WASHINGTON, June 23.-Regula-

approval, contains provisions for every

FORECAST AUSTRIAN TERMS.
Correspondence Bureaus Program Was
Apparently Official

COPENHAGEN, June %. Assump-
tion that the .survev of the Austrian
public opinion on war aims, circulated
by the Austrian correspondence bureau
represented the Austro Hungarian gov
ernment s program of peace terms is
confirmed by an article i'll the Lemberg
Gazette, reproducing these conditions of
the official program.
The article, for which high authority
is asserted, saws that Serbia and Mon
i tenegro must find their future economic
| development in close association with
| Austria Hungary. In other words, it
proposes a customs union. 1t holds
| that Lovcen mountain, in Montenegro
must be retained as the key Of the Gulf
of Cattaro, and that Albania must have
autonomy under military and economic
suzerainty of Austria Hungary.
Discussing Rumania, the statement
says that this question is for Austria
Hungary identical with the Danube
problem, and arrangements must be
made for a free, open Danube route
not subject to the control Of any for.
eign power. Finally, Austria Hungary
must have a better military frontier
against Italy, more fully protecting
Trieste and the Tyrol.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Heavy attacks b. the Germans are
continuing along the Aisnc front with
the fighting at times assuming almost
tlc proportions of general engagement
No substantial successes have attended
the Crown Prince 5 efforts The Crown
Prince S primary purpose apparently is
To forcstall the renewal Of the French
offensive movement which was expected
in this important sector. Southwest and
south of the fortress of Laonnc are the
German key positions, which would be
seriously mcnaccd by any further French
advance. SO far as appears Gen. Pctaiu
has lost none of his commanding posi-
{ ons while the Germans have sacrificed
J aHily for such small gains as they have
been able to effect. The plan of the
Germans seems to bc TO launch heavy
forces on comparatively narrow fronts
in the area under attack. They pcnc-
trated a salient in the French line yes
t'rdav ON the Chcmin-De Danes in one
such attack. Last night they tried to
dcbouch from the ground thus gained,
but found all their efforts broken up bv
French fire. Other attacks to the west
and near Cheyrcaux and other points
u the cast were likewise futile.
