BERLIN, Sept 22.-The Austrian am
bassadOr here, Count Won Szogyeny-
Marich, in an interview today with a rep
resentative of the Associated Press, said:
There is erroneous opinion in the press
about Won Waldersee's mission. A num-
Der Of important tasks await him. Above
all he must force China to submit to the
allied powers peace conditions. Moral
suasion is entirely wasted upon the Chi
nese government, which, far from being
Inundated hitherto, still INDUCES in the
hope of cheating the allies out of the
fruits of their victories by destroying
the harmony among them. Won Valdez
see must arrange what military demon
strauons are required, if harbOrs and in
land towns must be occupied, which
points require expeditions and which
troops may retire from Pekin. All the
powers are bound to this programme by
agreeing upon Won Waldersee as COM
mander-in-chief. but which may reduce
or increase its contingent at will.
Regarding the statement that Won
Waldersee will act as chief diplomatic
representative for the powers, that, If
1t ever was intended, has been abandoned
1t is possible the powers may Jointly ap-
point one plenipetentiary for the settle-
ment of their joint demands, viz, the
safeguarding of the foreign colonies and
missions, to enable foreign merchants to
safely resume business everywhere in
China, and also to rearrange the status
of the diplomatic corps. Possibly, the
Chinese government, hereafter, will be
located more inland. Then the foreign
diplomats VII either be located at relay
port, perhaps Tien Tsin, or else they will
need large military protection.
NOT AFTER TERRITORY.
'An of this Won Waldersee must en-
force, and also Germany's own special
demands. How each of the powers sep
arate demands will be regulated and en-
forced is a different matter. All the pow
ers mean to adhere to the motto, No
further territorial Acquisitions but it will
probably become necessary for each pow
er to occupy some province or important
point of which the taxes will be retained
until each is inburSed for its war out
lay.
with all that, we must not forget that
the Boxer movement is not yet dead
The Lokal Anzeiger prints a special
dispatch from Shanghai saying Count
Won Waldersee, after his arrival at Pc
kin, would occupy the imperial palace,
remove the dragon flag and hoist his
own flag, Thereby proving to the Chi
nese, who now regard the allied troops
as merely tolerated, that the allies are
really masters"
Inc INSPIRED HoSt prints an article
which says: 'frhe possibility is here con-
sidered that China will refuse Germany
demand to give up the main culprits.
Then, forceful measures must be en-
ployed, above all the occupation of a
number of most important points in the
country.
IN AGREEMENT WITH GERMANY.
The foreign office informs the Associ-
ated Press that France, Austria and Italy
have agreed to the German note. The
foreign office official who made the state
ment added: 1.-The statement that Cen
Yung La has been proposed as one of the
Chinese peace commissioners is untrue.
Neither Great Britain nor Germany
would accept him.
While Great Britain and Japan have
not yet formally accepted Germany s
proposition, the Associated Press learns
from a reliable source that there is lit
tie doubt that they viii accept.

United States answer, through Baron
SDeck Won Sternberg, the German charge
d'afraires at Washington, and Mr. Jack
