"BREID PEICE” HUGE JORE ON GEDMIN MILITIHISM * After Four Years of Bloody War Meglomaniacs Give People Little “Bread" NEW YORK. Feb. 12. —The hollow- I ness of the central empires' separate ' agreement with the Ukraine republic is being quickly realized by the Teuton people. The prestige of the German militar ists will not be Increased even momen tarily by the Brest-Litovsk treaty, for there is no territorial gain to the cen i tral empires. Austro-Hungary, in fact, by recognizing the independence of i Ukraine, specifically abandons the previ ous imperalistic demand for the annex- L ation of that part of Russia to Galicia. The people of Austro-Hungary. there fore. have no further imperialistic rea son for continuing the war. Count Czernin has intimated that Austro-Hun gary doesn’t want Poland and does not desire to annex Italian or Serbian terri tory. Thus the Ukrainian treaty be comes in effect a formal repudiation by ’ Austro-Hungary of the German ideal tof militaristic aggression. The German people are already begin ning to r£fer to the Ukraine pact as a “bread peace.” There could be no more contemptuous and ironic criticism of the kaiser and his pan-German megalo maniacs. After nearly four years of warfare the German militarists return home from a peace conference holding no Indemnities and no territorial loot and able to say only that they have ar ranged to supply Germany's hungry millions with a little more bread. There has been no more complete anti-climax to militaristic ambitions m | the history of Europe. The kaiser has [provided a little more bread for Ger ; many but no diminution of blood-let i ting. The three western democracies are preparing to attend to that. The Ukraine treaty as a “bread peace” is l already contributing to a better under- , standing among the German people of the failure of the Hohenzollern militar- | ism. Army Officers Confident Western Line Will Hold WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.—How Rus sia's complete withdrawal from the war will affect the allies and the United I States in a military way cannot be ac- 1 curately estimated at this time, officials I here believe, despite the fact that on I paper the Russian collapse would seem I to give the Germans a great numerical i superiority of troops on the western front.. Officially there is nothing to be said on the* subject, because the government has no official information. Military men. however, confident that the allied line on the western front will hold against any German force that can be thrown against it. profess not to re gard the Russian separate peace as the menace it would appear on paper. The fact that 1,500.000 German pris oners will be freed to return to Germany ;is regarded with no alarm at all. Mili tary men say they could not quickly be reorganized into efficient military units. The general opinion here is that Ger many would be more interested in keep ing the prisoners in Russia rather than risk having them carrying Bolshevik doctrine back to Germany. The One Hundred and Forty-seventh German and Bulgar divisions on the Russian front, which will entirely be re . leased by a separate peace, are regarded as already having been stripped of their effectives which have been transferred to the western front. Military experts say. in addition, that Germany would be obliged to keep some of these 147 divi sions in the vast conquered territory for garrison purposes. The one outstanding fact is that the military experts are sure the reinforce ments the Germans can draw from the Russian front cannot overwhelm the western line. Russia at this time owes the United States $187,779,000 advanced for sup plies which already have gone to Russia For that sum the government holds Rus sian bonds. Whether this vast sum will be a total loss to the United States de pends on whether the ultimate govern ment in Russia decides to repudiate the debt. A credit of $325,000,000 was es tablished at the treasury for Russia, but only $187,779,000 was used when pay ments weer stopped.

The relative strength of new crops is not due to weather conditions or new crop prospects gen erally, Nut to the present view that peace pros pects seem further removed and fall into the next season rather than the present, which causes shifting of interest in favor of new crop months. Weekly statistics tomorrow promise a some what better comparison with last year.

SHEPARD & GLUCK’S COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, La.. Feb. 14.—1 t was a small market in cotton today but the tone held steady in the face of bearish features that de veloped. It looks very much as if recent sell ing has created a considerable short interest, which, together witli the lack of rains in Texas and the healthy feeling in the spot demand, sus tains values around present levels. On the opening there was a • rise of 2® 10 points after which the market fell off to a net decline of 3 points on the easiest months. This was the full response brought out by the small American mill consumption for January. Latet, the trading months movtsi up to a net advance of 12® 16 points, but in the early afternoon an other sagging movement carried prices down to a net advance of 5® 10 points. The census figures showed consumption tn this country during January of 524.083 hales, not including linters, against 601.381 during January of last year. This was about ex pected, in view of the fuel holidays and tbe difficulty our mills are finding in transporting their purchases of raw material. Mill stocks at the end of January were only 1,697,445 bales against 2.306,088 a year ago. the northern mills bolding only 593.148 bales against 1,011,- 'OB. Heatless Mondays are now being discontinued over the greater ]>art of the country atul we look for constant imirovement from now on in the freight ami fuel situation. On this basis alone we think cotton is a purchase.
