VIENNA ORGAN WONDERS
AT CZERNIN'S DUMBNESS

Zurich, Tuesday, March 19. -Contrasting the utterances of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg and Gen Von Ludendorff with the speech made in the Reichstag late in February by Chancellor Von Hertling, the Arbeiter Zeitung, the socialist organ of Vienna, asks whether the latest Berlin conference led to the adoption of a new policy. The paper argues that neither France nor Great Britain will accept a weak peace and says the peace which Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign secretary, promised and doubtless honestly desires, is now scoffed at everywhere as a weak peace offer.

"Nothing more," the paper adds, "is heard of Count Czernin's offer to President Wilson to enter into negotiations."

"Count Czernin has become quite dumb and modest while the greatest decisions are being taken in Berlin, London and Paris."
