GUS points on the American front.

American troops. Civilians are per-
mitted to pass back and forth. pro-
vided they have passes issued by the
officials in various villages along the

There have been several instances
where German soldiers and civilians
ask permission to cross into Luxem-

init them to cross unless they agreed

Rhenish Prussia. This precaution
was taken as an ordinary war meas
ure to prevent the opening OF lines
Of communication between the Ger
mans and the people within the
American lines.
At Echternach, Gravenmacher and
wormeldange and other points where
there are bridges, groups OF German
civilians and soldiers assembled DUR

For many years it has been the Gus
tom along the border for relatives

JUST THE OLD HUN TRICK
London Press Asserts Austris's Peace
Conference Is Cynical and
insincere.

LondoD.-The Daily Mail, under the
heading THE Word of Austria, but
the Kaiser's Voice" says the Austrian
invitation to the allies to open "a con-
fidential. nonbinding discussion" of
peace terms Is another form of the old
German trick.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Nego-
tiations at the present moment even
though they brought temporary peace
would only postpone the final struggle
between might and right. SO long as
the kaiser and his pane Germans direct
with irresistible authority the destInies
of Germany so long can there be no
question of an armistfce or purely
academic negotiations. The note Is dis
Ingenious, cynical. and insincere-an
attempt to divert the entente powers
from resolute prosecution of the
war"
The Austrian note Is regarded In
this country as maneuver to obtain
needed breathing space for the sore!y
tried central empires and to impress
their own people with the desires OF
their rulers for cessation of the
struggle which Is wearing them to a
shadow.
Undoubtedly 1t is part of COM
bined peace offensive which has been
expected for some time. and which has
taken definite form within the last
few days. It is one of three moves
which have been made almost stimuli
taneously by enemy states.
