BARON BURlAN BELIEVES
PEACE WILL SOON COME
Foreign Minister Announces to German
Deputies Delegations VIII Meet
Next Month.
nv Associated Press,

AMSTERDAM. September 19.--Baron
Hurian. the Austro- hungarian Foreign
Minister, in announcing to the German
deputies that the American and Hun
Gararian delegations would assemble in
the first fortnight of October. is quoted
in dispatch from Vienna as saying
that his note to the belliSerents had
been considered for weeks. and was in
no wise Influenced by recent events on
tho battle front.
The Foreign Minister said he had
taken the step alone, "of course. not
without previously acquainting our al
lies OF il and being certain Of their
approval in principle" because, on the
one hand the proposal had TO avoid the
appearance of a peace offer by the cen
tral powers, and on the other because
the proposal was to be addressed TO all
the belligerents.
Baron Burian said success would.
perhaps. not Immediately ensuc. but
the loyal intentions which were behind
tho proposals would undoubtedly
strengthen the conviction that no pos
siblc success obtainablc from con-
tinIation of the war would be able to
weigh against the heavy sacrifices
which the struggle would continue TO
impose on the nations.

 The Belgians are pressing on be- yond the city closing the neck of the bottle reaching to the North Sea, but the bulk of the Germans undoubtedly have escaped from the coast.
 The progress elsewhere includes the capture of Templeuve, mile from the Escault river, northwest of Tournai.
 In the sharp fighting here the Brit ish are driving the Germans faster than they want to go.
 North of the Escault the villages of Bouchin, Reulx and Abscon have been captured and the advanced troops have fought their way into the west. ern outskirts of Domain along the Reulx- Domain railway. :.

 Officials heard without comment of the report that Germany would accept President Wilson's conditions gen erally" with a reservation that, sub marine warfare must continue :to the end of the war.
 About the State Department this was regarded as an indication that the Berlin government without con- ceding the surrender that it has been told must be made, would seek to continue diplomatic discussions with the hope of eventually weakening the position of her enemy and winning the much desired negotiated peace.

 It was reiterated that only con- plete acceptance will satisfy the Uni ted States and the allies and that an effort by the Germans to evade the
