text is said to be identical with that

Basel, Switzerland. yesterday.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-Turkey has In
dependly presented peace proposals to
the entente nations, according to re-
port from Constantinople forwarded by
the correspondent at Copenhagen OF
the Exchange Telegraph company. The
negotiations are expected to end soon,
it added.

The statement Of the Austrian gov

of view expressed by President VIII
son In his last communication upon
the rights Of the peoples Of the dual
monarchy, and Of the Czecho Slovaks
and Jugo-Slavs in particular-one OF
the greatest concessions that Austria
Hungary could make-was considered
as rejecting the chaotic conditions in

said, doubtless realizes that conditions

In regard to this Austrian assertion
It was pointed out that nothing is sai6.
about guaranteeing the complete indie

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS ON
THE PIAvE, Monday. Oct. es.-Fif-
ten thousand prisoners had been tax
en- by the British, Italians and French
up to late today in the advance across
the Piave which for the third time In
one year is the scene Of a desperate
battle. This time, however. the tables
are turned against the Austrians, who
are steadily being pressed back from
the eastern bank of the river.
The battle now has been going on
for FIVE days and has been marked by
the desperate resistance OF the Aus
trians. They have directed their ar
tillery fire against pontoon bridges
thrown across the Piave and their
bombing airplanes also have caused
trouble for the allies. The allies not
only have had to battle against the
swift river current. but also to con-
tend with the renewal of the pontoons
and footbridges damaged by the Aus
trians.
Once across the river the allies have
had to overcome strong Austrian
trench positions and machine gun
posts.
Troops in Good Spirits.
Austrian prisoners declare that they
know nothing of the political situa-
tion at home and the efforts of their
government to arrange an armistce.
The Austrian army postoffice is said
to have stopped the delivery of mail
some time ago.
Although facing a heavy cannonade
and strong machine gun fire, the al
lied troops succeeded in effecting a
crossing of the Piave. The British,
Italian and French soldiers are in the
best of spirits and eager to continue
the advance.
All the roads leading to the noun
tains or the Piave are crowded with
heavy masses of troops, guns and
other war material proceeding to the
front In orderly fashion. Whenever a
staff automobile rushes by at sixty
miles an hour, it is common joke
among the soldiers to exclaim: They
are trying to beat us to Vienna!"
