 Immediately after having taking direction of the ministry of foreign affairs, and after the dispatch of the official answer to your note of Octo- Der 18, 1918, by which you were able to see that we accept all the points and principles laid down by Presl- wars, and to create league of na- tions, we have taken preparatory measures, in order that Austrians and Hungarians may be able, ac- cording to their own desire, and without being in any way hindered, to make decision as to their fu- ture organization and to rule it.
 PLEA IS PATHETIC ONE
 Since the accession to power of Emperor King Charles, his immov- able purpose has been to bring an end to the war. More than ever, this is the desire of the sovereign of all the Austro Hungarian peo pIes, who acknowledge their future destiny can only be accomplished in a pacific world, by being freed from all. disturbances. privations and sorrows of war.
 "Ths is why l address you di- rectly, Mir. Secretary of State, praying that you will have the good ness to intervene with the pres- dent of the United States in order that in the interest of humanity, as in the interest of all those who live in Austria Hungary, an imme- diate armistiee may be concluded on all fronts, and for an overture that immediate negotiations for peace will follow"

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Returns to the secretary of the senate and clerk of the house. on campaign contributions and expenditures, are coming in slowly and indicate many candidates are fail ing to comply with the law requiring their accounts to be in the mails not less than ten days before the general cleo tions. The records today showed about half of the senatorial accounts, and a large number of those from candidates for the house, are missing.
 Wide variations in campaign financ- ing are shown in the individual state ments already filed. In the southern states, where democratic nomination is equivalent to election, candidates re- ported their principal expenditures in the primaries and nothing spent since, in many instances.
 In the northern and western states, several cadidates, including Henry Ford, the democratic senatorial candi- date in Michigan; Truman H. New berry, lis republican opponent; Senator Weeks of Massachusetts. republican; and Senator Nelson of Minnesota, re- publican. have filed reports that they personally have received and spent nothing.
