COUNT WEDEL BARES
OLD PEACE EFFORTS
Ex-EnUoy Tells of Efforts of
Austria to Reach Allies.

BERLIN, Aug. (delayed) Count
Won wedei former German Ambassador
to Austria-Hunsary. has made public
another chapter Of the attempts at peace
making while hostillties were in prog
ress. This concerns an alleged confer
ence between Gen. Jan Christian Smuts
on behalf of David Lloyd George. the
British Prime Minister, and CorTt
Mensdorff. former Austrian Ambassador
TO Great Britain, for Count Czernin. the
former Austro- Hungarian Foreign Min
lister.
Cxernin, says Count wedel. had great
confidence in Mensdorff because Mems
dorm was popular in London. Czernir
regretted that Mensdorn tried to pre-
vent the war. but he gave the former
Ambassador explicit instructions ITO ASK
Immediately whether general peace
was possible and whether peace for Ger
many was possible"
''In case the answer Is yes" Count Won
wedel quotes Czernin as saying. "sue-
ees. that German representatives be
drawn into the conference. In case the
answer Is no, further discussion VIII be
useless"
"0en. SHUTS replied" Won wedel as
-erts, "by saying that peace could not
be discussed with Germany. He ad'
mitted he believed the German army
could not ne vanquished. but he insisted
the tir had not come for parley with
Germany"
Count Won wedel said he believed the
only time when Great Britain ane
France earnestly considered peace was
in the summer OF 1917. when the sinking
OF vessels by German submarines
alarmed them. They intended TO go &c
ITALY to confer concerning tho possibilit,
OF a Impeachment, but gave up tho
idea as a result of the news arriving
from Austria.
Won wedei said he did not know wha
terms Great Britain and France woul'
have offered. but he questioned whethe
il would have been the status quo.
Won Wedel quotes a high British or
ficer who was in Vienna last fall wit
prais ed the German army. The ONCE
Ia said to have declared that Premie
Lloyd George had reached the convic
ton that no peace understanding wa
DO ssible because supremacy In Europ
was at stake. Though Lloyd Georg
originally was anxious for peace, accord
ing to the offlcer. It was not because h
feared defeat. but rather the effect Of
Europe and England OF q long conflict.
Count Won wedel said he believed tina
those who thought there was a possibil
Ity of a peace understanding during tn
last two years OF the war overestimate
| the possibilities OF the situation.

MASSACRES LAID TO
PRESIDENTS POLICY
French Writer Says Turks Are
Defiant Because of U. s.
Indecision.
By sras Correspondent o, rns Sun.

Copyright, 1919. all rights rcserred.
PARIS. Aug. 10.--A large share OF re-
sponsibility for precipitatlng the serious
situation in Turkey and provoking the
menace of an impending massacre In
Armenia lies with President Wilson, ac-
cording to August Gauvain. writing In
the Journal des Debdts.
This publicist takes the view that had
the President, regardless OF international
politics, taken up Immediately with the
Senate the question OF an Armenian
mandate the effect on the populations in
the territory in question would have
been totally different ard the attitude
of the Turks less defiant. He adds:
when the conference will have liked
the status Of Armenia there will be per-
haps no longer any Armenians In Arme-
MIA Turkish methods are more expedl-
lions than those OF the conference. II Is
here that the United States has assumed
a great responsibility in leading the Ar
menians to hope and suppose that she
would lake them under her protection
thus eliminating from the field any other
competitors for the mandate who may
have offered themselves. Other Powers
did not wish to encroach on the domain
already considered and generally ac-
cepted as American.
THE reasons on account of which
President Wilson believed himself un-
able to propose acceptance of the Ar.
menian mandate to the Senate undoubt'
ediy are powerful ones. but while this
| President hesitates everything is in sus'
pense and massacres are being prepared
| II they have not already begun. Il III II
takes the American Government as much
time to understand Ottoman affairs a,
IL took Il to understand the war there
will remain but masses of ruins in Asia
Minor when America comes to inter
| vene."
The writer attacks England also fol
having by her policies and her Pan
Arablanism helped to create the present
| perilous situation in the Near East.

BERLIN, Aug. 1o.--No subject IL being
considered more anxlously In Germany
than the future OF export trade, which
was discussed yesterday In a lecture by
the Chief OF the Foreign Trade section
Of tile Foreign ONCE, Herr wledenfeld,
n recognized expert In German trades
matters
Herr wledenfeld said. Germany would
be. compelled now as before the war "a
import food and raw materials and ia
export manufactured products Of great
value.
Both call for a good intelligence SER
vice coming from abroad and proceeding
from Germany. England, America and
japan have made great efforts in this
domain since the armistice. Germany ID
attempting the same by creating a for.
eign trade section Of the Foreign Office.
Its first task is the preliminary edu.
cation or ofiicials abroad In the diplo-
matte and consular service, which
henceforth win not represent two
careers. The principle adopted for
these officials Is In the hrst place an
economic education and a. soon as ON.
cials abroad begin to get active they
will be supplied with reports as to the
current German economic situation.
Representatives abroad will have to
use their own initiative more than before
in reporting. These representatives and
those of the private exporters will then
be utilized for the foreign Office In CON-
munieating intelligence quickly to inter-
ested parties.
