pose in view Of what has happened In
the last week or two.
Raiding submarines have already
served warning Of the danger in more
forceful terms than Berlin could formu-
late in diplomatic communication. Sew
eral of the eighteen vessels sunk by
the raiders were neutrals. carrying no

not likely to have overlooked that fact

forthcoming warning may prove to be

day. forecasting a continuing menace
off Atlantic ports through regular sub
marine patrols.
Officials here have been fully awake
to the fact that such. patrols could be
maintained II the German authorities

coasts. 1t has been figured out that by
starting a new raider or fiotilla of raid.

BURIAN'S BERLIN
VISIT FRUITLESS
Kaiser's Government Cold
! Toward Austrian Solution
of Polish Question
WILL RENEW DISCUSSION
BY GEORGE RENwICK
Special Gable to Evening Public Ledger

Copyrfoht. 1918. by Ne,o York Times Co.
Amsterdam. June IA.
Baron Burian has returned to Vienna
after having had important conferences
with the German Chancellor and heads
OF the German Government and also
with the military authorities in Berlin
During such a brief visit discussion of
all the questions at issue could not Of
course. be brought to a finai point. and
the conversations are to be renewed in
few weeks time, either In Berlin or
Vienna
Germania, which Is inspired from the
Chanceliors palace, says that numerous
important questions must be decided be-
fore the exact nature of the new form
OF the Alliance can be fixed.
There appears to be an impression in
the Berlin political world that his visit
Is fated to be fruitless. He went to
Berlin to endeavor to sound the German
Government on the Austrian solution OF
the Polish question. Unless he can de-
finitely promise that the Austrian Poles.
the Austrian budget win remain the
stick it" measure 1t has been for long
time. and Austrian poi:tical chaos will
increase.
But Nhe German Government is not at
all favorably disposed to that descrip-
tion of the solution. What Burian told
the German Government with regard to
peace may fairly well be guessed from
the interviews he gave the other day
and from the desperate economic position
of Austria.
1t would be quite idle, of course, to
expect anything will come OF all the
peace talk now being INDUCED in pub
licly and privately in the Central EN-
pires. Burian may be regarded as the
most moderate factor among the enemy
statesmen. yet still he regards the Ru-
manian peace as including no conditions
which can be regarded as conquests.
The German press continues to discuss
the peace offensive In such manner as
to entitle one to stamp the whole busi-
ness as farce. The Kreuse Zeitung,
which, after starting the offensive. repu-
dates its own contributor. still allows
the same writer space In which to de-
velop his theory Of German peace. To
| obtain the necessary condition of free
dom Of the seas. England. he says. must
give US Gibraltar, Malta, Alden and other
places. Then, IL you please, Germany
would not require the Flanders coast.
There mustbe big economic agreement
Germany must receive her colonies
again. and, in addition, England must
signify her willingness to revive the un.
signed treaty drawn up just before the
war regarding the Portuguese colonies

Special Cable to Euening Public Ledger

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copyright, 1918. by Nc,D York Times Co.
The Hague, June ii.
George Bernhard, writing in the Vos-
sische zeitung. says that Foreign Min
lister Won Kuehlmann Is going to Ham,
burg in order to discuss reform of the
future foreign service of Germany with
the big merchants Of the Hansa towns.
AS your correspondent then cabled, at
the end of 1917, the largest Hamburg
merchants formed committee and ad-
dressed petition to the Chancellor de-
manding reforms in the foreign service.
This was after Won Luxburg's clumsy
tactics in South America.
The petition is really the basis for
the present negotiations between Won
Kuehlmann and the big commercial
Junkers of future Germany He hopes
for the Chancellorship when the time Is
ripe. and is playing his cards cleverly
with the merchant chiefs of the Hansa
towns.
Commercial Germans, merchants and
big exporters have had as much to say
as a bull in china shop about the
methods Of the German diplomatic serv-
ice. and consider that these have done
much to spoil after-war trade prospects
and even that they have been largely
responsible for Germany's isolation dur.
ing the war.
Economic War Occupies Press
Meantime the questions OF economic
war and the. procuring of raw materials
are occupying considerable space In the
German papers. Edward Achelis, presi-
dent of the Bremen Import Association
writing in the semiofficial Nordeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung, considers the eco
nomic war a strong enemy weapon
against Germandom and one which the
enemy is unwilling to give up. He be-
lieves that the Allies will not surrender
this weapon, even II the Central Powers
win the land war, and argues that IL is
an error to imagine that the FORMER
world economic position can be replaced
by close relations with Germanys ana
Austrias eastern and soutneaetern
neighbors or that the organization OF
a number of fighting monopolies will
help economically. Herr Achelis con-
siders that everything must be done 70
