AUSTRIA WILLING

HAT AUSTRIA is willing to conclude separate peace with Russia without regard to the action of Germany that the working classes of the have infected with Russian propaganda
 The Austrian proposal notes but exception Austria is not willing to submit the doctrine the self determination of peoples.
 This doctrine made the chief the proposals of the Bosheviki, and they will not readily abandon it.
 separate peace between Austria and Russia would be embarrassing Germany would impose upon that country solely the burden of keeping the Russian front.
 The unity of purpose which has held Austria Ger together impaired The recent strikes Austria of which conducted large scale played their part in compelling the Austrian government to more amicable frame of mind
 Just the French revolution caused among all European peoples the Russian revolution is causing new aspirations the minds of the European working classes among the Allies working classes are moved by the ideas of Russian policy Bu the Teuonc working classes barely restrained from active sympathy Boshevki

BRITISH LAbOR'S
 RESOLUTIONS ALL |. ENDORSE WILSON

Nottingham, Eng, Jan. 26.-The British Labor party has closed the most important convention in it's his tory. The outstanding fact of the three day proceedings is the firm stand taken on the war. British labor emphatcaIly reasserted that the world must be completely and finally rid of aggressive militarism.''
 The pacidst element in the confer ence, although demonstrative, was beaten decisively on every occasion its proposals reached the voting stage.
 For the American public one of the main points of interest is the party s unequivocal acceptance of President Wilson as it's own prophet Not a single resolution or declaration was made during the conference on the subject of war or peace emitting an endorsement of wilson's war aims and | attitude. No other Allied statesman received & similar tribute. Premier Lpoyd-George had many carping crit 1 ics and President Poincare was not mentioned, but not even speakers rep resenting the disaffected fringes of the party spoke a disparaging word on the attitude of the American pres 1 ident and people.

HERTLING'S REPLY

ERTLNGgS REPLY to the peace program suggested by President Wilson to open door for discussion His to the presidents four proposals first in order be reasonably satisfactory Herng agrees that there should hereafter be secret diplomacy that there should be freedom of the that there should be economic af ter the and that there should be impartial adjustment of colonial claims.
 The evacuation of territory is described subject to agreement between Germany and Russia If the evacuation should take place. that matter would to be closed Five proposals thus considered.
 The sixth proposal relates to Belgium Hering says that predecessors that time did ton of Belgium form part of the German program But he refuses to the problem from the discussion of peace conference
 This would to be approach to agreement, evidently intends the matter to be considered in connection with the demand for evacuation of the occupied lands of France and the fighting of the wrong done in the annexation of Alsace- Lorraine
 erng says that it is not the intention of Germany to for cby French territory but the agreement of evacuation must be between Germany and France Germany will not dis member imperial territory.
 rights Belgium virtually part GermaR rights in AsaeeLorraine One problem to be used set off to the other
 Questions nne and relate to problems that mainly Austrian They include readustment of the Italian frontier autonomy for Austrian natonaes and the dspos ton Serbia and Montenegro which must be questions declared to be for Austrian deermn- alton,
 Question 12 relates to the naturalization of the nees Hering says he will not oresa the expressions of Turkish statesmen but will stand by Turkey.
 The proposal for independent Poland is met with the statement We the road to this goal" Again the ques ton would be whether independent Poland would actually be established.
 To question 44 Hertlng says that Germany is willing wien other matters determined examine the presidents project for association of the nations of the earth guard the rights of all
 It is difficult to how Herng, if the interest of peace is to be conserved could regarding the purely Austrian and Turkish questions differently than he has.
 It is for Turkey to say what Turkey is willing to do is for Austria what the empire willing to do in its territory
 The real point of dispute therefore double problem of Belgium and Asace and Lorraine.
 The Allies agreed together not to make separate peace So with the Teuonic Allies Unless the tonic Allies willing to make separate peace Russia per haps will do it is necessary for them agree what they will respectively give up, or demand.
 Turkey should not tentatively assent to Internaionaiza ton of the Dardaneles and Austria the recficaons propos ed the informal discussion would almost solely with the single question of Belgium and Asace- Lorraine

SUPERSTITIOUS ITALIANS THINK U. s. BOYS LUCKY
Officers Travel Miles to Touch Supposedly Charm <. ed Bodies of American
 Air Men.

American Aviation Training Camp, Southern Italy. Jan. 2S-"You can't kill an American" is the dictum of the Italian officers training the sev- eral hundred young aviators who have been flying here since the end of Sep tember, when, by arrangement with the Italian government, this camp was established. The Americans have such a reputation for luck that Ital- ian soldiers come here so they may touch one of the aviators. Tt brings us good luck, too," they explain.
 The Americans fly from morning until night virtually every day. Not single one has been killed and but three have been injured at all seri- ously. One of the latter, on his third trip alone, got into an air situation which he did not understand, with the result that he stopped his motor whereupon the machine began to plunge downward until it's fall was checked by the telegraph wires of the railway station of the nearby city. Thence the machine dropped to the ground and was smashed. The avia- tor was picked up for dead, but in five days he was ready for another fly.
 The prize story of the camp con- cerns Harry Harris, of California, who got lost, first in the clouds, and then in central Italy. He was cou- pie of hours going away and whole week coming back to camp. As he afterwards explained, he went up for an altitude and when he got above the clouds he was unable to discover l whether he was flying upside down or right side up, or whether the earth l was above or below him.
 Finally, after grazing few noun tain tops of the Appenines, he alight- | ed in the center of a village square, begging for something to eat. As he | couldn't speak Italian, his explanation that he was "Americano" didn't sat l isfy the local police, who had never l heard of American aviators in Italy but had heard a lot about those of Austria who have the unpleasant
 habit of dropping bombs on coast towns along the Adriatic.
 | However, he was fed and started campwards, after a couple of days of detention. He had flown nearly a hundred and fifty miles away from
 camp, and when he got back there,
 he was accused of having been on a visit to some sweetheart.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-01-26

Every American believes he can do anything any other man has done and maybe do it little better. Every community expects to be a New York or Chicago some day. It is natur- aL We are born that way. And, be- cause we believe we can do anything, ard because we back up our confi- dence with an abundance of hard work, why, we usually succeed in do- ing it!
 All of which is by way of saying that individuals and communities throughout the country faced farm la bor shortages last year-and solved their problems. Various methods were used-eme ergency volunteer workers from towns and cities, high school boys, county labor bureaus. The labor question is a pressing and Perplexing one now. Governmental agencies are doing everything they can. But, after all, individual initia- tive and action must be relied upon largely. You your town-your county-can do what other people, other towns, other countries did last year. And here are some of the things they did:
 In Hood River County, Oregon, which is a fruit country, the schools were closed during the apple picking | time, so both pupils and teachers could go into the orchards. Practical | ly all the stores closed one-half of each day and all employees worked at apple picking and packing. Through cut the county owners of automobiles and trucks gave the use of their ma chimes to carry the workers to and from the fields. These measures en- abIed the apple growers to save a crop, much of which would have been lost otherwise.
 l ! In Maine the labor shortage that threatened serious potato loss was re- | lieved to quite an extent by training camp boys, or Junior Volunteers '' These boys, from sixteen to twenty one years of age, were mobilized al q state training camp, given short course in practical farm work and were sent to the potato fields, and other farms, where help was needed They were under military discipline and were uniformed and carefully SUI Iervised at all times.
 A boys camp was conducted neal Phoenixville, Pa., where a two-weeks training course was planned. Accord ing to reports from that section these boys went at their work so earnestly and were so anxious to give satisfac ton that it became difficult to keeI

NEW
 TRIAL IN REPORT
 ON MOONEY CASE

Washington, Jan 26.-Recommen- dation that President Wilson use his good offices to induce California auth critics to bring about new trial of Thomas J. Mooney in case the Califor- mia supreme court sustains his con viction for comp1icity in the San Fran cisco bomb outrages was made today by the presidents mediation commis- sion.
 In a report to the president the commission, which has conducted an exhaustive investigation of the trials of Mooney, Warren K. Billings, Mrs Rena Mooney and Israel Weinberg declared this could be done by post poning the execution of the death sen- tence imposed or Mooney, awaiting the outcome of a new trial based or prosecution under one of the untried indictments against him.
 1 A history of the four cases is giver in the report and the conclusion is reached that the Mooney case soor resolved itself into a new aspect of ar old industrial feud instead of sub- | ject demanding calm search for the truth
 | After telling of the connection o1 Billings and Mooney, the report point: out that Mrs. Mooney and Weinberg facing the same evidence, were ac. quilted because the testimony o. Frank Oxman, the main witness fol the state, had been discredited before their trials.
 The commission in detailing condi tions in San Francisco at the tme O. Mooney's trial says:
 | There can be no doubt that Moo ney was regarded as a labor agitatol of malevolence by the public utilitie; of San Francisco, and tn, utilities against which he directed hi agitation sought to get him.
 No question of the jurys good fait1 is raised in the report, but it declare that it is because of subsequent de velopments that doubt is based on tn, justice of the conviction"
 The California supreme court i confined in it's consideration of tn appeal now pending, the report says to only matters found in the recort
 and if the supreme court confirms tn
 conviction the relief will have to b, supplied through executive action.
