THEY WANT TO KNOW.
Millions fin the Trenches Wondering
 Why They Are Fighting.


 Amsterdam, Oct. 4.-Budapest dis patches received here say that at a dinner by the Hungarian Premier, Dr. Alexander Wekerle, in honor of Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, the latter, in reply to an invitation to make a statement concerning his peace policy, said:
 ITO Talleyrand has been ascribed the saying that words are given to conceal thought. It may be that this saying was true for the diplomacy of his century. But for the present time I hardly can conceive a phrase less accurate.
 ''The millions who are fighting in the trenches Or behind the lines wish to know why and for what they are fighting. They have right to learn why peace, which the entire world desires, has not yet come. When I was appointed to my post l utilized the first opportunity openly to declare that we did not want to oppress any one, but that on the other hand we would not suffer any oppression, and that we were prepared to enter upon peace negotiations as soon as our enemies accepted the standpoint of peace by agreement"
 Count Czernin said plain state~ ment of aims was indispensable. He explained the conversion of the Gen. tral Powers to the doctrine of dis armament by declaring that arma- ments were necessary until the world was convinced that Austria Hungary was not dying state, subject to dis memberment.
