Austria Plans to
Ask President for
More Peace Details

BASLE, Oct. 22.-Oficial comment
N Vienna on President Wilson's an
swer to the Austrian note expresses q
complaint that it does not answer the
precise question put forward, and that
1t Is now necessary to again ask the
Presidents attitude toward an armis-
ice and the reestablishment of peace,
according to advces received from the
Austrian capital.
1t is added that officials say there is
d contradiction in the reasons given by
President Wilson in justiting his re-
'usal to enter into peace negotiations
and his answer to Baron Burian on
september Is.
President Wilson's reply to the Aus
trlan peace proposals in no way justi-
res the conclusion that the exchange
d views which has been begun is to be
interrupted, according to Baron Won
Hussarek, Austrian Premier, speaking
before the House of Lords yesterday,
according TO Vienna adyices received
here.
I'VE shall continue all the more our
efforts toward peace" he said. Owe
shall answer the note after carefully
examining its contents. We hope that
the peace discussions, notwithstanding
difficulties will deliver the world in the
near future from the unspeakable mis-
cry Of war

must assent before peace can be dis
cussed.
The plain meaning of the Presi-
dents answer is tnnt if Germany is
not ready to lay down her arms then
'he war which the civilized world is
Waglng against her must continue until
shc is forced to lay them down. Tho
acceptance of these terms of surrender

Jugo-Slaus Demand
Olun Sovereign, and
Democratic State

BASLE, Switzerland, Oct. 23.-The
Central Executive Committee elected
en- October by the National Council
OF Slovencs. Croatians and SerbiaAs at
Agram has issued statement that
the committee will at once assume the
political direction of those nationali-
ties and declaring for the creation Of
a sovereign Jugo Slav state on demo-
cratic basis.
The following principles have been
enunciatcd by the committees:
To bring about reunion Of all the
Slovenes, Croatians and Serbians on a
racial basis without reference to their
present political frontiers.
To create a sovereign state on a
democratic basis.
To see that the nationalities repre-
sented by the council have a delegate
at the peace conference.
The committee rejects the plan con-
tanned in the imperial manifesto for
the settlement Of nationalistic prob
lens in Austria. 1t will guarantee the
tree development of all national ma
jorities which may form part of the
sta.e organized by it. Neighboring
states will be assured free access to
the sea, provided they make no at
tempts on the constitutional rights of
the state and on its territorial in
tegrity.
The committee finally urges concord
among all the nationalities in order
TO create a great national state.

She aFairs OF the Germanic people in

announcing the creation of the Ger

Karl Seitz, leader OF the German

70 bring about the autonomy of the
Germans in Austria and to establish

Of peace" said Herr Seitz in taking
me presidency. "We must do all pos
sihle to lessen the misery Of the Ger
Austrian people. The new Ger
man-Austria, for which we will lay the
4oundation, Will be constituted in con-
formity with the free will expressed
rv the German Austrian people"
DEPUTY Waldner, in opening the as
semb.v, announced that he had been
commissioned by the German Deputies
IN the Austrian Reichstrat to convoke
me assembly as the representative
assembly of the German-Austrians
The organization would have the right
~ free speech and would proclaim
solemnly an independent political state
Tor German-Austria.
There has been evidence for some
elne that the German people in Aus
.rsa. distrusting the wavering policy
Of the Austro- Hungarian Empire and
earring it's dissolution, or that it might
draw away from Germany, were de-
.irous of insuring their own close
unity with tine German Empire.
The German population in Austria
forms the centre of Austrian society
and is the largest of the many eth
meal elements in the kingdom. The
census OF 1910 gave the German speak
ing population as 9,950,0O0 out of a
total of 28,325, 600.

and then came back to the surface.
One of the garbies was telling me

struck bottom. / do not know how
many fathoms down it was, but 1t was

on the surface they sighted smoke,

first shot missed, but after that they
