Washington, I). C, Jan. 2". No advance toward peace is soon here in the speeches made today in Berlin and Vienna by the German chancel lor and Austrian foreign minister upon the war aims of the central powers. Formal comment will be withheld Poultry Wanted! Vl't V' i iVJV ify-Ztf :;iV-V , W Hens 21c Springs 10c Stags J9c Ducks 18c Geese 17c Old Roosters 12c Eggs 46c F.G. DAWSON Won't Submit New Terms. The present belief of the olHcials is that there is not the slightest probability of a complianco by the United States and the allies with the final demand of the German chan cellor for the submission to them of new proposals for peace. Lord Robert Cecil, Uritish minis ter of blockade, is reported as char acterizing Chancellor von Hertling's speech as "very warlike; certainly not a peace speech" Regarding the design to affect the internal conditions of Germany and Austria, oe official suggested that the striking dilferencees of one in the two notes, the German being al most defiantly aggressive, and the Austrian compromising and insinuat ing, were calculated precisely to meet the varying conditions in the two empires. Teutons by Leon Trotzky, the bol sheviki minister for foreign affairs. This attitude officials and diplomats believe to be the result of apprehen sion that the confession at this mo-mr-nt of the failure of the Brest-Lit-ovsk negotiations would exasperate the German and Austrian publics be yond the safety point. In some quarters there was a dis position to find a grain of hope in tho concession by both speakers that there were poi?its in the utterances of Lloyd George and President Wil son that might be acceptable to the Germanic powers and afford the basis of further discussions. But other officials insisted that this was only another demonstration of the truth of President Wilson's statement in his address to congress that it was the practice of German diplomacy to mislead by declaring adherence to large principles and thf-n neutralize them by insistence upon details of quite another character. HERTLING AND COUNT CZERNIN HAKE REPLY DISAGREE WITH LLOYD GEORGE AND WILSON ON CONCRETE EASIS FOR PEACE. HOLD TO ALSACE - LORRAINE Talks to Pan-Germans. In Germany, strengthened by the Russian collapse resulting in the transfer of the vast forces from the eastern to the western front, the militaristic party is in the ascend ency and the chancellor, abandoning the conciliatory attitude he occupied when be assumed office, apparently voices the will of the military lead ers. In Austria the working people are reported in incipient rebellion,' and the demands for peace at almost any price are insistent and clamorous. This is the explanaion found here for the foreign minister's vague promise of peace without annexation or indemnities, and his special bid for negotiations direct with America. It is noted, however, that the speeches are interdependent; that Austria will not negotiate without Germany's consent and approval, and that Germany gives her sanction to what has been done in Austria. Both spokesmen express confidence in the success of the peace negotiation'; with Russia, in contrast to the bitter denunciation of the conduct of the Dark Days Are Days of Suffering They Are Be coming Brighter for Some Plattsmouth People.

They are endorsed by Plattsmouth people. Mrs. Ilettie Cummings, Chicago Ave., Plattsmouth, says: "I suffered so severely from my back at times that I could hardly get about. When I got down, I had to take hold of something before I could straighten. Sharp pains often caught me across my kidneys and for a minute I could not move, the pains were so severe. I couldn't ' rest well, my back ached so badly. I tried different remedies, but nothing did me any good until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Three boxe3 overcame that awful misery in my back and made me feel like a different person." Price COc, at all dealers.

Germany, through her imperial chancellor. Count von Hertling and Austria-Hungary, through her for eign minister, Count Czernin, have made reply to the peace terms of the allies and the United States as re cently enunciated by David Lloj-d George, the British prime minister, and President Wilson. Although both Count von Hertling and Count Czernin affect to see tho possibility of coming into agreement with their enemies on minor points, the concrete bases essential to peace are. declared to be unacceptable. The spokesman for Germany was uncompromisingly hostile to a mapority of the peace aims as put for ward by President Wilson, treating seriatim in his address those upon which Germany could not come into accord. Count Czernin was more moderate in his treatment of 'President Wil son's Ideas, declaring that the presi dent's viewpoint, expressed in his latest address to congress, showed that there was less incompatibility between Austria-Hungary and the United States than had seemed to be the case. Won't Let Alsace Go. From the German standpoint, ac cording to Von Hertling, the restora tion to France of Alsace-Lorraine is beyond the realm of discussion. Re garding Belgium, he declared that its restoration could be settled only in peace negotiations, but that Germary never had demanded the incorpora tion of Belgian territory "by viD lence." Likewise methods of procedure in the evacuation of northern France must take account of Germany's vital interests and be agreed upon between-Germany and France. The chancellor said the fate of Poland and the Balkans and the re adjustment of the Italian frontier lies with Austria, while the evacua tion of Russian territory concerns only Russia and the central powers. Germany, he added, considered that, the integrity of Turkey and the safe ty of its capital were closely con nected with the questions of the Dardanelles, which was of .vital in terest to Germany. See Exchange Peace Basis. With regard to Russia, Count Czernin said Austria-Hungary desir ed no annexations or indemnities "not a metre of territory, not a kreutzer of indemnity" and that Russia could have peace if she main tained the same standpoint as she evidently intended to do. Both Count Hertling and Count Czernin thought it obvious that the exchange, of peace views with the United States might form the start ing point for a conciliatory discus sion among all the state which had not yet entered into the peace nego tiations. In an address before the Japanese diet Viscount Motono, the foreign minister, reiterated the views pre viously expressed by Premier Ter auchi that Japan was in full ac cord with her allies in the war and that it was her intention to maintain tranquility in the far east. - On the battle fronts the fighting again has died down to small propor tions, only bombardments and small Infantr yoperations have been recorded. caused fome one to scratch his head and do a little independent think ing, with the result, in the manu facture o,f auto top?, the scraps, which were too small for use on the cars, are now being used for gloves, and make excellent ones as are ob served at the store cf the Wescott boys, in one glove we counted Fix different colors.

The reports of the officers showed good progress made in things which have been for the benefit of the city in more ways than that of just sordid business.
