London Press Scoffs at Speech by Foreign Minister and Regards It As Empty Boast-Comes at Mo- mcnt of Disaster

Rome, April 3-Italians are warned against the speech Of Count Czernin by the Giornale d'Italia as, it says. Austria Hungary has spoken Of peace before every new offensive against Italy,
 "Austria,' the paper adds, now has three-fourths of her army on the Italian front, where weather uondi- tions may allow her to undertake an offensive immediately. Italy must be able to resist on her front line like the Anglo-Nrcnch on the western front. On this granite resistance from the North sea to the Adriatic depends the safety of the world"
 A prominent member of the Italian chamber of deputies, in an ntcr"iUw in the Giornale, declares Count Czern- ins statement shows Austria consid- CTS the German offensive in France to have failed in it's ultimate aims

CZeTnin'S Speech Has Little Effect.

London, April 4.-Count Czernin. In spite of marked change toward the bellicose in his latest speech. still speaks in softer accents than ever had been heard from Berlin, the morning newspapers say, in their comment on his address to the Vienna municipal council.
 The Daily Mail characterizes the speech as Austrian bluff' and says the counts assertion that the block ade of Germany is broken in the east will not fill the hungry stomachs of Germans and Austrians. It adds the issue must be decided by iron and blood in the battle that now is being pitched.
 The Daily Telegraph thinks that coming at the moment of disaster the speech will command a small share of the attention which 1t would have received three weeks ago. He says some of the statem professions require and doubtless will receive notice from Entente statesmen and the United States.
 The speech, the Morning Post says may be regarded as the customary offensive ensuing on temporary de- feat of the war offensive of the Gen. tral Powers. It declares it seems to be addressed to the president of the United States.

We Must Brace Up

We are violating nb confidence, we believe when we disclose that since the beginning of the thrift stamp and baby bond campaign two months ago Arizona has not made good showing. We nave not nearly come up to expectations We have come no way doing what we thought we could do or what those in charge of the War Savings campaign thought we could do when Arizonas allotment was made. But we not desparing. Arizona in the past though sometimes starting out slow has always made Garrison finish" Garrison, as you may know, was a famous jockey of former generation who generally rode to victory only on the home stretch.
 Arizona made great reputation in the two Liberty Loan campaigns, and right there something happened that makes task in the War Savings campaign the more difficult The general, and not unnatural impression was that the success or the Liberty Loan campaigns represented loyalty and devotion of the people far beyond the size Of the population While a matter of fact, the population made a good showing in the matter of loyalty and devotion the extraordinarily heavy subscriptions to the Liberty Loan made by the great mining com panies and the railway companies, made those cam pagns successful
 They will not of course contribute much to the success of the War Savings campaign. They can not be expected to become purchasers of baby bonds and thrift stamps. This showing must be made by the people and in doing so, they will be fulfilling the purpose of the war oans the collection of the current savings the country that its accumulated capital may be left free to carry the countrys business for which there is not now enough money.
 The railroads always borrowers. They borrow from every possible and now plans are being developed by which the government can loan them money. That has become part of the general war plan. In this situation. the purchase of bonds by the railroads helps nothing It is merely the loan ing of money to the railroads that they may loan money for war purposes. So it is true in a sense of every great industry which in any contributes to war needs. It requires the money it has to meet the greater burden that is put upon it by govern ment demands
 The call upon the current savings by Liberty bonds, sold the installment plan, by baby bonds, by thrift stamps embarrasses industry. It takes only the money that be easily spared and much of which unless taken in this way, would be dis sipated. It offers to the people who furnish it to the man who buy only Liberty bond, to the boy who buy only baby bond and even to the boys whose contributions and then only thrift stamp, liberal return these contributions It proposes to them to assist them in saving what might otherwise be wasted, and to pay them for saving for themselves.

Mr. Carneaie and MT. HohenzolIern

What American citizen may have thought of Kaiser Wilhelm before the what his sym pathes may have been in the early days of the war; before got into it. should not be weighed against him now if since the early part last year he has been good American and has shown no taint of pacfsm.
 This is suggested to us by the captious inquiry by an exchange as to how many war bonds Andrew Carnegie has bought. The assumption of our jour nalstic brother is that Mr. Carnegie has not over burdened himself with war bonds because he recalls that at the beginning of the Mir. Carnegie de- clared the kaiser heart broken" over it. there fore if Mir Carnegie still thinks of the kaiser in that mood probably he isn't doing his best for his country.
 Of course unable to guess with any &C., curacy to what the great philanthropist has invested in liberty bonds but we will go so far as to allow that Mir. Carnegie has done his duty like good American should. The great iron master is quite an old man. He has had all the publicity he wants He has given away the larger portion of his fortune and in his fine house with his wife and daughter by him. he is calmly spending the late evening of eventful life MT. Carnegie is an honorable man. liberal man. even though he may have been in his constructive years stern hard man. Perhaps he still believes Will helm II is what that imperial person posed as being for Wilhelm fond of waving the olive branch theatrcaly of brandshng the sword herocallv Both Wilhelm and Mr. Carnegie have seen better days and ere long both will be judged according to the deeds done in the body-and, for our part we would much prefer Mr. Carnegies chances to Mr Hohen zollern's.

to be reasonable guess and publish it as a fact which the reader to have been anthen- ticated.
 Not long ago a writer in of the popular periodicals of this country explained the removal from the high command of the French troops on the western front of General Nivelle which had been more or less mysterious. It had been populary supposed that Nivelle was removed because he had failed That he had failed was known. This cor respondent. however said his offensive when it prom ised success halted by the French government who appalled, by the magnitude of it. This explanation was offered by way of illustration of the evil influence of politics military campaigns An illustration was unnecessary. We all know that war cannot be conducted by politicians though there have been instances of beneficial governmental re- straint upon military commanders.
 The cnly point raised by this correspondents contribution whether the restraint in this case beneficial The correspondent said it was not. Now we have a contrary opinion by a man who think is in better position to judge the military expert of the London Observer who touches upon the matter only incidentally in a discussion of the Versailles conference whose objects he supports. He is controvertng the conclusions of the American correspondent which probably not brought to his attention. He speaks of what is called General Nivelles great offensive brilliant tactical suc- cess" won, he says "at q loss which appalled, the French chamber of deputies and compelled the gov ernment in obedience to popular demand to remove him from his command"
 We have here only confirmation of the Amer ican correspondents statement that the government interfered with the offensive but got entirely different and more reasonable view of the cause of its interference, and our earlier impression that Nvee had failed is ed. All this, however only destroys the value of the Nivele incident illus of tho a,-iIo
 There remains outstanding fact upon which both the American correspondent and the military expert agreed, that the offensive undertaken without a concert of action by the British troops such as there would have been either under gen. erassimo or supreme council of statesmen advised by military experts. We only know that the system under which Nivele failed wrong.
