AUSTRIA WAS OBLIGED
 TO ACCEPT THE TERMS

Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 29.-A semi-official note issued at Vienna today on Austria's reply to Presi- dent Wilson, says:
 Austria was obliged to conform to the methods of President Wilson, who had sunccessively replied to three members of the triple alliance, and act apart from her allies.
 The monarchy. which has formally adopted President Wilson's line of action, shares his opinion, as was shown by the emperor's manifesto to the peoples, which. in proclaiming the liberalization of the monarchy, exceeded President Wilson's program.
 However, the complete re-organ- izat;on of Austria can only be carried out after an armistice.
 'If Austria-Hungary has declared herself ready to enter into negotia- tions for an armistice and for peace without awaiting the result of ne- gotiations with other states. that does not necessarily an offer of sep arate peace.
 Ut means that she is ready to ac- ceLt separately in the interests oi the re-establishment of peace"

 Shabby Trick is Played by the Americans
51 Germans Taken Prisoner Through Promises of To-
 bacco and Bread.

WithNthe,. American Forces North west of Verdun, Sunday, Oct. 27 (By The Associated Press. Americans now count among their prisoners 51 members of the Second German Land. wehr, who are the most sadly disillns- toned men from the German empires army.
 They still are convinced that they were played shabby trick in being taken prisoner, though they arc quickly becoming reconciled to thei. lot by their generous rations of food and tobacco.
 The Germans for several days had been coming unarmed out of their trenches creeping forward to a point midway between the two lines where they had been given bread and tobac- co by the Americans.
 Their donors, they told an Ameri- can intelligence officer today, wore crosses on their shoulders.
 The other day when they came ov- CT they were told that the next time each man would receive five sacks of tobacco isntead of one sack.
 The opportunity was too good to bc lost and instead of groups of three four and five, as heretofore, 51 men came in group for the tobacco and food.
 The Germans were hospitably re. ceived at the customary rendezvous split into small groups and invited tc come to another spot where the dis. tribution would take place. That spot proved to be the intelli' gence office of the American division where the Landwehrs were informed that they were prisoners.
 The Germans indignantly demanded to be sent back to their lines immed' lately together with their rations o1 five sacks of tobacco and bread. For 9 long time they could net be induced to say why they had beer basely treated, but they gre eduall, came to renounce their demand that they be returned, especially when they saw the treatment accorded hy the American soldiers to them and to tht other prisoners.
 The Landwehrs will receive theil ! extra rations as per promise.

BIG GUNS 0f THE
 AMERICANS CRACK
 DOWN ON RAILWAY
Also Shell Territory Around Other Important Com
 municating aRilways.

With the American Army Northwest of verdun, Oct. 29 (S p. m.)-The American big guns cracked down on the main line of the railroad in the region of Conflans today and also shelled a large enemy troop cOncen- tration in the neighborhood of Man giennes
 The Conflans line is important be- cause it extends from Germany's principal communicating line to Metz. Firing in the direction of Conf1ans continued intermittently through the day
 When a troop concentration was re- ported in the direction of Bois De IIVilliers and Mangien, the guns were turned in that direction, throwing Iprojectiles weighing approximately 1900 pounds each. At intervals also the big guns in-
 side the American lines shelled the territory around Spincourt and Dom- ary- Baroncourt. both important rail
 road functions. American aviators successfully
 bombed two points today where Ger
 man troops were being assembled. In the morning squadron o1
 bombers, accompanied protecting ma chones, dropped projectiles on Mon- tigny.
 The troops scattered and an am
 munition dump was set on fire, the ; railroad yards were also damaged. In the afternoon about fifty bomb.
 CTS attacked Donvilliers, where other troops were concentrating. Observers reported a number o1
 hits
 About forty pursuit planes accom-
 panied the bombers and engaged 1T
 many combats. Nine German machines were brought down.

IS YET STRONG.
Head of Italian Bureau Declares Aus tria's Army Is as Strong Now
 As It Ever Was.

As It Ever Was.
 New York, Oct. 29.-Analysis of the Austrian peace, note discloses "a stud jed attempt, byaemphasizing 'negotia- tions' and conference to force the present situation back to the status of last January whish is now obsolete declared Dr. Felice Ferrero. director of the Italian Bureau of Public h. formation, in this city in statement tonight.
 Asserting Austrias armies today are strong, we'll organized military force with high morale, he declared that the present Italian drive is not directed against a weakened enemy, but against force superior in num- bers and capable of hard fighting and bitter resistance"
 "The internal disturbance and poli- tical disorder of the dual monarchy must not be interpreted as meaning a greatly weakened and disorganized military force opposing the Italian armies," he said.
 "Such an impression is entirely unjustified and will only do harm if it leads the American public to expect disorganized and disastrous retreat of the Austrian forces"

Vienna Newspaper Declares Austria Hungary and Germany to Capit-

Paris, Oct. 29 (Havas.)-The exc cutive committee of the German par ties in Austria has formed a provis- ional government, according to a dis patch from Vienna and has decided to send a separate note to President Wilson.
 The Arbeiter Zeitung of Vienna de. clares that Germany and Austria Hungary, will capitulate without de- lay.
 Extremely important decisions were taken at the meeting of the crown council held under the presidency o1 Emperor William at Berlin on Satur. day, says a dispatch from Zurich to Le Journal. The greatest agitation prevails ir the Reichstag where groups of de puties, the message adds, are sitting continuously.
 Considerable nervousness, it is said, prevails in German military cir cles as result of the decisions reach. ed at the crown council. The German government, is is declared may re' sort to extreme measures.

Politicians
 Forget Duty
 as Americans
Wilson Trying to Win War and Republicans Trying lp
 to Control Congress. ,:s :o

Providence, R. l., Oct 29.-Secres
 tary of the Navy Daniels, in an ad-
 dress here tonight urging the return of Democratic congress in the elec- tions next Tuesday, said Republican politicians in their desire to get con- trol of the senate and house have for gotten their duty as Americans. Never during the prosecution of a , war, said MT. Daniels, have the peO- pie denied to their president the CO., operation and aid of congress in harmony with the policy to which the Republic is solemnly committed and never until this year was s'the peck sniffian cry" raised by any party:
 You must elect Republican con- gross to uphold the hands of Dem ocratic president
 During the months that the presi- dent and leaders of his party have been busy with policies to win the war;" continued the secretary. Republican politicians and reaction |ary would-be profteers have been thinking of nothing but capturing congress.
 Such would-be profiteers have caal- ed upon their fellow reacti0naries to put up more money to carry congress this year than we spent in 1918.' why They try to camoufage the peo- pie by saying they do not like tho brand of notes coming from Wilson's typewriter. "No more does the Kaiser or the junkers.
 But Great Britain. France, Italy, and all democratic nations in Europe endorse them and make them their own.
 Let the people know the secret of the big money. the reactionists are putting up to elect Republican con- |gress.
 These men from plunder- -bund arc mot thinking about patriotism but |pay-triotism.

Different Treatment Proposed.

In some quarters, however, there was a disposition to accord different treatment to the Austrian plea be- cause of the complex problems aris- ing from the note conditions that ap- ply have developed in the dual mon- archy since the President replied to Austria's original request for an i'm mediate cessation of hostilities.
 The official text of the Austrian note was delivered to Secretary Lan- sing today by the Swedish minister soon after the regular Tuesday meet ing of the cabinet at which it was understood the unofficial version of the note as transmitted by the Asso- ciated Press from Basel, Switzerland, was given consideration
 If any definite conclusion was reach ed, the fact was not revealed, officials stating that they could not indicate what disposition would be made of the note in advance of a careful study of the official version.
 Those adhering to the opinion that different treatment should be accord ed to the Austrian request than was given the plea of the German govern ment pointed to cable dispatches to- day reporting the establishment of the independent state of Hungary; of the recognition by that state of the independence of CZecho-Slovak and Juso-Slav provinces and also of Ger man. Austria as suggesting the intro duction of the complex factors into the problem of settling with the dual empire.
 A Hurry.Up For Peace.
 Even if each of the many nationali- ties that make up that empire be- comes independent before peace Is arranged, it was said that they still must bear their individual shares of the responsibility for the acts com mitted by the empire.
 Logically each might have to sue for a separate peace.
 Stick to Main Object.
 However, it is believed that the American government will not be dt- verted from the pursuit of it's main object by the consideration of these individual uprisings in Austria-H Hun gary.
 It probably will follow consistent ly the course pursued in dealing with Germany and insist on treating first the proposition for an armistice which it characterizes as purely military question, leaing to the final peace conference the adjustment to independent existence of the various oppressed nationalities> in Austria Hungary
 If that course is followed, then not only the remnant of the dual empire over which emperor Charles still holds sway, but the separatist state of Hungary and even Bohemia and the Jugo-Slavs section must accept the terms to be laid down by the supreme ]. Continued on page fives

HEADS SOUTHERN DEPARTMENT OF
 CAMP ARMIES

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 29.-Col- onel William T. Johnson, adjutant general of the Southern Department, has, according to advices receiver at department headquarters today, been named chief of staff of the Southern Department in which capacity he has been acting since last July.
 Prior to his coming to Fort Sam Houston Colonel Johnson was head of the reserve division of the-Adiutant' s Generals Department in Washington and it was in this department that the idea of the first officers training camps was originated.
