very fond of veal"
At this hint the phrenologist nodded
gratefully. He then read out the black
smiths bumps, crediting him with all
sorts of virtues, and finally he said, in
a loud positive voice, Now l come
to your diet. Gents, there is one

President Wilson More Hopeful of

Lloyd George.

5olsheVlki PerpIex the Germans by
Abandoning the War Without Siun-

rate Peace-AII Ready for West
Front Offensive.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

President Wilson believes Count
Czernin meant what he seemed to say
in his recent speech on peace, and
still hopes AustriaH Hungary may be
separated from Germany and that the
war may he brought to an end with
out great deal more of fighting.
Premier LlOyd-GeOrge believes that
in its real substance the Czernln adj
dress was as uncompromislng as that
Of Chancellor Won Hertling and that
the allied war council at Versailles
was right when it declared peace must
be won by force of arms.
In his address to congress on Mon
day Mr.. Wilson enunciated the four
cardinal principles to which he said
the enemy must agree before general
peace pourparlers can be begun. Brief
ly, these are:
Each part Of the final settlement
must be based on essential justice to
insure permanent peace.
No peoples shall be bartered for the
gain of my sovereignty or to retain
the now discredited "balance Of pow
err"
Territorial settlements must be for
the benefit of the people and not of
neighbOring states.
All well defined national aspirations
must be satisfied.
Until peace based upon these prln-
clples is secured, the president assert
ed, America has no choice hut to go
on. and will continue its mobilization
of its resources until the whole
strength Of the nation has been put in
to this war of emancipation. He de
nounced the stand of the imperial
chancellor but seemed to invite Count
Czernin to lead Austria away from It's
autocratic ally

Though hailed as n sign of weaken

presidents speech Is not so regarded
by his fellow countrymen Many Of
them may believe he is overoptimistic
concerning Austria, as does Lloyd
George. but they accept at It's face
value his statement of the nations de
termination not to stop fighting until
the results he demands have been
achieved They feel no harm can re-
suit from leaving open the door to pos
sible negotiations with any one Of the
central powers. provided there Is no
letup in our war preparations because
of the bare chance that they may not
be needed.
Premier Lloyd Georges stand in sup
porting the Versailles council and
maintaining secrecy concerning the
plans decided on by it was Endorsed
by parliament. which gave him a vote
of confidence by an overwhelming ma
jority.

again that his efforts to separate Ger

Ukraine, one of the independent gov

be more serious for the allied cause
than the quitting Of the bolsheviki. 1t
has signed a separate peace treaty with
the central powers which opens to them
the possibility of obtaining immense
stores Of food from that rich grain
country. However, as pointed out in
these columns some time ago, the trans

plies can be got out only extremely
