Austria is eXerting every possible
pressure on Germany to make the
peace desired by the entente. Bull
gara and Turkey are supporting the
stand and are supported by Wurttem-
burg and Bavaria.
The Leipzig Volkszeitung, the lead
ing minority Socialist newspaper, de-
clares that Germany must accept Pres
ident Wilson'S doctrine of democratiZa-
ton or peace is impossible.
