialists may cele- brate the victory.

MILBANK HIDE AND FUR CO.
A Growing Business Institution.

One of the business institutions
of Milbank that is worthy of hav.
ing attention called to it. is the
Ailbank Hide and Fur Co., which
was organized last January, and
while it has been doing business
less than q year, nevertheless large
trade in furs and hides has already
been secured by the firm and an
amount of business in this line is
being done by them that would
surprise most of US. One Of the
principal reasons for this growing
business is that Mr.. William Fine,
Who is the buyer in the fur line, is
. master in the business. and with
his fifteen years experience can
name the real value Of . fur of
any kind, and he is using this ex-
perience and knowledge in building
up the business of the Hide and
Fur Co. True the country is be-
ing flooded with price lists of east
ern firms, giving prices on furs,
but when the shipper forwards his
furs he finds that these published
prices are much higher than what
he receives for his goods. and that
the prices were but bait for the
man who has furs to sell. The
eastern purchaser is hundreds of
miles away. and when he receives
the furs he simply pays the seller
what he may please to, regardless
of price list, returning a check for
the amount, with a charge for ex-
pense of some character, and the
shipper is practically helpless.
Mr.. Ed. Schleisman. the other
member Of the firm, is thoroughly
acquainted with the hide depart
ment of the business-with the
quality and value Of hides-having
been in the butcher business for
many years, and his practical ex-
perience and acquaintance along
this line is valuable asset to the
company.
The Milbank company is build
ing mp a business, is out after the
fur trade and is in a position to
pay its patrons the full value of
furs purchased, and when a ship
ment is received, the shipment is
held intact and at the disposal Of
the seller until the latter has ap-
proved the price by accepting the
check sent in payment.
That the company's method of
doing business is generally approx
ed by those who have hides or furs
to sell is evid ,nced by their con-
stantly increasing business. They
have recently purchased one of the
warehouses near the depot and are
removing it to Schleisman's lot on
First street, and will fit it up for a
store house for storing and caring
for their hides. For Office and
business house. and for the fur line
of their trade they have secured the
Lammel building on corner of Main
street and Second ave. The Hide
Z Fur Company is already one of
the important institutions of Mil
bank.
