Sept. 24.—1n an inter view given to a Berlin newspaper. Baron Burian, Austro-Hungarian for eign minister, said 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 negotiations. "In a situation like the present," continued the minister, "it is some times necessary to clarify things by means of reagents. The note was such a reagent. It has already pro duced remarkable phenomena and will do so still more in the near fu ture. "Very extraordinary, for instance, was the remarkable rapidity of Pres ident Wilson's reply. Clearly, Presi dent Wilson wanted to anticipate the other entente governments. He al ways had the ambition to be a world arbiter and has not abandoned that ambition." U. S.
