how can anyone account for the strange
fact that. at all The five points at which
the alleged rising was supposed to have

LONDON, Sent. 16.-Arthur ]. Balfour.
the British Foreign Secretary In an ad-
1ress to visiting foreign journalists to-
day, denounced the Austrian peace pro-
posals as a trap. He was careful to
state that he spoke as an individual. as
he had had no opportunity to consult
his colleagues in the Government. but
his speech is taken as a definition OF
the attitude OF the Entente Powers.
While it Is practically certain that the
proposals from Vienna will be studied
carefully by the Allies. Mr.. Balfour
voiced the opinion. which is almost uni
versaiiy expressed by the newspapers
and In diplomatic circles. when he said
that 80 far as he had been able to
study the Austrian note he could not
see the smallest hope that the, goal the
Allies desired to reach. the goal of a
peace which should be more than a
truce, could really be attained" on the
basis offered by Vienna. He said:
Until those who represent the des-
TIMES of Germany. whether they be
the headquarters stan. or the Emperor.
or the Chancellor. or the Vice-Chancel-
lor, or the Reichstag. whoever the gov
erning forces may be-until they are
prepared to show at least an open mind
prepared to see that solution in conform
ity with what the co-belligerents believe
to be justice. civilization and right.

Foreign Secretary Balfour gave his
opinion OF the peace maneuvre to the

II cannot honestly see In tie propo-
sails now made to us as l have been
able to study them the slightest hope
that the goal we all desire--the goal OF
peace which shall be more than truce

Mr.. Baifour said he agreed with the

declared that he was much gratited by
the work done by the aerial force OF

As the American aviation centres are
not yet completed Mr.. Ryan said he de-
