Spain and Switzerland Urging
German Ally to Take Advantage

By John Edwin Xtrln
Washington. Feb. 14. (I. N. R) In
tensive pressure, within and without, la
being" brought about to compel Austrla-Hung-ary
to negotiate peace. The sit
uation within the dual empire la such,
officials here said today, that a posl
' tire step toward that end will cause no
urprlse In the near future.
Confidential official and diplomatic
advices, reaching here today from Swiss
source, confirmed this view. Officials
refused point-blank to discuss these
' dispatches, some even groins so far as
to deny knowledge of them. However,
It is a known fact that such word has
reached here and now is in possession
of the president and Secretary Lansing,
filtsatloa Embarrafglnff Germany
The pressure la manyfold. The Aus
trian people themselves are .urging
- -peace to keep the empire Intact.' Hun
gary Is seething with revolutionary sen
timent, increased because of the dom
ineering; attitude of Germany and its
demand that Hungary units, released
from the Eastern front, be sent to re
inforce the German lines In the West.
The Influence of the neutral coun
tries, especially Switzerland and Spain,
now la being exerted on Austria to take
advantage of the opening afforded by
President Wilson's latest address. Then
there Is always the powerful Influence
of the Vatican, which la always on the
aide of peace, which reaches direct Jx
the very Innermost relessea of the
VlennesM court.
' It Is because of these facta that Count
von Hertllng, the German chancellor,
has decided to, reply to President Wil

Pope Seen to Iaflnenee HertUng
The Catholic influence is being di
rected toward impressing German Cathr
olics and Count von Hertllng is one of
the leaders of that faith in the view
that the pope does not consider there
Is any Justification for any prolongation
of the struggle. But up to the present
there is not the slightest Indication of
the position that the German chancellor
will take and officials and diplomats
who are following the situation with the
most intense interest have little hope
that he will meet any of the president's
demands. It is because of this belief
that interest is centered on Austria,
where the peace sentiment la so strong

on a matter of such serious Import it
would . be unlikely that the president's ,
position would be unanimously Indorsed.
And the British generally have felt bit-
ter toward Austria ever since the be-1
ginning of the war. It is accepted here
that there will be much diplomatic oaca- j
lag .nd filling for the next few days. t

It Is not likely that Count Czernln .!
will make any direct reply to President
Wilson until after the German situation :
Is defined by the imperial chancellor. '
Officials pointed out today that the '.
president in his i latest address, having
gone back to first principles, has placed
the burden of action upon the German
chancellor. His demand that von Hert
llng' say what he Intended to do with
the resolutions of the relchstag in de- j
claring for a peace without annexations :
or Indemnities was Intended to stir the !
reichatag majority to action. Count
von Hertllng, officials say, hardly can .
afford to ignore this query of President j
Wilson, and if he tries to be evasive In !
his discussion the Socialistic and Liberal
elements can be depended on to demand j
that he be explicit.
One of the Questions seemingly in dis
pute in Ubndon seemed very far-fetched
To officials here today. That was the
possibility of the Austrian attitude caus
ing friction between the United States
and the entente.1 In London some offi
cials professed to see such a danger.
Here in Washington diplomats and of
ficials were a unit in taking the oppo
site view,
It was only natural that a hasty
comparison of the statements of the
president, Lloyd George, Mr. Balfour,
Mr. Asqulth and Lord Curson would
demonstrate an apparent difference In
views, officials said, but in all consid
eration of the subject the great out
standing fact was that President Wil
son's terms remain unchanged. Peace,
when it comes, must be a peace of the
people, he says, and not a military peace.
And -to secure such a peace, the central
powers, and Austria in particular, must
demonstrate that the people subscribe
to its terms.

NEW WORLD LIFE
Stevens Bldg., Portland
Washington. Feb. 14. (I. N. S.)
Austria will not batUe for German con
quests In either Belgium or Russia.
There is in the hands of the state de
partment indisputable evidence of a1
wide split between the Austrian and
German foreign policies. It was this
evidence which prompted President Wil
son to reply to Count Czernln as he did.
It is considered likely that the lack
of tills evidence in London led King
George and Lloyd George to disagree
with President Wilson's interpretation
of the Austrian premier's speech.
The evidence is contained in the un
censored text of the Czernln speech re
ceived here through Austrian and Swiss
channels. So far as Washington knows,
London has only the text first sent here
In January. That text passed through
the hands of the German censors. The
most startling point of difference be
tween the two texts concerns the Bel
gian problem.
German Tamper lVitS Speech
It waa today Illustrated by ihe fol
lowing deadly parallel:
As the German censors let it eo to
London :
"In so far as these propositions (Wil
son's 14) concern her allies, whether in
case of Germany's possession of Bel
gium or In the case of Turkey. Austria-
Hungary, faithful to her engagements
to fight to the end In defense of her
allies, will defend the possessions of her
war allies as she would her own."
As the uncensored text reads:
"As far as the proposals relate to our
allies, arid in them there is mention of
the German holding of Belgium and of
the Turkish empire, I declare that,
faithful . to the duties of the alliance
which Thave accepted, I am determined
to go to every extreme in defense of our
allies. The state of property of our
allies before the war we shall defend
as our own."
The differences between the Herman
and Austrian viewpoints are further
accentuated through Csernln's refer
ences to the Russian peace. Declaring
that Austria-Hungary treats with Rus-'
sla on the strict "No annexations and'
no Indemnities' basis, Csernln promises '
mat not one foot of Russian territory
will Austria-Hungary accept. Nor will i
Austria pay Russia a penny indemnity.
Austrian troops, he points out, occupy
out msignuicant stretches or Russian
territory. ;
Czernln Cables to Berlin
Then treaUng of the German problem
with Russia, he merely states the Ger
man contentions with regard to the
provinces her troops occupy.
Far from defending the German con
tention for those provinces, he imme
diately follows with a statement of Rus- 1
sia's demands. I
Not only does he refuse to sustain
rjArmanv'it cnntntiona mlint thnu ar
the Russians, but the implication la plain
that he, considers the Russian argument
to hold 'much truth.
But it was the distinction of Csernln
in alluding to the property of her ally
before the war" when Germany had
title to neither Belgium nor the Russian
provinces, that called Secretary Lansing
and Colonel House into conference with
the president last week and brought
forth the speech of the president on
Monday.
The effect of calling attention to this
i nderlytng reason for the Wilson Bpeech
is expected to be " far reaching. It is
counted upon to convince the world that
the defection Of Germany's major ally is
more than a possibility.
That this is already appreciated by
Germany ia Indicated by a report which
reached here today, saying that Count
Csernln had been summoned to Berlin
