AMSTERDAM, Sept. "a dispatch to
the "Weser ZeitIng" from Budapest
says Austrian and Hungarian delega-
tions will meet in Vienna in November
to discuss internal and foreign politics
and the question of peace. Farreach-
ing decisions probably will be taken, it
is stated. Two Hungarian newspapers,
the "Az Est" and the, Magyar orizag,"
fully agree with the views expressed in
President Wilson's reply to Pope Bene-
diets peace proposals, to the great dis
gust of the "Vossische Zeitung," of
Berlin, which asserts they take view
which is almost incomprehensible.
The az Est" says:
president Wilson's reply is so clear
that every true friend OF peace, every
patriot, can indorse it. America ad-
heres in this note without reserve to
the policy OF peace without annexa-
tions, which is most important for
Hungary"
Tho Magyar Orizag,' organ Of the
Independence party, says:
"All real pacifists must be grateful
TO Mr.. Wilson. lie who from the
standpoint of peace condemns Mr.. vii
sons note has sold his soul to the war
devil and does not wish peace. From
the Hungarian viewpoint. therefore. he
is the enemy of peace"
Pacifists Grateful
The National Liberal "Schwaebische
Nerkur," OF Stuttgart. commenting on
the Wilson note TO the Pope, says:
From all experience heretofore it
must be assumed that everything posi-
BILE will be done 20 keep the American
people enmesned in a web of error and
prejudice, but if it is possible to break
the spell IL will be through such drastic
revelations rs the Soukhomlinof case.
| But when the calumny collapses, with
which President Wilson introduces his
note, which, after all. does not end in
the rejection of the Pope's proposals,
! then at least the way will be open for
| the development Of the peace idea
within the scope OF the note itself.
and collapse must come when the
! full significance is realized OF the fact
that the German Emperor would have
prevented the war had not the Russian
war party succeeded in thwarting his
noble purpose
Use Note to Aid Loan
President Wilson's reply 70 the Pope
is being turned to account in Germany
for propaganda purposes in connection
! with TIE seventh war loan, announced
for mid-Scptember. Money-raising ef-

dented scale, especially in the rural
districts and in connection with eccle-
siastical property and other trustee
funds.

Wilson Called Dictator
The Emperor answered similar

fdence that the attempts to SOW dis
cord will end in failure. In the mean

Socialist Organ Attacked
"Vorwaerts" has fallen foul OF its
own party organ, the Socialistic Inter
rationale Korrespondenz,' over its
moderate tone regarding President Will
son. This paper says that "Vorwserts'
stands alone on President Wilson's side
and that no other organ OF German
democracy stands with il.
The "Neue Badische Landeszeitung,"
moderate organ which heretofore has
been for compromise, is quoted as say
ing:
EVEN if we carry through democrsti-
zation and give President Wilson all
the guarantees he asks. it would not
avail, because Mr.. Wilson is bent on
peace Of the mailed fist and aims at
making our people the slaves Of for
eign nations"
