High treason and ingratitude are

TISZA FOR A STRONGER
ALLIANCE WITH GERMANY
Former Austro-Hungarian Premier
Says War Was Plot Against
Dual Monarchy.

AMSTERDAM, June "a dispatch
received here from Budapest says
that in the Hungarian interhaus
Wednesday Count Tisza. former
premier. strongly supported the idea
of strengthening the alliance with
Germany because the origin Of the
war was the result Of a plot directed
at the mutilation Of the dual mon
archy. and more especially of Hun
gary. and that the support afforded
by the allies Of the dual monarchy
had enabled the plot to be crushed.
and thus had safeguarded Hungary's
integrity.
Moreover. Count Tisza said. Hun
gary had received financial support
from Germany. and there were strong
economic reasons connected with
Hungarian agricultural interests for
preserving the alliance In order to
secure a market for Hungary's raw
material at remunerative prices in
the Teutonic allied countries.
Premier wekerle in welcoming
Count Tisza's statements declared
that the alliance remained defensive
In character. 1t was not a question Of
an alliance between princes, but be-
tween nations. In regard to economic
agreements he believed high agricul-
tural tariffs would not be maintain
ed.
As regards the entry of other states.

that their sovereignty must In all

SORRY WORLD IF WE LOSE
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, June Premier David
Lloyd George. in replying to a toast
to tho success OF the entente allied
arms at the dinner OF the Printers
Society of London tonight, said that
Britishers have made unsurpassed
sacrifices for a great purpose and q
high ideal.
One Of the most encouraging things,
the premier continued, was the "su-
which the Americans have taken
their part in the struggle and de-
feated the foe. 1t Is most encour-
aging thing, because there has been
great flow of those troops. and we
were depending on them"
II for any cause the allies fail to
succeed. 1t will be a sorry world to
live in, Mr.. Lloyd George said.
1T is impossible to exaggerate the
Importance or the significance of the
issues with which we are confronted
today" he declared. THE fate Of the
world, the destinies Of men and the
lives of generations would be fash
ioned by the failure or the triumph
Of our cause.

passing through anxious days. and
the crisis is not yet past. but with
stout hearts we shall win through.
and then woe to the plague.
"In the interest OF civilization. in
the interest Of the human race, 1t
must be stamped out. You cannot

which was the signal for a peace Of

the article was written by a collabo-
rator, and the newspaper does not
agree with him in thinking that the
time has come for political offensive.
It declares that when the time comes
for announcing war aims the form
must be such that no doubt can exist
among Germany's enemies regarding
her consciousness Of power.
The Berliner Tageblatt expresses

Unity and resolution are two quail
ties We need. We have sunk our
political differences. We have bigger
things to think about. These con-
troversies will come again. but for

Secretary Lansing's Reply.

TO this communication Secretary
Lansing sent the following reply
through the Swiss minister:
Il have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of your memorandum Of
April Is. 1918. communicating a trans
lation Of note verhale from the Ger
man government, transmitted by the
SWISS political department, proposing
the exchange Of Capt. Lieut.. Franz
Rintelen for Siegfried Paul London, an
alleged American citizen condemned
to ten years penal seryitude in Ger
many. The German government
threatens measures Of reprisal II
Rintelen is not released on exchanged
for London.
In reply l have the honor to advise
slider the exchange OF Rintelen for
London. nor can it consider the release
Of Rintelen nor Interference in the due
process of law in his case.
The threat Of the German govern
ment to retaliate by making Ameri-
cans in Germany suffer clearly irrs.
plies that the government proposes to
adopt the principles that reprisals oc-
casioning physical suffering are legiti-
mate and necessary in order to en-
force demands from one belligerent
to another. The. government of the
United States acknowledges no such
principle and would suggest that it
would be wise for the German govern
ment to consider that il 1t acts upon
that principle 1t will inevitably be
understood to invite similar reciprocal
action on the part Of the United States
with respect to the great number Of
German subjects in this country. 1t
is assumed that the German govern
ment before acting will give due re-
fiection and due weight to this con-
sideration.
Il beg that you will be good enough
TO bring the foreRoinR atafenant IN

ment"

into the hands OF the American au-
thorities by reason of acts of the
british government. contrary to in
full. The attempt to bring to halt
the criminal proceedings brought
against him In America and to secure
his release has likewise been without
result. In order to lend greater en-
phasis to the protests which have
been lodged with the American gov
ernment, the German government
contemrlates some appropriate meas
ures of reprisal 1t would. however,
prefer to avoid the contingency that
persons be taken and made to suffer
because the government of the United
states was apparently not sufficiently
cognizant of Its international obliga-
tons toward German subject.
Before making a definite decision
the German government believes 1t
should propose to the government of
the United States that Capt. Lieut..
Rintelen be set al liberty by exchange
for the American citizen, Siegfried
Paul London. who was condemned to
death for espionage and whose SEN
tence was later commuted to ten
