PEACE i OFFERS
WILL CONTINUE
Austria May Re Compelled .To Seek
. ! 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.
