 This paper says that the statement has caused an enormous sensation and confirms the belief that Connt Czernin's references to the United States were to. have actual steps taken to bring about an exchange of views between the western powers and Russia and Germany.
 Addressing the foreign affairs commit tee of the Reichrath Saturday, Count Czernin, according to an Amsterdam dis patch to the Central News, referred rankly to the differences in the Austrian and German war aims. He explained that Germany wanted to get her colonies back and obviously could not consent to abandon occupied territories before se- curing guarantees for the restitution of her possessions. Austria, however was differently situated. She stood every

January 27-The socialist paper Vorwaerts joins in the controversy that has arisen in the German press as to whether Count Czernins peace invita- tor to President Wilson Is indicative of a break In the Austro-German alliance. Pan-German papers think that it is, but vorwaerts points to the "weighty" phrase in Von Kuehlmann's speech, We are in agreement with Count Czernin." as prov ing, contrary to the pan German assump- tion that Count Czernin's fraternal kiss for President Wilson received the Ger man governments blessing in advance"

 Campaign WILL BE CARRIED ON IN COOPERATION WITH TERRIFIC LAND FIGHTS Tremendous Offensive Will Start in Spring With One
 Last Effort to Win
 Struggle

Washington, January 27. Warming that the Germans are preparing for a great submarine offensive against the American lines of com munication with France in connection with the impend- ing Teutonic drive against the west front is given by Secretary Baker in his weekly military review made public tonight by the war de- partment.
 Recently there has been marked decrease in the number of allied mer- chant ships sunk by submarines. The explanation for this is found in the withdrawal of submarines in prepara- ton for the coming thrust on land and sea. The review says:
 GAS the time draws near when
 once ngnin the enemy will en-
 deavor to strike decisive blow
 in the west 1t must be empha-
 sized that he will not be con-
 tent with mere military operations
 on large scale.
 "During the pnst fortnight en-
 enly submarines have been re-
 called to home ports to be re- fitted and the most powerful sub
 marine offensive yet undertaken may be expected to be launched against our lines of communion tion with France, to interrupt the stcady flow of men nnd munitions for our own armies and food supp plies for the allies.
 During the period under review re- new ed activity along the entire west ern front is noted.
 s.The region bordering the North sea has once again become the scene of severe fighting.
 LAND AND SEA ACTIVITY
 "A carefully co-ordinated operation undertaken by British monitors act ing in concert with land batteries i'll the area north of Ypres, subjected the German defenses of Ostend and surrounding country to a severe bonn bardment.
 NO infantry action was attempted in this sector by the British, but later in the week the Germans reacted sharply and directed a strong assault against the short sector of the line in the Dune area, which fringes the coast in the vicinity of Nieuport. This attack, which must be considered something more than a simple raid broke into the French lines and for a brief period the enemy detachments were able to hold their ground in the advanced French outposts The French speedily brought up fresh troops. drove out the enemy and were able to re-
