I Count Czernin. the Austro-Hunga- | Iran foreign minister, in his reply to j |e speeches of Premier Lloyd George : Bid Fresident Wilson, made a double ! I or peace wita Kussia ana wun we : id States. He asserts that: stria does not demand an linch of i tory, not a penny of indemnity ! Russia. ; exchange of views between Aus- j Hungary and America might form J tarting point for a general peace i ssion amcng all belligerents, isident Wilson's peace conditions ; an important advance toward ria-Hungary's viewpoint. some of Mr. Wilson's proposals ia-Hungary "would gladly join." vtria-Hunsrarv, however, is loyal to Germany regarding the principle of self-determination. It as not serious enough to justify a break up of tho Brest-Litovsk parleys. Austria-Hungary is "practically m agreement" with the conditions outlined hv President Wilson as being j imperative after the war. \ CZEKMN'S SPEECH MAT BE HINT TO UMTEI) STATES i i Washington, Jan. 25.?The door is i v- not closed to a separate peace pro- ' posal from Austria. This is the comment in official quarters tonight on the suggestions o? , | Count Czernin, the Austrian premier, that profit might come from a direct exchange "between the United States and the dual monarchy. At any time that Austria-Hungary i desires, it was explained, she can sub- \ mit her position. The way lies open i ftnrougn tne medium 01 spam or bwitz- ; erland. And should it come the pro- j position would be given such c nsid- j eraticn' as it deserves. Thus far nothing official has come to indicate that Austria has any such : step in mind. The only information ' here, it was stated, was that furnished by the pre?'-, reports from Copen- 1 hagen quoting Czernin as saying that j Austria-Hungary and the United 1 States were already virtually in accord j Iin fundamental principles and quoting him as adding, in his speech before the reichrath: "It is obvious to me t&at an ex- ' change cf views between America and j Austria-Hungary mipht form the j starting point for a conciliation dis- I cussJ^on amonsr all states which have not vet entered into peace negotia- i J tions."

AT T IES MVS HVYE MORE WHEAT TO WIN THE V>'AIJ' I Washington, Jan. 2.">.?Urgent appeal v,as made to the United States by (" Great Britain today for more wheat. Without it. Lord Rhondda cabled the fcod administration, the allies may nor have food enough to win the war. Lord llhondda in a cable to the food adrninirtratVn says: "L"f!c33 you are able to send the a-lie~. at least 7n.000.000 bushels of wheat over anil ato-. e what you have exported up to January 1 and in addition to the total exportable surplus from Canada;, I can net take the responsibility of assuring our people that. there will be food eicr.gh to win the war." "Imperative necessity," the message continued, "compels me to cable yo.i j this blunt wav. Xo one knows better i i than I that the American people, regardless of national and individual i sacrif ces, have so far refused, nothing i that is needed for the war, but it now lies with America to decide whether j or not the a!!*'es in Europe shall have enough bread to hold out until the . \ i United States is able to throw its j force into the fields. I have not j minced words because I am convinced j that the American people, if they know j the truth, will not hesitate to meet the emergency." ; The food administration cabled that America would not fail to meet the ! emergency. President Wilson wilt issue tomor- | row a program for conservation and | the food administration calls upon the ' whole country to co-operate, even to the extent of making personal sncri- . fices to get the food to the soldiers. ; President Wilson's program will be voluntary in s^Jne measure but in cth- I ers it will be ouforceable under the ' food law . The food administration [ warns that the situation does not bear j of delav. "and we propose to do the j best we can on a voluntary basis, plus i what authority we do possess." No privation? are asked. There are , plenty of substitute foods that this j country can use to advantage, it was stated. Explaining the vast work of feeding ; Europe done by this country the food | administration says the demands are j growing daily. nO January 1 the country had exported 60.000,(MH) bush. j els cf wheat, comprising the normal j surplus from tV^ last harvest. In addition to the 75,000.000 bushels j now asked by Gre^t Britain, the country must find 15.0-C0.000 bushels for the Belgian relief, to prevent starva- j tion; 10.000.0-00 bushels for Cuba and I other neutrals upon whom we are do- | pendent for other foods in return.
