Washington, April 3.-Count
Czernin's statement that
France had suggested peace
discussions with Austria Hun
gary was characterized by Of
ficials here today as the begin
ming Of a new German peace
offensive with the Austro-H Hun
garian foreign minister acting
at Germany's behest.
The speech Of Count Ger
min, it was declared, was a po-
litical maneuver designed to
spread the impression in the
allied countries that allied gov
ernments are fighting solely to
recover Alsace-Lorraine. The
peace move, they said, was
timed to follow the breakdown
Of the Teutonic military often
sive.
Any Teutonic suggestions
that the time for peace discus
sions is near at hand will find
nothing but q negative re-
Spouse in America.
Tho speech delivered yesterday by
Count cxernIn, the Austro-Hunqarian
foreign minister IN which he again
took up the subject Of peace has al
ready excited much comment The
address Il 10 noted, at the mo-
mont when tho great Teutonic drive
on tho western front, widely advertis-
cd to the peoples Of the central
powers as a peace offensive" has
lost it's impetus and been forced to
halt before anything more definite
than the occupation of considerable
territory had been accomplished. In
Washington official circles the speech
10 regarded "a a political maneuver
timed to follow the breakdown Of
the Teutonio military offensive with
the Autro-Hungarian minister acting
81 Germany's spokesman. It 10 declar-
ed that Teutonio suggestions that the
time for peace discussions lie ncar
will find no favorable responbe in this
country.
