TOLERABLE PEACE
URGED BY AUSTRIAN
KAISER WARNED THAT RUSSIAN
ADVANCE ON BUDAPEST MEANS
COLLAPSE OF HUNGARY.
Austro-HungarIan Foreign Minister
Advises Emperor Not to Reject
Thought Of Peace on Grounds Of
Probable Disarmament.

London.-The Copenhagen cores
pendent of the Daily Mail asserts that
Baron Burian, the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister, at his recent meet
ing with the German emperor, drew a
doleful picture of the plight of the
dual monarchy and urged that the
time had arrived for the Germanic
powers to consider most seriously the
possibilities for a tolerable peace.
The dispatch says: From a trust
worthy and well-informed source in
Berlin | received the following state
ment regarding the negotiations be
tween the German statesmen and Bar
on Burian, who recently visited the
German chancellor in Berlin and EN-
peror William at the army headquar-
tiers in France.
Baron Burian, whose sole object 1t
Is to save what can be saved OF the
dual monarchy, represented to the
Germans that the situation in Austria
was most precarious and that If the
Russian advance on Budapest is not
stopped the effect may very probably
be the downfall of Austria and the
complete collapse of Hungary, which
must later entail, as a logical Sc
quence also the downfall of Germany.
Therefore Baron Burian urged that
the Russians must, at all costs, be
repulsed and that Germany must send
large reinforcements to Hungary to
prevent catastrophe. In any case,
he said, it was doubtful If It would be
possible for them to resist the Rus.
SLAMS and Serbians and perhaps also
the Roumanians. Therefore It was
necessary seriously to examine into
the question of peace.
A definite defeat would mean a de
bacle for Austria-Hungary and the par
tition of the empire His advice to
Germany was to consider most seri
ously the possibilities of a tolerable
peace. He advised Germany not to re
ieet fundamentally the thought o.
peace ON the grounds of probable
disarmament of Europe. If Germany
was disposed to treat on such terms
he believed the other conditions would
be tolerable, Perhaps 1t would BIZ
necessary to leave the French part o.
Alsace to France and give up some
Polish provinces to new Poland, bu
if Russia would relinquish a provinces
and Austria a part of Galieia to Pc
land no real sacrifice for German,

Austria would then leave the res
of Galicia to Russia and Bukowina b
Roumania and, If necessary, a part o

The minority economy program to

of state officials, recommending they

when the majority wing passed the
