WOULD END WAR
W|TH|TALY, CLAIM
Austrian Attempts Reported
From Rome-Sianificance
Seen in Kaiser's Visit.

LONDON. November 30-The Pail
Mall Gazette, associating Emperor Will
liam's visit to Vienna with reports that
Germany is willing to enter upon peace
negotiations, ventures the opinion
that, as already suggested. the emper-
or's trip to the Austrian capital may
represent a fresh attempt to bring
about conclusion of separate peace
between Austria and Italy. j says:
Some features of Italys attitude
may lend encoura cement TO such an
enterprise. The government AT Rome,
for reasons never disclosed. has re-
Trained from declaring war on Ger
many, and has shown no particular
eagerness to cooperate with the allies
in restoring the situation in the Bal
kans.
IF it Is believed in Berlin that Italy can
definitely be squared by a liberal sur
render of territory wherein she claims a
interest, great pressure may be
employed at Vienna 10 bring about such
a sacrifice and thus liberate Austrian
troops for other regions"
The Tribuna asserts that Austria is at
to conclude a separate peace. ac-
cording to a dispatch from Rome TO the
Exchange Telegraph Company.

Allies Statement Denied.

BERLIN, November 30. by wireless
to Sayville. y. Y.-The position taken
by the entente allies as reflected in
the semi official statement issued in
Paris to the effect that the landing
of troops at Saloniki was not a viola
ton of Greek territory, is contradicted
by the Overseas News Agency.
Reports from various sources con-
cerning French and British threats
against Greece fail to clear up the
situation" the agency says. How
ever. the general tone of the news from
French and British sources indicates
clearly that Greece has been asked 10 re-
nounce her sovereignty.
Attempts to justify this course are
all in vain. NJ. NeniZelos. the former
premier, had not the right under the
constitution to sanction the landing of
troops at Saloniki. The Greek con-
stituton states, in clause SO, that the
sesses the right to decide such uues-
tions. Therefore King Constantine is
merely defending the integrity of the
constitution against conspiracy, which
shows that reproaches directed against
him have no just basis
The French and British attempts to
compel small neutral nation to con-
sent to the measures Ia ken proves that
the entente thinks might is right
