Washington, oct. .30.-rAnother
noEe from the German government
reached Washington today. 1t sup
elements the last brief communica-
l9on, saying armistice terms were
awaited, by reciting In detail gov
erhimentaI changes which have TAX
elr place in Germany as evidence
that the Kaiser has been deprived OF
all power of making war and nego-
tiating peace. IS
This time the Germans do not adj
dress President Wilson personally
but send the information for the
American government apparently
recognizing that the stage of per-
sonal appeals has passed with the
transmission Of their armistice ana
peace plea to the allies.
1t reiterates that the actual pow
er and responsibility of the German
government shave been transferred
to the reichstag and describes the
progress of the necessary constitu-
tional changes:
The note probably viii be forward
ed Immediately to Paris, where the
supreme war council already is re-
ported to have : formulated terms
upon which the United States and
the allies might permit a cessation
OF hostilities.
answering Austria
AS word OF the new German move
came 1t was learned that President
Wilson was working today on q re-
ply to the last note from Vienna in
which the Austrian government ac-
cepted all points and conditions OF
the President and asked for armis-
tice and peace proposals.
Thereby, which probably will be
made public before tonight, is ex-
pected to inform the authorities at
Vienna that on the basis of accept
ance of all conditions, including ac-
tuaf independence and not mere ad-
tonomy for subject nationaHttes,
their request has. been referred to
United tSates is associated.
The arnistice program, said to-
have been prepared by the supreme:
war council, had not been reported
on earlv today by the American rep
resentafiyes. The q government,
however is known TO i favor terms
equally as drastic as those deserib-.
ed in press dispatches as % greed ups
on at Versail lless
Although off1cials here regard the
Austrian Hungarian situation as Tar
from clarified and are inclined TO
question how for the government at
Vienna dB qualified 10 speak FOR any
one the unde -standing Is that they
are to be dealt with on the theory
that as in the case of the Germans,
acceptance Of armistice terms
amounting to surrender IN the field,
VIII be the, best guarantee Of faith
ful performances of any promises.
Secretary Lansing had not rec
ce we'd early today the note report
cd to be coming from Count A;1-.
eirassy, the Austrian foreign minis.
rer, asking him TO intervene witt
President Wilson to hastcn an arr.
lsligtlce and. neace discussions. II is.
assumed that this unusual procedure
was adopted to impress upon the,
people at homo the desire Of the
government 10 bring about innedi-
ate peace. Another Communications
to the President was nos in order,
no reply having been receiver from
the first.
