Others think it will take several

Washington Calls 1t Insincere.
Sy Unttsd Press.
WASHINGTON, June 2e: - Won
kuehlmann's latest peace offensive is
regarded officially here like its prede-
cessor-unaccepta and insincere.
State departures ent and other authori-
ties gave 1t slight thought for discus
sion.
They did make 1t clear, though,
chat the United States will not harken
for moment to such an appeal,
which apparently has the plunder of
Russia as its foundation. Allied dip
lomats used it as the text for further
urgings in favor of Russian interven-
ton. AS predicted a few days ago by
the United Press. this latest peace Of
fensive Is intended evidently to lay
the ground work for concessions in
the west, provided Germany should
have free hand in the east.
It's attempt to lay the blame Of
sta rting the war upon Russia Is con-
sidered a possible foundation for a
drive to annex Russia as a Teuton
territory or exploit it under German
control. The sole distinction between
the peace movement and its prede-
cessor Is that it follows a defeat in
stead Of a victory.
The Austrian defeat and Austrian
unrest may have fastened the speech.

GIVE LITTLE CREDANCE TO

We can hope that the summer and au-
tumn will bring us a new and great
success. A wide survey Of the situa-
ton forces one to ask whether the war
will last beyond the winter or beyond
next year. The.idea is abroad that we
have never reckoned on a long war.
