HERTLING TO REPLY.

1Ek LINZ " KEF 1.
Count Won Hertlire, the imperial
German chancellor, it is reported unof-
ficially, will answer President Will
sons address to congress in the Ger
man Reichstag next Tuesday,
President Wilson saw a difference
between the chancellor's recent state
ment and that of Count Czernin, the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister,
and declared that Count Won Hertling
had not withdrawn from his position
that peace should be made on Ger
many's terms.
TEUTONS IN COLLISION.
The recent speeches of Count Won
Hertling and Count Czernin were
collusive performance between the
two statesmen intended to drive a
wedge between the allies rather than
to secure peace, Earl Curzon, govern
ment leader in the House of Lords.
declared in debate today.
No attempt, he said, had been made
to meet the minimum demands of the
allies.
Earl Curzon added:
THE most critical times that have
ever confronted this country are in
front of us. But l do not think the
position is at all dangerous, and our
military advisers do not think it is.
At the same time we shall have to put
every ounce of effort into the COM
mon cause.
IF we do that, I am confident we
will win and thus save civilization"
Challenged to move want OF conf
dcnce i his government by Premier
Lloyd George, the British i'ouse Of
Commons yesterday failed to take
such action. Criticism of the Vera
sailles council and the premier's atti-
tude concerning it was voiced in the
house by former Premier Asquith and
other speakers.
Italy Will Fight On.
Before the Italian Parliament Pre-
mer Orlando has declared that Italy
will fight on until victory is achieved.
There is yet no indication that mill
itary operations on the western front
are about to be resumed on a large
scale.
Attempts by raiding parties are
growing stronger, especially on the
French front near Vcrdun and in the
Wocvre, but there have been no at
tacks in force.
German Drive Due in f-arch.
Some time in March" according to
a German prisoner, the Germans will
attack on the British front.
He did not know if general Of
fensive would be begun then, but
there is marked activity behind the
German lines.
The weather on the British front
continues favotable and the fields and
roads are drying fast.

ROADS NOT PREPARED.


MANY roads went into the winter
with no provision for taking care of
their motive power" he said.
There were no doors on round
houses, no means of heating.
Il know one instance where Is to
30 engines were kept burning all
night, using perhaps one ton of coal
each an hour to keep them from
freezing"
Long hours worked by railroad
men, Mr.. Stone denounced as a
menace to public safety.
He said majority Of yards we're
working on an eigst-hour shift until
the movement was begun for in
creased wages, when the work was
heightened to enable tie railroads to
show large amounts paid to en-
ployes.
Condemns Employment of Women.
More than half the engineers OF
the country receive less than $3.50 a
month, he said.
Employment Of women in the place
of men was condemned by Mr..
Stone.
He said women now were being
used as engine wipers, cinder shovel
ers, lumber pliers, freight truckers
and for other dirty and heavy work,
although, he declared, there we're
plenty Of men TO fill such positions.

With the American Army in France,
Tuesday, Feb. l2.-Aside from in
creased aerial activity the American
sector has been normal for the last
"a hours.
Harassing artillery FIRE and patrol-
ling operations have been kept up,
but there have been no clashes.
The American gunners are said to
be growing more accurate daily.
They have been especially effective
in registering on the roads and light
railways back.of the enemy lines.
So accurate has been the shrapnel
fire against the first lines Of the en-
emy that they are now nearly aband-

WAR POLICY MAY
CAUSE ENGLISH
PREM|ER'S FALL
Dissatisfaction Expressed il
Parliament Over Supreme
Council; Lloyd George
\ Challenges Opposition.

London Tuesday, Feb. 12.-Parla-
ment reassembcd today on tiptoe
with curiosity as to how Premier
Lloyd George would meet President
Wilson's latest declaration and the
dissatisfaction manifested over the
Versailles council and also as to how
far H. II. Asquitl, the former pre-
mier, wolld respond to the demand OF
the extreme wing of his followers for
the abandonment of policy of be
nevolcnce toward the government.
The House of Commons was not
disappointed, for the sitting proved
unusally exciting.
1t hardly could be said that Mr.
Asquitk rose to the expectation o.
his party, but t1e temper of large
section of the members seemed tc
show that such tactics would meet
with considerable support.
Denies Haig Has Quit.
At one point Andrew Bonar Law
chancellor of the exchequer, interpos,
ing to deny that Field Marshal Haiq
or General Robertson had been dis
missed or resigned, and, being closely
pressed by heckler, added: "As far
as | know"
The house then adjouned and thus
far no mc ton of want of confidence
in the government has been placed
on paper.
Perhaps the most notable feature
was the contrast in the speeches oi
the premier and the former premier
with reference to President Wilson
speech.
Contrast in Speeches.
While Mr.. Asquith endorsed fully
the presidents view, Premier Lloyd
George did not even mention Mr.. Viii.
sons last speech and declined to see
in Count Czernin's statement any
nearer approach to reasonable terms
than in Count Won Hertling's.
Moreover, the premier regarded
the German chancellor's demand thai
Great Britain give up its coaling sta.
tons as proving fully that the con.
trollers Of German policy were in nc
mood to discuss reasonable terms oi
peace.
Declaring absolutely that he would
not yield on the matter of revealing
more about the Versailles conference
Premier Lloyd George challenged the
house, if dissatishd with the govern.
ment's conduct If the war, to put an.
other government in its place.
Governments Weakness.
The question of enlarging on the
status of the Versailles council led tc
a little scene between the premier anc
Mr., Asquith and throughout his re.
marks about the council the premier
was subjected to a running fire o
heckling, punctuated with loud cheer,
from extreme liberals.
Lord Hugh Cecil, member for Ok
ford university, admitted the pre-
mler's speech was reassuring, but sale
that the eakness of the governmen
lay in the existence of coincidence.
between utterances in the press ant
certain lines of governmental action
Admiral Sir Hedworth Meux in
vlted the premier to get rid OF hi
private secretaries and also the press
which was hanging around his necl
! like an AlbatrCss."
