CHAPTER. 6. , _ u Durins the early slimmer the movement for a peace of compromise had gone far in Austria and inpcer- tain German clrclesfit was stimu- lated by the Raglan suggestion of a peace without annexatiplu or_in-' demnities, The. German military leaders were hostile to any consider- ation. of peace. ‘Ludendorff,’ wrote Czcrnin, foreign Minister of Austria- Hungary. ‘is exactly like thelatafcs- men of France and England; none of them wishes to compromise, they only look for victory.’ In Austria, however, the need of an early peace had been realized by Czernin for some months." ‘I am nevertheless quite convinced,’ he wrote on April 2. ‘that another winter campaign would be absolutely out of the ques- tion; in other words, that in the late summer or in the autumn an end

costs.’

The Austrian Emperor had already started secret negotiations with the mitente through Prince Slxte of Bourbon, brother of the Empress and an officer in the Belgian army. But they lagged and finally fell through, partly because the Italians would hear of noycancessions sufficient to attract Austria towards a separate rem-Partly bccausoc ' intend- ed to use the negotiations as a means to a general peace including ‘Gor- msny, and the Allies were determined not to compromise with an undefeat- ed Germany. Nor would the Ger- man military group consider peace without an, increase of territory; Lud- endorff made it plain that he regard- ed the’ war as lost if Gennany did not emerge from it with enhanced power.

Members of the German Reichstag began zto doubt the possibility '01’ ¢°mieiete victory. Mathias Enberg- er. a leader of the Center Party who was in touch with Czerllinarld aware of the latter! memorandum upon the necessity of peace, was able to form something of a bloc, opposed to the control of the military group and advocating a peace of comprom- ise. 0n July i0, under his manage- ment, a majority of the Relchatpg voted a resolution declaring that ‘the Reichstag strives for a peace of un- derstanding and the permanent re- conciliation of the peoples, with such a peace forced acquisitions of territory and political, economic, ‘or financial oppressions are inconsist- ent.’ The resolution was carried by 312 votes to 128. - '

. r _ August l5. 191'! Dear Govemo :

I ain woods! I how you will think it best to answer the Pope's peace PWDNII-

On a basis of the status quo ante, the Enfcnto could aid Austria in emancipating herself from Prussia. ‘ilirkey could be sustained as an in- dependant nation under the condi- tion that Constantinople and the Straits have some sort of internation- alisation. This would settle the question. of a. division of Asia Minor between Russia, France, and Italy- a division which is pregnant with iutiiro‘ trouble. Turkey would be inclined towards the Entents to-day if it were not that she prefers being a‘ German province rather than to be‘; dismembered as proposed by tho Alliesz...‘ " '- '

This ‘leads me to hope thahyou will answer the Pope's proposal. in solhesuch way as to‘ leave the door open and to throw the‘onus on Prus- sia. frills, I think, can be done if you will say that the peace terms of’ America are well known, but that it is useless tbudiscuss the questio until those of the Prussian militar- ists are also known, and further that itis hardly fair to ask the people of the Allied countries to discuss terms with a military numeracy-an auto- cracy ‘that does not represent the opinion of the people for whom they speak. If the people of the Cen- trsl Powers had a. voice in the settle- uleiit itiis probable an overwhelm- irlg majority would be found willing to make a peace acceptable to the other peoples of the world-a peace

founded "upon international amity and justice.

I believe an occasion has presented itself for you to make a notable ut- ‘ ce and one which may conceiv- ably lead to great results.

Affectionately yours, E. M. House.

‘The President was more belliger- ent thanflouse. less inclined to any sort of compromise; he intimated that hamight not take any notice at all of the Pope's offer. He went on to indicate his objections to even a_ tentative acceptance _of the papal Prolloeobuwhich he asked House to forward ' tarEngland for Balfour's information. (Ed.
