WASHINGTON HEARS THE
CAR SEEKS PEACE
Count Witte Was in Berlin Before
Death as Special Envoy to
Kaiser, Is Report.

Washington. March 30.-The state
department has received authoritative
information that Count Witte, EXPIRE
mier of Russia, was in Berlin negoti-
ating peace with Germany prior to
his sudden death.
The negotiations interrupted by the
decease of the great Russian peace
statesman viii be taken up anew by
another representative Of the car.
When this viii be done is not
known, but the Berlin government all
along has realized that If it is to win
in the great contest under way it
can be only through the detachment of
of Russia from France and Great Brit
ain.
Indeed. the diplomatic plans of the
German foreign Office contemplate also
the withdrawal Of France from the
war and consequent isolation of Great
Britain.
The czar and White we're for peace
with Germany. The party of Grand
Duke Nicholas is for a continuance Of
tic al Win lut dlllbSs Il Ills party
is the military party. and il its aims
are thwarted there will be danger of
revolution in the great Slav empire
and the overthrow of the present en-
peror.
Exactly what terms Germany was
willing to offer Russia as the price OF
withdrawal from the struggle, repre-
sentative os the United States have
not been able to ascertain.
1t is assumed the kaiser's govern
ment would agree to the reconstitu-
ton OF the independent kingdom of
Poland. Undoubtedly also 1t would
aid Russia in acquiring free access to
the Mediterranean by means of con-
cessioIs to Turkey.
The Germans had everything to gain
ano nothing to lose by peace negotia-
tons with Russia. II the negotia-
tons We're successful, then great
step toward German victory would be
achieved

WAR COUNCIL

Kaiser and Won Der GoItz Dis

DARDANELLES DEFENSE SAFE
German Military Commander Of Turk
ish Forces at constantinople
Says New Attack on Forts
Is Awaited Without Fear

London, April 1.-Germany's next
move in the military field because
some strUh- either in the East or
West is expected before the allies at
tempt their spring advance - is at
present the chief subject of specula-
ton and conjecture
According to reports reaching here
from Petrograd the German emperor
is now at Berlin holding a war council
with Field Marshal Won der GoltZ, the
German military commander of Con
stantinople, and otner leaders, and Is
planning a new campaign to Offset
the fall of Przemysl and to meet the
situation in the Dardanelles.
There has been nothing of an out
standing nature In either theater OF
the land operations since the surren-
der Of the Austrian fortress. Fight
ing, fierce but indecisive, is raging in
the Carpathians and there has been
a succession of battles in northern
Poland in which both sides claim to
have been victorious.
The official German statement of
Tuesday asserts that 1000 Russians
were killed and 5000 captured in an
engagement at Kr&5nopoL In the
German occupation of Tauroggen, it
is claimed that 1000 prisoners we're
taken Russian attacks at other
points are said to have been repulseG
The latest statement from the Pet
rograd war office is that the German
offensive movement in this region has
been checked
The Austrians admit the Russians
have assumed a vigorous offensive in
the Carpathians. but insist all their
attacks have been repulsed.
One hundred and sixty thousand
Germans have arrived in Austria, ac-
cordng to a Berne cable to the Lon
don Post These have been sent to
Craoow and the Carpathians to help
repel the Russians.
The Austrians have improved their
advantage of having forced the Rus
slams to withdraw from Bukowina. for
in an advance from Czernowitz the
Russians admit the Austrians crossed
the Russian frontier and advanced
half way to Chotin. Already the Rus
slams are sending troops to that Sec
ton to repel the invaders.
