This statement was made today by a high entente diplomatic authority. To Make Temptlnc Offer. He held that reports of a coming German peace offensive are not idle rumors, but rather a portion of a well-laid scheme of the Prussian war lords to attempt to bring a cessation of hostilities. Tempting offers -will be made to various nations of the entente, he says, and there wilt be serious menace for the entente morale If the advances are seriously received. Diplomatic advices recently have frequently quoted German references tc the possibility of a truce In the west and of the after-the-war ambi tions of the military party. One of the boldost statements to reach en tente hands is that of Austrian Deputy Wlchtl. leading member of the German Radical Party In the Itelchrath, In an address at Windlsch Kelstrltz. Cable reports of his speech quote him as favoring such a close alliance between Germany and Austria that the two powers would be one politi cally, socially, economically, and for military purposes. He would also crush the Czechoslovaks, divide the Jugo-Slavs, and then launch a gigan tic war to subdue America, and Ger manize Asia. For One German Xation. "Our alliance with Germany must be such as Is wanted by the Germans," Deputy Wlchtl asserted. 'The alli ance must be such that It make one German house where but German will be spoken, but German Ideas thought, and German battles fought. "And when there shall be no longer two states, but only one great Ger many, then wc shall watre a new war. . Then we shall deliver three mighty blows to Hie end of forcing our way to America, subduing the Orient, and i establishing German power over ) Japan and China. ' "We must decimate the Slavs In their numbers and break them up," the deputy declared. "We must pre vent Austria becoming a state of na tions. The Jugoslavs must be re duced and dismembered Into small inus. Portions of the Slovenes and tho Croats must go to the Germans. We will give a portion of the Slovenes to the Italians. A greater part of thi Croats and the Serbs will go to the Magyars, and the rest shall be appor tioned among the Albanians, Greeks. Roumanian.., and Turks." Wonld Deport Slav Itaee. Austria sees a solution of the vex ing Czecho-Slovak question In the proposed deportation of the Czecho slovaks to Siberia, where, the Pestl Ilirlap, of Budapest, declares, "they could enjoy the happiness of their long-sought Independent national ex istence. The Budapest article refers to the activities of the Czecho-Slovak troops in Siberia, and the suggestion is made that the dual monarchy unburden It self of the Bohemian and Slovak dis content by giving the Czecho-Sloraks a part of Siberia and forcing them to emigrate thither. The dispatch also refers to an anx iety in Austria for German and Mag yar prisoners in Siberia, and the dec laration is made that the central pow ers should go to the rescue of the prisoners before the advance of the Japanese army exposes them to the grave danger of becoming war pris oners again. U. S. AND URUGUAY T nuuqng WO PACTS Negotiations are under way for two treaties between the United States and Uruguay. One Is of a commercial nature and provides for the regulation of tariffs on goods sold by American traveling salesmen In Uruguay. The United States Government hopes to negotiate a similar document with each Latin American republic in preparation for after-the-war trade. The other treaty concerns the pro posed gold credit at Montevideo to stabilize United States currency In Uruguay for the period of the war Dr Brum and members of the Uru guayan mission here will leave Wash ington tomorrow. They will visit Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Buf falo, and St. Louis. They will board the Uruguayan cruiser Montevideo ai New Orleans and will return home through the Panama canal and down the west coast. PAPER TAX ON PAPER Reports from Mexico City state that the Democrats, acknowledged to be the Instrument of German Minister Von Eckart In spreading his German propaganda. Is apt to discontinue for lack of print paper, and that Mexico has thereupon altered the Import duty on print paper from a percentage of Its value in money to thirty-three and one-third per cent of paper Imported, payable In paper. The National Type and Paper Com pany, which furnishes print paper to Mexico and all Latin America, has re fused to furnish print paper to El Democrats, or to any other paper pub lished In Mexico devoted to German propaganda, and as a result many such sheets have gone under. At the beginning the Mexican government purchased print paper from the Unit ed States, turning It over to El Dem ocrats which proceeding was discon tinued on protest from the United States. The new tax on paper, payable In kind, will enable the Mexican govern ment to deliver paper to pro-German papers which otherwise would suc cumb to war blacklist regulations.
