Amsterdam, April 1s.-ThesB udta--
pest correspondent ofSthe Tagss2ei-
tung, Of Berlin, says he is s1se /
infornedp that Frederic c; Penheld,
former American Ambassador to
Austria-Huhgary, before his depart
IRE from Vienna made definite pro
nosals for the separation of Austria
Hungary from Germany and the
conclusion Of an agreement with the
entente.
The basis Of this arrangement, the
correspondent says, was the .cession
bv Austro- Hungary of part of Gallcia'
the Trentino, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
as an offset against which it would
receive Bavaria and silesia after
GerInany's defeat.
This proposal was given In sucn a
form, says the correspondent, that
Mr.. Penfeld realized the usefulness
of prolonging his stay at Vienna.
The Frankfurter Zeitung, copy OF
which has been received here, says the
German people and the imperial gov
eminent desire peace.
"The people and the government
the newspaper adds, "also desire re-
formation in internal German condi-
tons, but we will not permit outsiders
to confuse the two questions in or
der to make characterization of our
state the price of our attaining peace
We reject such interference in our at
fairs"
Berlin, April 1s..-Emperor Charles
of Austria is quoted by Bjorn Bjorn'
son as saying in an interview at Lux
emburg, near Vienna:
81 believe know war better thar
most of the men who are at the heac
of the enemy powers today. know
not only the financial and economic
effects of war, but l know also what
it means to die in the trenches. / have
lived long time in the field and have
seen men fall and die at my feet
Therefore I know also, maybe bette,
than any other emperor or king, what
peace means"
