AMSTERDAM, April g.
Count Czernin, Austrian for
eign minister, addressing the
Vienna municipal coucil,
declared President Wilson
probably considered Vienna
more favorable ground for
sowing the seeds of inter-
national peace than Berlin.
Czernin said Austria's ruler is
attached to peace, and that $751;
100000 people share his view.
To these people, he said, Wilson
is devoting his activities.
Serbia desires peace" de-
clared Czerain, but the allies pre-
vent it.
After being conquered mill
tarily, our enemies must he con-
quered morally.
I'VE do not intend to beg for
peace, but enforce it by moral
right and physical strength. Other
tactics will prolong the war"
Czernin's speech, as received
here, is incomplete.

DOESN'T INTEREST
u. S. ANY MORE


WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 3.
Peace talk--in the wake of
Austro-German diplomacy in the
Near East and Russia-does not
interest Washington now.
That was the very plain answer
given by officials and diplomats
today to the belated reply of the
Austrian minister of foreign af-
fairs, Count Czernin, to Presi-
dent wilson's last war aims ad-
dress.
President Wilson may be said,
officially, to feel that there is no
indication that either Germany or
Austria is honestly DESTROYS OF
establishing the basis for a just
and lasting peace.
He has searched their previous
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, Czernin's complete
surrender to the will of the Ger
man junkers and his drastic
peace terms imposed on Rumania
have extinguished that hope OF
the president.
On the face Of the speech
at this time there was an
inclination to see hypocrisy
in the utterance and q POssi-
BILE effort to resume peace
talk at a time when America
IL about to launch her great
est war effort.

BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SlMMS
United Press staff Correspondent.
WITH THE BRITISH
ARMIES In FRANCE, April
3.-Hindenburg and Llden-
dorff continue to hesitate.
They have been shifting about
for five days.
This has been perhaps the
quietest day since the offensive
began. The Germans must have
been hit hard, not to be able TO
patch up their machine before
now.
The British blew up the bridges
over which they retreated, but
Hindenburg has had ample time
to repair them.
Probably the Germans are ready
for the second phase of their Of
fensive. But two things are wor-
rylng them. The second is the
doubled battlefront, combined
with the lessened number OF
troops.
They dislike pushing on toward
Amiens with Arras and Vimy
threatening their north flank and
the French menacing their south
ern flank.
Likewise, whereas they had 80
divisions 100000 mem in the
line and in reserve for a 55-mile
front on March 81, they now have
only the remnants Of this force
plus the sparse fresh troops, with
which to carry on their offensive
over a 100-mile front.
Indications In the past few day:
are that Hindenburg is trying t.
shorten the active battlefront BY
digging in at certain places, per
hitting him to concentrate-prob
ably south Of the Somme. He will
be compelled again to draw from
garrisons in the quiet sectors.

ROUND; HIN vExED

He has already drawn 2S divis-
ions (336,000 mem from the
North sea end and 80 divisions
100000 mem from the Swiss
end of the west front.
About 100000 men-almost
half the total on the west 'front.'
are concentrated on the new bat
tie front. The problem now is
how long he can keep up the
drain.
Obviously Hindenburg is stalk
ing everything on this last throw
of the dice.

Can the Non Voters
Vote in the Finals?

One of the vital after-election
questions which is interesting
politicians, candidates and voters
as much as the Tuesday vote, is
the question of whether non-vot-
ers Tuesday will be refused per-
mission to vote at the final cleo
ton April 16.
Only about 10000 votes were
east Tuesday, slightly more than
BALI the registration. According
to the state registration law,
those who did not vote yesterday
must re-register before they can
vote again.
Judge yesterday gave deci-
sion two years ago in a test suit
brought by w. J. Murphy to the
effect that re-registration was
necessary but could not be en-
forced because the registration
books are not opened between
the two elections.
Whether or not the primary OF
1916 and the primary of 1918 are
similar, and Judge Easterday's

In giving it's whole-hearted support to
these three men from the start, The Times
was confident that the voters of Tacoma
should realize, as The Times did, the vital
need of three such fOrward-lOOking, con-
strlctve leaders during this great period in
the city's development.
The results of the vote in Tuesdays pri-
maries show conclusively that the people OF
Tacoma are on their toes and wide awake to
the great opportunities as well as enormous
responsibilities which face our fine city.
Every man and woman who went to the
polls and cast vote Tuesday can be proud
of service well performed, not only for the
city but for the nation as well.
The Times itself, while not feeling boast
full, is thrilled with the pride of having per-
formed it's part. We are proud of Tacoma
and of Tacoma's fine, united spirit.
Our next duty will be to elect RIDDELL,
HARRISON and SHOEMAKER two weeks
from now.
The Tacoma spirit will win!
