sll future rights to the crowns of Prus-
sia and Germany and has released all

IT is understood here that William
Hohenzollern has been awaiting the

where. Germans in his suite believe

delighted. One of Herr Hohenzollern' s
servants is reported to have said that

AUSTRIA ITSELF

Wilson Will Plan Reorgapiza-

swer to 1917 Peace Move.
GRY ASSnciat ted PreSSl

BERNIE, Wednesday, Nov 81
Austria-Hrngary will itself, be fl-
ture league of nations, and | would
not be surprised to see the organiza-
tion of this league planned by Presi-
dent Wilson" declared Councillor Ju-
Illus Meinl, probably the wealthiest
man in Austria, in discussing the
present and future of the dual mon
archy today
DR.. Meinl came to Berne as the
representative of Prof Heinrich Lam
masch, former Austria premier. So
sure is he that Austria-Hungary al
ways will remain a federation of
states more or less closely interknit
that he criticised President Wilson,
although he is utterly in sympathy
with him-for what probably was an
unintentional wording of his declara-
ton that peoples must have the right
of self-goyernment.
This phl ase, when translated, he
said, tended to stir up the people Of
Austria Hungary and make them res
tive under authority. He continued:
what President Wilson might have
said, and what he doubtless meant,
was that Austro-Hungarian peoples
should have the right of regenerating
and rebuilding the empire on a basis
perfect political independence of SOW
ereignty between the various states,
but with federal economic unity some
what on the lines followed in the es-
tablishment of the United States"
TELL OF PEACE OFFER.
COPENHAGEN, Friday, Nov. 20
People of prominence in Vienna, who
are in touch with the foreign depart
ment there, assert that in 1917, when
Count Czeruin, then Austro-Hunga-
rian foreign minister, sought, by EN-
peror Charles order, to induce EN-
peror William to conclude peace, he
was referred to supreme headquar-
ters.
When Count Czernin pointed out
that Austria was exhaused and might
be compelled to make separate
peace, General Ludendorff, striking
the table exclaimed:
"The same day that Austria con-
cludes a separate peace, it will re-
ceive a declaration of war from Ger
many. That will be our only answer
to such a breach"
Count CZernin thereupon returned
to Vienna and told the emperor that
nothing could be done as Austria S
fate was indissolubly knitted with
that of Germany.

early today, losing a good part Of
Saturdays recovery under liquidation
and local pressure. The failure of
Liverpool to fully meet Saturdays
local advance was partly responsible
for the opening decline of II to 10
points, while selling was also encour-
aged by. better southwestern weather
prospects and sentiment was unset
tied by reports from Washington
that the president had asked blanket
authority to fix prices when deemed
necessary upon all commodities es
sential to the conduct of the war.
There was enough trade buying to
steady the market at times, but every
bulge met increased offerings and
there was another furry of liquida-
ton toward midday which sent March

CORN is BEARISH

Chicago, Jan. 22.-Big receipts of
corn here had a bearish influence to-
day, especially as a large part of
the total was definitely known to
have come from a clean up of con-

ern lines. Initial prices which rang
ed from unchanged figures to 100
lac lower with March 1.25 1-8 and
May 1.24 to. 1-8. were followed by a
sag all around.
Continued traffic difficulties east
formed a depressing factor in the
oats market. Provisions averaged
slightly higher as a result of scat
