THF 3I0BXIXG OKEGOXIAN. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 191S. BDBIMI HOPES FOR EARLY AGREEM ENT Baron Says Reception Accord ed Recent Peace Note Is No Surprise. ' NEXT STEP IS CONSIDERED Ex TTcsident Wilson's Action Is Sraordinarr, but He Always Had Ambition to Be World Ar biter," Says Official. V AMSTERDAM. Sept. 23. (By the As oclated Press.) In an interview with Theodor Wolff in the Berlin Tageblatt, Baron Burian, Austro-Hungarlan For eign Minister, aaid he was not sur prised at the reception of his peace note; naturally he did not suppose that the entente would straightway declare readiness to enter into peace negotia tions. "In a situation like the present." con tinued the minister, "it is sometimes necessary to clarify things by means of reagents. The note was such a reagent. It has already produced remarkable phenomena and will do so still more in the near future. -Very extraordinary, for instance, was the remarkable rapidity of Presi dent Wilson's reply. Clearly President Wilson wanted to anticipate the other entente governments. He always had the ambition to be a world arbiter and has not abandoned that ambition since the United States entered the war as a result of the U-boat warfare. Hence, lie set out his 14 points, and in addition twice four; that is. altogether 22. which re to be authoritative for the new ar rangement of the world. Inslmcerity Net Charged. "I don't suggest that he is insincere, but one could instance many cases where America herself has offended against the principles he formulates; lor example, the treatment of Colombia and the seizure of Texas. But. after all. large regions were thereby opened to civilization. I will only say that it does not do to be always contrasting our actions with the views expressed by President Wilson's points." Baron Burian attributed President Wilson's haste in replying to his desire to prevent an agreement between Great Britain and France, and he declared that it would serve no purpose to reply to speeches like Mr. Balfour's and Pre mier Clemenceau's. Aarrermeat la Admitted. With regard to the date of dispatch ing the note he said: "There was complete agreement be tween us and Germany. There were certain divergencies of opinion, but they did not concern the date of dis patch. "We do not want to reproach our selves later with having neglected any thing. The note has had the subsidiary effect of dragging into the light of day tttb situation in the opposing camp, and its non-success will not prevent me from further following the road en tared upon. We shall take the next step when the time seems suitable, and al ways in the fullest accord with our al lies." AMSTERDAM, Sept. 23. Bulgaria's reply to tne Austrian peace note, says among other things: "This initiative corresponds entirely with the aspirations of the Bulgarian government and people. The Bulgarian arovernraent hastens to express its read iness to vend delegates to such a con 1 erence. We seek neither conquests nor the establishment of hegemony over our neighbors." The note concludes with an expres sion of sympathy with President Wil son's views on the settlement of Bal kan conflicts in accordance with the rights of nationalities. allies have the initia'tive in their hands and are pressing their advantage rigorously. The Germans end their allies nowhere are able to do more than stand on the defensive. From north of Jerusalem to the Sea of Galilee In the territory lying be tween the River Jordan and the Medi terranean Sea. the Ottoman forces have been caught by the swift drive of the British armies and virtually annihilat ed. At last accounts more than 25,000 of the Sultan's soldiers and 260 guns and large quantities of war stores were in British hands. In the region between Monastlr and the Vardar the enemy troops are in full retreat before the Italians, French and Serbians, while west of Dolran the British are steadily hammering their war forward, driving the enemy north ward toward the Bulgarian frontier. Not so spectacular, but of vital im portance, have been the operations or the French and British from the South of St. Quentln to Cambral. Both the French General Debeny and Field Mar shal Haig iiave won highly essential ground in the maneuvers which have as their objectives the obliteration of the Hindenburg line, the capture or tot. Quentln and the turning of the German line at Laon. South of St. Quentln the French have advanced their line to the west bank of the Oise canal over a front of three miles and now completely outflank St. Quentln on the south and La Fere on the North. Meanwhile Field Marshal Haig north of St. Quentln around the village of Epehy. has taken strong positions from the enemy. In Eastern Siberia the Japanese nave captured Blagovestchensk. capital of the province of Amur, and also the town of Alexlevsk; 200 Austro-German troops surrendered.

The offer was made when labor and materials were much cheaper than at present. Mr Barbur maintains so the record In the work Is even more credit able than were the estimates. The work on the boulevard included preparation of 14,458 square yards of base, consisting of an original mac adam, which was scanned and re shaped with new material. Original bids called for an expenditure of $1.40 per square yard for the work. TWO SLACKERS ARE HELD Four Men, Arrested Aboard Vessel, to Face Federal Charges. ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.)

It Is not known when the robber boarded the train. He appeared with a drawn gun before the engine crew and forced them to stop the train. He then compelled the uncoupling of the mail and baggage car, during which he took two shots at Fireman R. N. Kay burn who had thrown a hammer at him. Two shots were also fired at Luther Moore, express messenger, and more shots were fired along the sides of the train as conductor and passenger's ap peared at the windows. With the two uncoupled cars, the bandit ordered Engineer M. K. McLean, of Seattle, to move down the track one mile. The fireman and H. L. Chapman, in charge of the mail car, were taken along.

Keep Your Skin Healthy with For Toilet and Bath SESBC Theatrical Review. Pantages. iTjRETTT SOFT" Is pretty clever, -X too, and full of pretty sur prises. It is one of the best acts on the new bill at Pantages. A trio talented folk offer It. Maude Tarke Is a be-Jewelled fortune-teller and one wise guy played by Cato S. Keith comes to her for asistance in entrap pin a girl who Is coming soon as prospective client. The fortune-teller double-crosses the wise guy, and when the audience is roaring at the climax the wise guy suddenly returns and does some double-crossing, too, and again the audience has a lot of fun A pretty little maid, Tenney Flaherty, who looks as Irish as she sounds, plays tne role or the Miss innocence. Another keen offering is that of Permaine and Shelley, who have their Idea copyrighted besause It's so un usual. .Shelley appears, and in broken French warns the audience to be auiet during Permalne's act, as Permaine knows no Kngiish and while he gives but one act, an amazing handstand leaping from a trapeze, it is asked that it be done in absolute quiet. So the audience settles Into a death-like stillness and rermalne well, he goes up on the trapeze, but he doesn't do the handstand. It's a riot. Then he plays a concertina and Sheeley plays the violin and makes sweet harmony, Another sweet harmony act is that of the Victoria Trio, three good-look- ni; girls in smart attire, whose voices are big and musical and especially pleasing In the juzz selections they render. One girl gives a rooster crow and some chicken conversation that provokes a big demonstration. Rekoma is a graceful, daring and original equilibrist, working smoothly and artistically. ' Miss Jo Locer is a dainty lass who sings character songs. The closing act is full of pretty girls who dance beautifully. It is called The Two Thieves," featuring 25 in the cast.
