.ENEMYSPEECHES
MEAN NOTHING
Don't Bring Peace a Step
Nearer; Most of Talk Is
Camouflage Anyhow.

washington, D. c., Jan. 25.-Based
on the short cabled outlines Of the
speeches Of the German and Austrian
premiers to their respective parlia-
ments, the opinion is expressed by
officials here that no substantial ad-
vance towards the final peace sought
by all -beIligerents has resulted from
these declarations. 1t is true that
expressions OF count Czernin, the
Austrian premier, appear to be more
conciliatory in tone than previous
utterances from that quarter. but be-
yond vague statements that posi-
biHties of peace negotiations are con-
tanned in the addresses of president
Wilson and premier Lloyd George.
there is no suggestion Of surrender
Of any of the extreme contentious of
the military interests in the central
states.
Germany Gives Up Nothing.
The renunciation by count Czernin
Of any claim against Russia for in
demnity or annexation, il is noted.
does NOT extend to the other nations.
Considering that Germany has under
taken TO dominate the RuSsian-
Balkan provinces and that the central
powers already have recognized the
independence OF Ukraine, thus con-
stituting a buffer state between
Russia and Austria in large part, ii is
easily perceived that Austria is max
ing no special sacrifice in this renun-
citation.
Polish Kingdom n Sham.
As for Poland, the declaration that
Aha manhattan would nnnfna e n
fate. is read here in the light Of the
action already taken by the central
powers to set up a sham kingdom Of
Poland which in reality is nothing
more than a dependency OF Austria
and Germany.

Refusal of the manufacturers to
