AMSTERDAM, July f7.-The Austro-
Hungarian government regards the war
as "senselesS and purposeless blood
she'd" 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 portions of his address to
the Austrian and Hungarian premiers
Tuesday, according TO disuatches from
Vienna.
After declaring that the allies would
not succeed in their purpose OF sewing
discord among the nationalities in the
dual monarchy, the foreign minister
said:
ut is unnecessary further to char
acterize this method of flgntIng. our
races Indignantly disavow it. The reso-
lutte battle of defense must now be
carried on to good end until it brings
us the security necessary for our future
peaceful existence"
There should be no subject before
that diplomatic action and warlike ac-
tion are inseparable. The foreign min
ister declared that warfare and dlplo-
macy served the same end IN time OF
war, adding:
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-
tinuously on the watch and paying
heed to the possibilities of effective
activity.

willingness of the central powers for
peace be conceived. It will mol Tor TIE

in position on the lawn. Photographs

Several witnesses agree that the
German airmen flew back and forth

their engines, dropped to within a few

whose memories take them back to the
Civil war, says the Anaconda (Mont)
Standard.
Roasted barley, parched corn, chic
DRY roots, and even dandelion roots,
dried and roasted, were used as COT
fee substitutes. White or granulated
sugars were a rarity, and only on the
table for company. Brown sugar and
oId-fashioned black molasses, bread
and honey and even bread and ham
fat were considered pretty good enough
for all but the old people. In those
days nearly every family in town kept
COW. Those who didn't, as a rule,
went without milk. The papers Of
that day emphasized the fact that cof-
fee and tea were more nutritious when
used without milk.
