WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Some of
the secset testimony given in the sen

was made public Yesterday when the
committee released the printed record.
Representative Mccormick of Illinois,
who recently visited the allied coun

some apprehension over American
aid, and that officials of both the Brit

velopment Now.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Unless
Germany and Austria Hungary make
direct overtures to this government no
movement for peace will result from
the speeches made by Count Won Hert-
ling, the German chancellor, before the
reichstag, and Count Czernin. the Aus
tro Hungarian minister for foreign af-
fairs, before the reichsrath committee
on foreign affairs. This is the immedi
ate Judgment of officials here, who sus
pend comment in any formal way, how
ever, until the texts of the two address
es have been received in Washington
and time has been given for their
| study. One opinion is that Count Won
/ Hertling has surrendered TO the Pan
Germans, who seek extension Of Ger
man territory by conquest
1t may be said that the words of the
/ German chancellor and the foreign min
lister of Austria Hungary have fallen
rather fiat in this capital The chan
cellor S speech had been heralded as an
=
point the way TO peace or indicate that
the central powers had decided to DEFY
their enemies and 90 on with the war
without any offer of concessions 1t
had been made known that Count Won
Hcrtling would answer the recent
speeches Of Premier Lloyd George and
President Wilson, in which they out
lined the war aims Of the allied ma
tons. The delivery Of the chancellor 5
address had been postponed so often
that the impression grew that it would
be q remarkable state document upon
which the beginnings Of an adjustment
, ! OF the greatest war in history would
depend.
In IIertling speech Washington
found neither the way to peace nor ele
mentq Of statesmanlika ar oratorical
greatness. The chancellor's statements
are looked upon as no different IN theil
contribution TO the gtatesmanahip OF
the war than those made on several oc
, caslons by Bethmann Hollweg. For 4
long time Germany has been telling TIL,
, allies. the neutral world. and the PEG
pie OF the central empires that She was

gram for this year. and ranks second

of the department. He takes over TO
a large extent the duties Of l.. A.
Snead.
The change in organization is the
most radical that any of the so-called

il necessary TO make. Although rumors
of changes in the personnel of the fuel
administration had been current for
several days it was not expected that
any OF th' higher officials would be dis
placed.
Upon Mr. Morrow will devolve the
task of dividing and distributing the

arrival of next winter the industries
and homes will be amply stocked with

cation Of the coal industry He then

eral secretary TO the newly organized

I has found thu. Mr.. Morrow had an un.

Mr. Morrow will have charge of thi
