GERMAN PEACE MOVES
Instant Rejection of Terms by the
Allies is Said to be Imminent.

Instant Rejection of Terms by tn
Allies is Said to be Imminent.
The Austrian note reached tn
Swedish Legation late yesterday. "
A. F. Ekengren, Swedish Minister
Lwill deliver it personally to secretar.
cf State Lansing today. The text %
the note is understood to be The sam.
as that carried in the newspape,
cables.
Instant rejection by the United
States will be the fate of the lates
peace proposals from the central pow.
ers.
President Wilson will han2le til;
situation, and handle it in hurry
He is expected to act as soon as the
State Department receives ofiieiali:,
the text cf the notes from Berlin and
Vienna.
There was no disposition in official
circles last night to distinguish be-
tween the German and Austrian
moves, as the proposals are deemed
but another step in the great peace
offensive now under way. Because the
two governments are acting in accord
ii: the matter, word of similar action
on the part of Turkey is expected mo-
mentarly.
Sentiment in both branches of Con-
gress is emphatically opposed to &C
ccrding even respectful hearing to
any further peace suggestions from
Germany or Austria until Il ley openly
ADMIT defeat and complete failure OF
tneir war aims or are thoroughly
th,ashed by force of arms.
If the central powers sincerely de-
sire cessation of hostilities and peac,
Bulgaria has pointed the way is the
opinion expressed by both Senator's
and Representatives.
The military situation in which
Austria finds herself is the most des.
perate of any nation in Europe and
will force her, after the rejection 0!
her plea for armistice, to lay down
her arms Internationally.
This statement represents both
State Department and high mill.
tary. officials opinion, and these two
are in position to give = correct
analysis of the plight of the Dual
Monarchy. From the military point of
'iew, the statement is bas=d on tvs
r,ovements, the latter of wll.ich was
disclosed when stress was laid on the
fact that the new Italian offensive
through Albania, for the first time,
arplied the principle of the nincers to
Austria. From what has been disclosed
as to this, Italian movement, it is
plain to. staff officers that, # is per
haps equal in Importance with the
Macedonian drive, of which it waf
originally parts & rs
The Italian offensive, it Is stated
was undertaken in selese logical CON
nection with the combined; American
allied naval attack on Duraz=o, the
Austfian& naval base, and the whole
movement is the first uneertaken
against Austria by combination Of
the navy and army.
What the staff }sayssis that the .Ital=
ians'are going on, probably BY forced
! marches: directly towards Durazzo,
and; that this is, precisely wl.at. Gen.
allenby is doing in Asia Minor, TAX
ing the coast towns and opening them
up to the navy for supplies, with his
main objective Constantinonle.
