AUSTRIA AND BULGARIA BOTH
REPORTED SEEKING SEP
ARATE PEACE.
EXPRESS WEAKNESS Of WAR
Suggestions 50 Yelled That Entente
Refuses to Consider Proposition
Food Shortage and Russ
Revolution Causes.

Washington .--Austrian and Bulga-
rian representatives are endeavoring
to approach entente diplomats in
Switzerland on the subject Of peace,
Press dispatches reporting Bulgar-
ian efforts In this line developed the
fact that it 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 work
ing separately or together is not
known, nor has any reference been
made to the attitude Of Germany or
Turkey
Officials here see the Austrian and
Bulgarian action merely as an Ell.
preston of WEAKNESS with the war
and anxiety to bring it 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 re-
suit there is every evidence that the
informal efforts now being made mark
merely step In the long road that
win 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 will not go into any such discus
sion blindfolded They have left the
impression that the entente nations
will not enter q peace conference. TN
til their enemies have made public
their terms.
Austria is known to have been af-
fected by war WEAKNESS and by the
Russian revolution. 1t is generally
felt there that the central empires
have reached the maximum Of their
military strength and It is feared the
upheavai across the border may find
a decided echo among Austria's con-
glomerate and disaffected peoples.
Food conditions, though satisfactory
in agrarian Hungary. are serious in
industrial Austria, and enthusiasm
among the people has fallen off alarm
1ngly.
Bulgaria likewise is troubled by
food shortage and the Russian revo-
luton. The latter has brought again
to the surface the old friendliness for
the Russian people, and has injected
into the question the decision of the
ruling class to fight against their lib
orator. In strictly military sense,
however, Bulgaria is understood TO be
stronger than at any time during the
war, as her losses have been negli-
gible.

LASTING PEACE PROMISED
ENGLISH PREMIER SENDS MES
SAGE TO AMERICA.
Bad Day When Prussia Challenged
Western Democracy--KaIser Has
Made Pledge.

London, England.-T can see peace
coming now-not a peace which IS
the mere beginning Of another war,
but real peace" was the salutation
which Premier Lloyd-George sent to
America. 1t was part Of feeling
tribute which England's prime minis
ter paid to the United States in a
unanimously demonstrative meeting
of the American Luncheon Club.
Scores Of British notables were there,
and American Ambassador Page pre-
sided.
II am the first minister in behalf
of Britain to salute America as one Of
our comrades in arms" Lloyd-George
declared. I'm glad Of tim proud
of it.
Eve rejoice that America has won
the right to be at the peace confer
ence table when the terms are fixed.
"The kaiser promised that Prussia
would be o democracy after the war, !"
the prime minister observed whim-
sically. Il think the kaiser is right.
1.-THE United States has noble ira
dition that it has never been engaged
III war except for liberty" the prime
minister continued. Americas en-
trance means something more than
waging Of an effective war-she will
ensure a beneficial peace.
ut was a bad day for the Prussian
military autocracy when 1t challenged
the great republic Of the west The
road to victory is found in the word
ships America already realizes this;
hence the proposition for a thousand
3,000-ton merchantmen.
"For three years the British made
every blunder thinkabIe," the premier
continued. 'It will be worth while
for America to study our blunders so
as to begin where we now are, not
where we we're three years ago."

RUSSIA WILL GET FIRST AID

Washington, d. C.-Efforts Of
the American government are being
directed toward assisting the newly
democratized government in Russia
to strengthen its position, lessen in
ternal troubles and quickly bring Rus
sia's latent forces to bear against
Germany.
Reports to the United States say
the difficulties Of Russia are many
and that Germany's principal object
is either to bring about a separate
peace with that nation, or, failing in
that, to stir up internal troubles and
exert unusual pressure from without.
One Of the principal objects Of the
administration desire for expedition
in getting authority from congress for
a large bond issue is to extend a loan
to the new Russian government.

SEEKING PEACE WA

WASHINGTON HEARS STOCKHOLM
HAS TERMS or PEACE
FROM GERMANY.
BERNsTORFF AT THE Bottom
King 70 Have Full Power TO Make
settlement and Kaiser Binds Self
to Abide BY Result-Not
Much Credited.

Washington, D. G. - One mure
peace report came into notice in
washington, thus increasing curiosity
over the object at this time Of the
circulation Of 80 many rumors that
one or another Of the central powers
IS ready to enter into negotiations
with its enemies to end the war.
ia this latest instance the report
was accompanied by details that at.
tracted attention to IT as possibly
having some foundation. The report
was that the state department had
been Informed by the American lega-
ton at Stockholm that the German
government had requested the king
Of Sweden to offer in its behalf to
abandon ruthless submarine warfare
as an inductement to the United
States to resume friendly relations
with Germany.
A state department official in q po-
sition to speak with authority denied
that the department had any NORMA
ton of Swedish peace move in be-
half of the German government. His
statement on the subject was posi-.
tive.
Rumor Gives King Full Power.
The story, said to have been based
on advices from the American lega-
tion in Stockholm, had 1t that King
Gustav had been given full power by
KAISER Wilhelm, or the German gov
eminent, to make terms satisfactory
to the United States.
The story attracted interest for one
thing, because Count won Bernstorff,
former German ambassador to the
United States, was recently appointed
the German envoy to Sweden, accord
ing to a statement from Berlin, and It
was suggested that he might have
induced his government to endeavor
TO cause the Washington government
to make up the quarrel with Germany.

ment stations throughout the state
where approved plants are located.
an effort is to be made to have III
