WANTS PEACE TO
PREPARE NEW WAR

Germany hopes to negotiate AZ
early peace that will give her an op'
portunity to reorganize her resource:
for another great war for world
domination.
This statement was made today By
a high entente diplomatic authority
To Make Tempting Offers.
He held that reports OF a coming
| German peace offensive are not idle
rumors, but rather portion OF a
well-laid scheme OF the Prussian war
lords to attempt to bring a cessation
Of hostilities. Tempting offers will
be made to various nations OF the
entente, he says. and there will be
serious menace for the entente morale
il the advances are seriously received
Diplomatic advices, recently have
frequently quoted German references
tc the possibility of a truce in the
west and OF the after-the-war ambi
tions of the military party. One OF
the boldest statements to reach en-
tente hands is that OF Austrian
Deputy Wichtl, leading member OF
the German Radical Party in the
Reichrath, in an address at Windisch
Feistritz
Cable reports OF his speech quote
him as favoring such a close alliance
between Germany and Austria that
the two powers would be one politi.
cally. socially, economically, and for
military purposes. He would also
crush the Czecho-Slovaks, divide the
Jugo-Slavs, and then launch a gigan-
tic war to subdue America, and Ger.
mamie Asia.
For One German Nation.
sour alliance with Germany must
be such as is wanted by the Germans"
Deputy Wichtl asserted. THE alli-
ance must be such that 1t make one
German house where but German will
be spoken, but German ideas thought,
and German battles fought
And when there shall be no longer
two states, but only one great Ger
many, then we shall wage a new war.
Then we shall deliver three mighty
blows to the end OF forcing our way
to America, subduing the Orient, and
establishing German power over
Japan and China
I'VE must decimate the SIavs in
their numbers and break them up"
the deputy declared. I'VE must pre-
vent Austria becoming a state of ma
tinns. The Jusc-Slavs must be re-
duced and dismembered into small
units. Portions of the Slovenes and
the Croats must go to the Germans.
We will give a portion Of the Slovenes
to the Italians. A greater part of the
Croats and the Serbs will go to the
Magyars. and the rest shall be appor-
toned among the Albanrans, Greeks,
RouHanians, and Turks"

Austria sees a solution OF the vex-
ing Czecho-Slovak question in the
proposed deportation OF the Czecho-
Slovaks to Siberia, where. the Pesti
Hirlap, of Budapest, declares, "they
could enjoy the happiness of their
long-sought independent national ex-
istence."
The Budapest article refers to the
activities of the Czecho-Slovak troops
in Siberia, and the suggestion is made
that the dual monarchy unburden it.

by giving the Czecho-Slovaks
a part Of Siberia and forcing them to
emigrate thither.
The dispatch also refers to an anx-
iety in Austria for German and Mag
var prisoners in Siberia, and the dec
laration is made that the central pow
ers should go to the rescue OF the
prisoners before the advance of the
Japanese army exposes them to the |
grave danger Of becoming war pris-
oners again.
