OF prophecies of what the war of the
future will be. In this connection 1t is
interesting to know that both these

Washington Looks For
Early Answer to Note

Washington, Oct. 10.-An early
response to President Wilson's note
of inquiry to the German Chancellor
is expected by American officials.
While realizing that an answer to
the three pertinent questions put to
the Prince of Baden will be very diff
ficult if the original proposals of
the German government were not
sincere, officials are confident that
internal conditions in Germany and
the tremendous eXigencies Of the
military situation will force speedy
action by the Chancellor if he hopes
> to prolong the existence of his cab
met few days.
SO far as the hold of the govern
ment upon the people is concerned
conditions in Austria are even far
worse than those in Germany. This
fact is calculated to strongly affect
the German government, which is
understood to entertain grave
doubts of the strength of purpose of
the dual monarchy and to fear that
Austria, or perhaps Hungary, act
ing Independently, will follow Bull
garia in seeking an unconditional
peace. This would leave Germany to
wage the war alone, for it is a fore
gone conclusion that Turkey already
is lost to the Central Alliance.

AUSTRIAN ARMY
in ALBANIA IS
CAUGHT in TRAP
Capture of German Allies Is
Now Considered Next
Big War News
BY Associated Press

Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-The
Austrian army in Albania is in dan
ger of immediate capture. The
Allies are now after the fleeing Teu-
tons and may surround them on
their way out.
Army experts and diplomats are
keenly interested in the critical po-
ians has left the Austrians. Some
time ago Austria had three routes
by which she could have withdrawn
her forces, but two of these are
practically closed because of recent
events. She could have gone out
by Ochrida or Prizrend, through
Serbia, but with the Italians follow
ing them from the southwest and
the Serbians waiting for them on
the northwest, and the Allies domi-
mating the Adriatic, Sea some dis
tance north of Durazzo her only
hope, and that is scant, is by Sou
tari.
1t is believed that the next big
war news will be that the Allies
have taken approximately 100000
Austrians in Albania.
1t was said yesterday by persons
in position to know the facts that
the Allies are rushing men and sup
plies to Albania through Durazzo
from which they drove the Aus
trians a week ago and destroyed the
naval base there.
1t seems to be but a question of
a short time until the Austrian army
is rounded up on its way to Scutari
by theh Italians, Serbs and French,
who are after them.
