PEACE PROPOSALS.
' AUSTRIA AND BRITAIN. • NO DIRECT FRICTION. AMSTERDAM. July 2D Count Czernin, in a speech in the Austrian Upper House, declared tint Austria had no direct friction with Britain. Austria was less unpopular, weaker, and less dangerous, and was .more moderate in her demands than Germany, and fairly free from annexationist desires. Thus she was absolutely pro-destined to fill the role of mediator, but this was only possible provided she secured the full confidence of Berlin. Count Czernin hoped tha\ Germany’s war aims remained purely defensive. It was, however, a. mere presumption to fancy that this terrible war was being prolonged for a foreign Mates annexationist aims. Such a tiding, if true, would endanger the Ccntial Alliance.
