Vienna correspondent records discus
sion carried on at the table of Archduke

allow known enemy to COM

the conflict. No names were mentioned,
says the correspondent, but all under
stood that Russia was meant. Emperor
William said emphatically: 81 strongly

Even if the chances were equal on both
sides, there is much to be gained by
having several months peace"
The king of Saxony expressed himself
to the same effect. Archduke Albrecht
