The Austrian situation admittedly

plain to Austria that she can have

ABANDONING the German cause. that
will be done
officials who know conditions with
In the Dual Empire. said today that
the demand for peace on any terms
is growing there. The hatred of Ger.
many and German methods Is IN
ereasing. As a result there is a feel
ing here that when the Austrian
government realizes that Germany
has been denied peace terms because
Of her autocratic government and
her atrocities on land and sea, 1t
will be ready to take steps to aban-
don the German cause and make a
sincere appeal for peace.
Officials today said that the Turk
