worked out.
ut address," says the note, "also
to the same point Of view contained
in the last note, upon the rights of
the Austro- Hungarian peoples, es-
pecially those Of the Czecho-Slovaks
and the Jugo-Slavs."
Language Causes Suspicion
This language is not viewed with
favor by the State Department,
where belief is very firmly ground
ed, it may be said, that Austria is
making a strong effort to prevent
either Bohemia or the Jugo-Slavs
from passing from beneath the SOW
ereignty of the Hapsburgs.
She apparently is willing to grant
both the Jugo-Slavs and the Czecho-
Slovaks a certain measure of au-
tonomy-how much cannot be ascer-
tanned, but she just as apparently
has no real thought of granting them
independence.
SO that by very carefully written
language, in the opinion of officials,
Austria has apparently accepted the
Presidents peace conditions, even as
relating to the Czecho-S -Slovaks and
Jugo-Slavs, and yet is actually plan
ming to keep both Of those hitherto
subject peoples under her dominion.
1T may even be that Austria is
willing to grant the subject peoples
more than autonomy, and to raise
these two countries at least to the
rank and on an equality with the
kingdoms of Austria and Hungary
Themselves" said one official to-
night. "Of course, the Presidents
words do not absolutely inhibit that
course Of action as preliminary to
peace, but there is no doubt that his
clear meaning was that the Czecho-
Slovaks, at least. should be given
absolute independence.
There is every indication, not only
in the phraseology of the note, but
from other directions, that Austria
is planning to avoid an absolute
separation from those peoples, so as
to maintain the empire as a first
class power instead of a state that
has been whitfield down to third rate
dimensions.'
The same official expressed the
view that Austria would much pre-
fer to deal with the Czecho-Slovaks
and the Jugo-Slavs by negotiation
now, rather than leave the deter
mination Of this question to the
peace table. Therefore, he predicted
that there would soon be move by
Austria, if, indeed, one were not al
ready under way, to sound out the |
epreseneatives of these two points,
with view to determining the least
that would satisfy them.

Won Hindenburg to
Follow Ludendorf, ,
Says German Paper
Peoples Imagination Is
Stirred by Overthrow of
Empires Idol

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 2S (By The AS
sociatcd Press) ).-Nothing except the
abdication Of the German Emperor OF
the retirement of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg could have struck the Ger
man public's imagination more force
fully than the resignation of the pop
ular idol in Gasm.ny, General Luden-
dortf.
The question on all sides is whether
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg will fol-
low the footsteps Of Ludendortf. The
"Rhenish Westph;ili Zeitung," Of
Essen, claims to know that he will be
the next sacrifice to the new regime
The Essen "Allgemeine Zeitung"
mentions General Won Lossberg, chief
Of staff Of the Sixth Army, as the
successor to Ludendorff. General Won
Lossberg is credited with being the in
VentOr of the movable defence sys-
tenn"
Georg Bernhard, writing in the Ber-
lin "Vossische Zeitung," while acclaim
ing LudendOrff as one of the saviors
of the Fatherland from "enemy devas-
tation,' says the fact that he conceived
himself omniscient and omnipotent
brought about his doom.
AS "Vorwaerts," of Berlin, the Ger
man Socialist organ, puts it, the resig-
nation of Ludendortf means that the
forth is divested of political influence.
Bound to Happen
"Norwaerts," which has no regret
for the departing army leader, says:

French Desire Wilson
Bound by Allied Agree

arate Peace
Question Is Under
Amusement Here
Germany Believed To Be
Playing on Fact We Have
Not Signed
BY hampton Hunt
Especial Cable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1918. New York Tnhune Inc)
PARIS, Oct. 28.-The whole question
of an armstice has passed out of the
hands Of President Wilson, and now,
for all practical purposes, rests with
Foch, so far as Germany's armies are
concerned, and with Beatty as regards
the enemy's feet. Ii they advise and
the Allied governments consent to a
cessation of hostilities Germany knows
in advance that the terms can only be
the disarmament Of her army and the
dismantling of her feet to such an ex-
tent that it will be impossible for her
to resume fighting.
In other words, Germany has the
choice Of only two ways Of bringing the
war to an end. Either she must capitu-
late Internationally forthwith or she
may prolong the war for a few weeks
or months with the certainty that
sooner or later she will be compelled
to accept the same terms of uncondi-
tional capitulation.
Wilson's reply to the German note is
doubly satisfactory to the French view
point, inasmuch as it has removed all
possibility of any further misunder-
standing of the Presidents personal at
titude
In the opinion of the French it has
now become indispensable as the next
immediate step toward diplomatic unity
that America should add her signature
to the pact of London, and thus bring
herself into alignment with France,
Great Britain. Italy, Belgium and
Japan. Under the pact Of London,
which was signed before America came
the Central Empires pledged them
selves not to sign a separate peace.
Only Written Bonds Of Allies
This document, curiously enough, is
the only diplomatic bond, technically
speaking, which unites the nations
known as the Allies, between whom
with the exception of that between
Britain and Japan. there are no formal
treaties of alliance. Until America also
subscribes to this pact community dip
lomatic action. although not impossible,
will be difficult
Moreover, the addition Of the signature
of the United States would render vain
any further efforts of Germany to en-
emphasize the fact of Americas $50
lated position, automatically speaking,
among the nations who have combined
in holy crusade to stamp out the
virus Of mlitarism from the world.
| have reason to believe that this
question already has been under careful
consideration at Washington and that
important developments may be ex-
pected to occur within the next few
days which will prove most satisfactory
to opinion both here and in London.
