Victory.

BASEL. Monday. Sept s.-President
Wilson's programme as = basis for
peace negotiations IL indorsed by
Count Michael Karoiyi. President OF
the Hungarian ndepe ndent party. A
despatch from Budapest quoting an
open letter written by Count karolyi
to his electors. to whom he recon-
mends an early peace. says;
"a decisive military victory. de-
spite It's successes, Is dream
which 1t Is useless to pursue. The
prime condition OF peace negotiations
is the characterization of nations and
the abandonment Of imperiallstic
theories. A second condition Is that
we should not become slaves to the
idea OF a middle Europe. either mill
tary. economically or politically. and
that we should not strengthen our
alliance with Germany. which would
form the first step toward the reaIi-
Zation of this central Europe.
we ought TO accept as basis for
negotiations President Wilson's pro-
gramme."

GERMANS D|SBAND
SEVEN DIVISIONS
FOR LACK OF MEN
Only Sixteen Divisions Out of
t95 Have Not Been in
Heavy Fighting.

WASHINGTON. sept. io--New cvi-
dence Of the shortage of manpower in
the German Army has reached wash
ington from an authoritative source,
It was learned to-day. showing that
seven enemy divisions on the western
front had been disbanded entirely for
lack OF men.
There are now only ioj German dlW-
sions on the entire front. according to
these reports. and OF these there are
only sixteen that have not been en-
gaged in heavy fighting OF the pres
ent year In at least eight divisions
the battalion formation has been re-
duced to three companies from four,
which means reduction Of one
fourth in the fighting strength Of
these divisions. The report adds that
the trench strength OF the German
Army Is now entirely inadequate.
These reports throw light upon the
underlying reasons for the great Ger
man withdrawal and complete aban-
donment of the drive which was
started last March. II was vltally
necessary that the enemy shorten his
lines to conserve his troops by
withdrawal to the Hindenburg line he
has reduced the length Of his front
between Ypres and Rheims by about
sixty miles.
