Foreign News: Perfidy

At Vienna were published recently certain letters of the late Count Conrad von Hotzendorff, War-time Chief of Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Army. They contain the assertion that in 1915 Great Britain offered to make peace with Germany, proposing among others the following terms:

1) Germany to receive the Eastern half of Belgium, including Liege; 2) Germany to receive the entire Belgian Congo; 3) Great Britain to receive the French port of Calais,

Count von Hotzendorff recorded in his letters his disapproval when the Germans insisted on holding out for still more favorable terms.
