Daily Mail, that Premier Clemenceau
of France had asked Austria-Hungary
on what basis she would negotiate
peace. Austria replied that the only
obstacle to peace with France was Al
sace-Lorraine and Premier Clemenceau
said that it was impossible to nego-
tiate on that basis.

is all Premier Clemenceau had to say
when told of the statement of Count
Czarnin that he had inquired whether
Austria Hungary was ready to nego-
tiate and If SO on what basis.
