Hungarian government regards the war
as ''senseless and purposeless blood
shed and believes 1t might be ended at
the moment when the allies again manifest
feelings of humanity. Baron Burian.
the Austro-llungarlan foreign minister,
made this statement In the concluding
portion of his address TO the Austrian
and Hungarian prcmlers Tuesday. ac-
cOrding to dispatches from Vienna
After declaring the allies would not
succeed III their purpose of sowing dis
cord among the nationalities IN the dual
monarchy, the foreign minister said
1T is unnecessary further to char
acterizo this method Of fighting. Our
races Indignantly disavow it The
rcsolute battle Of defence now must be
carried on to a good end, until it brings
us the security necessary for our future
peaceful existence
WAR AND DIPLOMACY UNDNoRCABLE
There should be no public belief that
diplomatic action and warlike action are
inseparable The foreign minister de-
ciared warfare and diplomacy served the
same end in time OF war, adding.
In every step it takes, diplomat &c
activity will pay due regard to the war.
Tho results Of the conduct of the war
will have determining influence on
the division Of labor On the other hand,
diplomacy has duty, being continually
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 Ii will not for the
moment hamper the invincible defence,
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
re-emergence Of feeling OF humanity III

Insofar as they are not aiming at the
acquisition Of territory, they are fighting

ment Of the world, whereas the ideas
underlying such an arrangement, which
