tain of one of the vessels captured by the

attacking the United States as an unscru-

pursuit of wealth.

denounced the Germans in Brazil, accus-

their native country and with having

Think Presidents Address
If Made Public in Germany
Will Add to Peoples Unrest

Whether the German government will
permit publication in Germany of
President Wilson's address was a Ques-
ton of great interest today at the
State Department. The sharp line
drawn by the President in his address
between the German people and the
autocracy which rules them is regarded
as providing additional fuel for the
unrest in Germany which has been rec
mann Hollweg.
The extent of the unrest and the at
titude of the authorities toward it is
treat publication of the President s
address.
Proposal Causes Surprise.
Reports from Berlin that Count
Czernin. Austrian foreign minister, had
proposed a conference of belligerents
without cessation of hostilities caused
surprise at the State Department
where 1t was said that no such definite
information had been received. Count
CZernin is known here only to have
said that the central powers still con-
sidered open their peace offer of De-
cember IL. but that he had added to
that offer the suggestion of a confer
ence during hostilities provided new
angle.
Officials felt at once. however, that
the time for such a conference abso-
lutely has passed. The view is being
adopted here that no negotiations can
be begun until Germany has laid down

States apparently would be as loath as
the allies to enter a blind conference.
The sharp focusing of attention
throughout the world by the Presi
dents address on the present autoc-
racy of Germany is expected to make
some curtailments of that autocracy es-
sential as peace preliminary. The
British and French, even before the
terrible devastation of northern France,
have many times, even in high quar-
tiers, demanded actual capital punish
ment for a few leading statesmen in
Germany to whom the war is attribut-
ed. The attitude of the United States
toward those officials while not so bit
ter, will nevertheless tend to increase
that feeling. 1t is very probable, there
fore, that general condition of peace
will be some very decided action to-
ward the autocracy.
Germany May Use Coercion.
While the Austrian. Bulgarian and
Turkish situation remains just as it
was for the present so far as this coun-
try is concerned, it is probable that
Germany will force those nations to her
side. Austria, deeply affected by
freedom in Russia. and fearful of a
break with this country; Bulgaria. al
ready satisfied with her war results,
anxious for peace without disaster;
Turkey overrun from four sides
through her richest territories by Rus
sian and British troops, are known to
be ready for peace negotiations. on
very reasonable terms Germany. how
ever, has built up during the war
domination in those countries which
may not be broken.
Count Tarnowskf, whom President
Wilson said could not be received as
Austrian ambassador, now Is expected
to ask for his safe conduct home. Of
fcials had hoped to avoid a break with
Austria and have postponed it as long
as possible. lust after the receipt of
the Austrian note affirming Germanys
decree. Count Tarnowski was told that
he could not present his credentials,
and it Is thought to be as a result of
this that Ambassador Penfeld has been
summoned home from the American
embassy in Vienna Full diplomatic re-
lationship would under such conditions
not exist, and little doubt is felt that
the next step will follow within a few
days.
