WAsHINoroN. Jan. 2s.-President Will
son has not received a copy Of the peace
speech Of Count Cxernin. the Austro-
Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
and which the Cologne Gosette's corre-
sponden; reports was forwarded to the
President. The State Department has
no knowledge OF any communication
from Count Csernin having been re-
ceived in Washington. and neutral Dip
lomats. including the Swiss and Swedish
Ministers and the Spanish Ambassador.
have heard nothing to indicate that such
a communication was to b. expected.
President Wilson conferred with Col
House to-day over the latest develop
msnts. II Is understood that ono Of the
matters discussed WAS the permanent
representative OF this Government In
the Allied War Council. Col. House
when seen at the White House sa1A nsn-
phatically that he was not contsnp1at-
ing another trip ahroad. He tntiraated
that some one else would represent this
Government and that II was this point
which had brought him to Washington.
That the President has already made a
selection appears certain
Col. House refused to discuss the
peace talk. That Is q closed subject
with me-" he said.
The situation in Austria-HurRary.a and
particularly in Bohemia. according to
advces at the State Department Is ap-
parently going from bad to worse, AL
though the State Department warns
against interpreting this internal agita-
ton as a symptom Of early COLLAPSE.
The upheavals admittedly indicate signs
Of weakness, and the strikes in the
Bohemian munition plants may have an
import tant bearing on war preparations.
nut officials believe Judgment must be
suspended when II comes to speculating
AZ to any real hostility either to the
Government Of Austria or the Govern
nent Of Germany by the respective peo-
pies. Agitation by the Austrian Slavs
would not necessarily he serious. II u
explained. as the sympathy Of this race
for the Hapsburg has long been luke
warm at most.
Diplomats here believe that Count
Czernin may have sent his speech to
w A. r. Ekengren. the Swedish Min
tster, who represents Austro Hungarian
, interests In the United States. This
would not mean forwarding 1t to the
President. because Mr.. Ekengren could
not transmit 1t TO the President unless
he was specifically asked to do 80 b!

ADJUSTMENTS
Sisler Only Player Liable to
Replace Cobb as Super-Star

Tyrus Raymond Cobb will be-
gin his fourteenth year as ma
jor league ball player in April. He
is now In his thirty-first year. For
many years he has reigned SUI
preme as the greatest player in
baseball. For years he has been
THE super-ball player. He has
had no serious rivals in his many
fields of endeavor. Now and then
some star has come along and
challenged him, but In the end Ty
has always emerged at the top.
Even when iris Speaker took the
batting lead from him, he re-
NAMED ahead in so many other
lines that his supremacy was not
questioned.
But the time has come to Sc
riously contemplate the day when
Cobb can no longer outdistance
all his teammates. The super
star has not yet begun to fade but
1t has passed the meridian and
must gradually grow DINNER.
George Sislea. pitcher, first
baseman, Outfielder, base
runner, 1850 batter, is the
future superficial player. IF
he retains his ambition and
If he can get more fire into
his play.
Cobb is the most dangerous
baserunner in baseball, not be-
cause he is the speediest base
runner, but because he has the
determination to steal bases. Cobb
is the greatest hitter in baseball,
not because he is the greatest ma
tural hitter, nor because be has
the best batting eey, but because
he uses brains and determination
with his natural physical assets.
George Sisler has everything
Cobb has physically. He is bet
ter fielder than Cobb. He has not
yet developed the determination
and fire that has made Cobb the
most wonderful of all ball players.
Perhaps he will never develop it
to the extent Ty has.
BUT WATCH SISLER.
He is on Cobb's trail as a bat
ter, as a baserunner, as cOllec-
tor Of extra base hits. He's the
next super-ball player il he wants
to be; II he cares to work as Cobb
has worked to get where he is.
