Dr von Kuehimann again went over

"But there dose not exiat any con-

Dr. von Kuehlmann announced that
within the next few days a confer-

where the queatons that had areen
between the quadruple alliance and
"the Caucaatain peopie" would find a
ration which existed in the case of
Count Csernin, and which contributed
to the final settiement and eolation
of all questions, also exists in the cast
of Baron Burlan

Baron Burtan’s services," Dr. von
Kuehlmann went on, "that an inter-

that a final decislon had not yet been
