Stands PLOT TO SPLIT ALLIES Teutons Also Count on En- tcnte Being Willing to For- I 5 sake Slav Nation i WASHINGTON, Feb. CtS. ' Germany ia making a new peace drive, now that bIio has bagged a goodly section of Russia, That was tho meaning International experts placed today on the more con r Malory tone adopted by Count on Hcrtllns In his reply to rrcsldent Wilt on'sl peace, terms note. And, further, mmo of tho experts oxw an effort by Ue'rtling to split tho Allies, relying; upon them to have letts differing from Frerldent 'Wilson In hla four cardinal bases for peace discussion. Tho Chancellor's acceptance of the four principles, was regarded as Indi cating that at his peaco table discus sion there would' bo little haggling oter nussl3. If Trench, Belgian and tome Balkan questions could be ad Justed. In fact, It was felt that Ilertllug's moe harked back to Llod Cieorge'u Initial war alms speech In which ho virtually casttHusMa adrift, warning br that she would be left to her fato a Cierman hands If she continued In her peace course. may SAcmricn russia Well Informed Englishmen in this country have paid recently that they doubted Englandwould fight on long to. wrest Russian territory from a Teu ton grp, oven though German retcn- illonof It was u strong step toward formidable strengthening of German domination, Further, Italian Foreign Minister Sonnlno's newspaper Inti mated after Lloyd George's speech that there might be little In tho way of peace If Germany restored Belgium, cleared out of northern Trance, gave A 'Italy Trent and Trlcst, and did her expanding In Hussln. What President Wilton will do was something no on" hero could posi tively fdthoui tod is . Thai ho will niako some rejoinder i Ulaly, how ever. But It l.i a uutttion whether ho will yield to Ilcrtllng'a suggestion that tho other nations must accept .and express the four cardinal Wilson Ian bases. APPEALS TO PACIFISTS Hertling bubtly appealed to the "pa cifists of tho Allied countries to Join in pressure on their Governments for a statement coinciding with Wllron'e. There can bo no mistaking that Ger many wants peace, but a ptaco ad vantageous to herself. She has not altered her Imperialistic alms and the military party Is still In power. Her acceptance of tho principle of self-determination of nationalities U believed based upon tho theory that then she can coerce the captured Itus Man provinces Into siding her way, especially as there Is a strong Gciman dement In the population. In one sense, though tho Chancel lor's declaration 'MM further clcaru tho air. for every statement on the tub. ject of peaco is regarded as ono step nearer actual negotiation. Military men feel that tho delay of 'the long advertised west front offen sive is partly explained by tho manl fest fact that Germany is striving to get peace by iflgotlalloii while her Rus sian "victories" nro stIU fresh and while the terrltorl uccount stands to her credit on tho International .books.

Following tho inauguration of "Vic tory bread" sesterday tliere has been widespread confusion 011 just what is required on a wheatless day. fc'om'e of tho restaurants refused to servo bread containing any wheat flour. Most of tho largo hotels serted bread and rolls made entirely of substitutes jesterday. The ruling Issued from the oflice of Jay Cooke, Federal food admlnlstiator for Philadelphia, follows: "A wheatless day is a day designated by the President to remind the American public that the hungry toldlers and civilians of the Allied nations depend on us for wheat Previous to February 21 a public eating place could not servo wheat bread and at tho same time ob serto a wheatless day. Hlnce the ad ent of victory bread the new war loaf may be serted on wheatless days.
