The foreign minister said the poPd=
lation of Poland would decide it's own
fate. The Polish question must not
delay peace one day. If Poland after
the war wanted to advance toward
Austria-Hungary, such an advance
would be welcomed.
Interpretation of the right of free
action of peoples had caused a differ
ence between Russia and Germany,
said Count Czernin, but a compromise
must be reached. The differences OF
view were not great enough to justify
abandonment of the peace negotia-
tions.
Regarding the difficulties attending
the peace negotiation in Brest-Lit-
ovsk, he said the publication of the
daily proceedings had caused ner-
vousness among the people behind the
front. Alluding to President Wilson's
address. Count Czernin said:
"I acknowledge his tone is now diff
ferent from what it was when he at
tempted in his reply to Pope Bene-
dict to SOW dissension between the
German government and the German
people, and this has been Of good eff
feet.
There is no longer talk about the
autocratic suppression of the German
people by the government and his
former attacks on the house Of
Hohenzollern are not repeated
A Paris dispatch quotes Count
Czernin as declaring that 'I have no
intention to demand from Russia
single metre of territory, or a single
cent of indemnity"
Count Czernin qualified his state
ment respecting agreement with some
of President Wilson's proposals by
saying that Austria-Hungary would
support Germany.

SWIM TEN FEET A SECOND
Interesting Facts Developed IN Seien'
tific Study of Habits
of Fish.

The speed at which fish can swim
is summarized by the Scientific Amer
ican from recent studies as follows:
"a Belgian authority, q. Denil. while
studying fishwayS, concluded that sal
mon could swim at a speed Of BIB me
tiers a second for at least IA meters
A Canadian, G. p. Napier. from inyeS-
tigatiOns in the Frazer river, expressed
the opinion that the limiting velocity
of a steady stream up which i sOckeye
salmon cOtld swim a very short dis
tance was between six and seven miles
an hour. Finally, H Won Bayer OF the
United States bureau of fisheries de-
cIared that the velocity of the current
in fishways should not exceed ten feet
a second. These various figures, ar
rived at independently. are substan-
tally in agreement. From his own
studies on fishwayS in Massachusetts,
Emerson Stringham found that a COM
mon species of aIewife could swim for
at least a few feet through water flow
ing about ten feet second, about the
limit for fishwayS."
