Samuel Untermyer Sees Only
Hope for Nation in Such

having conferences with Chancellor
Wirth at Berlin and with Count Ap-
ponyi of Hungary and other leading
representatives of Austria. Hungary
and Czechoslovakia at Carlsbad. has
arrived in Paris He preferred not to
discuss the subject of his meetings
when seen today. but spoke freely OF
Austrias situation.
There are just three courses for
Austria" he said. "One. that she pe
