HOPES THAT THE SUBMARINES WILL FORCE PEACE. "WILL EMPLOY EVERY MEANS TO GAIN VICTORY." Renter. . . - ' AMSTERDAM, Feb. 7. ;•; The first pronouncement as to the attitude of Austria-Hungary on the new submarine warfare has been made by Count Tisza, the Hungarian Premier, in Parliament. He said that Germany was justified in the use of the new weapon on the ground that their adversaries had a fleet of merchantmen laying new minefields. Moreover, the successful employment of submarines was the most effective means of securing peace. " Even to-day," he declared, "we are still prepared to negotiate peace .' if. we receive a guarantee that ; our enemies are, willing to negotiate. But so long as our enemies desire to take our lives we are.determined to employ every means in order to gain victory." ; >. : . Count Apponjti and' Count' Andrassy supported Count Tisza, but Count Karalzi denounced unrestricted submarine warfare. He pointed out that 2,000,000 Hungarians were living in America and that their fate might be serious in the event of war. :
