GERMANY MAY NOT PERMIT
 PUBLICATION OF MESSAGE

Washington, April 3.-Whether the Ger man government will permit publication in Germany of President Wilson's ad- dress to Congress was question of great interest today at the state department. The sharp line drawn by the President in his address between the German peo- pie and the autocracy which rules them is regarded as providing additional fuel for the unrest in Germany.
 Reports from Berlin that Count Czernin, Austrian foreign minister. had proposed a conference of belligerents without 8 cessation of hostilities caused surprise at the state department, where it was said that no such definite information had been received
 Officials felt at once that the time for such conference absolutely has passed. The view is taken that no negotiations can be begun till Germany has laid down
