When she spoke of their kindnees to her she did not contemplate how muoh their conduct was the mutt of her own.

Minister, at his recent meetiag with the German Emperor drew a doleful picture of the Plight of the Dual Monarchy, and urged teat the time had arrived, for the Germanic powers to consider most serSously the possibilities ror a toter - able peace. He advised Germany not to reject fundamentally the thought of peace, having for its basis the disarmament: of Europe. Perhaps It would be: necesssary to leave the French part ote Alsace to France and to give up some • Polish Provinces to a new Poland, but it Russia would relinquirth a province and Austria a part of Galicia to Poland no real sacrifice for Germany woulif be entailed. "Austria would then leave tho rest of Galicia, to Russia, and Bulcowina to Roumania, and, if necessary, a part ot NI3Toosnntioaneaicio.Ilerzegovina. to Selena and I "The leeding German statesmen' ad- niitted Baron urian's intentions were excellent and, to • some extent, justi- fied by circumstances, but they de- clared that sucha peace would be more ruineus to Germany than total 'defeat. "The other terms advanced by Bar- on Burian, namely, the status quo ante bellum, that Is to say, the restoring ot Belgium and northern France, but likewise the recovery by Germany of .her colonies, were, with the exception ot the relinquishments to Franco of French Alsace and of the Polish prog- laces to Poland, no absolute hindrance to peace. "For the reason eot forth the Ger- man statesmen declared the noodle - tams for peace are hopeless, and that therefore, it would be madness to take any steps revealing a disposition for peace on the part of Germany and Aus- tria-Hungary, as this would only weak- en their cause."
