geSted by Baron Burian, the Austro-

dress 10 visiting German newspaper
men. according 10 Vienna dispatch.
Such discussion, said the foreign
minister, need not take the form of
peace negotiations, but would have as
It's purpose the consideration Of all
things which are keeping the helliger-
ent powers apart.
Baron Burian advanced his sugges-

vide the opportunity lin a calm ex-
change of views-some sort of direct,
informative discussion Is thinkable
which would be- far from being peace
negotiations-of discussing and weigh
ing everything which today separates
the beIlIgerent parties, and no further
fighting will perhaps be needed to
bring them closer together"
