NEW BANK HOURS
BEGIN THIS WEEK

A new plan that will go into ef-
feet this week in Moline is the
closing of banks at 1880 on We'd
nesdays and observing of regular
hours on Saturdays.
This system was adopted by Mo-
line bankers at a meeting held yes
terday afternoon. The congestion
at banks during the hour which
they wer opened on Saturday nights
is largely responsible for the
change and doubtless many people
will find it more convenient under
the new rule.

No ALTERATION IN
 AUSTRIAN PROGRAM
Baron Burian Expresses Pleasure
 at Conference Of KaiSerS

Amsterdam, Aug. 21.-Baron Bur- ian, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, in an interview with a Vien- na newspaper declared himself com- pletely satisfied with the results of the conference last week at German main headquarters. Despite the brev- ity of the conference, all questions of interest to Austria Hungary or Ger many and every important question regarding war and peace has been discussed and no alteration was made in our peace program"
 Regarding the Polish question he said a plan has been drafted to enable further negotiations to proceed quick lE. Asked concerning the basis of these negotiations the baron said:
 Our program remains unchanged. We maintain our principle that the wishes of the Polish people regarding their future must within limits es- sential to the interests of the Central Powers, be considered. It was de- cided, therefore, to invite the Poles to participate in the Austro- German negotiations"
 The foreign minister added that the Poles have the right to freely choose their own king and that the details will be settled at negotiations con- duCted in common.
 T still uphold the point of view that if we are compelled to continue a war of defense, we must continue still to make use of every means that could lead us to peace," Baron Burian declared in discussing the question of peace. "Our action must run parallel with the continuation of our military operations. As long as the enemy de- sires to destroy us militarily we must defend ourselves. This, however, does not prevent us from striving for an honorable peace by arrangement
