The German Gesture

THE Bolsheviki, discovering that Ger
many does not honestly stand by
self-definiton of people in the case of Po-
land, Lithuania, Livonia and Esthonia,
break off negotiations, submit counter
terms of peace, say Russia will never
consent to the "hypocritical" German
terms, and threaten to resume the war.
Meantime German radicals protest to Won
Kuchlmann that Germany is trying ndi-
rectly to annex Russian territory.

u EPORTS from England. France and
~ Germany indicate winter of pri-
vations in Europe, particularly in Ger
many. Owing to the depletion of Allied
food supplies, it is announced that after
the end Of March the United States must
largely bear the burden of feeding the
Allied armies and populations, necessity
which will probably decrease troop move
ments to France for short time.
Mr. Hoover, on the stand, routs his
critics in the sugar investigation. The
food dictator may ask Federal control of
restaurants. The food administration
considers the release Of an additional co.
100000 bushels of wheat to relieve the
Allies. Hints that the government may
take over the meat industry of the coun-
try follow Francis J. Heney's investiga.

"Temps" said:
at is the first time the President of Tho
United States has declared himself on the
A,sace- Lorraine question. We had no doubt
as to his sentiments, but are profoundly
glad that he has expressed them. We thank
him, also, for placing the problem its
true ground, in presenting the restitution OF
Alsace-Lorraine as a necessary condition for
a general peace and not merely a special
claim of the French people,"
Probably the most significant reaction
in England, aside from the general APP
prevail expressed, was British labor's
whole-hearted Endorsement through spe-
cial manifesto. 1t said, in part:
"In our judgment these two declarations
of President Wilson in favor Of open dplo-
macy and in support of revolutionary Russia
will make his Congress speech of the
classic utterances of Allied statesman ship
during the war In the detailed pro-
gramme of world peace outlined by Mr.
Wilson we find no point upon which there
is likely to be any disagreement among the
Allied democracies."
In regard to freedom Of the seas, Eng
lish comment stirred noticeably, but not
unfavorably. The point was generally
made that until some definite interna-
tional organization comes about whereby
England's safety is secured, England
cannot, of course, give up her pre-
dominating position upon the sea. 1t was
expected that Foreign Minister BalfouR
would round out English approval of the
Presidents speech in an address to be de-
livered Thursday.
The only German reaction to the speech
received at this writing is, as expected, un-
favorable. According to the Cologne
Volkszeitung," Mr.. Wilson's programme
is just as unacceptable as that of Premier
Lloyd George.

DRESIDENT WILSON has knocked
an international home run before
a grandstand packed with cheering
Allied readers, judging from press COM
ment on his unexpected address to Con-
gress OH war aims last week. Selling
upon the lull at the Brest-Litovsk negotia-
tons, the President laid down to an en-
thusiastc Allied audience democracy's
terms of peace. AS Mr.. c. w. Gilbert
says, writing from Washington to The
New York Tribune, Mr.. Wilson made a
"hnal and definite statement of the pur-
poses of the nations which are fighting
Germany, to which they will hold to the
end unless they grow weary of waiting
While American preparations become slow

English War Aims

\ FEW days prior to the Presidents
address Premier Lloyd George be-
fore representatives of the British Labor
party, restates Great Britain's war aims,
giving the most concrete outline made up
to that time by any Allied statesman. The
three principal points made by the Premier
are the establishment of the sanctty of
treaties, territorial settlement based on the
right of determination or the consent
CT the governed, and the creation of an in
ternational organization to limit arma-
ments and diminish the probability of war.
England. he declares, has no desire to
crush the German people or disintegrate
their state; Belgium must be restored, to-
gether with Serbia, Rumania, Montenegro
and the occupied parts Of France Italy and
Rumania; the matter of Asace-Lorraine
must be rcconsidered, to which end Eng
land would support France to the last;
the Turkish Empire should be maintained,
but the passage between the Mediter-
ranean and the Black Sea must be inter-
nationalized and neutralizcd; Arabia, Ar
Ecnia, Mcsopotamia, Syria and Palestine

dispatches from Switzerland. The dis

minister of foreign affairs declaring
that the Czech nations realized that lib
erty and independence would never come
to them from Austria Hungary or her
allies and that in spite Of threats the
Czechs would in no way modify their
national program, which is the applica-
ton of the principles announced by
President Wilson in all his speeches.

Greek government to obtain special
legislation before finally concluding
an agreement.
