GERMANS NEED NOT EXPECT PEACE YET Hertling - Warns That At ties Show No Inclination to Quit HEAVY SACRIFICES LIKELY TO COME But Everything Is Ready and Army and People May Be Relied On. Copenhagen.?Germany should not indulge in delusions that world peace Las been accomplished yet, Count von Hertling, the imperial chancellor, declared in concluding his speech in the Reichstag on the peace treaty with Russia. He added: "There is not the slightest inclina Lion yet perceptible among the F.ntente states to terminate this terrible war. We, however, shall not los?* faith. We are prepared and everyi u: : . * > * liin^ n-a'iy. r uiinpr neavy sacrifices may come, but 1 am confident m ur just cause, our incomparab'o army, its heroic leaders and the stead fast nation. Responsibility for further bloodshed will fall on the heads of those desiring- its continuance." Dealing With Trotzky. Baron von Dem Bussche-Haddenlausen, under secretary for foreign affairs, explained that Germany hurt .dc.pted a sharper and finner method m the second phase of the Russian negotiations because it realized that Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minis* or, desired not peace, but to instigate Germany to rebellion and counted on a revolution in Germany am! Austria-Hungary to help him veil the fact of Russian defeat. "Our instigators," the under secretary said, "gained the impression that the Russians expected far more ever? term* after they had forced us to a fresh appeal to arms and their protest thut they were forced to ac ?pt our terms without sufficient time for negotiation was a mere attempt to save their own faces. Every T.ing had been discussed fully in December, and the only new demand after the ultimatum was that regarding Kars Ardahan and Batoum (tin peace treaty provides that these districts in the Caucasus shall be cede:! to Turkey)." Czernin Becomes Dumb. Zhrich.?Con trust ing the utterances of Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General von Ludendorff with the speech made in the Reichstag late in Tcbruary by Chancellor von Hevt-' l?ng\ The Avbeiter Zoitung, the socialist organ of Vienna, asks whether the latest Berlin conference led to the adoption of a new policy. The paper argues that neither France nor Great Britain will accept a weak peace and says the peace which Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungurian foreign secretary, promised au-i doubtlessly honestly desires, is now scoffed at everywhere as a weak peace offer. Nothing more, the paper adds is heard of Count Czernin's offer to President Wilson to enter into negotiations. It continues: "Count Czernin has become quite dumb and modest, while the greatest decisions are being taken in Berlin, London and Paris." o NOTICE OF SALE.

Beginning1 with the baking trade, which uses 40 per cent, of the wheat flour consumed in the country, the administration has approved plans for ,a division of flour supplies between shops, sharing of wheat substitutes, and for a nationwide educational campaign to eliminate waste. Further restrictions on the con- j sumption of wheat which were an- j nouneed last week as under consider-. ation, will be put into effect next. Aside from the shortage of wheat' in the United Slates, another serious problem is confronting the food ad- j ministration in making good promts-; cs to the allies. Not a single week's ! shiprm nts of grain and cocoas abroad i has equaled the announced program since January 1, that there ix> mains a deficit of 812,000 tens to bo made up. Shipments reached a low pcUnt in the week of February 1 to 7 as the culmination of weeks of bad weather Improvement has been shown since,! but even v/ith clearing weather, it lias been impossible to transport the 270,000 tons promised every seven days.

Plans of the bakers for economy in their business were outlined to State food administrators bye re last week by Henry W. Stude, president of the National Association of Master Bakers, and W. M.

A general survey of the educational institutions of the country is in progress, it wj announced today, to determine what colleges and industrial schools will be available for their training during the summer months. Probably 00,000 men, obtained prin cipally from Class 1, will be ordered out for special training. Local draft boards will publish widely the opportunity that is offered to registrant*} with a view to obtaining as many voluntary inductions into the service as possible. While new requisition for skilled men made by toe war department for the remainder of 191S totals d(>f>,000 rr.cn, officials of the provost marshal general's staff believe this will m materially reduced when the various items are rare fill Iv considered.

London.?The groat battle on the western front continued until late last night, the war office reports. The Hritish are holding the enemy The statement follows: "The fighting continued until a late hour last night on the whole Hunt ooiweon tHo river Oise and the river Sensee. Our troops continued t > hold the enemy in their positions. "During- the enemy's attacks yesterday his massed infantry offered remarkable target to our rifles, mnchine guns and artillery, of which fuil advantage was taken by our troops. All the reports testify to the exceedingly heavy losses suffered by the < nemy. "No serious attack has yet developed this m.yrning but heavy fighting is still to be expected." Satisfactory to British. The eagerly awaited British official statement of today, which was expected to give further details of the tremendous fighting indicated in last night's reports, was read with great satisfaction insofar as it revealed that the enemy had been held and had suffered great losses. If this turns out to be the great German offensive that has been predicted the preliminary round appears to huY^ gone in favor of the Entente, r.lthough as the official report points out, further heavy fighting is still to be expended. The tremendous artillerv duel was heard more distinctly than owr m Kent last nighL Houses were continually shaken as the result of the violent concussions. o COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF.
