LONDON. April Count Czernin. IN
spite Of the marked change toward the
beiicose in his latest speech. still
speaks in softer accents than ever have
been heard from Berlin. the morning
papers say in their comment on the
Austro- Hungarian minister's address to
the Vienna municipal council
The Daily Mail characte.izes the
speech as Austrian bluff" and saws
that Count Czcrnin's assertion that
the blockade Of Germany is broken in
the east will not fl, the hungry stom-
achs OF Germany and Austrians. II
adds that the issue must be decided bv

but small share OF the attention
which st would have received three

Czernin's statements and professions

notice from entente statesmen and the

to be designed TO impress President
Wilson with the idea that the rcccn,
attack was forced upon the central
powers by the refusal OF tho allies TO
discuss terms OF peace. The Pos; con-
cludes:
Count Czernin apparently is making
another attempt to dctach the United
States from the allies. possibly with a
view OF saving Bulgaria and Turkey
from a declaration of war by America.
Judging by reports received OF the
