PEACE NEG0TIATIONs
On a Vast Scale Seen by Diplomats
In Series Of Addresses by
Warning Nations
Spokesman.

Washington, February 12-Actual
peace negotiations Of new type and
on q far greater scale than hereto
fore known are seen by old school d.
plomats In the recent series Of ad-
dresses by spokesmen Of the warning
nations, outlining terms.
Although President Wilson's latest
address to Congress is regarded as
clear reiteration OF Americas deter
mination to continue to fight until the
military masters Of Germany are
ready to consider peace on the princi-
pies of justice, 1t was pointed out ne
gotiations on q vast scale really are
going on.
These official negotiations,
as they are called by diplomats, de-
part radically from the ancient and
accepted practices of diplomacy. In
stead Of being conducted in the Sc
crecy of round table conference, which
was the aim Of the central powers in
the early stages of the war, the great
issues are now being eXpounded and
critically analyzed in the light of pub
licity and the worlds forum.
The President addressed Congress
to clear up any confusion resulting
from the recent speeches on peace
terms by Count Won Hertling, the Ger
man Chancellor and Count Czernin,
the Austrian Premier.
In the address of Count Won Hert-
ling the President found no approach
to peace, but only proposal to end
the war on German terms. The Aus
trian Premier, however, the President
said, seemed to see the fundamental
elements of peace with clear vision,
and probably would have gone farther
had it not been for Austrias depend
ence upon Germany.
