MISSION NEEDS FOUR MACHINES

(By Associated Press) VIENNA, Via London,. April 6 The Austro-Hungarian press has paid little . attention to President Wilson's

message to Congress regarding German-American relations. The few editorial comments give prominence to the fact that reliable information on the American government's attitute is so scarce that it is impossible to form a picture of what is happening in the United States. While some ... .of- the, .newspapers doubt President Wilson's motives, others point cut that the American government's attitude in the past has made difficult the taking of any other recourse than that now laid down, expressing at the same time the hope that the situation between the United

States and Austria-Hungary will not undergo a change for the worse. . All of the leading articles voice regret that by President Wilson's act the chances for an early" peace are seemingly lessened and that further bloodshed will be necessary. It is declared also that, come what may, the Central Powers must continue a fight in which the entire world apparently is seeking their destruction. There is no bitter tone in any of the comment , b;vt a full expression of the keenest disappointment.
