Advised of Peace Move.

Washington. and Bulgar-
ian representatives are endeavoring to
approach entente diplomats in Swift
zerland on the subject of peace.
Press dispatches on April IL report
ing Bulgarian efforts in this line de-
yeloped that II is known here not only
that Bulgaria has taken soundings,
but also that there has been similar
action In the name of Austria-Hun
gary. Whether the two countries are
working separately or together is not
known, nor has any reference been
made to the attitude of Germany or
Turkey.
Officials here see in the Austrian
and Bulgarian action merely an ex-
preston of WEAKNESS with the war
and anxiety to bring 1t TO an end
without, however, involving any indi-
cation OF desperation on their part
which would make them propose
terms acceptable to the entente. As a
result there Is every evidence that the
informal efforts now being made mark
merely a step in the long road that
will eventually lead to peace and do
not offer hope of real negotiations in
the near future.
This opinion is strengthened by the
fact that the entente diplomats have
not accepted the suggestions made to
them for private conversations, but
have indicated, on the other hand, that
they win not go into any such discus
sion blindfolded. They have left the
impression that they stand on the gen,
eral principles enunciated by their
government that the entente nations
win not enter peace conference until
their enemies have made public their
terms.
Independent soundings by Austria
and Bulgaria, even II entirely tenta.
tive, have attracted interest here,
however. as showing the dlssatisfac-
tion OF those two governments with
the course of the war and their appar.
ent anxiety to negotiate directly and
not through the medium OF Germany.

Buenos Aires.-The newspapers of

Brazil.
The transport Pampa is a vessel of
1920 tons. 1t was built for the Ar
gentinian government in Glasgow in
1895 and was formerly known as the
Barcelona.
The German minister on Thursday
afternoon conferred with the minister
OF foreign affairs with the idea OF
learning the purpose of the answer
Argentina had made to the Unitnd
States regarding it's war declaration.
The foreign minister informed the
German diplomatic representative that
the answer was couched in proper
terms.
The suppression Of the announced
public manifesto which he claimed af-
fected the neutrality of Argentina was
demanded by the German minister, to
whom the foreign minister replied that
he was ignorant of the terms of this
manifesto, but that he could reassure
the German minister on the subject of
the correct demeanor of the Argentine
people. In any event, the foreign min
lister added, the authorities would see
to the strict enforcement of all the
established laws and regulations.
