deep discomfort among furloughed
soldiers belonging to various army

endeavored to bring the men to his
viewpoint but that he found they were
quite positive about the government
having misled the country regarding
the chances of peace in 1916.

Austrian Premier Appeals

Reminds Secretary
Of Treaty of Tilsit
Says Germans Would Rise
as One Man if Demands
Were Humiliating

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 2. - Heinrich
Lammasch, Premier of Austria, has
written communication to Secretary
of State Lansing discussing the situa
tion in Germany, according to VieHna
advices. Professor Joseph Redl.ch,
member of the Austrian Reichrat, and
DR.. Meinl Joined with DR.. Lammasch
in sending the communication to Sec
retary Lansing. 1t was written on
October 1S, nine days before the Lam
masch Cabinet was formed in Vienna.
In opening, DR.. Lammnsch recalls to
Secretary Lansing "the four months
which years ago we spent in common
| labor with the object of maintaining
peace between two great nations He
I refers in this to the court of arbitra-
tration which decided the Ncwfound-
land fisheries dispute, which was held
at The Hague in 1910, and at which
DR.. Lammasch was presiding officer
and Secretary lansing was counsel or
for the United States.
The communication sets forth con-
siderations which the writer's sug ~est
dent Wilson's reply to Germany. 1t
says in part:
"The German people can carry out
President Wilson'S programme only in
dtions, traditions and ideals. The
more undisturbed the German peopl,
are left and the fewer attempts are
made to keep them in leading strings,
The more surely and quickly will they
attain their objective.
"Conditions which the German peo-
pie could only consider to be hrmili-
atlng would be rejected, or. if force
to accept momentarily. they would
bear them only SO long as the more
immediate necessity compelled. Just
as after Tilsit, the German people
would, as soon as they had recovered
their strength, rise as one man against
the injustice inflicted upon them.
"Only by considering these matters
IN formulating programme may the
pernicious power of militarism be
curbed."
