sure eNerted by Germany to induce her
to make territorial concessions to Italy.
according to a Geneva dispatch to the
Petit Parisien. Count AndraSsy,
former premier of Hungary and several
other statesmen representing the dual
monarchy are reported to- nave gone

Chancellor Won Bethmann Hollweg and
Foreign Minister Won Jagow.
1t is reported at Geneva that if other

hope hat he may convince Emperor
Francis Joseph that it is necessary for
Austria to consent to the sacrifices
asked.

Hungarw as the price of peace include,
Il sweep of territory to the north and

around the northern end of the Adriatic
sea as far south at Fiume on the east

trian naval base at Pola. as well as the
provinces OF Trent and Triest, acQuisi-
ton of which has been Italy's long
cherished aspiration. The concessions
which Austria is believed to be willing
to make are insignificant as compared
with the demands.
What is said to be a presentation OF
Aust1ia's attitude toward Italy. as set
forth In a Vienna dispatch to Rome:
contains the statement that Austria. tfi
she agrees to make territorial conces-,
sions sufficient to satisfy Italy, win
defer formal transfer of the territory,
until after the war. Austria. it is said,
desires to assure herself hat Italy will

who had thus suddenly entered the real
estate field felt themselves fully quail
ted TO be builders. Building Is not an
art alone; IL is both an art and a
science. Il is also one Of the most ex-
acting arts and sciences. Therefore
these newcomers who set themselves up
a being well able TO undertake sue
cessfully vast building operations IN
this city were collectively about as
misplaced as human beings can pos
sibly be.
1t is true that most Of them got
their names on the long list Of build
ers in the metropolis, but they are
wrongly classified What they did was
simply 20 turn over their hard-esrned
savings TO contracting companies, with
the tools and the men and the expert
ence necessary for the work in hand,
and those companies put up fathouses
or other kinds Of structures. How
ever, without the directing hand OF
person who was able 70 tell whether
OF not the building was being put up
as ordered. the new structures were
in most instances badly erected. But
that was not the principal reason that
led 20 the wholesale readjustment Of
realty affairs soon after the subway
realty boom OF 1904 and 1905. what
brought il about was the fact that the
CITY had too many buildings OF resi-
Dental type, too many of the mercan,,
file class. and too many structures OF
many other classes And another fact
that was largely responsible for the
readjustment process was that in the
building up OF what are called the
newer home and business and Office,
districts Of the city no well planned
