Austrian and Hungarian premier, Is
quoted In dispatch from vienna as
saying:
There is hardly any principle
enunciated by the statements of both

from certain exaggerations.. arouse our
opposition"
Continuing the Austrian Hungarian
minister said.
The enemy's obstinacy regarding
his territorial demands concerning

other German colonies appears to pc
insurmountable."
In his references to President Wilson 5
four new points In his July 4 speech.
Baron Burian said he was able to ap-
prove of them heartily and that to
great extent nobody would refuse
homage to this genius, and THAT no.
body would refuse his cooperation"
Continuing the minister of Austria
Hungary, says:
IF our enemies continuously demand
atonement for wrong done, with, resti-
tuition. then this is q claim which we
could urge with moro justification
against them. because we have been
attacked and the wrong done to us
must be redressed.''

of the game. the abolition or this Of
flee is of doubtful expedicncy. Later,
when absolute prohibition has become
firmly fixed and established, after
nationwide prohibition has become
n law of the land, there will be less
need for State prohibition commits
sioner. The business can then be cas-

this Immediate section the county of

ness so far without help or suggestion
from the State officers. All that is
