J Foreign London, Sept. Balfour, the British Secretary, giving his personal viewpoints on the Aus trian peace note to visiting journalists St incredible that come of this proposal,” “I cannot honestly, in the proposals now made to us as I,have been able to study them,” Mr. Balfour said, “see the slightest hope that the goal weo all desire-—the goal of a peace which shall be more than truce—can really be attained.” The Foreign Secretary said he was utterly unable to see that a conference proposed by Austria could have the desired end. e said he agreed with the Austrian note when its authors d that the whole civilization was at take and that the prolongation of hostilities was a risking or sacrificing of a great deal that was really dear to everybody interested in the progress of mankind. The terms of peace and war were so tremendous and the ‘alamities imposed by the continua- tion of hostilities so overwhelming he said, that he would never treat with disrespect any peace proposal. Conversations such as were Propos- by Autria-Hungary Mr. Balfour said, undoubtedly would have great value under certain circumstances. He said they would serve to smooth out obscurities such as questions of pride, etc., but he declared that the questions now between the bel- ligerents were defintely defined. “I am not taking the proposals of two vears ago or of last vear, but of last week.” Secretary Balfour said. “The German vice chancellor, speak- ing for the German government, clear- ly and without obscure verbiage showed where Germany stood on the question of Belgium, Alsace-Lorraine, the German calonles and the Brest- Litovsk and Bucharest treaties.” No Indemnity for Belgium. It could not be more clearly set forth than it was by Von Payer last week that Germany intended to pay no indemnity to Belgium, Mr. Balfour continued. He indicated, the fareign secretary said, that Germany did not believe in the priaciple of indemnities, and yet at the same time she is squeez- ing milllons of dollars out of Russia. “This,” the spoaker went on, “was for the wrongs Russia is supposed to have done Germany. How can those wrongs be compared with the devasta- tion and ruin which Germany is wreaking on Russia now?” Regarding the question of colonies, Secretary Balfour said: “The colonies are one question on which there is no misunderstanding. We stand on one side and Germaay on the other.” Referring to the lack of concerted effort by the Central Powers, as em- phasized by the Van Payer speech and the Austrian note, the foreign secre- tary pointed to the clumsiness of Ger- man diplomacy. “The German,” he added, direct, simple brutality, but tried to dress in President clothes or tries to act as Wilson would act he is clums The foreign secretary continued: “Von Payer made a long speech last week in which he gave utterance to words which were perfectly explicit and quite unmistakable. Take Bel- gium, for example. The phrase he uses is a very curious one, but T sup~ pose it is intended to mean that Ger- many feels that she really must re- store Belgian independence. She does nat say what she is doing to do to re- store Belgian prosperity or that in- demaities are to be given to the coun- try she wasted, brutalized and rav- aged. “But it seems that if Belgium will consent to make certain modifications in her internal arrangements she is to be allowed to get back her independ- ence. Jlicit thaugh it be, it explic- itly refuses that which we think ob- viously Jjust, namely, restoration of and indemnity to Belgium, which has been so monstrously treated. “Von Payer stated that the German houndartes should remain intact, which of course means that Germany will keep Alsace-Lorraine. There are no misunderstandings between the bellig- erents on that score.” Mr. Balfour recalled that Von Payer said the Brest and Bucharest treaties should stand and declared: “There is no misunderstanding there It is in black and white without cir- cumspection or fine phrasing. No dexterity of dialogue is going to smooth differences of that kind.” Mystified by Note. that such a said.- is anythir can ed “excels in when he Wilson’s President The Secretary said hardy conceive of he could note being THAT MORNING LAMENESS If you are lame every morning, and suffer urinar there must be a cause. Often it's weak kidneys. To strengthen the weakened kidneys and avert more serious troubles, use Doan's Kidney Pills. You rely on New Britain testimony. F. Clanflone, shoemuker, 147 Maln St w Britaln, says: “I couldn’t stand on my feet for ten minutes be- fore my back began to ache and pain. As 1 have to be on my feel all the tme, it made it very hard on me. I used to go home evenings all tired out and hing across my back so badly that T was miserable. 1 couldn’t sleep on account of the pain and it was hard to turn over or move in bed. Mornings on getting up I tired, lame and stiff across my back. I took Doan's K Pills which I bought at Scherp’s Dr Store, and now [ feel like @ different man.

Foster-Milburn | so definitely la | lomatist, | sent so soon after the German govern- through its Vice Chancellor, had d down its policies on »cts which were uppermost in the minds of all the belligerents. 1le con- sldered it one of the plainest ments ever made by a German dip- and contended that it made impossible a settlement by conversa- met, subj state- | tion. “Until the Central Powers are of open mind and arc prepared to dis cuss our views of what we believe to be right and justice and for the up- 1ft of civilization,” continued the Sec- retary, ‘“mere conversations for tical results were useless.” He could not help comparing Von Paver's speech with the note and wonde g what w the central idea, of the culpability of the allied people adding:—"They ecvidently think they embitter whatever * differences may exist between the allied countrics and counteract the present allied suc- ce on all fronts. 1 cannot bring myself to believe that this is an hon- est attempt at peace by understandi prac- can But I am driven to the opposite opin- | ion—that it is an attempt to weaken the forces in the ficld which are prov- ing too strong for them.” Mr. Balfour's speech was by two hundred colonial and Ameri- can newspapermen, particularly the statements that the proposal would result in nothing and that the bel- ligerents wero dfametrically opposed in the colonial question. His refe ences to Belgium and stern treaties, well as to Alsace-Lorraine, were also appluded. ADDITIONAL PRIZES FOR CANNED GOODS cheered New Britain Commission Announces Extra Awards for Ex B n Fair.
