TAIN CONDITIONS

Correspondence of the Portland
Oregonian)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s-Germany
and Austria Hungary are prepared to
make peace at any time on these
conditions:
THAT Great Britain shall re-
spect German commerce and Ger
many's right to colonies abroad.
THAT France shall pay an in
demnity to meet the expenses incur
red by Germany and Austria in
connection with the war.
3-That buffer state, formed
through the reconstruction Of the old
Polish kingdom, be created between
Germany, Russia and Austria.
4-That Servia shall give guaran-
tees to Austria Hungary under which
she will cease her propaganda de-
signed to acquire Austro-Hungarian
territory.
SEA CONCEDED TO BRITAIN
Germany and Austria Hungary on
naval supremacy of Great Britain.
Your correspondent is in posi-
ton to affirm that this represents
the German price of peace. 1t further
can be said that Germany does not
want and never has wanted addition
al French territory, nor has the Ber-
lin government any desire to acquire
more OF Poland from Russia and
thereby increase her Polish problem.
accept the foregoing terms Germany
will be ready at any moment to
terminate the war. Otherwise
she will continue it. 1t is the in
tention OF her strategists not only
to occupy Paris. but, of greater i'm
portance in the war game, they are
playing to seize and hold Ostend and
Calais. the two ports in close prox-
unity to England.

1t is believed the German terms
have not been officially communicat-
ed to this government, nor is it
likely that anything of the kind will
be done until Great Britain shows a
disposition to make peace. That
Great Britain will make such a move
at this moment is exceedingly doubt
full
The Germans have been victorious
in every encounter on land. save
in the vicinity of the Russian from
tier. The terrain there is flat and
not easily defended and the Ger
man forces have deemed it advis-
able to fall back before the Rus
sian forces, but will make stand
at the Vistula river. where strong
Notifications have been erected. BY
The time these Notifications are at
tackled the campaign in France will
have been far advanced. 1t is the
expectation of German strategists
that within three weeks their troops
will be besieging Paris. 1t then will
be possible to detach several corps
and hasten them to the northeast
for the purpose of operating against
the Russians.
GERMANS ARE CONFIDENT.
There is absolute confidence on
the part of the Germans that they
will be successful on land. They
have no expectation that they will
he able to defeat the British fleet.
This explains why the German
fleet has not left port It explains
further why the Germans are willing
to recognize British supremacy on
the sea on condition that the Brit
ish in turn respect their CONNER
cial and colonial aspirations.
In reference to the latter. the con-
tinent on which the Berlin govern
ment particularly has it's eyes is
Africa. With France beaten to her
knees she must pay, beside an in
demnity, by the surrender Of some
Of her African territory. Great Bri-
tain and Germany will control Africa
between them II the Berlin govern
ment views are adopted.
