LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Daily Mail fes-
lures this morning the following des-
patch from it's Copenhagen correspond
ent:
From a most trustworthy and we'll
informed source in Berlin have re-
ing the negotiations between Baron Won
Burian, the new Austrian Foreign Min
lister, and the German statesmen on
Baron Won Burian's recent visit to Ber-
lin.
Baron Won Burian. whose sole object
was to save what can be saved OF the
dual monarchy, represented the situa-
ton of Austria as precarious and said
that II the Russian advance on Budapest
was not stopped the effect very probably
would be the downfall OF Austria and,
more particularly the collapse OF Hun
gary. which later would entail az a
logical sequence the downfall OF Ger
many.
Therefore, Baron Won Burian urged.
the Russians must be repulsed at all
costs and Germany must send large re-
endorsements to Hungary to prevent the
catastrophe. In any case, he said. 1t
was doubtful whether it would be pos
sible for them to resist the Russians
and Servians and perhaps also the Ru-
manlans therefore II was necessary to
examine the question OF peace seriously.
DOUBTLESS, he said, a sine qua non
OF the Allies demands would be the par
tial disarmament of Europe, including
Germany, because n peace that was
nothing but a truce for term of years
could not be acceptable TO the Allies,
however ardently they might wish peace.
The Austrian Foreign Minister ad-
vised Germany not to reject fundamen-
tally the thought OF peace on the grounds
OF the partial disarmament OF Europe.
The leading German statesmen ad-
mitted that Baron Won Burian's inten-
tons were excellent and to some extent
his plan was justified by the circum-
stances, but they declared that such a
peace would be more ruinous to Ger
many than n total defeat.
The disarmament of Europe, they
contended. would mean that only the
armies would be dlsarmed. while the
British navy would be able all the time
TO rule the seas Great Britain then
would be able 10 tyrannize over the
whole world and Germany would have
lost all chance OF safeguarding her
commercial. Industrial and economic in
terests.
THE other terms sketched by Baron
,un Burian. nau,-iy the restoration of
Belgium and northern France and the
recovery by Germany OF her colonies

The announcement by the French

terday so quickly followed the sink
ing Of three British merchantmen In
tho Irish Sea that Great Britain In
keenly alarmed as to the safety OF her
shipping in waters supposed TO be safe.
The ToFomaru carried foot. and cloth
ing for starving destitute Belgians.
Tho London Daily Mail asserts that
Baron Won Burian. speaking for Aus
tria- Hungary, informed German states
men that Austrias ruin was certain
unless Germany agreed to make peace
on terms involving partial disarma-
msnt OF Europe and the surrender Of
Alsace. Germany refused on the score
that Great Britain's naval power would
be unaffected and that Germany's
commercial ambitions would be hope
lessly ended. All that Won Burian
secured was German trooss for the
defence Of Hungary.
The French Government reports
that the British forces near La Bas-
see recaptured yesterday all the
trenches they had lost. There waA
heavy artillery fighting all along the
front. New German attacks in the
Argonne were repulsed.
The German War Office states thai
the German forces between La Bas-
see and Bethune captured some French
trenches. Except for artillery dueis
in Flanders no further report is made
OF the fighting on Saturday.
The Russian General Staff emphe-
sizes the Importance of operations on
the long front in Galicia and Buko-
wilma. A general battle has been be-
gun, with the Austro-German force
attempting to take the offensive, par
ticularly In the Valley of the Lower
San. The Germans were repulsed In
fierce lighting west of Warsaw. The

OF the situation in eastern Europe
the German War Office says merely
that Russian attacks east of LODI, on
the Warsaw front. were repulsed and

tons in East Prussia.
It is reported from Berlin that the

turned to Berlin and will remain there

Herman Silverstein. grocer. OF 1908
Herkimer street, Brooklyn. was in his
shop early last evening when a youth
about is years old entered and de-
manded food. Silverstein asked for
money, but the boy said he had no
money but must have food. He said
he and his mother were starving
Sllversteln refused, whereupon the boy
took up a knife, slashed the grocer on
the arm and then ran away. Slverstein
had his wound dressed and then told
the police the boys name was O'Donnell
and that he lived at 1000 Herkimer
street.
The police went there and found Mrs.
O'Donnel III from hunger. She has two
sons, one Is and the other IA years old.
She said the family has been on the
verge Of starvation for several weeks.
Her sons have walked all day looking
for work without success. Yesterday
morning there were only n few coffee
beans in the house. Her older boy was
fever.sh from lack OF food and left the
house. lie had not returned up to a

therefore was madness to take any

II can say in answer to one OF your

no amalgamation in the sense of any

There is fundamentally a vital differ
ence between liberals and conserva-
tives, or progressives and rcactiona-
rles. whether in one party or the
other-Progressive Democratic or Re-
publican.
This difference will continue. II is
the natural political division. and when
some great concrete issue OF vital in

division will take place along this line.
