Trying to Divide Allies,
Asserts the Paris ''Temps'

PARIS, Jan. 2.-"Never was the AL
Lorraine question further from
being the sole obstacle to peace" says
the ''Temps" in its comment on the
speeches Of the German Chancellor and
the Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minis
ter. "This only is the most visible
symbol Of the untractable German I'm
perialism."
The Temps says that the German
Chancellor fails utterly to follow the
reasoning Of his collaboration, DR.. Rich
ard Won Kuehlmann, the German For
.eign Secretary, declaring "For were
ton the only bar to peace he would
have been obliged to declare Germany's
readiness to restore Belgium without
restrictions to assure the Poles, Lithu-
anians and Let's freedom to settle
their own destinics."
"Instead," says the "Tcmps," Chan
cellor Won Hertling carefully avoided
doing this. Over Belgium he leaves a
menacing doubt. He refuses all expla-
nation to the Allies about the Eastern
front, and he doesn't even promise that
French territory will be evacuated
without reserve.
Although Chancellor Won Hertling
accepts such clauses in the American
programme as appear advantageous for
Germany by Interpreting them accord
or reserves the means of invRlidating
them. He attempts to open a
separate debate with each Of the En-
tente Allies, or even to make one con-
tradict the other. Chancellor Won
Hertling's principal programme, it ap~
pears, is to separate from Wilson's pro-
gramme the Alsace-Lorraine question"

Peace Out of the Question
Now. View of Italian Press

ROME, Jan. 20;-"We must keep up
the fight" says the "Epocha," in com
menting on the speeches Of Chancellor
Won Hertling and Foreign Minister
Czcrnin.
The "Tribuna" says peace is out Of
the question until the enemy accepts
the chief conditions laid down by the
Allies, especially in regard to Poland.
1t believes President Wilson's views
demonstrate his political acumen. as
they would mean the erection Of
Polish state as bulwark between the
Central empires and the Slavic world.
The "Idea Nazignale" says it is evil
dent from both speeches that Germany
and Austria are aiming at the building
up of middle Europe, and that Germany
believes she now has the power to en-
force her programme.

"The Telegraph" fears that the
speeches OF the German Chancellor and
tho Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minister
contribute nothing to the pacitication
of Europe, and believes that there is
no radical divergence in the views Of
Germany and Austria.
THE Chronicle" says that Chancellor
Won Hertling, while giving guarded
and practically valueless assent to
some Of President Wilson'S abstract
principles, refuses every one Of the
concrete territorial demands.
THE Daily Mail" says:
IF there are any shirkers or boz
levers in peace by negotiation still
among US, there will be none left
when Chancellor Won Hcrtling's speech
is read. 1t is clear that Germany is
unrepentant, unbeaten and swollen with
victory for aggression"

Chinese to Boycott Japan
IStaf Correspoude1lce1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Advices
from Toxic state that there are indi-
cations that the Chinese may start boy
cotting Japanese goods, both in Man

Manchuria the Chinese resent the re-
cent abolition OF the silver note sys-

and which has given much facility to
the Chinese in their mon etary dealings.
The silver note system Of the Yoke

State Department Reports
Confirm Austrian, Unrest

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--Contirma-
tory reports Of the labor troubles in
Austria were received at the State De-
partment to-day in dispatch from
Holland. This dispatch was sent, how
cver, prior to January. 60, and added
nothing to the unofficial information
already received. The report was
based upon facts secured from German
sources. and indicated that the cause
for the disorders in Austria was polti-
cal as we'll as economic and was a
manifestation of growing desire in
that country for peace.
Ohicials Of the State Department dis
played interest to-day in the reactions
that have been recorded among the So
cialists in Germany MS a result Of the
speeches Of Won Hertling and Czernin.
The opinion Of Scheidemann was given
especial consideration. since it is q
clear indication of the attitude of the
more conservative group of Socialists.

Little Hope of Peace
Under Present Rulers.

The NeW York. Tribune
IToreinm PrasA Bureau


Foreign Press Burequ
The workingmcn OF Germany want
peace, but the present rulers do not,
and as long as they remain in power
there Is very little hope Of peace. This
is the belief Of Herr Haase, the Ger
man minority Socialist leader, and he
had the courage to say SO In a speech
be made recently in the Reichstag.
He declared than dozens Of his
friends and number of members Of
the Reichstag had been prohibited
from speaking to their constituents for
the duration Of the war, says the
Westminster Gazette" of London.
The government, he continued, was
gathering material for fresh prosecu-
tons, and the so-called party truce was
nothing. but military dictatorship and
police despotism carried to the point
OF persecution.
"These gentlemen" he said, pointing
to the government, "still seem to think
that they can kill opinion by the mill
tary cudgel and police sabre. The pam
Germans are IN power now, and If
Scheidemann says to-day that he and
his friends have succeeded in over
throwing pan-Germans here in Ger
many they are shutting their eyes to
the truth. The generals in command,
all those who control and apply the
censorship, are they not all pan Ger
mans and members of the Vaterland-
spartei? How can one shut ones ewes
