Referring to the lack of concen-
trated effort by the central powers as
emphasized by the Won Payer speech
and the Austrian note, the foreign
secretary pointed to the clumsiness of
German diplomacy.

in direct, simple brutality, but when
he tries to dress in President Wilson's
clothes or tries to act as President
Wilson would act, he is clumsy"
Not Genuine Attempt.
Coming after the recent speech of
Friedrich Won Payer, the German i'm
perial vic chancellor, Mr.. Balfour
said. "this cynical proposal of the
Austrian government is not a genuine
attempt to obtain peace. 1t is an at
tempt to divide the Allies"
II cannot honestly, in the proposals
now made to us as / have been able
to study them" Mr.. Balfour said,
'see the slightest hope that the goal
we desire-the goal of a peace which
shall be more than a truce-canr really
be attained"
The foreign secretary said he was
utterly unable t6 see thai a conference
proposed by Austria could have the
desired end.
