ship building and large draft levies.
President Wilson Saturday will un-
acubtedly unmask and kill T%euton,a's
latest lnsidiouS peace move.
Speaking at Baltimore. he is eN-
Iected to point to the viciousness of
l. Austrian Count Czernin's latest
peace talk. Efforts 10y the foreign
minister to make 1t appear that peace
was almost possible recently, and that
Lorraine was the sole stumbling
block, will be exposed, il the president
:nters the peace discussion. Austria's
MIA and Serbia will be shown as con-
c%llisively belying n words of peace
The presidents speech will be a war
speech. 1t will seek to stimulate the
nation. and will point to the admins
tration realization that hundreds of
most. be poured into the struggle now.
in the hope of making this western
nattle decisive.
The most definite answer to Teuton
reace propaganda at this time is in the
iuickened war moves a new draft OF
more than 100000 men is planned, fol-
lowing close on the induction of about
$4,000 men into service And by July
4. it is proposed to nave a total OF
about 100000 new men called.
At the same time. the shipping pro-
ran is undergoing u thorough over
hauling and the authorities are insist

the Vienna city council, which visited
him Tuesday in connection with what

part:
With the conclusion of peace with
Rumania, the war in the east ended.
However, before turning to individual
peace treaties and discussing them in
detail, | would like to revert to the
declaration Of the president of the
United States. in which he replied to
the speech delivered by me on Janu-
airy "a.
IN many parts of the world. Presi-
dent Wilson'S speech was interpreted
as an attempt 10 drive a wedge between
Vienna n Berlin. / do not believe
that. because l have too high an opin-
ion Of The president OF the United
States. and his outlook as a statesman.
to believe him capable OF such u way Of

able to ascribe dishonorable action to
US, than we to him.
Praise for Wilson.
President Wilson Ices not desire to
separate Vienna from Berlin. and ne

says to himself. however. that Vienna
is more favorable soil for sowing the
