the Vienna "Free Press" excepting that
Austria only made her declaration at Con-

Pre- Press adds since the capture OF

become severe, and instead OF admitting the
necessity Of the previous agreement with
the powers, she now insists ON a separate
peace. On the other hand,

respects the sphere which has been defined
BY British interests and Russia reserves Ia
herself to seek England's participation in
any alterations of international treaties.
