CLASS AUSTRIAN PEACE
OFFERS TEUTONIC SCHEME
believed Won Burian's Message WINS
Designed TO Divert Attention of
People in Austria and Poland.

WASHINGTON. July l7.-Dispatch
received through diplomatic channels
here to-day make manifest the fact
that the German rulers arc ma filed no
less in their military peace drive than
that direction.
The news that an edict from Berlin
has forced Emperor Charles TO accept
the resignation of Premier Won Seid-
Ter came within a few hours of the
publication of Count Won Burian's mem
orandum to the prcsi dents of the Hun
garian and Austrian Councils. Amer
lean officials are at loss TO explain
what would appear to be a blunder
which can have no good effect upon
the morale of the restless peoples of
Austria and the Jugo-Slav districts
The only suppositiou advanced is that
Won Burian's message. ordinarily a doc
umcnt closely guarded, was made pub
attention of the Austrians and Polish
citizens from the fact that Won Seidler's
decision relative to Poland's future had
been disanproved in no uncertain terms
Ivy the Prussian military party.
Assuming that such is the case IL
would appear that Germany is confident
that Austria Hungary will not ne
Sotiate separate peace. and would
give further support 10 the theory of
many political students that peace pro-
poSalS from Austria are no other than
tentative efforts to feel ont the opirion
OF the allies for the benefit Of Ger
many.
