 TERRITORY GAINED

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11--Prcsident Wilson today told congress thas here can be nc peace terms based upon the plans outlined by the German Chan cellor, Count Won Hertling. The TO- sition taken by Won Hertling, quite definitely commits the German gov- ernment to the holding of the provin- ces of Alsace and Lorraine, regardless as to whether or not it may be the wish of the people of those provinces. Won Hertling does not believe that Germany should give up what she has fought so hard to gain, and that the wishes of the people of small states or provinces cannot be considered when they conflict with the wishes of a powerful autocraic government. such a policy said the President can

only make for a continuance of the war. The position taken by the Aus trian- Hungarian government is direct ly opposite to that taken by Germany, and the President wa1tnly praised the address of Count Czernin in which the Premier said that the struggle at the present time going on goes deep enough otouch the very foundation of the life of man, deeper than any struggle that the world has ever be- fore witnessed, and then when it is setteDed the only just and right way to settle it was to settle the questions on the surface and beneath the surface at the same time.

 Spreckels placed entire blame for the present crisis on the Food Admin iStration.
 "The Unitel States has ample sugar." he said The shortage is loc- affixed in the Eeastern States. As a whole there is plenty of sugar.
 Spreckels added that here is enough sugar in Java to supply the whole British Isles for year.
 You say there is no shortage, yet we can get no sugar. Why is that?" asked Senator James A. Reed.

Nine-tenths of the sugar production in the United States is controlled, di- rectlH, or indirectly by the sugar trust, Spreckels declared.
