CANCEL CONTRACTS
FOR TROOP SHIPS
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O-Contracts
for construction of number Of troop
ships at cost of $60,O00,000 by the
Bethlehem Union Ship Yards at Ala
media, Cal, have been cancelled by
the shipping board.
Shipping board officials let 1t be
known today that the action was TAX
en- three weeks ago. 1t is said to have
been found that construction of addi-
tional ships designed particularly to
bring troops home from Europe after
the war, was unnecessary, because
plans have been perfected for convert
ing large steel freighters into tempo
rary transports.
The board also desires to have its
present program completed at the end
of 1919, and the yards at Alameda
would not have been able to turn out
the transports within that time.
1t was stated today that the board
is making no contracts at this time
that cannot be completed by the end
of 1919. This, however does not
mean ending of ship construction then,
for contracts will be awarded during
1919 for construction to run through
1920.

BELIEVE AUSTRIA DESPERATE.
PARIS, Oct 3O.--The second note of
Count julius Andrassy. the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, to Presi-
dent Wilson is interpreted as evidence
that Austria is in desperate plinght
and has exhausted her powers of re-
sistance.
"The Danubian monarchy seeks an
issue all the more promptly because
it knows of the anger aroused across
the Rhine by the detection and the de-
sire of vengeance which inspires the
Berlin cabinet" says the Petit Pari-
sien and other newspapers.

1T is essential that entente troops

gions the inhabitants of which ex-
pect from us the fulfillment of solemn
promises. 1t is also essential that In
the event of Germany not accepting
our conditions for an armistice, the
territory of the monarchy shall not
constitute an obstacle to our military
operations" says the Matin.
Lieut.. Col. De Thomason, in the
Petit Journal, says:
Proposals for an armistice, pre-
sented separately by Germany and
Austra-Hungary place the allied gov
ernments in the presence of a delicate
problem. We must decide to which OF
the two powers we shall first state our
conditions. The solution which is
adopted will evidently not modify the
issue of the war, but may have the
effect of lengthening hostilities.'

WAR COUNCIL news
STRICTLY censored

PARIS, Oct. 30-The meagerness of
news during this important period in
Paris is due to the strictness of the
censorship.
The foregoing relates to the pro-
ceedings of the United States govern
ment and it's representatives at the
interallied council at which the terms
of the armistice to be submitted to
Germany are being formulated.
In addition to the strict censorship,
dispatches are being held up on ac-
count of the congestion of the cable
by the change of communications be-
tween the United States government
and the representatives of the inter
