Wilson's Answer Is
Greatest Victory
Declares Roselli

The answer of President, Wilson
to Austrias bid for a peace parley
is the greatest victory of the war"
said Lieutenant Bruno Roselh of
the Italian army, when interviewed
by an Argus representative this
morning.
1T is even greater than the glor-
ious victory of arms attained by
General Pershing, for while the vic
tory of the American army gained
for US only about one per cent or
the territory which must be con-
quered on the western front, the
presidents reply in a few hours at
Washington effectively sealed the
doom of the Austro-German cause.
His short, concise refusal to be led
into Austria Hungary peace trap
proved that we are on the right
side and going in the right direc-
ton"
Among other hot shots" let loose
by Lieutenant Roselli are:
Your real danger is from with
in, not without.
'tAustria-Hungary has no right to
exist as a country.
After this war, Austria will not
live as a country; her heirs will be
her populations.
Austria has been fooling the
world; the consensus of public
opinion has hitherto been, Poor
Austria
Italian defeat proved an eye
opener for the allies"
pity and sympathy for Austria
was the saddest Inheritance of the
allied nations, excepting Italy, on
the eve of Americas entrance into
the fight.
America should beware when
Austria comes whimpering and says
her problems are your problems
concerning the many different ma
tionalities of each government. She
lies and she knows it. For, while
amalgamation is Americas policy,
the program Of Austria is separa-
tion-to keep the many races of
her makeup continually at war with
one another.
For America to have lent an ear
to Austria's subtle suggestion would
have been suicidal. 1t would have
poisoned the minds of your people.
The central powers are willing to
make concessions, territorily. but
should they, and they will. offer US
all of our territorial aims, If their
power is not crushed-if their peo-
pies still retain confidence IN their
rulers and leaders and consequent
" in their pet dream of world dom
inion then peace for US will be
barren-a mere truce-until the
world will be once more swept with
this awful confagration, and their
purpose may then be achieved"
