AUSTRIAN PEACE-FEELERS.
AN OFFER TO FRANCE. ATTEMPT PROMPTLY FAILS. AMSTERDAM, April 7. In a semi-official statement from Vienna regarding M. Clemenceau's denial of his peace feelers, Count Czcrnin states that he instructed Count Revcntera, councillor to the Legation in Switzerland, to (confer with Count Armand, whom the French War Office sent to! Switzerland for that purpose. Interviews were held at Flaiburg on February 2. The discussions 6ought to find a basis of negotiations for a general peace. Count Revcntera requested Count Armand to : inform M. Clemenceau that Count Czernin was desirous to negotiate with French representatives, and believed that success was possible if France would renounce 'her- aspirations to recover Alsace-Lorraine. Count Armand later informed Count Reventera, in M. Clemenceau's name, that tne latter could not accept the renunciation of Alaace-Lor-raine. Peace pourparlers would therefore be useless.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.) ITALIAN TERRITORY WANTED. NEW YORK, April 7. The Rome correspondent of the "New York World" states that in contrast with Count Czernin's speech, other Austrian statesmen made speeches demanding the annexation of the invaded Italian provinces.—(A. and N.Z.
