PEACE Is NO NEARER
GERMAN CHANCELLOR WANTS To
Disc7EDIT WILSON'S AIMS.
Washington Officials Say Hertiing's
Speech is Effort to Fool People
and Aid War Party.

Washington, Feb. 27.-German I'M
perial Chancellor Won Hertling's
speech in the reichstag continuing the
discussion of the war aims of the bel
hgerent powers has not changed the
situation, in the opinion of high Off
Gals here
Instead of marking an advance to-
ward peace, it is regarded rather as
deliberately calculated to strengthen
the hands of the German mfIitaristic
party by endeavoring to convince the
German prOletariat of the impractical
bic nature Of President Wilson's aims
as disclosed in his most recent address
to congress on February II.
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the presidents four fundamental
principles for basis of peace. Count
Won Hert}ing dismissed them as ideal
isttc and unavoidable by insisting thai
they must depend for their application
upon the realization of conditions
which cannot be met.
In the official view his treatment of
the subject was irOnical and designed
for very different ends than the ad-
vancement Of peace.
There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribution
to the debate on war aims and peace
aspirations. Experience has taught of
ficials that important qualifications
are to be found usually in the full
text of the speeches of the spokesman
of the central powers.
Attention was directed by officials
to President Wilson's former charac,
teriZatiOn of the German chancellor's
utterances as very vague and con
fusing," and it was said that the pres
ident's comment had a peculiarly apt
application TO the Hertling speech of
Monday.
Officials noted particularly Hert-
Gng's references to Ireland, India and
Egypt and regarded them us calcu-
lated to create GiscOrd between the en-
tente allies and continue a deception
of the German people, who apparently
believe the military party is willing to
make peace without lamentations and
indemnitieS
Hertling's suggestion of a conference
of the beliigerents apparently meets
with no greater favor than heretofore,
and officials see not the slightest hope
of a round table discussion" in adj
vance of a complete acceptance by the
central powers of the broad principles
upon which the entente is willing to
consider peace terms.
Hertling's speech was carefully stud
led by President Wilson and state de-
partment officials IntimatiOns that the
president would make it the occasion
for another address Immediately found
no official support.

The state department announced the

peace terms, the Germans were CON

Reds Fight for Pskov.
London, Feb. PA Petrograd DIS
patch to the Exchange Telegraph com
pany says:
THAT resistance to the German ad
vance is growing is shown by the re-
ports of fighting which continues in
the vicinity of Pskov, $50 miles south
west Of PetrOgrad. This town has
changed hands several times. The
German detachments which first en-
tered Pslov were very small, but they
have since been REINFORCED.
There is a general belief that the
Germans are moving forward hastily
because supplies of ammunition worth
400,000,000 rubles ($206, 0O0,000) are
concentrated in the neighbOrhOOd of
Pskov. The Russians, however, are
taking measures to guard the railway
and are sending more Soviet troops to
PskOv."
Later advices say that the Soviet
armies are now everywhere resisting
the invaders.
The capture of Pskov by the Ger
| mans was announced in the official
| statement issued at Berlin.
Red Headquarters Moved.
The b0lsheyik headquarters have
been transferred from the SmOlny in
stitute in PetrOgrad to military
| camp. according to another Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Petr0grad,
dated Monday.
At this camp the wOrkmen of the
| city are assembling en- masse, carry
| ing red banners and fighting detach
mentS are being formed continually.
1t is reported that the council of
peoples commissaries, which forms the
bolshevik governing body, has decided
| to remain at the Smolny institute, au-
| though the military activities have
