World War in Brief

With the reported amelioration in the
political unrest in Austria-Hungary and
a continuation of silence as regards
the internal situation in Germany, the
notable feature in the world war is
the apparent resumption, and on a
somewhat larger scale, of the military
operations on the western front in
France and Belgium. Although for
the moment these operations do not
transcend in Importance the usual
small operations by raiding and recon
nOitering parties, reading between the
lines it is not difficult to see that the
maneuvers now in progress on various
sectors are in the nature of trying-out
processes of a marked character.
From the North Sea to the Swiss
frontier the lessening in the rigors Of
winter has permitted the bellgerents
again to send forth their men in en-.
terprises which seemingly forecast the
intention shortly to resume fighting
activity more extensively. For weeks
the big guns along the entire battle
front have been roaring in intensive
duels on numerous sectors, but the
infantry has lain Idle, owing to the
deep SHOWS and later to the morasses
which formed as a result of the thaw
On the front in Italy the change in
the high command evidently has NOT
resulted as yet in any betterment of
the strategic positions of the Austro.
German armies. From the Asiago
plateau eastward to the Pave river
and thence southwark to the Adriatic
Sea the Italians again have been viz.
to,ious in numerous minor operations
The peace negotiations at Brest.
Litovsk have again been postponeJ
for few days, and Foreign Ministe,
Trotzky. of the Bolsheviki is prepar
ing another note to the Allies.
Gen. Szetogar Borvevic has been an.
pointed to succeed Archduke Eugene
in command of the Austrian force a,

TO mean defensive policy.

-"Austria- Hungary ana
the United States practically agree
not only on great principles of new
arrangement of the world after the
war, but our views approach on sew
eral concrete peace questions" de-
clared Count Czernin, Austro-Hun-
garian foreign minister, in a speech
reported in Vienna dispatches.
The address was frank and open
bid for discussion of differences be-
tween Austria-Hungary and the Unit
ed States looking to a possible adjust

1T is obvious Czernin declared,
that an exchange of views between
Austria-Hungary and the United
States might form the starting point
of conciliatory discussion between all

NO ADVANCE TOWARD PEACE.

Washington.-No advance toward
peace is seen here in the speeches
made in Berlin and Vienna by the
German Chancellor aid Austrian
Foreign Minister upon the war aims
of the Central Powers.
Formal comment will be withheld
until the texts are put out by an au-
thorized German agency, but after
reading press accounts OF the speeches
officials expressed the opinion that
they were framed largely for internal
consumption, with the incidental pur-
poses to plant seeds of discord among
the Allies by suggestions of separate
negotiations and to appeal to the
sympathies of the radical Socillistic
elements in the enenly's countries.
Regarding the design to affect the
internal conditions of Germany and
Austria one official suggested that the
striking differences Of tone in the two
notes, the German being almost def
antly aggressive and the Austrian
compromising and insinuating, were
calculated precisely to meet the vary
ing conditions in the two empires.
