German Paper Hits Dumba

Amsterdam, July 1.-The "Berliner
Tages Zeitung" sharply criticises an
article in the Vienna "Neue Frele
Presse" by DR.. Constantin Dumba. in
which the former Ambassador TO the
United States said it was gradually
being recognized in Austria-HunGary
that peace could issue only from a
compromise and could be dictated by
neither side. These remarks. the news
paper declares, have created an IN
pleasant sensation in Germany.
The utterances Of Won Hindenburg
and Ludendorf to the effect that peace
when il comes must correspond to the
sacrifices of the German people, says
the newspaper, expressed the senti-
ments Of the majority OF the German
neople. It urges DR.. Dumba to OBJ
.erve more reserve and to refrain
from from making more difficult the tasks
Of his colleagues in Office and the mill
tary leaders.
