Nav Hun Peace offen.ive.


Washington, April 3.-Count Czernin's
statement that France had suggested
peace discussion with Austria Hun
gary was characterized here today as
the beginning of~A new German Aus
trian peace offensive. The speech Of
Count CzcrnIn, it was declared, was a
political maneuver. designed to spread
the impression that the allied govern
ments are lighting solely to recover AL
The peace move. they
said was timed to follow the breakdown
of tho Teutonic military offensive.
Any Teutonic suggestion that the
time for peace discussions is near at
hand will find nothing but a negative
response in America.
Count Czernin's statements that
Austria Hungary was at the point of
beginning peace negotiations was
branded as false It was said no sug-
gestion Of such discussion has
reached Washington.
Officials characterized the speech as
a "fee1er" which probably would be
followed by some declaration or an
in Germany.
The entente embassies ascribe to
Czernin a purpose to breathe sus-
picion and discord among the entente
allies.
There has been no change, it was de-
clared, in the attitude Of the allies.
AS for France, 1t was reassured she
has no intention Of tolerating any
peace suggestions apart from her al

E. Davies democrat.
With fifteen counties missing, and
many others incomplete, Lenroot had a
plurality of 1O,547
Two widely divergent influences,
namely -Germanism and the plea
Wilson wants Davies" cut great
chunks out of the normal republican
lmajorities. Davies leaders declined to
concede Lenroot's election and said the
soldier vote might decide it.
Loyalty tho Issue.
| Since the inception of the campaign
every leader has insisted that the 10y
ialty Of the state was being judged by
the nation. The socialist PLATFORM
which fatty opposed the presidents

refuge for the ballots of the disloyal
elements.
Patriots accepted this vote as test
and apparently on that basis the state
has voted loyal to /.
Early this morning newspaper re-
turns gave Lenroot 93,322: Davies. S2,-
IT'S: Victor l.. Berger, socialist, $1,000.
The Berger vote was by these figures
about one to each three polled by Len
root and Davies. The ordinary repub-
lican majority is from $4,000 to 100000.
Some Of the vote lost by the repub-
licn RI he
ident wanted him, but much was rep
resented by German Americans OF the

seventeen counties with complete re-
turns and all Of Milwaukee county and

Berger Carries Milwaukee.
With four precincts yet to be, heard
from the vote Of Milwaukee city and

the non-partisan candidates for city
treasurer. city comptroller and city
attorney.

The speech delivered by Count
Czernin yesterday in which he
again took up the subject Of peace
has already excited much comment.
The address, It 10 noted comes at
the moment when the great Teuton
drive on the western front, widely
advertised to the people Of the CEN
trail powers as "a peace offensive"
has lost its impetus, and has been
forced to halt before anything moro
definite than the occupation Of a
considerable amount Of territory
had been accomplished.
In Washington official circles the
speech is regarded az a political
maneuver timed to follow the break
down of the Teutonic offensive. It
is declared that Teutonic sueges-
tions that the time for peace dis
cussion is near will find no favor
able response in this country.
