Bent Peace She Can (Special to U10 Italian-American News ..-( liurcau, Chicago.) ' ROME, Sept. f!0. Dispatches from Switzerland, from a correspondent in- Vienna, who is usually well inc formed, give confirmation that the German government was In full accord with Vienna's peace move. It may be said with certainty that Austria wus not acting all alono, . , , It muybo remarked that one part of the Austrian press holds no false il lusions about the success of the proposal,- although in reactionary and government circles there Is hope of de riving some benefit from the offer, even though it ill rejected; '-: il ! l i; Tha German government, in giving iS-assentu to tho move of Austria, was impelled by the desire to gnjn timo for military reasons, through the fatuous hope -of succeeding in creating din cord among-the allies, and by the In tention of showing the German peo ple that blame for continuing the war Bhould not be placed on Prussian mili- . torlsm. . . . . In any case it is learned from an nutlmritutivo sorccu that the dejection' of the new proposal by the nlliesill rot end tile of forts of : Austria for pence, ! Matters will not be preelol-; tilted, but assurance Is given she will improve every opportunity to declare that the proposed conference was not suggested as a peace conference, but for a discussion by which basic prin ciples .might be established for the discussion of peace. . .--.- It is notorious that In Vienna there .is a strong fnction which insists the govornmept has a. clear notion of the preliminary points of the peace de manded by the entente, and this ele ment says it is absurd to put out a pence proposal in the hope that those points- will be reduced to their lowest terms. The situation In the Dual Monarchy -becomes more threatening overy day. If tho allied successes continue' f,6r a while longer it may break out in ways sho Is unprepared to meet as they are unexpected. '. :.-. .: , .n ' It is impossible to read German or yVustrinn newspapers without seeing unmistakable signs of the disintegra tion of the Austrian empire, and of tho increasing impotenco of the authori ties. ..The German press openly expresses concern over tho continued differences between the governments of Berlin and Vienna. nnd its unxioty about the growing agitation of tho Csotho Slavs which Austria does not want or cannot suppress. Th'o extremist newspapers attack tho Austro-Ilungnrian government, charging It with furnishing the nllics With pi-oof of tho weakness of the central empires. j SHERRY'S lil 1ST IjYTTKIiIi WINS Hl'lVKHS - "No Man's Land." a screen ver sion of tho novel of tho sumo name by l.ouls Joseph Vance, with Bert I vtoll as tho star will ba the at li action at the Sliorry Theater lust showing todiiy.
