AUSTRIA IS
TRAITOR TO
TEuTON CAUSE
So Declares Prof. Masaryk,
Political Exile From
That Country.
Warns Entente Against Civ
ing Dual Monarchy Too
Liberal Terms.

London Correspondence Of the
Associated Press). LET the entente
allies beware against giving Austro.
Hungary too liberal terms in any
agreement for separate peace" de-
clares Professor Masaryk. the Bo-
hemian political leader. who was con-
demned to death by tho Austrian gov
treason and is at present an exile in
London. He discussed with corre-
spondents the recent Associated Press
report that Austria is seeking sep
arate peace through agents in Swift
zerland.
There is no doubt that Austria
would be glad to come to some ar
moves must be a source Of great hui
initiation to many honest Austrians.
no matter how much they are forced
on her by economic and political
conditions. Austria ID not playing
fair to her partner. What she is do
ing now to Germany is, speaking
plainly, treachery. Austria is trying
to get out Of the war and doesn't
know how to go about it.
1.-THE difference between Germany
and Austria is that the German ma
ton is united. while the majority of
the Austrian nation has been against
the war all along. Nevertheless Aus
tria initiated and provoked the war;
Germany merely accepted the situa-
ton and came in.
"Austria's present vancouver for
peace ought not to deceive the en-
tente. She Is willing, no doubt. to
sacrifice some territory, but not
enough to, remove her as menace.
This dismemberment of Austria Hun
gary is just as essential to perma-
nent peace in Europe as the destruc-
ton Of military Prussianism."
