Where the blow will fall has not been

allied armies evince no fear that it
cannot DC repulsed. They have made
every preparation that their skill and
resources permit and are sitting tight.
All feelng-out movements by the enc

President Wilson More Hopeful of
Austrian Peace Than Is
Lloyd George.
AGAIN SETS FORTH DEMANDS
BolsheViki PerpIex the Germans by
Abandoning the War Without Sign
ing Treaty-Ukraine Makes Seps-
rate Peace-All Ready for West
Front Offensive.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

President Wilson believes Count
Czernin meant what he seemed to say
IN his recent speech on peace, and
still hopes AUSTRIA Hungary may he
separated from Germany and that the
war may be brought to an end with
out great deal more of fighting.
Premier Lloyd-George believes that
in its real substance the Czernn adj
dress was as uncompromising as that
Of Chancellor Won Hertling and that
the allied war council at Versailles
was right when il declared peace must
be won by force of arms.
Tn his address to congress on Mon
day Mr.. Wilson enunciated the four
cardinal principles TO which he said
the enemy must agree before general
peace pourparlers can be begun. Brief
ly, these are:
Each part Of the final settlement
must be based on essential justice 10
insure permanent peace.
No peoples shall he bartered for the
gain Of any sovereignty or to retain
err"
Territorial settlements must be for
the benefit OF the people and not of
Aeighboring states.
All we'll defined national aspirations
must be satisfied.
Until a peace based upon these prin-
ciples is secured. the president assert
ed America has no choice but to go
on, and will continue its mobilization
of It's resources until the whole
strength Of the nation has been put in
to this war of emancipation. He de-
nounced the stand OF the imperial
chancellor. but seemed to invite Count
Czernin to lead Austria away from It's
autocratc ally.

Though hailed as sign of weaken
ing by most Of the Teutonic press the
presidents speech is not so regarded
by his fellow countrymen. Many Of
them may believe he is overoptimistic
concerning Austria, as does Lloyd
George, but they accept Mt its face
value his statement of the nations de
termination not to stop fighting until
the results he demands have been
achieved. They feel no harm can re
suit from leaving open the door to pos
sible negotiations with any one of the
central powers, provided there Is no
letup In our war preparations because
OF the bare chance that they may not
be needed.
Premier Lloyd-George's stand in sup
porting the Versailles council and
maintaining secrecy concerning the
plans decided on by 1t was Endorsed
by parliament. which gave him vote
of confidence by an overwhelming ma
jority.
The German press warns Mr.. Wilson
again that his efforts TO separate Ger
many and Austria Hungary will be fu-
tile and calls his references to Ameri-
can mobilization mere bluf.
The kaiser, It may be noted, also de-
livered a speech, in which he said any
peace must be preceded by an ,admis-
sion of German victory.

There is no way of telling how many gasoline

Farm experts already foresee the day when
gasoline power will be almost universal In agri-
