From Talks
London, Jan. 14.
The main decision taken at this afternoon's open- ing meeting of the special deputies of the Big Four Foreign Ministers, charged with prepar-" ing the German and Austrian peace settle- ments, was that the first meeting on Germany is to take place at 10.30 a.m. tomorrow, and the first meeting on Austria at 10.30 on Thursday. Sir William Strang said that so far no relevant documents had been received by the special deputies for Austria. It is assumed that a formal note from the Austrian Government

After much discussion the conference finally agreed to a proposal from Sir William Strang that the meetings of the special deputies for Germany and Austria due tomorrow and on Thursday should fix thei: own plan of work.
