Admitted Austrian Initiative.

Count Revertata. being himself the
solicitor. acknowledges in the follow
ing terms: That the purpose was to
obtain from the French government
propositions of peace. under cover OF
Austria, for transmission to Berlin.
such is the fact established by an
authenticated document which Count
Czernin has dared to refer to in the fol-
lowing terms: 'Clemenceau, shortly be-
fore the beginning of the offensive
on the western front had asked me
whether 1 was ready to enter upon
negotiations and upon what basis In
speaking thus. he not only did not
tell the truth. but told the opposite OF
truth, which in France is termed lying.
1T is but natural that Premier Glenn
enceau should be unable to restrain
his indignation when Count CZernin,
justly anxious as to the final conse-
q.ences of the western offensive, re-
versed the rules with such auda city.

begging for peace at the very moment

Premier Clemenceau's denial Of the
Aruth of the assertion of Foreign Min
lister Czernin. that a conversation con-
cerning peace had been held between
Austria and France, was given conf1r-
nation. The note follows:
Premier Clemenceau, upon assuming
the duties of president of the council.
found that conversations had been en-
tered into in Switzerland upon Aus
tria's initiative between the Count Re-
vertata. personal friend of Emperor
Charles. and Commandant Armand of
the second bureau, French general staff.

French minister at the time
Told Merely to Listen.
IN. Clemenceau did not wish to as
sumo the responsibility of interrupt1ns
conferences which had yielded no re-
suits, but which might furnish useful
sources of information. Commanuant
Armand thus was allowed to continue
his journey in Switzerland, upon the
request of Count Revertata. 1nstruc-
>ions were given NJ. Armand in the
presence of his chief by NJ. Clemenceau,
as follows: Listen and say nothing.
Count Revertata, becoming convinced
that his attempt to bring about Ger
man peace was doomed to failure, IN
order fully to>characterize his mission.
gave Commandant Armand a letter
written in his own hand. dated Febru-
ary 25, 1918, the first sentence of which
reads: During the month of August,
1917, with a view to obtaining from the
French government a proposition to
Austria which might lead to future
peace and be of such a nature as to be
susceptible of being indorsed by Aus
tria and presented to the German gov

policemen from the outlying pre-

was largest. They did duty under

d. Policemen made no attempt to in
terfere with those who participated
in the celebration. Noises of all
kinds were permitted. and very few
persons overstepped the bounds and
/ got arrested. Handling of vehicles
and preventing accidents was the
hardest part, of the police work. A
suggestion was made that the Ave-
nue. be turned into a concourse for
pedestrians only. but the police made

FALSE WAR NEWS
GIVES THOUSANDS
GREAT TINE HERE
Hilarious Celebration Goes on
Despite Denial That
Armistice Signed.

Well the news was wrong, but We
had a good time. anyway
Thousands and thousands of tired
but happy war workers and others of
the National Capital today said sub
stantially the above. as they looked
back over the almost riotous enthu
siasm with which all yesterday aft
ernoon and night they greeted the
premature announcement that the
war is over
Yesterday was d mad. merry day in
the history of Washington, a day the
like of Mhich the oldest inhabitants
cannot remember. Breaking loose
shortly after noon Yesterday, tile
crowds surCed the streets until din
ner time. shouting. yelling. rushing
here and there. led by soldiers and
/ girl war workers
Denial Makes No Impression.
The men and women who surged
through the streets did not seem to care
a whit for the official statement made
by Secretary Lansing that the armistice
had not been signed. Nor did the fact
impress: them. either i'll the afternoon
or at night, that the American troops
in France We're capturing Sedan at the
hour when an edition of an extra paper
declared that fighting had ceased.
The merriment eliminated last night
with a monster demonstration on
Pennsylvania avenue which lasted from
about o'clock until nearly midnight.
Two hundred thousand people, the
police estimated. were on Pennsylvania
avenue last night. All of the down
town thoroughfares were crowded, but
the historic parade ground was the
center OF all interest. and thither the
people nocked from all parts of town,
and from the suburbs.
