Children, I'm your infancy I pro-

you and given you opportunities such
as the children of no other family on
earth have enjoyed; the Inheritance
that came from my Fathers TO me i
have preserved and added to and
made greater that II might pass on
to you a richer blessing than / my

AUSTRIA WILLING
 ID TALK PEACE ASKS IMMEDIATE NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE AND AN
 ARMISTicE.
AUSTRIA TELLS OF REFORMS
Washington Officials Show An lnten- tion To Resist Apparent intent of Beth German and Austrian
 Necotiators.

Washington. = While Gerlnanys latest note to President Wilson was delivered to the State Department through the Swiss legation, cable dis patches from Europe brought informa- tion that the Austro-Hungarian gov ernment has sent another message to the president asking that immediate negotiations for peace and an arnis- tice be entered into without awaiting the results of the exchanges with Germany.
 The Vienna government said that it adheres to the point of view ex pressed by the president in his last communication upon the rights of the Austro-Hungarian peoples, especially those of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo- SlaVs, and requested that he begin overtures with the allied governments with a view to ending immediately hostilities on all AustriaHungarian fronts.
 The official text of the German note did not differ materially from the un- official version as received by cable. There was no official comment, but it is known that no response will be made at present to the note, which is believed to have been sent to satisfy tho German people that their govern ment is not emitting any opportunity to continue negotiations for an armis tice and peace. Regarding the renew ol ,,,f ha fhof the constitutional structure of the German government has been and 8 being changed ito these lines, 1t is said that the truthaof this statement and the scope of the changes already made CT planned are matters to be dealt with in connection with peace and not in arranging an armistice. Of ficials show an intention to resist the apparent intent of both German and Austrian negotiations to continue these two different functions in one phase of the negotiations.
 In the Austrian communication now supposed to be on it's way to Wash ington through the medium of the Swedish government, an effort is made to show that Austria has com piled with the presidents demand for the recognition of the rights of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugp-Slavs and other oppressed peoples of Austria. It does not appear that the complete in dependence oflthese people has been guaranteed and probably sufficient as- surance must De had on that point be- fore the Austrian proposals will be transmitted to the entente powers for submission to the military experts.

YANKS L|bEERATE: 45
 TOWNS IN ADVANCE
FIRST MAJOR ACTION SINCE ST MIHlEL PRoGRESSEs-2o,000
 PRISONERS TAKEN.
FOUR TRENCH LINES WON
Since September 26 Americans Have Fired More Than 2,5oo, ,oOo Shells, the Number at Times Reaching
 as High as 15o,ooo Daily.

With the American Army North west of Verdun.-In it's first major operation against the Germans, con- sidering the clearing out of the St. Michel salient as local affair, the American army in few days less
 than a month, has liberated more than
 forty-tive villages and advanced to
 an average depth of ten miles, free ing 165 square miles of territory. In
 the offensive the Amercians have cap
 tured more than 10000 prisoners. The Americans attacked on front
 of twenty miles from the Argonne to the Mouse and the advance has been
 made in the face of almost insur-
 mountable difficulties, due particular
 ly to the nature of the ground which is covered with hills, deep ravines and woods. In addition the Ameri-
 cans had fronting them four organ | ized system of trenches-the linden
 burg line, the Hagen position, the | Velker position and the Kreimhilde | position. They have forced their way
 through all these lines. Ahead of | them lies the Ereya position which
 has been reached at one point in the l region of the BantheVille woods The 1 advance has been particularly diff
 cult because the Germans have stub bornly resisted every foot of the way
 and have used more than thirty-three divisions on the twenty mile front. | The enemy continues to make a for
 midable effort to hold this front in
 order to protect his retreat lateral | line of communication running through Hirson, Mezieres, Sedan, | Montmedy and Longuyon. This line already is threatened and should the | Germans lose 1t, they will lose their | main line of communication from
 Germany into occupied France.
 In addition to the prisoners, Gen. Pershing's men have taken more than l 137 guns of large calibre, numerous machine guns and anti-tank guns, a great store of ammunition and much
 war material, including locomotives 1 and railway cars.
 Since September 26th the Ameri-
 cans have fired more than 2,500,000
 shells, the number at times reaching
 as high as 150,000 daily. The guns
 used included a great number of
 heavy ones, and also some captured from the enemy.
 American aviators and anti-aircraft
 guns in the period since September
 27 have brought down 230 enemy ma chimes and 23 enemy balloons, despite adverse flying conditions and bad weather at times. Bombing airplanes
 dropped more than 4o,00O kilograms of explosives on railroad centers, troop concentrations and other points
 behind enemy positions.

COLONEL F. M. HOUSE
 REPRESENTS WILSON
WILL ACT AS PRESIDENT WILL SONS PERSONAL REPRESENTA-
 TIVE-HAS FULL POWER.

1 Washington. - Arrival in France of Col. B. M. House. President Wilson's personal representative, and Admiral Benson, the highest ranking officer in the American navy has cleared the way for the beginning of such delibe- rations by the Supreme War Council at Versailles as may be necessary to frame the draft of an armistice to be submitted to Germany. The premiers of the allied countries, who make up the political element of the council, can be assembled at short notice, but it is presumed their presence will not be necessary until the military and naval members have completed their work.
 It was said in official quarters that Colonel House would not be member, of the council, at least for the pres ent; that he simply is the eyes and ears of the president in Europe, chars- ed with ascertaining the exact state of public and private feeling in regard to all matters connected with the war. Possessed of full knowledge of this nature, it is believed the president will be even better prepared than heretofore to deal with every phase of the complex problems that will arise as soon as negotiations for an arnlistice and peace are fully under way.
 | Individual views of the entente
 powers are certain to develop as to
 the action of President Wilson in
 stating the war aims of the United | States. It is said that the president | desires to have these disclosed at the
 earliest possible moment so that a
 united front on these questions might | be presented to the common enemy | by previous agreement among the countries fighting the central powers. | Colonel House will be in a position 10 | learn these separate views and per | haps to reconcile conflicting inter- ests and desires through discussions. Later Colonel House may take ;t place at the council table if Presi- | dent Wilson desires. The president has a vote in the council in the dis DOSItlOl -S possible that he may delegate this power to Colonel House. It has been suggested, however, that the use or the term vote" in connection with the proceedings of the council is mis- leading. What is meant is rather a
 voice in the proceedings, for there ! will be no voting in the ordinary sense; no question of maJorities or
 minorities. The members are charS- ed to broach freely for discussion any subjects they please, and if any line of actien is deemed necessary, eacn
 representative will notify his own government of the general sense or
 the council and it will be for the
 home governments to give the n-
 structions for any change in policy

 "He deems 1t his duty to say again, however, that the only armistice he would feel justified in submitting for consideration would be one which should leave the United States and the powers associated with her in posi- tion to enforce any arrangements that may be entered into and to make a renewal of hostilities on the part of Germany impossible.
