AUSTRO-GERMANY.
AN AUSTRIAN FEELER. AUSTRIA AND BRITAIN. Received July 22, 7.50 pjn. Amsterdam, July 21. Count Czernin, in v speech in the Austrian Upper House, declared that Austria had no direct friction with Britain. Austria was less unpopular, weaker, less dangerous, and more moderate in her demands than Germany, and was fairly free from annexationist desires; thus, she was absolutely pre-destined to fill the role of mediator, but this was only possible provided she secured the full confidence of Berlin. Count Czernin hoped that Germany's war aims remained purely defensive. It would be mere presumption that the terrible war was being prolonged for foreign States' annexationist aims, which would endanger the alliance Reuter.
