ITALY STATES
HER STAND ON
PEACE TERMS
Replies to Austria S Renew
ed Suggestion Of Sep
arate Pact.

Italy's answer to Austria's renewed
offer Of a separate peace was the
same as was President Wilson's. The
Italian peace terms as stated in an
authoritative Italian quarter here
yesterday are:
Restoration of Herzegovina to Ser
bia; independence of Montenegro; i'll
dependence for the Poles and all the
oppressed nationaIities Of Austria
restoration of AIsace-Lorraine to
France. and indemnification for the
damage done the occupied parts of
France; restoration of the Italia Ir-
redenta to Italy; complete restoration
and indemnification for Russia; the
same for Belgium: and guarantees
such as President Wilson has de-
manded. that a responsible German
and Austrian government will make
good these terms.
Italy is thus the first Of the entente
nations to come out unqualifiedly as
did President Wilson in New York
Saturday night for the complete res
toration of Russia.
Ne Interest Now In Peace.
Italy, frankly. has no interest in a
peace offer at this time. But IL Aus
tria, instigated and controlled by
Germany, is sincere in the persistent
insinuations of peace which she has
been putting forward, these are the
only terms to which Italy will listen
1t Is admitted in italian quarters
here that a peace offensive against
the morale Of the Italian people has
been in full swing for some days.
The propaganda which Italy has
feared is that which plays upon the
hardships Of the Italian people Ia
make them believe that the allies
have forsaken them. Steps have been
taken by the United States and the
allies to dispel any such impression
Italy CONFIDENT.
Italy on the other hand Is so con.
fident of ultimate allied success thai
she does not pretend to press the
peace claims which are particularly
her own. Her assumption of the
burden Of France, Belgium, and par.
ticularly Russia is regarded as one
Of the strongest declarations which
have come from any Of the allies this
year.
News from Austria in diplomatic
dispatches received here yesterday in
dicates that the situation over food
and politics is rapidly approaching a
crisis.
More and more importance is being
attached here, to the attitude of the
liberal Magyars as determining the
ultimate fate Of Austria. The great
Magyar landowners Of Hungary are
avowedly, almost fanatically, pro-im-
perialist and pro-German.
The vast majority of the Magyar
people, however. are just beginning to
be kindled with the fame Of freedom
and democracy and to resent the
domination Of the masters of the
great estates. 1t is predicted that
once, this vast element realizes that
the German influence threatens to
throttle their new found hopes, they
will add force to Slav liberalism
that all the German bayonets in the
world will be -powerless to suppress.
