Austria's peace offer la still open

'can hardly longer be doubted. An
official reply to Foreign Minister
Hurlan's note has not been received,
therefore the reasons which prompt
ed the attitude of the governments
of the entente cannot be discussed
at present. Only from Secretary
Balfour is an exhaustive discussion
for a suggestion available. His argu
ments show how correctly Baron
Burian's proposal Judged the situa
tion and that only adoption ot the
baron's line ot thinking could master
the confusion o' minds prevailing
everywhere until today." Regarding
Balfour's speech it must be pointed
out that It contains a series of rash
conclusions concerning the attitude
of the central powers. Only If dis
cussed under conditions free from
the influence of passion can the
peace question make any progress
which Is In the Interest of humanity."
