BARON BURIAN MADE
FOREIGN MINISTER TO

Tone of Austro-German Press Indi-
Gates Profound Impression Has
Been Created in Empires

Amsterdamy April 17.-Baron Burian
has been appointed Hungarian
foreign minister in succession to Count
Czernin, according to Vienna dispatch.
Baron Burian, in taking the foreign
ministry, retains his portfolio as minister
of finance.
Baron Stephen Burian Won Rajecz was
minister of foreign affairs from Septem-
Der Is, 1914, to December %, 1916 when
he was succeeded by Count Czernin,
whose place he now takes. Baron Burian
has been Austro-Hungarian finance min
lister since Count Czernin has been in the
foreign office. Baron Burian took the
minister in 1914 and he was the author
of the notes to the United States on the
case of the Italian steamship Ancona.

of American lives, in the fall of 1915.

of the Austrian and German press in
dicates that a profound impression has
been caused in those countries by the
uO&llldll Ol NOdlil NHCt ny iSi ittf~Ai
people and the German element in Aus
tria resent the retirement of the minister,
and after his resignation was announced
began a vigorous campaign for the APP
pointment as successor of former Premier
Tisza, Count Andrassy, or another Hun
garian whose views agree with theirs.
. The Mittag Zeitung of Vienna says
Count Czernin's fall was due in part to
lack of agreement with the Emperor in
regard to Poland and his attacks on the
Czechs.
The same elements which deplore the
fall of Count Czernn are beginning to at
tack the German foreign minister, Or.
Won Kuehmann, on the pretext that he
did not protect Germany's economic IN
terests sufficiently in the treaty of Brest-
Litovsk.

This warning was issued to them by
Richard M. Hobbie, state food admins
traitor, Wednesday, following the
charges brought against the food admin
istratioa in the federal court Tuesday.
Administrator Hobbie said it had been
the practice of the administration to re-
lieve violators of the heavy penalties
by making donations to the Red Cross
when it was believed they did not under
stand the regulations.
But now all persons should know the
rules and we will refuse to compromise
any cases" said Mr.. Hobbie.
