Germans Fear American intrigue.


Amsterdam, Aug. 3.-Count Won Re-
$ventlow, in an article In the Tages
Zeitung referring to Arthur j. Bal
four's speech in the house of commons
in which he spoke of the nationalism
of Austria Hungary determining the
course of their future development,
tells his readers of widespread mech
anssms of American agents in Austro-
Hungary, started by former Ambassa-
dor Penfield, long before the Austro-
American breach.
The article says that Americans be-
fore the breach talked confidentially of
the complete isolation of Germans in
Austria, while in Hungary secret or
gal.izations of Americans and citizens
Of entente nations soon would bear
fruit.
Both predictions have been fulfilled,
says the count. who darkly adds "how
long the former ambassador to Con-
stantinople, Elkus, remained in Vienna,
or Is still there, we do not know"
Balfour's idea, says Count Revent-
low. Is the dissolution of the Austria
Hungarian monarchy, which squares
exactly with the aims Of the Czechs
and Poles.

Copenhagen, Aug. 3.-According g. to
a published account Of conversations
in Dresden. Chancellor Michaelis said
that while he was ready to accept any
opportunity given him to secure an
honorable peace. the requirement Of
the hour for Germans was to avoid
any manifestations of nervousness to
prove to their opponents that Ger
many's might was unweakened.
Germanys opponents, DR.. Michaelis
said, had been greatly encouraged by
the exhibition Of nerves in the inner
crisis and by the German longing for
peace, which was interpreted abroad
as sign Of weakening Of the German
people. Peace was brought no nearer.
he said, by such things. adding that
the government would continue efforts
for peace but would avoid earlier
mistakes.
The chancellor intimated that the
prospects for q speedy peace were not
bright but that unexpected develop
ments might ut any moment bring tho
question to head and produce tan
gible results. He appealed for unity
and declared that the entire German
press must back the government in al!
vital questions.
