Count Czernln, Austro-Hungarian

with Hertlings speech, stated what
might be differences of opinion
with German war aims. He

tone in discussing President Wil-

United Press dispatches from
Russia today said that no wireless
messages hud been received by
the Molsheviki from Austria since

A probable obstacle to possible
