AMSTERDAM, April 8. = Count
Czernin, Austrian foreign minister,
addressing the Vienna municipal coun-
Gil. declared President Wilson prob
ably considered Vienna more favor
able ground for sowing the seeds OF
international peace than Berlin
Czern!n said Austrias ruler is at

millions people share his view. TO
these people, he said, Wilson is de-
voting his activities.
Serbia desires peace" declared
Czernin, "but the allies prevent it.

WASHINGTON. April 3.-Peace
talk-in the wake of Austro-German
diplomacy in the near east and Rus
sia-does not interest Washington
now.
That was the very plain answer
given by officials and diplomats to-
day to the belated reply Of the Aus
trian minister of foreign affairs,
Count Czernin, TO President Wilson's s
last war aims address.
President Wilson may be said, Of
ficially, to feel that there is no indl-
cation that either Germany or Aus
tria Is honestly desirous OF estab-
fishing the basis for a just and lasting
peace. He has searched their prev
ious peace utterances for indications
of this. In the speech of Count
Czernin some weeks ago. he thought
he saw the possibility OF honest peace
desire Since then, Czernins com
plete surrender to the will OF the
German junkers and his drastic peace
terms imposed on Rumania have eX-
tinguished that hope of the president.
In the absence of the official text OF
Czernin's latest peace discussion, it
was impossible for officials to discuss
the merits Of the Austrian position.
On the face of the speech at this
time there was an inclination 10 see
hypocrisy in the utterance and a
possible effort TO resume peace tald
at a time when America is about TO
launch her greatest war effort.
II the full official text OF the Czern-
in speech has reached here by tomor-
row ii is possible the president may
refer to it in his speech at Baltimore,
Saturday night. The president has
not yet begun work on this address.

Secretary of War Baker is ex-
pected here at an early date. His
mission is done-putting across Presi-
dent Wilson's ideas as to co-ordina-
tion on the west front.
The secretary's order, separating
American headquarters news from To-
cal news, was regarded in some quar-
ties as result of General Pershing'
desire to avoid publication OF things
which at this distance might appear
innocent, but might harm his plans.
Alteration of his censorship, however
is regarded here as necessary If his
news Is to be handled exclusively
abroad.
According to present plans, more
than 100000 men will have been
shipped to France by the close of the
year. AS the draft is continuing In
operation, 1t will be possible to draw
them whenever needed to fill up
emptied cantonments. 1t may be
necessary to call within the next year
