AUSTRIA'S PEACE TERMS.
Will Accept Any Proposal Leaving
Monarchy Intact.

BERN, Switzerland. April 16, via
Paris. April 17.-Peace and spring wealth
er are what the Austrian and Hungarian
people most desire. During a long stay
in Vienna, whence the Associated Press
correspondent has just come, there was
observed every indication that the gov
eminent and the people are willing to ac-
cept any peace proposal leaving Austro-
Hungarian territory intact and making
no claims for war indemnity.
By the same token there appears to be
no doubt that the monarchy will continue
fighting unless these minimum conditions
are met. While the public is extremely
weary of the war. its mind is made up to
persist in the struggle to the end rather
than accept humilating terms.

STATE LOSES BIG TAX.
New York Surrogate Rules Hetty
Green Estate Is Not Liable.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Although
Mrs. Hetty Green spent most of her
time in New York city. she had no
permanent home here. and for this
reason the state of New York cannot
levy a transfer tax of 100000 or
more upon her great estate. This is the
decision of the New York surrogate.
The court supports the contention of
Mrs. Green's heirs that at the time of
her death, on July 8, 1916, she was
resident of Bellows Falls, VT.
Mrs Green was born in Bellows Falls
and spent her summers there during the
later part of her life. Vermont, which
has no inheritance tax law, will receive
from the Green estate. unless the sur
roeate's decision is upset by the higher
courts, an administration fee of $4,000.
In announcing his decision Surrogate
Fowler urges the adoption of a federal
law to determine the conflicting claims
of inheritance tax collectors of various
states.
