Count Won Hertling, the imperial
German chancellor, it is reported un-

dent Wilson saw a difference between
the chancellor's recent statement and
that of Count Czernin, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, and de-
clared that Count Won Hertling had
no: withdrawn from his position that
peace should be made on Germany's s
terms.
Facts are known III London, the
Daily News says, which brings closer
the possibility of a separate peace be-

disfavor on sending her soldiers

and Great Britain.
Lloyd George Wins Parliament.
Challenged to move want of conf
dence in his government by Premier
Lloyd George, the British house of
commons yesterday failed take such
action. Criticism of the Versailles
council and the premier's attitude con-
corning it was voiced in the house by
former Premier Asquith and otner
Marshal Haig and General Robertson

spokesmen for the government denied
the truth of such statements.
Premier Lloyd George in the house
and King George in an address to
parliament asserted no basis for a
democratic peace could be found in
recent statements of leaders of the
central powers. The premier said he
could see no difference in substance
between the recent utterances of
ChaneeHor--Von- Hertling and Count
Czernin. Before the Italian parlia-
merft Premier Orlando has declared
tha Italy will fight on until victory is

Washington, Feb. 13.-With 164

Asquith Pitted Against Lloyd
George in Controversy.
LACK OF CONFIDENCE" FAILS
Versailles Conference Under
Fire From HecklerS.
Curious To Hear Premier Com
ment on Wilson Speech.

London. Feb 13-Parliament reas-
sembled today on tiptoe with curios-
ity as to how Premier Lloyd George
would meet President Wilson's latest
declaration and the dissatisfaction
manifested by a section of the press
and public over the Versailles council
and also as to how far former Premier
Asquith would respond to the demand
of the extreme wing of his followers
for the abandonment of policy of be-
nevolence toward the government in
favor of active opposition based on
disapproval of the general war policy
and especially the enlargement of the
function of the supreme war council.
The house of commons was not dis
appointed for the sitting proved un-
usually exciting. 1t could hardly be
said that Asquith rose to the eXpecta-
tions of the most eager of his party,
but the temper of a large section of
the members seemed to show that such
tactics would meet with considerable
SUI port.
Premier Challenges House.
Perhaps the most notable thing was
the contrast in the speeches of the
premier and the former premier with
reference to President Wilson's speech.
While Mr.. Asquith endorsed fully the
presidents view Premier Lloyd George
did not even mention Mr.. Wilson's last
speech and declined to see in Count
Czernin's statement any nearer ap-
proach to reasonable terms than in
Count yon Hertling's. Moreover, the
premier regarded the German chan
celior's demand that Great Britain
give up her coaling stations as prov
ing fully that the controllers of Ger
man policy were in no mood to discuss
reasonable terms of ,.cace
Declaring absolutely that he would
not yield on the matter of revealing
more about the Versailles conference,
Premier Lloyd George challenged the
house. if dissatisfied with the govern
mentS conduct of the war to put an
other government in its place.
The question of enlarging on the
status of the Versailles council led to
little scene between the premier and
Mr.. Asquith and thruout his remarks
about the council the premier was
subjected to running fire of heck
ling, punctuated with loud cheers from
extreme liberals, many of whom in
subsequent speeches made strong at
tacks on the premier regarding his al
legged connection with the press
War on the Press.
Lord Hugh Cecil. member for OK
lord university, admitted the premier's S
speech was reaSsuring, but said that
the weakness of the government lay
in the existence of condolences be-
tween utterances in the press and GER
tain lines of governmental action. He
hoped the government would not heSi-
tate to suppress, if necessary, even the
most influential journals acting con-
trary to thc national interests. Ad-
