Olspatihe from Unila I'eal state, that at a din ner given by the premier In honor of Count Cxernln, foreign minister, the later, In speaking of Austria's peace policy said: " When I wa appointed to my poet I utlllxed the first opportunity open ly lo declare that we did not want lo oppress any one, but that on the other hand we would mil suffer any oppression, and thai we were pre pared to enter upon peace negotia tion as soon as our enemies accept ed the standpoint of peace by agreement." Count Cxerajo aald a plain state ment of war alms was essential. , "Wllh unrestricted armaments the nations would be oomiielled to increase ten-fold everything and the military estimates of the great pow er would amount to 'billion. That Is Impossible. It would mean com plete ruln l I To return to the arma ment status of 1914 would be a great reduction but there would be nu meaning In not going farther, and actually diarmlng.

Hut the war bos produced new facts, conditions and conceptions which have shaken the foundation of Kuropean politlrs as they previously have existed. In conclusion, Count Cxernln threatened that unless peace without annexations or Indemnities were Im mediately accepted It would force Austria-Hungary to revise its pro gram and seek compensation for fur ther costs of the war.
