NO OyERTUREs FOR

Washington. Dec 25.--The Austro-

tin Dumba, issued statement today
denying az quite tinfounded the pub
lished report that Austria hungary Is
tired Of the war or has been making
unofficial peace oyertnrcs 10 the al
les The statement said:
The Paris press spread from time
10 time news Of Austria Hungary, or
Hungary alone, being tired Of the war
and longing for peace. The latest re-
port alleges that Austria has made
unofficial peace oyertures to the al
Hes through Vienna bankers upon the
basis of fhe cession Of Galicla TO Rus
sia and BOSNIA to Scrvla.
The Hungarian ambassa-
dor wishes to contradict these rumors
as absolutely unfounded and misead :
ing public opinion IN the United
States. Without speaking Of the ar
ticle Of the treaty Of the dual alliance
OF 1879. according to which Germany
and Austria Hungary engaged them
selves to support each other with
their whole armies against Russia and
to conclude only con1ointly peace,
every consideration OF honor and self
interest prevents Austria Hungary
from breaking from her ally and en-
tering into negotiations for q separ-
ate peace.
The eession Of ,Galicia and Bosnia
could only be agreed upon after a
crushing defeat of the dual monar-
ehy. an eventuality which happily
does not correspond 20 the actual sit

Berlin. Dec. rs fby wireless to Say
vile, L. i)--Among the items given
out today by the official press bu-
reau are the following:
Despite the evident stubborn ma
ture Of the fighting along the whole
eastern front. Major Moraht. military
correspondent of the Tagebatt, says
he Is inclined to believe the Russian
resistance is no new offensive, but is
made up merely of rear post combats
designed to cover the retirement OF
the main armies for reorganization
back Of the middle visthla. This. he
thinks, is particularly the case in
southern Poland and Galicia, where
the nature of the terrain behind the
Russians is such that time must be
gained to permit them to reach the
position set for reorganization.
Despite all this. says Major Mo-
slams here are possible since they do
not hesitate to sacrifice great num-
bers of men"
He doubts whether the Russians
have any available fresh troops back
OF their line.
An Austrian report indicates that
the Carpathians are being cleared
gradually of the enemy but that the
latter are stubborniy holding their
own in Galicia. where Vienna has no
successes to report. On the lower
course Of the Nida river tsouthern
