BERLIN, September 22.-The Austrian
Ambassador here, Count Won Szogyeny
March, in an interview to-day with a
representative of. the Associated Press,
said:
.There is an erroneous opinion in the
press about Count Won Waldersee's mis-
sion. A number of important tasks await
him. Above all, he must force China to
submit to the allied powers peace condi-
tions. Neral suasion is entirely wasted
on the Government, which, far from being
humiliated hitherto, still INDUCES in the
hope of cheating the allies out Of the
fruits of their victories by destroying the
harmony among them. Won Waldersee
must arrange what military demonstra-
tions are required, what 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 up
on Won Waldersee as commander-in-chief,
but each may reduce or increase its con-
tingen. at will
JOINT ACTION.
Regarding the statement that Won
Waldersee will act as chief diplomatic
representative for the Powers, that, if it
ever was intended. has been abandoned.
It is possible the Powers may Jointly ap-
point one plenipptentiary 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 re-arrange the status
of the diplomatic corps. Possibly the Chi
nese Government hereafter will be To-
Gated more inland Then the foreign dip
lomats will eitner-te located at treaty
port perhaps Tien Tsin. or else they will
need large military protection.
Cali of this Won Waldersee must enforce
and also Germany's own special demands
How these demands will be regulated anc
enforced is different matter All the
Powers mean to adhere to the motto NC
further territorial acquisition. but 1t Will
probably become necessary for each power
to occupy some province or important
point of which the taxes will be retained
until each is reimbursed for its war out
