Teutons to Make
No Further Peace
Offer, Says Buria1
Austrian Foreign Minister
Declares Allied Views
Force Continued War

VIENNA (via Amsterdam), June Ii
Baron Burian, the Austro- Hungarian
Minister for Foreign Affairs. in an in
terview printed in "Az Est" said he
still adhered to the policy of peace
by understanding as expressed in De-
cember, 1916, and continued:
"The Dual Monarchy seeks no an
neXations. We already have concluded
four peace treaties, but none of them
contains anything that could be inter
preted as conquest.
Regarding Rumania, which attacked
us, we naturally had to think of safe
guarding our hitherto unprotect-
ed frontier. The annexation of this
almost uinhabited strip of wood
ed Carpathian passes has moth
ing whatever to do with the the
subjugation Of foreign peoples. More
over, the Rumanians themselves, dare
say, are not under the impression that
they have been treated too harshly."
Baron Burian said there could hardly
be question of any fresh peace offer
by the Quadruple Alliance SO long as
the leading statesmen of the Entente
espoused views such as those expressed
by Premier Lloyd George in his recent
speech in London. SO long as statesmen
talk like that nothing remains but to
defend ourselves resolUtely."

LONDON. June 1.-THE Dublin COR

fesscs to be able to give the details
of q plan for conducting voluntary
RECRUITING campaign in Ireland, which
he understands. has as one of it's great
features the bringing of American
regiments to Ireland to march through
the towns and villages. These regi-
ments, he adds. will have their priests
with them.
This plan, continues the correspond

sembling those of general election
under the controlling direction OF Ed
ward Short, the Chief Secretary for
ireland. He adds that important prog
ress has been made in the direction Of
enlisting the aid of the Nationalist
party Stephen Gwyn. Nationalist
member of the House of Commons, is
member of the central committee
under this plan, the correspondent
states, while other Nationalist members
have expressed wish to help. Ar
thur Lynch, Nationalist member for

Fisherman Declares
Schooner Supplied
U-Boat With Food

U. S. naval representatives started an
investigation yesterday of an unusual
story of an auxiliary schooner reported
as having supplied a U-boat with pro-
visions some forty miles southeast Of
Long Branch several nights ago.
Howard Applcgate, fisherman of
Seabright, told how while fishing for
mackerel Monday he saw the schooner
approach the U-boat in the darkness.
After both had made fast to each other,
he said. he observed several bulky
objects passed from the sailing vessel
to the raider.
When the job was done, he said, the
schooner swept the sea shoreward with
a searchlight. Presently the light was
put out and the. schooner poured out
clouds of smoke which obscured both
vessels. When the smoke cleared the
submarine was gone and the schooner
was seen slipping away as if driven
by gasoline engine.
1t was said at the Custom House yes
terday that Applegate's story would
receive careful investigation. One
theory held by the investigators is that
the. schooner might have been held up
by the raider and forced to surrender
her stores.

176 Passengers Arrive
With Story Of Battle
of Irish Coast
Steamer Attacked
Amid a Dense Fog
She'll Hits Submarine Af-
ter Attempt to Ram
Her Fails

A big British liner which outfought
and sank q submarine q few hundred
miles west of the Irish coast on June
arrived here yesterday with 176 jubi-
liant passengers.
Admiralty regulations prevented the
skipper and his officers from discussing
the incident, but the story was told by
travellers who saw the fight. Their
narratives had the unofficial approval
of the officers and the gun crew.
The battle started at $50 q. m. June
and continued about four minutes.
Destroyers we're present. but had no
chance to take part, as the submarine
was smashed quickly by the merchant
mans 4-inch stern gun.
This liner was the first eastbound
merchantmen to be attacked by sub
marine since Won Tirpitz announced his
U-boat policy, nearly two years ago.
She since has been attacked four or
five times.
Attacked in Fog
She was steaming at full speed
through fog under convey when the
starboard bow.
The skipper turned his vessel head
on for the enemy, with the intention of
cutting him in two. The U-boat
maneuvred so the liner passed to star
board by about twenty feet. AS the
steamer sped past, the U-boat, a big
one, we'll up on the surface. drifted
along the port side and she'll from
tho howitzer on the port quarter was
fred, but missed.
The skipper remarked to his chief
officer, of she's got a stern tube we
are done for" Just then the 4-inch
stern gun belched and sank the sub
marine. 1t was perfect hit, at about
$50 yards. The shot hit the u-boat's
coming tower at it's base. crumpling
the structure, which disappeared in
cloud of smoke and vapor. The de-
stroyer glded over and dropped two
Gcrth bombs, putting, as the skipper de-
scribed it, "the finishing touch to
smart job"
Twice Attacked Later
Many of the passengers, unaware Of
the fight, felt the shock of the de-
stroyer's depth bombs, and were conf
dent their vessel had been torpedoed.
Three hours later, after the fog had
lifted, a periscope was sighted off the
port bow, and shot from the forward
port gun caused the U-boat to sub
merge quickly. Two destroyers dis
charged four depth bombs. It is be-
lieved this submarine also was de-
stroycd. A similar encounter occurred
shortly before dusk on June l, and it is
believed bombs also destroyed the third
submarine.
On the way into port yesterday the
vessel was accompanied by several
American destroycrs and hydro-aero-
plane.

Kings Must Stick Together"
Won Ferdinand TO Ieutons

contrast to the subservient tone of
his letter this month to Premier Mar
ghiloman AS late as mid ebruary the
King expressed to the Associated Press
correspondent desire that an inter
view or q statement showing his loyal
adherence to the alliance with the En-
tentc should be published in the
United States.
10 the Americans
An audience was arranged, and the
King insisted in speaking English, al
though he is not a complete master of
English, because, he said, he was
anxious to make his position abso-
lutely clear to the American people,
and thought that it could be done
better in plain English than through
a translation from the French or Ru-
meniau. Unfortunately. the interview
was started to the United States by
way Of Odessa. A strike Of Boshevik
telegraph operators there prevented it
from going any further.
On the subject of peace proposals
by the Central Powers, which was then
the all important subject in Jassy, the
King, in the interview, declared:
ut would be unthinkable for Ru
mania to accept peace without the
consent of her allies. For Rumania
to make such peace would be an act
Of dishonor."
Concerning his relations with the
German and Austrian emperors, the
King said:
81 can understand sovereigns being
angry against each other, but ! cannot
understand them entertaining feelings
of hatred toward one another. 4 SOW
ereign cannot always act according to
his personal dictates or according to
family ties, but must carry out the
will and interest Of his people"
In looking over the final draft of the
interview, the King, said he wished to
emphasize particularly the closing
paragraph, in which he had expressed
hope that around the final peace table
Rumania's welfare would be the par
ticular care and solcitudo Of the
American delegates.

comments on the agitation which is
reigning in Austria and does not hide
the anxiety which the situation causes
the authorities. Austrians have caused
placards to be placed in all the big
towns of the monarchy. and above all
in the Slavic provinces, announcing
that the government is aware of the
Slavic national evolutionary pleas and
that it will suppress by force and
without pity any attempts at uprising.
"The Austro- -Hungarians pretend
that we are on the eve of political Of

the Dual Monarchy and that the En-
tente will support this nation of the

(ASSOCldtcd Press Correspondence
LONDON, May 31.-A private and
secret letter written to King Ferdi
nand of Rumania by Emperor Charles
Of Ausria Hungary in the latter
part Of February marked the turn
ing point Of Rumanias participation
in the world war, and was one of the
deciding factors in the long series of
intrigues which eventually broke the
spirit of the Rumanian King. Under
this outside pressure King Ferdinand
changed from an ardent supporter Of
the war against Germany into luke
warm and vacilating opportunist, and
finally into a distinct peace advocate.
"This is time when kings must
stick together
This is the most striking sentence
of the letter Of Emperor Charles. The
letter has never been published and
its existence up to this time has been
known to only a few persons outside
the highest court circles in Rumania.
A summary Of its contents was COM

who is one of the most steadfast
friends of the Allies at the Rumanian
court.

peror directed the attention of King
Ferdinand to the great danger for all
monarchial institutions from the wave
of socialism which was sweeping East
ern Europe. lie drew q heartfelt pict-
ure Of the danger to Austria from
the spread of bolshevism across the
Russian border, and declared the Ru-
manian dynasty was in equal danger

Emperor Charles pleaded with the
Rumanian King to join with other
monarchcs in Europe in the death
grapple with democracy, and prom
ised that if Ferdinand would aban-
don the Allies, Germany and Austria
would support him in retaining his
throne. After portraying Rumania

Emperor Charles closed his letter with
