THE CENTRAL POWERS.

EARLY PEACE FOR AUSTRIA.

CRYPTIC STATEMENT BY THE

PREMIER

(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)

(Received Sept. 10, 9.35 p.m.)

London, Sept. 9

The "Daily Telegraph's" Milan correspondent states that Hussarek, the Austrian Premier, at a recent conference with the Governor of the Tyrol, assured him that Austria-Hungary would soon be able to conclude an honourable peace. The Governor invited details, but Hussarek * cryptically replied that he could not say more than that great events would soon happen which would end the war.

The correspondent adds that probably it is nothing more than a niove in a peace offensive designed to delude the people of Austria-Hungary and throw dust in the Entente's, eyes. .
