MUTUAL D|STRUST
!. STILL BARS WAY
TOEARLY PEACE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(copyriEht 1918 by New York Evening
Post Company

Germany and Austria's reception Of
the peace aims OF President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George did not lead to
the conclusion here that peace was at
hand. but that progress was being
made in those long -drswn-out prelimi-
naries which must precede the actual
signing of a peace treaty.
Count Czernin. OF Austria, II much
more friendly disposed toward President
Wilson's terms than Is DR.. Hertling.
the German chancellor. situation con-
ceivably growing out OF the unrest in
Austria and the clamor for peace!
Answering President Wilson after
long delay Is indeed attributed here
to the internal political disturbances
OF the central powers. In other
words, the liberal principles proclaim
ed by the President Of the United
States are bearing fruit.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1918-01-25
Chief Obstacle Remains.

But the chief obstacle to peace here
, tofore-mutual distrust-is not re-
moved by the German chancellor's
speech who suspects that even Russia
may not be in earnest Similarly,
many people IN Washington saw in
DR.. Hertling's speech a clever man.
euver to SOW dIssension among the
members OF the entente by insisting
OIL a separate discussion with each of
the respective problems involved.
The most hopeful sign Is the near
Tess to an agreement with the United
States which Count Czernin proclaims.
Instead of resenting President Will
sons declaration of war, the prin-
ciples announced by the President for
a settlement of Austro-Italian diff
culties meet with favor in Vienna.
Rioting and mutinies in Austria, the
pressure of Hungary for peace. and
other circumstances tend to support
the theory that the collapse which the
world has been expecting in Germany
will after all occur first in Austria.
German liberals, realizing this sit
uation, are pressing the German gov
eminent not to foreclose the Russian
parIeys by annexationist plans, but
to be mindful Of the Austrian clamor
for peace. Count CZernin, by an
nouncing himself in virtual agree
ment with the United States,
strengthens his hold on tie internal
situation. That is the prevalent view
here.

BeIIIgerents stu DIItrust.

The beIlIgerents still distrust each
other. There must be more exchanges
Of view and less bitterness of tone
about Zach other before a spirit OF
reconciliation sets in. The futiIity OF
denunciatory speeches has been
proved. President Wilson's moderate
words and Lloyd Georges reasoned
utterances are having their effect on
the German and Austrian peoples.
The anneXationists are still in
control but their influence can be
steadily weakened by an iteration
and reiterstion OF the things desired
by the United States and the allies.
UnquestionAbly the speeches of the
German end Austrian chancellOrs will
be answered in some way either by
Lloyd George or President Wilson

But, Notwithstanding the acceptance
OF such principles on freedom OF the

removal of economic barriers. all OF
which are abstract, attention was TO
cused on the German view Of CON

clares that she never demanded Bel

The writer of this sketch was called to Goard Springs, west of Lowell Tuesday afternoon to conduct the fun eral of Sister Lille Boyd, wife of Philo Boyd, daughter of sister Lucy Max we'll. who died at Cherryvale kan, August p, 1918.
 The large congregation that assem- bled to the funeral is an expression of the high esteem in which she was held by her kindred and friends, Brothers and Sisters in Christ many were the tear dimmed eyes and sad hearts as We laid her to rest near the home of her childhood but We sorrow not as those that have no hope. For some years ago Lille as she was familiarly call ed put her trust in Christ and went with the Baptist Church at Zion and we rest assured that she is at rest in that blessed home of the soul.
 Besides husband and little infant babe about four weeks old, she leaves a loving mother, sisters and brothers, and host of friends to mourn her loss.
 May the master comfort their hearts in this sad hour with the thought that they shall meet again.
