Oaly such Ireply. it is eonee<J«-d. CSEmove th« president to propose peacenegotiations to the allies, asd such a.reply, members of tee American gov-ernment do not believe. Prince ilax-imUntn is prepared to give even zboughfull realization of defeat Ss upon thekaiser and the German .people.

There probably, will be attempts bydiplomatic trickeries to the very lastto get something better than the dis-tared peace, befor* the American andallies begin to cross the German bor-ders.

The llunrarlau prisoners were not Iloo hopeful of iiumedfale results of!Au-4ria's proposals, which theythought was probably independent ofGermany, owing to an ectrancemeatbetween the central pmmirt. Theythought Austria-Hungary would beable to break away from Germany t»make peace indepeBdeatly. if she de-sired to do so.

They al*» thought Germany wonldsoon topple then. The Germans, onthe other hand, thought Austria hadbeen allowed by the Germans to pro-pose peace negotiation*.

"Austria ban to propose peace everys* often, anyway," was the way oneGenuan expressed it, and the othersgave the same idea in other word*.

"Austria-Hungary conU not nuke aseparate peace It she wanted ta.~boa*ted the German officer*. "Wecould prevent It by force."

"We would be better off if «he did.because tbe Austrian* won't fight andwe have to feed them, and get nothingfa return for it."

Tbe Anntrians were heartily in favorof anything thai would brW peace.They care nothing whatever whetherthe allies won or whether it wan th*central powers. T» them It meantone thing—they could g» back homeand be thankful they were alive. Whatpolitical and social changes came aboutas the result of tbe war meant muchless to them than returning to Buda-pest.

The Hungarians took for a speedyflnl*b to the war. They thought neith-er the allies nor the central power*would hold out much lancer and thata peace agreement wnM be Monreached.

Some German officers saw clearlythey would be defeated, a» they raid,by "overwhelming •dds." HoweverIbex thought they most rtafet'as t»«gan possible, hi the hope of M alliedbreak.

SOUTH OF LAOK.South of Laon the Germans are con-

tinuing their retirement north of thefamous Cbemin des Dames under tbepressure of attacks from the -wrest andsouth and it is confidently expectedthat the whole of the famous highwaywill be entirely evacuated soon.

After capturing Vouzieres oa theAfane river, the Frencb. have gonesome distance beyond that town. Soswiftly is the line changing that it isdifficult to follow the French advancefrom point lo point.
