The divisional staff officer revealed
that II was the opinion of the military

Cites Tilsit to Lansing as
Drastic Peace Ex-
ample.

AMSTERDAM. Nov. 2.-IIeinrich Lam
masch, Premier of Austria. has written
to Secretary Lansing discussing the stu
alton in Germany. according to Vienna
advices. Prof. Joseph Redlich, member
OF the Austrian Relchsrath. and DR..
Me'nl Joined with DR.. Lammasch in
sending the communication. 1t was writ
ten October IS. n.ne days before the
Lammasch Cabinet was formed in
Vienna.
DR.. Lainnasch recalls TO Secretary
Lansing "the four months which. years
ago. we spent III common labor with the
object of maintaining peace between
two great nations" He refers to the
court OF arbitration which decided the
Newfoundland fisheries dispute. held in
The Hague in 1910. at which Or. Lam
masch was presiding officer and Secre-
tary Lansing was counsellor for tn"
United States.
The communication sets forth cons'd
erations which the writer's sugges'
should be- taken into account in Presi-
dent Wilson's reply to Germany. 1t say.
in part:
THE German people can carry ou'
President Wilson's programme only In
manner corresponding to their cond'-
tions. traditions and ideals. The more
undisturbed the German people are left
and the fewer attempts made to keep
them in leading strings the more surely
! and quickly will they attain their OBJ
! jective.
Conditions which the German people
could only consider to be humiliating
would be rejected, or Il forced to ac-
cept momentarily they would bear then,
| ONLY SO long az the more immediate
necessity compelled. Just as after Tilsit
the German people AZ soon as they had
recovered their strength would rise az
one man against the injustice inflicted
| upon them.
"Only by considering these matters in
| formulating a programme may the per-
nlcious power of mlitarlsm be curbed.'
The allusion to Tilsit refers to the
treaty OF Tilsit, forced upon Russia and
Prussia by Napoleon in July, 1907
Prussia by this convention had to sur
render her domlnions west OF the Elbe

ENTHUSIASM BY OTHERS
Toilers' Leader, Home Again,
Says to Back Wilson for
Allies Sake.

Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation OF Labor and
chairman OF the labor mission sent
abroad by President Wilson two months
ago to make a Survey OF labor conditions
in allied countries, returned to New York
yesterday.
Mr.. Gompers was in Paris to attend
meeting OF tho committee of the labor
movements OF the allied countries when
he received word of the death in Wash
ington OF his daughter. Miss Sadie Julia
Gompers. He felt compelled to return
to America Immediately, but left John
p. Frey and c. L. Baine in Paris to at
tend the conference.
OF the work of the mission and condi-
lions as he observed them Mr.. Gompers
said:
THE work Of the mission was success
full. far beyond our expectations. we
carried the message of sympathy, good
will and cooperation OF the masses OF
the workers to all the people of the coun-
tries we visited. The responses were
most hearty and enthusiastic and showed
a determination TO carry on the war TO
triumphant conclusion.
Even the labor movements Of the al
lied countries declared that the struggle
was between democracy and autocracy
and pledged labor Of the allied countries
In support OF their respective Govern
ments to the achievement of that end.
THE American labor mission visited
all the fighting fronts and was In the
midst of the shell fire of the German
and Austrian forces as well as the fire
OF the men of our American and allied
armies. We mingled with the men. They
were cheerful, buoyant and eager to give
their all for the accomplishment of the
common cause for justice and freedom.

FRENCH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE,
Nov. S.--Germany's armies are unbeaten.
according to a German divisional stan
officer recently taken prisoner on the
French front. and Germany's request Cor
an armisticc was the result OF the in
.uence which pessimists have gained in
tho Government and over the Emperor.
This officer. an intelligent representative
Of his class, said:
The German request for an armistice
IS proof to me that the Grand Head
quarters has been submerged by the
crisis in the interior of Germany. The
influence OF the General Staff over the
Emperor has been exaggerated.
Tile Emperor Is surrounded by people
who feel and talk defeat of the species Of
Scheidemann (the German Socialist
leader). They are continually setting
before the Emperor the unfavorable sit
uation of Germany from their point Of
view. and painting in sombre colors the
frtghtful responsibility he has incurred,
- we'll as the possible consequence to
his person In case OF defeat, which APP
pears to them to be imminent.
There are days when no officer or tie
General stan can gain ACCESS 10 tile E-tii-
peror. These are days OF acute pessi-
mism. passed by the monarch almost en-
t!rely in prayer and Bible reading.
Tho German people want peace at
once and at all costs. They have had
enough of war.
Another cause Of anxiety is the sep
aratist movement which has become very
serious lately. The talk through all
south Germany now Is: Let us separate
from Prussia"
Bavarians Insult Prussians.
Bavaria is the worst There every
one, even the soldiers. may insult Prus-
ella without provoking word OF defence
in our behalf The Bavarian press en-
ploys the same tone, and we are begin
ming to think that this Is desired by
the Bavarian army, which will make no
further effort. Their attitude is an
enigma.
There appears to be no military
necessity for the conclusion OF peace
now, in spite Of the constant retirement
Of our forces since the middle of July,
and this is the opinion Of the majority
OF my comrades on the different STATS.
I'VE thought generally that our retreat
upon the Siegfried positions would con-
t!nue till winter, in the meantime weak
