AMSTERDAM. Jan. 27.-The
Socialist paper Vorwaerts joins
in the controversy that has arisen
in the German press as to wheth-
er Count Czernin's peace invita-
ton to President WiiAon Is indie
ative Of a break in The Austro-
German alliance. Pan German
papers think that it is, but Vor-
waerts points to the "weighty"
phrase in Won kuehImann's speech.
1--WE are in agreement with Count
.Czernin," as proving, contrary to
the pan-German assumption, that
"Count Czernin's fraternal kiss for
President Wilson received the Ger
man governments blessing in ad-
vance"
Again complaining Of German
Chancellor Won Hertiing's ambigu-
ity Vorwaerts outlines its own pro-
gram. based on 1.-The honest right
Of self.determination for the east
ern peoples. including the right to
reioin Russia; the complete re-es-
tabishment Of the independence Of
Belgium and the return Of occu-
pied French territory on the sole
Condition that France foregoes her
claim on German territory"
vorwaerts asks Secretary Won
Ku.hlmann whether any obllga-
ton prevents him from adopting
this program.

LONDON. Jan. 21.-The Cologne
Gazette's Vienna correspondent,
according 70 advices reaching here
SAYS that Count Czernin. Austro-
HUNGARIAN minister Of foreign at
fairs. informed the Austrian dele
cations Saturday that the text OF
his speech on the war aims had al
ready been forwarded to President
Wilson before it's delivery. This
paper says that the statement has
caused an enormous sensation and
confirms the belief that Count
czernin's references to the United
States were to actual steps taken
to bring about an exchange OF
views between the western pow
crs and Austria and Germany.
Addressing the foreign atfaISs
committee of the ;Reichstag Sat
urday, Count Czernn. according
to an Amsterdam despatch to the
Central News, referred frankly to
tho e,dlfferences In the Austrian and
German war aims. t'e explained
that Germany wanted to oct her
colonies back and obviously could
not consent to orabandor occupied
territories before securing guar
antces .tor the restitution OF her
possessions. Austria. however
was differently situated. She
stood everywhere or enemy terri
tory, except in eastern Gatic'a.
