tlemen of the War, With Slice Off
Serbia for Bulgaria."
(By Associated Press)

London, April 3.-"Austria was re.
Gently almost on the point of begin
ming negotiations with the Entente,
Count Czernin said yesterday, address
sing the Vienna municipal council
"but the wind suddenly veered, the
Entente deciding to await develop
ments in this country which caused
it to hope that Austria would soon
be defenseless.'
He said Premier Clemenceau of
France asked on what basis Austria
would negotiate peace. Austria re-
piled that the only obstacle was AL
sace-Lorraine. Clemenceau replied
that peace was impossible on that
basis.
CZernin said: "The colossal strug-
gle in the west has begun, with Teu-
tons fighting shoulder to shoulder as
in Russia, Serbia, Rumania and Italy.
We are fighting together for the de-
fense of Austria and Germany. Come
what may, we will not sacrifice Ger
many's interests, any more than she
will leave US in the lurch. We are not
fighting for imperialistic or annexa-
zionist aims for ourselves or for Ger.
many"
He declared that Austria wished to
| avoid further military offensive. Re.
ferring to the reply of Clemenceau
he said Austria will insist on the sta
tus quo.
Regarding Bulgaria's claims against
Serbia, he said: Bulgaria must re-
ceive from Serbia certain districts in.
habited by Bulgarians. We have no
desire to destroy Serbia. We will en-
able Serbia to develop and would well
come closer economic relations. The
aspirations of France and Italy are
Utopias which will be terribly
avenged. do not intend to 20 beg1
ging for peace or to obtain it by en-
treaties and lamentations, but will en-
force it by our moral right and ply
slcal strength. Any other tactics
consider will contribute to the pro-
longation of the war;" He declared
ne did not believe President Wilson
in his recent address really desired to
separate Austria from Germany, be-
cause the president knew it was i'm
possible. He said the president prob
ably saw that Austria was more ia
vorable toward peace than Germany.
