Honorable Peace Only.

Il must reply to Premier Lloyd George
with the question What are we finally
TO expect from the Entente? What we
desire Is quite evident from the we'll
known declarations made in Vienna and
from the demonstrations by the German
people showing that complete agree
ment exists to the vory last detail be-
tween Vienna and Berlin.
What the Chancellor and the Reichs-
tag declared is what | described months
ago as an honorable peace. which the
Vienna Government is ready to accept
and whereby 1t seeks a lasting recon-
ciliation of the nations. But there also
exists the complete agreement that we
never shall accept peace which is not
honorable for us
IF the Entente does not wish to enter
negotiations on the basis which we have
clearly indicated we shall continue the
war and fight to the last extremity.
II don't care whether this admission
Is regarded as a sign of weakness or OF
strength. To me 1t seems only sign
or common sense and morality, which
revolt against the idea of prolonging
the war. | am absolutely convinced the
Entente never will succeed in crushing
us. and since in our position of defence
we have no intention OF crushing the
enemy the war will end sooner or later
in peace by understanding,

PEACE BY TREATY

VIENNA. via Copenhagen. July %
Reiterating that Austria Hungary was
ready to accept an honorable peace. but
that the dual monarchy In conjunction
with its allies would fight to the last
extremity II the Entente Powers declined
to enter negotiations on the basis of a
peace by understanding. as recently out
lined by the German Imperial Chancellor
and the Reichsthg, Count ottokar
Czernin Won Chudenitz, the Austro-Hun
garian Foreign Minister. in an interview
discussed peace possibilities to-day at
length.
The Austrian statesman replied to the
speech made by David Lloyd George in
London July 2l. when the British Pre-
mier characterized the address delivered
in the ReichstaE by DR.. Michaelis, the
German Chancellor, as a sham. The
Count said Lloyd George was mistaken
when he represented the Reichstag peace
resolution to be "a piece of bluff"
THE Chancellor and the Reichstag." :"
the Foreign Minister said. declared that
Germany was conducting a defensive
war. and that the German people only
asked for an honorable peace by means
Of an understanding and an agreement
Offering the basis for a lasting reconcil-
iation of the nations. The Chancellor
and the Reichstag solemnly replied that
the German people desired no forced con-
quest and sbhorred economic isolation
and Indictment to enmity between ma
tions after the war.

GERMANS CAPTURE
CAPITAL OF OESEL
Cruisers and Torpedo Boats Aid
Land Operations as Much
as Possible.
GUNS ACTIVE IN FLANDERS
Bombardments Like These GEN
orally Precede Infantry
Offensive.
GUNS ACTIVE IN FLANDERS

The German forces which landed on
the Island Of Onscl at the head of the
Gulf OF Riga have captured ArenburE.
capital OF the island. and are still pur-
suing the Russians at various places.
Aiding the operations as far pos
sibie are German cruisers and torpedo
boats. which have shelicC coast bat
tercs and towns. Attempts by the
German feet TO enter the Gulf of Riga
or to operate in the waters between
Oescl and Dago Islands. however. are
meeting with resistance respectively
from the Russian land batteries and
Russian naval units. In the latter re-
gion the Germans decli,ed 10 accept
battle. and retired in the face Of the
Russian warsh!ps.
AS yet no attempts have been made
by the Germans TO effect a landing on
the coast of Esthonia and harass the
right flank OF the Russian army, and
neither has any effort been made to
penetrate the Gulf OF Finland the
waters of which arc heavily mined
and will require intensive sweeping
operations before naval demonstra-
,ion can be made against the important
port OF Reval.
In Flanders, no military operations
on a large scale have been attempted
but the big guns are carrying out
reciprocal bombardmcnts of great viO-
lence, like those which always preccde
the starting of an infantry offensive. The
| British troops have carried out several
successful raids in which severe casual
ties were inflicted on the Germans, and
prisoners and machine guns were
taken.
After the lapse OF two days. the
heavy artillery duels have been re-
sumcd between the French and the
