ADMITS DEFEAT
BERLir.sADE PEACE OFFER or
MAGYAR PouIrIcIhN BASED
'' ON FALSE HOPES.
(By Associated Press

Washington. July 1S.-Thcrc is on
~ ono opinion in Official circles here
as to the note. addressed TO Baron Won
Burian, the Acknowledgment For
cian Minister, 70 the Austrian and
Hungarian Premiers upon the sub
jet Of peace. That is that II is evil
IDENTIFY carfully framed copmunica-
ton was designed TO prepare the way
for peace negotiations Immediately
upon the hoped-for successful con-
clusion Of the present great German
drive against the Entente forces
along the Marine and East o. Rheinrs
In the. assurance that this drive
would be successful. II not IN opening
the road TO Paris. at least IN afflict-
ing great losses upon the enemy, the
Central Powers, Il is believed. felt
'that in their panic and desperation
the entente powers would be prepar-
'sd,ko discuss peace.
a commentary on Baron Won Burian's
statement issued today by the Czecho
Slovak National Council here says
that Burian, a Magyar politician.
talks in the Germany as much as in
the name Of Austro- Hungary and says
his statement is an admission Of de-
feat with Austria offering a German
peace, accompanied by Austrian whin
ing.
Regarding Burian's assertion that
Austria does not NEEDLE with the
affairs Of foreign countries, and.
therefore. "resolutely declines foreign
interference in any form" The
says:
1T must not be forgotten that the
war was started by an attempt on the
part Of Austria TO interfere with the
international affairs Of neighboring
state, Siberia. This refutes Baron
Burian's statement about nonintcr-
ference, but also uncovers another
lie; that Austri had been fighting a
war Of defense. Austria started this
war by her attempt to subduc the Bal
kans; II was Austria who declared a
war Of aggression upon Siberia.
Baron Burian states that IL this
war Is continued by the entente that
'one-half OF Austria-Hungary may
perish in order 10 make the other half
happy Nobody desires that the
Germans and Magysrs Of the Mon
srchy perish; they are to 20 perfect
ly free II they only allow the Others
to 90 their way. Moreover the Ger
mans and Magyars constitute "a half
Of the Monarchy; they are the minor
Ity. II they cannot live without
thriving on the lives Of the majority,
then htey. Of course. must perish.
"The Czecho-Slovsk nation. for
one. proclaimed through its deputies
that their demand for complete politi-
cal independence cannot be solved by
internal Austrians constitutional
menas, but that IL can be solved only
At the peace conference. II. there
fore the Entente NEEDLES with the
internal problems Of the Monarchy,
she does so upon the express will OF
the majority Of the Austro- II ungary
peoples, and In complete agreement
with the principles laid down by Pres
dent Wilson"

DRAFT TREATIES RATIFIED.
Many Americans in England and
Canada to Be Affected.

Washington, June 2o.-1 reaueS DC
tween the United States and Great
Britain for reciprocal operation OF
army draft laws to their citizens, IN
GLIDING Canadians. were ratified late
Monday by the senate without dis
senting vote
British subjects in the United States
between 20 and "A years OF age-thc
British draft ages, and american cit
liens ii the British empire between
the ages Of 81 and 81. would be sub
ject to draft under the treaties. but
they would ne given the option OF re-
turning to their own countries lot
service under their own flag.
1t is estimated that some 54.ooo
American citizens in the British en-
pire, including 80, 900 in Canada, and
10000 British subjects in the United
Staa es, including $4,000 Canadians, will
be affected by the treaties. A new
clause inserted in the treaty provides
that citizens Of singatory nations ex-
empt from the draft at home, such as
the Irish and Australians. shall not
be subject to draft in the country of
their foreign residence.
The treaties were signed June by
|
the British ambassador, after revision
to meet objections made by senator's
and will become effective on exchange
of ratiications between the two gov
ernments. 1t Is understood similar
treaties now are being negotiated be-
tween the United States and France
Italy and other Of the allied govern
ments.
Ratification Of the conventions is
made dependent in a supplementary
resolution adopted by the senate on
issuance Of a proclamation by Presi-
dent Wilson formally announcing that
American citizens under u and over
81 years Of age are not subject to
draft under the United States selec-
tive act.* This is technicality to meet
British draft laws and prevent the
drafting of American residents in the
British empire who are below or above
the draft ages as Axed by act Of con-
gress.
Citizens Of either country drafted by
the other would not lose their citizen
ship by reason of their service, and
each government is given the right to
issue certificates Of exemption to their
citizens upon application or otherwise
within sixty days after the ratification
of the treaties.
Citizens of either country resident
in the other and desiring to enlist un-
der their own flag would be required
to do so within sixty days after GER
tificates are ratified or return within
that period to their own country.

Washington, June 25.-German sub
marines operating on this side Of the
Atlantic ocean have sunk their first

transport, under charter by the Ameri-
can government and bound to this
country, had been destroyed June IS,
rsome 700 miles east of the Delaware
capes, and that sixty-seven members
of the crew are missing. There were
no troops aboard.
The troop ship apparently was not
under convoy. The submarine was not
seen until torpedo had struck the
ship. Afterward the submercible rose
to the surface and fired nineteen shots
into the sinking vessel.
Take to the Boats.
When the steamer settled the crew
took to the boats, the occupants OF
four Of which, numbering eighty one
men. have landed. Three boats are
missing and a search is being made
for them. ~
The fact that the British vessel was
believe that it either had encountered
homebound submarine that had been
operating in American waters or else
one that Was bound here for further
raids on shipping.
The fact that the sea wolves which
first appeared off the coast late last
month had not been heard from since
June II caused most officers to hold to
the first theory.
of Virginia capes.
The last sinkings reported off the
coast occurred some ninety miles east
of the Virginia capes, and it was
argued that in the four days elapsing
before the British transport was sent
down the submarine would have had
ample time TO reach the position where
the troop was sunk.
The vessel destroyed was said to
have been the former Russian steamer
Dwinsk, but the navy department. was
not permitted to make the name pub
lie under an agreement with the Brit
ish admiralty
The Dwinsk Is understood to have
been in British service and chartered
to the United States to expedite the
movement OF American troops to
France.
OF the four boats from the steamer
accounted for two were found by a
steamer and their occupants taken to
New York, a third was picked up by
another steamer and the men taken to
Hampton Roads. and the fourth by a
sailing vessel, which lander the crew
at Bermuda.
