German Shipowner
WarnsAgainstFai aith
In ''Mitteleuropa"
Continent Cannot Make Up
for Lost Markets, Heine-
ken Says
Internal Fight Hinted
Junkers Must Be Eliminated
After War, Hamburg
Line Man Thinks
Internal Fight Hinted

AMSTERDAM, July 17.-Those pan
Germans who dream of complete
economic independence as the result of
the projected Middle Europe League
arc rudely awakened by Philip Heine-
ken, director of the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company, who, in the
periodical "Deutsche Stmmen. pub
fishes an article which has attracted
a good deal of attention.
1t is Bremen, Hamburg and the othe r
seaports where the Entente strangle-
hold will be the most severely felt, the
director says, and the practical views
of business men there are apt to clash
with those Of political schemers in
Berlin.
Director Heineken, who expressly
disclaims judging the question from a
too narrow shipowner's point of view
warns against exaggerated expecta-
tions from the "blessed word 'Mittel-
europa as a cure-all for the economic
ills to which the Central Powers are
heirs
1t is a popular fallacy, he declares,
to imagine that Middle Europe will
make up for lost markets abroad He
prefers the principle adopted at
Vienna in a resolution of the Fed
Grated Austro- German Commercial
Unions last June, which was: "The
resumption of economic relations with
all nations"
Director Heneken cites a series of
figures taken from the German pre-
war imports list and continues by say
ing that glance shows it will be i'm
possible in the future to cover these
needs from domestic sources.
Austria Hungary, which has no colo
nies, he says, is especially dependent
on overseas supplies. 1t is of prime
Importance, Herr Heineken thinks, that
the Central Powers rid themselves as
soon as possible after the war of the
shackles of what he terms state So
cialistic war administration and return
to individual enterprise.
Middle Europe, he concludes, must
be made means to that end, but must
never be regarded as political
achievement for it's own sake.

whereas the ideas underlying such an
arrangement, which are capable of
realization and which also are warmly
approved by us. might be realized
much more easily and much more COM
pletely by the peaceable cooperation
of all peoples.
Looks Hopefully to Foe
"ln spite of all, we look ever more
hopefully toward the people now at
war with us to see whether at last they
have been delivered from the blind
ness which, after fearful Affections in
tour years of war, is driving the world
ever further into that destruction
The Foreign Minister said that his
confidence was based on the war alli-
ances, particularly the old alliances
with Germany. He said that Austria
and Germany would seek means of ex-
tending the alliance so that it will be
adequate for all the requirements of
new times.
"In these endeavors," he continued,
"the governments know they are in
agreement with the desires of the pre-
ponderating mass of their people. The
alliance will henceforth, as hitherto,
preserve it's exclusively defensive char
acter. 1t will also rest firmly on the
satisfactory solution of all questions
and on the necessities of joint concern
which have arisen from the war. 1t
must, therefore, not only cover polit-
ical relationships of the two powers,
but must also lead to changes under
altered conditions.
Economic. military and other rela-
tions in the future are to be drawn
closer. The agreement must comprise
solution, with due regard to desires
of the populations, Of the questions
connected with the rebirth Of Poland
"Henceforth the alliance will not
mean threat of unfriendliness toward
any one. Nothing will be included in
it calculated to offer a stimulus to the
formation of counter groups. Every
thing which in the future can be real
lied of the sublime idea of universal
league of nations shall find in our alli-
ance no obstacle, but favorable nu-
cleus and a prepared group which can
easily and naturally unite with every
general combination Of states resting
on concrete principles"
Foreign Minister Burian said that
Austria expected after the war to re-
and Bulgaria.
After declaring that "the continu-
ance of the war is due exclusively to
the one-sided and destructive aims of
the enemy, which can only be attained
over the ruins of the world" the For
eign Minister concluded by quoting the
final words of the reply Of Emperor
Charles to the Pope's peace note.

WASHINGTON, July lit is con-

fore the actual Inauguration of a cam

In the absence of any official infor-

President Wilson has modified his
views respecting the advisability of
Japanese cooperation in Russia.
The Czccho-Slavok operations all
the way from Vladivostok to Samara,
midway between the Siberian frontier

that the Allies are preparing for
campaign, to be conducted chiefly by
the Japanese, along the Siberian rail
way.

and equipped, which everywhere have

Tells Premiers Peace Would
Follow Signs of Foes
Humanity
Shedding of More
Blood "Purposeless"
Predicts Austria's Present
Alliances Will Be Much
Stronger in the End

AMSTERDAM, July 17.-The Austro-
Hungarian government regards the
war as "senseless and purposeless
bloodshed" and believes it might be
ended at the moment when the Allies
again manifest feelings Of humanity.
Baron Burian, the Austro- Hungarian
Foreign Minister. made this statement
in the concluding portion of his ad-
dress to the Austrian and Hungarian
Preriers Tuesday, according to dis
patches from Vienna.
After declaring that the Allies would
not succeed in their purpose Of sowing
discord among the nationalities in the
Dual Monarchy the Foreign Minister
said:
ut is unnecessary further to charac-
terize this method of fighting. Our
races Indignantly disavow it. The res
olute battle of defence must now be
carried on to a good end until it brings
us the security necessary for our fut-
ure peaceful existence"
There should be no public belief that
diplomatic action and warlike action
are inseparable. The Foreign Minister
declared that warfare and diplomacy
served the same end in time of war,
adding:
Watchful Diplomacy
'In every step it takes diplomatic
activity will pay due regard to the war.
The results of the conduct of the war
will have a determining influence on
the division of labor. On the other
hand diplomacy has duty. being con-
tinually on the watch and paying heed
to the possibilities of effective activity.
"Thus and not otherwise should the
Willingness Of the Central Powers for
peace be conceived. 1t will not for
the moment hamper the invincible de-
fence, but after victorious battles, just
as during pauses in battle, it will,
even without new peace offers, always
be intent in recalling that we regard
this war as senseless and purposeless
bloodshed which might at any moment
be ended by the reemergence of feel
ings of humanity in our enemies.
"In so far as they are not aiming at
the acquisition of territorv- they are
fighting against a windmill. They are
exhausting their strength and ours in
order to build on the ruins OF cjv'lizs
