added: Ea

Repeating that Austria was striving
for peace by understanding, Baron
Burian concluded by saying that the
Central powers would refer with en-
phasis to President Wilson's state

peace by force"
f. Germany Stages "Retorm."

Many Stories in Circulation That
Germany Has Decided to

FACE CRAVE PROBLEM
German People May Arise and Over

80 W. cate, Thus Removing
IL. Barrier to Peace.

- Amsterdam, Oct. 16.-Emperor
William has issued a decree say
Ing that martial law In Germany
can only be administered by an
agreement between the civil and
military authorities, according to
q report received here.
London, Oct. 6.-1he Official
Press Bureau Is officially informed
that tho reports published to the
effect that Germany has eapitu-
lated have no foundation in fact.
Washington, Oct. Is. - Diplomats
here are prepared for any sort of news
from Berlin. Startling dispatches
came from neutral capitals regarding
a sudden and complete capitulation of
Germany to President Wilson's peace
terms. The diplomats discounted
these reports, however. r.
The situation in Washington Is
this: There is possibility, not to be
denied, of course, that the German
people might arise and dethrone the
kaiser, or he might abdicate and thus
the Hohenzollern bar to complete &C.
ceptance of the Allied terms as out
lined by the President might be re-
moved. But that is only possibility
and one far removed when the sheep
psychology of the German people is
considered.
Revolution Still Verboten.
The leaven of revolution, which 1t is
believed here the Presidents note may
have instilled in the German public,
will work more slowly, conservative
observers and supporters of the Viii.
sonian diplomacy believe. It must not
be forgotten that revolution in Ger
many is verboten.
The news reports, however, were
undoubtedly of more or less signifi-
canoe. They may have originated
through any number of sources-an
enthusiastic peace-seeking German
newspaper, defying the all-powerful
military censor, for instance. Or they
may have been an inspired report
directed by the ever-working propa.
ganda department of the German gov
eminent. Or they may have had some
basis of fact. Time only will tell.
In the meantime, America and tho
Allies are going on with the war. The
President has put 1t up to the German
people and the longer they bow to the
mandate Of the kaiser the thinner
their fortune becomes: the more in.
evitable becomes defeat.
It IL not to be overlooked, also, that
the rumor factories got busy at the
very moment the German armies were
ID On AL IL

step, however, that W as instigated by
the armies of Field Marshal Foch in
stead of under a Hindenburg-d dictated

MONEY RATES
TEND TO FALL
Steel, Oils, Coppers, and
Rails Give Strength to
=. Market.
BY BROADAN WALL

New York. September 4.-When
stocks closed today after a mixed ses-
sion in which strength in the oils, cop
pers and tobacco shares predominated
the street was specializing on some
probable action tomorrow by the
money committee.
Three prominent members of the lat
ter conferred with Governor Strong OF
the reserve bank after the market s
close, but no information was forth
coming. Although the bulk Of call
loans were made at the per cent re-
newal rate, small amounts were loaned
as low as per cent. Can funds ap-
peared to be moro plentiful than for
some days past, with banks for the
first time in weeks informing brokers
that moderate amounts on call were
available.
Opening prices today were high for
the day in many cases, principally in
Steel. Baldwin. Distillers and some OF
the rails. Steel there was reported
considerable liquidation by investors
who have held the stock for months,
while every attempt at a rally was
short-lived.
Interest in the rails Jagged An
nouncement of the contract is expect
ed this week as Director General Nc
Adoo Is known to have approved 1t
and given it over to the Attorney
General. New Haven was active but
was off half a point after opening at
45.
While commission house opinion as
to the markets course is mixed, the
wonderfully good war news notwith-
standing, the following view by one
banker was well regarded:
Mondays market, I believe, ad-
vanCed too fast, besides rejecting a
volume of short covering. Apparent
ly price movements neglect the pres
enCe of ticklish money situation and
the introduction of a stupendous tax
bill in Congress"
With the short interest compare
lively small and the aforementioned
factors omnipresent, opinion in many
quarters forecasts duller sessions with
irregular price movements.

HOUSE TURNS DOWN
WILSON'S REQUEST
Refuses to Strike Objectionable
Clause from Water-Power Bill.

Despite direct appeal from the
President, the House yesterday re-
fused TO strike from the water-power
bill provision which would compel
full payment Of the total met invest
ment" in any OF the power projects
before these projects could be taken
over by the government
The vote on the amendment offered
by Representative Ferris, of Oklaho-
ma in accordance with the Presidents s
wishes was taken in committee OF
the whole, the amendment being re-
jected by the vote of Il TO 90. All but
eleven of those voting against the
amendment were Republicans.
Mr.. Ferris declines to accept this
vote as conclusive and will make an
effort to have the amendment adopted
when the bill comes before the House.
The met investment recapture
clause" provides that as a condition
precedent to the taking over of any
power project by the government
there must be paid the actual, legiti-
mate cost OF the project to the water
power developers. Mr.. Ferris con-
tends that this means having Con-
gress commit fifty years in advance
the Federal government TO pay, not
what the property is actually worth
at the time OF retakinC, but what the
water power developers actually paid
at the beginning Of the license period
plus the extensions, imprOvements,
etc"
The President in his letter to Chair
man Sims opposing this provision Of
the bill protested that It would tie
the hands OF the government against
any future policy OF government
ownership Of the power projects.
