speech, still speaks In softer ae-
cents than ever have been heard
from Berlin, the morning ncwspa-
pers say in their comment on tho
Austro. Hungarian foreign minis

ipal council.
The Daily Mail characterlzcs tho
speech as austrian bluff" and says
that Count Czornin's assertion that the
blockade OF Germany liz broken In tho
east will not MI the hungry stomnchs
of Germans and Austrians. II adds
that the issue must be decided by iron

thinks that. coming at the moment IL

small share of the attention which IL
would have received three weeks ago.

TROTSKY HASHUN

THEY ARE SOON TO DEMAND A
REGULAR PEACE TREATY.

AMSTERDAM. Feb. 14.-Judging
from the latest indications in the Ger
man press is that there is much dissat-

aroused by the latest move of Foreign
Minister Trotsky Important political
military leaders are said to be confer
ring busly to find the best solution
of the puzzle.
Some papers point out that the Rus
sian war theatre is mentioned especial
ly in an official army report of Tues
day. A Berlin telegram to the Koelni-
sche Zeitung Wednesday says the gov
eminent is not willing to continue re-
lations with Russia on any basis what
soever unless the present Russian gov
eminent will sign a regular peace

DEATH CLAIMS
LITTLE ROBT. JONES
ELEVEN YEAR OLD SCHOOL BOY
BATTLED DREAD DISEASE
BRIEF TIME.

Shortly after four o'clock this morn
ing Robert Jones, the eleven year old
school boy, who became a victim Of
menengits two days ago, succumbed.
He had shown improvement yesterday
and it was hoped during the afternoon
that he would be able to withstand
the attack. During the night he grew
rapidly worse and it was soon seen
that the end was only a short time
away.
The little fellow was a nephew of
Mrs. l.. L Helms and lived with the
family on Thirteenth avenue. The
body will be taken to the grave this
afternoon and interment will follow
without a public funeral

ONWARD MOVE OF
GREAT PEACE
FARLEY
VIENNA NEWSPAPERS SAY 1T Is
TIME FOR CZERNlN TO
SPEAK AGAIN.

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 14.--President
Wilson'S latest address, Vienna news
papers believe is calmer in tone than
his earlier declarations, and perhaps
may make possible a continuation of
an exchange Of ideas, but they think
the contents of the speech hardly cal
culated to bring peace nearer
The Neue Freiepresse says Wilson
possibly has finally realized that any
policy which seeks to provoke discon-
tent between Austria Hungary and
Germany is only waste of time, es-
pecially where County Czernin is con-
cerned"
The Neue Weiner Journal thinks
there will be some disappointment in
London, Paris and Rome, that Wilson
did not allow himself to be deterrer
from replying to Won Hertling and
Czernin by the decisions of the Varsail
les council
The Arbeiter Zeitung describes the
address IS being very calm and very
objective. shrdlu
objective. 1t says it is feared, in very
conciliatory language and thinks it is
an important step towards peace.
This newspaper contends that ii is
now the turn of Hertling and Czarnin
to speak again.
