to Budapest newspapers the Austro-
Hungarian government desires peace
i'm agreement with Germany. not
withstanding the fact that measures

crown council was held Saturday at
which military measures that had
become necessary as a result of
Bulgaria's action were taken to
guarantee an effective defense, but
the government was still striving at
the earliest possible moment in
agreement with Germany to secure
a peace that would absolutely pre-
