 ! Austria is breaking; that Is the time l to hit her hardest not the time to talk peace.
 There is nothing to indicate that the I view has been changed.
 | No one here doubts that sooner or later { Germany is going to make peace, offer l that may be worth considering. None t3f I the allies wishes to assume the fe- { sponsibility of prolonging the war day I longer than is necessary to insure the 1 future peace of the world. Therefore lit Is realized that offers of peace are !! not to be rejected before they are ax- 1 amined. Prince Maximilians offer with l those said to be coming simultaneously 1 from Austria and Turkey will 10 under l the same acid test which has been ap- ! piled to all the others If it fails to stand the test 1t will go the Yay of all ! Germany herself is participating form l ally now for the first time in an open i and direct proposal of peace. The move I Is believed to mark the beginning of the 1 East phase of the effort to substitute l diplomatic discussion for military oper atfons before the allied and American armies cross the Rhine and give Ger man soil a taste of what has happened 1 to Belgium and northern France. The 1 proposals even may be a little more spe- cif1c than officials of the American goy- l er1ment had expected as sequel. to President Wilson's flat rejection of Aus I tria's request for secret and nonbind- l ing discussions, but apparently no ona ! here Is ready to conclude that the Kafss' ] CTS government has reached the point 1 where it will accept without more ftef,f- | ings the only terms upon which thetr enemies are willing to lay down their aSms.
