GERMANY SETS FORTH AIMS IN
RUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan. 2S.-Count Won
Hertling, in his address be-
fore the Riechstag committee, said
that the evacuation of Russian ter
ritOry was a question which only
concerns Russia and the Central
powers.
Commenting on the fourteen
points in the program for world
peace set forth in President Will
sons address to Congress, the chan
cellor said some difficulties would
be met with.
Germany never demanded the in
corporation Of Belgium territory by
violence, the chancellor asserted. He
said the fate of Poland would be
decided by Germany and Austria
Hungary.
When all other questions had been
settled, he added, Germany would be
ready to discuss the question of
league of peace.
The chancellor declared that Ger
many did not wish annexations by
violence, but that the question of
northern France could be discussed
only by France and Germany. He
asserted there could be no talk Of
the cessation of Alsace-Lorraine.
Regarding points nine, ten and
eleven in the Presidents speech,
Count Won Hertling said he must
leave the answer in the first place
to Austria. but that where German
interests were concerned they would
be defended theoretically.
The chancellor demanded that the
leaders of the nations at war with
Germany set forth new proposals.
The terms outlined by President
Wilson and Premier Lloyd George
contained certain principles which
could be accepted by Germany, he
said, but the concert proposals were
unsatisfactory.
Austria-Hungary and America,
Count Czernin said, were two bellig =
erents whose interests were less in
compatible than they seemed. He
dent Wilson regarding war aims as
an important advance toward the
Austria-Hungary viewpoint which
contained some proposals in which
Austria Hungary would gladly join.
The foreign minister said the
population Of Poland would decide
its own rate. Inc POLISH question
must not delay peace one day. If
Poland after the war wished to ad-
vance toward Austra-Hungary such
an advance would be welcomed.
Interpretation Of the right ut
free action of peoples had caused 4
difference between Russia and Ger
many, said Count CZernin, but a
compromise must be reached. The
differences of view were not great
enough to justify abandonment Of
the peace negotiations.
ut is obvious to me-" said Count
Czernin, that an exchange Of views
between America and Australian
gary might form the starting point
for a conciliatory discussion among
all States which have not yet en-
tered into peace negotiations"
Commenting on the fourteen
points in President Wilson's war
aims speech, Count CZernin said, &C
cording to an Exchange telegraph
dispatch from Copenhagen, that
Austria-Hungary and America were
virtually in agreement regarding
the great principles for new ar
rangements after the war.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-01-29

~ officials here that no substantial
advance toward the final peace
sought by all belligerents has re-
suited from these declarations.
1t is true that expressions of
Count Czernin, the Austrian pre-
nlier, appear to be more conciliatory
in tone than previous utterances
from that quarter, but beyond vague
statements that the possibilities Of
peace negotiations are contained in
the addresses of President Wilson
and Premier Lloyd George, there is
no suggestion of surrender of any
of the extreme conditions of the
military element in the Central
States.
The German premier's address, in.
deed, is couehed in the language of
a victorious general, and it is noted
that nowhere does he specifically
abandon the claim for indemnity and
territory. In fact, from the cabled
abstract it appears that he has be-
come more uncompromising and
militaristic in his position than he
was when he assumed Office and first
addressed the Reichstag.
The remuneration of Count Ger
min, the Austrian premier, of any
claim against Russia for indemnity
or annexation, it is noted, does not
extend to other nations.

PLAN A|RMAI[FO
EVERY LARGE CITY

Before the coming year ends the
Government will have an aerial mail
service equal to that now operating
between Washington and New York
under full swing into every city Of i'm
portance in the United States, accord
ing to Otto Praeger, Second Assistant
Postmaster General in a statement
made public today.
The plans contemplate direct air
mail service between Washington and
Richmond, Va, in addition to the mail
route between this city and New York.
and the naval mail route between here
and Hampton Roads.
at Is our intention" Mr.. Praeger
announced, first to locate the fields
and put into operation the line be-
tween Chicago and New York. This
route is to pass through western
Pennsylvania Next we expect to To-
cate the line through upstate New
York"
The possibility of including Balti-
more and Wilmington, Del. in the
route between Washington. Philadel-
phfa: and New York. is being seri-
ously considered. 1t is considered
highly probable that the extension OF
a route TO Richmond will cause the
establishing of branch lines to Roam
oke, Lynchburg, and Danville. The
run between Washington and Rich
mond is about the same distance as
the one between this city and Phila-
delphia-
The thousands of aeroplanes that
were made and were being made for
the war purposes are being turned
over to the Postoffice Department SO
that there will be no hitch in the
plans OF the department in putting
the aerial mail service into operation
when the routes and fields are located.
The fact that there are thousands OF
highly trained army flyers points the
way to enormous extensions in the
airmaiI service. Many of these men
will be attracted to aviation after the
war
Many fields for aerial terminals
have been offered to the Government
by the cities into which il is proposed
to extend the service.
