AUSTRIANS INSIST
ON PEACE DEBATE
Socialist Deputies Declare En-.
tire Monarchy Wants the
War to End.

AMSTERDAM, June 2s.-The Austrian
lower house debated yesterday an in
terpelIation introduced by the Socialist
members Daszynski. stoyan and Hruban
favoring the opening OF peace negotia-
tions. Herr Dassynski contended that
all the peoples Of the monarchy shared
in the desire for peace and that 1t was
high time for the Government to make
known Austria's war aims and peace
conditions. The Interpolation also
urged the right of the peoples to deter
mine their own destinies.
Premier Won Seydler took exception to
the interpretations and insisted upon the
necessity Of upholding the alliance with
Germany. He stiGmatixed a. erroneous
the assumption underlying Herr Daszyn-
skis questions. that the Astfo-Hun-
garian Government acknowledged the
right OF nations to determine their own
fate. as q basis for lasting peace. The
Government. he said. took It's stand on
the Constitution. whereby It reserved to
the Emperor the right TO conclude peace.
On the basis Of those positive peroga-
tives Of the crown the Austro- Hungarian
Government, In concert with IL allies,
was always ready to enter into neGotia-
tions with the enemy for an honorable
peace. but firmly declined any other
basis for peace negotiations.
THE Foreign Minister" continued the
Premier. has openly expressed our
readiness to conclude al honorable peace
containing guarantees for the assured
development Of the empire So long a.
our enemies refuse to accept this stand
point we shall continue to fight. firmly
trusting that the heroic deeds of our
army and the self-sacrifice of the home
land will bring tho reward Of an honor
able peace to the peoples Of tho mon

Thompson's official mouthpiece. the
Republican. 1t became known to-day.
The weekly. which is supposed to reflect
the views OF the Mayor and his political
guardian. Fred Lundin. has been under
ofY,cial scrutiny for several weeks as the
result of a series Of bitter attacks on
President Wilson's war policies. Hinton
q. Clabaugh. divisional chief OF the
bureau of investigation. has been watch
ing each issue. and copies have been for
warded to Washington for the perusal,
IL is said, Of President Wilson and At
torney General Gregory.
The Mayor gave out a new statement
to-day. picturing himself as a martyr
who had been crucifed by 'pro-foreign-
ers because he himself Is so intensely
pro-American." The statement was
prompted by sighting references made
TO his patriotism at meeting last night
In Detroit.
The judiciary committee OF the city
Council to-day decided to censure Mayor
William Hale Thompson for his action In
