FIELD MARSHAL DISCUSSES
AUSTRIAN PEACE OFFER.
Will Continue Fight Germany Ready
to End Struggle, But Not on Terms
Laid Down by Allies.

Amsterdam, Sept. 19.-FieId Mars.
shall Won Hindenburg has issued az
proclamation to the German army ms
the filed, according to the Zeitung Am
Mittag of Berlin, in which the Ger
man commander in chief alludes to
the recent Austrian peace offer, say
ing that it does not involve an ipter-
ruption in the war operations. Ibes
field marshal adds that a. readiness
for peace is not in contradiction With
the spirit with which Germany IS
waging the struggle. 1t is the armys
duty, he says, to continue the str1g-
gle while waiting to see whether, the
enemy is sincere and ready for peacs
negotiations.
The text of the proclamation reads:
"The Austro-Hungarian govern
ment has proposed to all the belHger-s
ents conference for non-biHding
discussion of peace. War operations
are not thereby Interrupted. Readi-
ness for. peace is not. in contrad dEtion
to the spirit with which we are Wag-S

.The reply Of the enemy was scorn
and derision The enemy governments
melted their peoples and armies TO
continue the annihilating war against
Germany. We have thus continued
our defensive struggle,

gle. In four victorious years OF war
the German army has energeticallys

by this means do we help break the,
enemy's will to destruction.
while continuing to fight, we have
to wait to see whether the enemy IS
sincere and this time ready for peace
negotiations, or whether he will again
reject peace with us unless we are
prepared 20 buy it on conditions which
would destroy our peoples future.
