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.

VICTORY BREAD MIX-UP
ON WHEATLESS DAYS
May Be Served in Restaurants, !

"Victory bread," e-ontalnliig 20 per!
cent wheat substitute', may bo serted In I
public eating p'accs on whealless dat., I. nlted States. Attorney Kane tins aft
but mu't nat bo eaten in Philadelphia, """ announceii that lie would rigidly
, . , . . ., ,' 1 enforce ctery provision of tho nccnt
homes under an Interpretation issued ci forbidding the sale of liquor to men
today by the Federal food adminlstra
tion for Philadelphia.
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. How.
eer, it is tha hope of tho food ad
ministration that the bakers of victor'
bread will mix a higher percentage of
substitute cereals In the, dough prepared
for Mctory bread that Is to bo fold on
wheatless das.
"In the homed a strict obsertanco of
a wheatless dav requires abstinence from
all wheat products. Including ctea Mc
tory bread,"
"Food and the War" Is the title of a
series of ten essoin on food conserva
tion prepared for -tho American schools
by J. liussell Smith under the auspices
of tho committee of public safety.
Copies of this book will be distributed
to the local schools and taught In class
work under a regular schedule. Su
perintendent Garber said today he was
arranging for the distribution and for
the, establishment of work along these
lines.
Victory bread, whereby wheat Is being
saved for tho Allies, scored thousands
of compliments today at lunch. .
"It can't be beat," sajd a pompous
looking man In a certain le.itaurant
