Amsterdam, July 17.-Baron ycr
Bur;an, the Arstro-Hungarian pre-
mier, is quoted in a dispatch from
Vienna as saying:
"There hardly any difference be-
tween the general principles cnuncl-
ated by the statesmen of both bel
ligerents. President Wilson's four
new points of July 4 shall not, apart
from certain exaggerations. arouse
our opposition"
Baron Burian said ne was able to
approve of them heartily, and that to
q great extent nobody would refuse
homage to this genius and nobody
would refuse his cooperation.
Baron Burian said none of the bel
ligerent states need ever come into
the position reached by Russia and
Roumania as "we ever are ready to
enter into peace negotiations with ell
our opponents"
