French Regard Mox's
Speech as Proof of
Gernany's Anxiety

Special Dispatch to The Tribuno)
WASHINGTON, Oct. ga dispatch
rom Paris to-day gives the following
summary of French press comments on
he speech Of Prince Maximilian:
The entire French press considers
that the speech made by Prince Man
of Baoen is proof Of Gerlnany's anx-
'ety. and includes admissions Of defeat
But the papers also note that the i'm
perial Chancellor still tries to equivo-
cate. They conclude 1T is .he Allies
duty to display now, more than ever,
-irmness and prudence toward a power
responsible for the war and which
would evade the consequences of its
actions and the reparations of it's
crimes"
The Temps" after calling to mind
ehe celebrated letter written by Prince
Max of Baden to Prince Alexander of
Hohenlohe, writes:
The Chancellor says that the Allies
wish to evade peace negotiations like
i culprit trying to escape the court Of
Justice. Even Chancellor Bethmann-
Iolwee, whose opinion is that neces-
ity undersJ Jands no law, never said
anything 60 stupendous. Germany
Snows that she has lost the game,
but believes she will still he able to
save the stake by cheating at the last.
From the "Journal des Debats -:
German hypocrisy has never, perhaps.
appeared so plainly before Defeated,
compelled to abandon her conquests,
Germany declares the time TO put force
aside and TO engage in a contest of
IDEAS has come. Her offences and her
vastations have fail d TO bring her
success; she now invites the nations

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)


WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Represent-
atives of Poland assembled at Warsaw
are soon to draft the constitution of
the new Polish state, according to an
official telegram from Rome to-day
which gives the text of message
from the Polish National Committee to
the Italian people. The message says:
italians, new Poland is born! A
Polish Independent nation, comprising
all the ancient territories of Poland.
now allied with all the democracies of
the world, through the Deputies of
Poland as legitimate REPRESENTATIVES
OF all classes of the Polish population,
have met at Warsaw and have pro-
claimed unanimously the union Of all
the Polish territories subject to Aus
tria and Germany with Poland.
'The Polish representatives express
the full will of the entire Polish ma

stituton of the Polish nation will
shortly be drafted
"Thc Polish nation. thus reborn,
wishes to communicate this great de-
cision to the italian nation. The Polish
nation proclaims that there are no
more Poles subject to Austria. Ger
many and Russia, but only Polish citi-
zens. all free and worthy of the glori-
Gus historv Of Poland.
The representatives of Poland as
sembled at Warsaw are sure that the
Italian nation will recognize this irrev-
ocable fact. which is destined to fur
ther strengthen the ties of friendship
between Poland and her sister nation"

Huns Order Too Late
To Save Capt. Fryatt
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
w BELGIUM, Oct. "a {By The
Associated Press An inspection of
numerous German posters in Bel
gium discloses that wherever the
death penalty for offences by civil
ians was exacted no signature was
attached. 1t is therefore concluded
that no German com mmander was will
ing to take an individual responsible
ity for such orders, possibly fearing
consequences in the future.
This was especially the case in
Bruges. In addition to the visible
evidence, it was testified to by NJ
Echevin, one of the aldermen who
attended the execution OF Captain
Fryatt, the master of the British
steamer Brussels, as the represen-
tative of the city The alderman
said Captain Fryatt bravely looked
straight at his fling squad. An
hour after his execution an order
that he be shot arrived from Ger

Foch's Truce Terms
Are oxta7aour,t to
Complete Surrender
{ Ey The United Press)

WASHINGTON. Oct "a Marshal
Foch, together with American and
allied commanders, if asked by Presi-
cent Wilson to supply armisticc terms,
probably would announce course
entamount to Gcrmany's uncondi-
tlonal surrender
From an autho ritativc source it was
learned to-day the terms agreed upon
are essentially as follows:
FIRST - Evacuation Of Alsace-Lor-
raine.
Second Evacuation Of prussian Po-
land
Third Cessation of all munition
making to be insured by committees
of Allied officials, who will be installed
n all factories at Essen and other
points.
, Fourth Surrender of the submarine
fleet
Fifth Taking over of all German
oattleships by Allied naval officers
The provisions of the armistice
have been drafted to embody the fore
gong points and to insure com
pleteIy against any resumption of war
'are by Germany, either on land or
sea.

Ayr77istice Purely
Military Question,
Says French Paper

PARIS, Oct. 23.-Presidcnt Wilson's s
reply to Germany was received in COM
petent quarters here to-day with Gu
tire approval
The reply was published by the
newspapers here in English, as we'll as
in French translation, at the request
Of the authorities.
La Liberte" says that if Germany
gives guarantees rs demanded by the
slble for her to continue the war
Everything is now in the hands of
the military says the Temps" "The
reply has moved the problem from the
domain Of controversy to the domain
OF facts. The President attaches such
Importance to the essential idea that
an armisticc must make it impossible
Tor Germany to resume the war that he
expresses it three times.
"Now the Allied governments in Eu-
rope must consult with one another"
the "Temps" concludes "Thcir posi-
ton il simple. They have not taken
part in the elaboration of the pro
eramme which President Wilson has
developed as regards future peace, nor
III the exchange of notes which have
passed between Germany and the
United States. There can then be no
question OIL dlScuSSlnE cOndltlOns al
peace. The Allies of Europe associated
with the United States face purely
military problem. Germany asks for an
armistice. What are the guarantees
which must be expectcd?"
Marcel Sembat, in "L'Heure,' says:
NO reply Of the Presidents, in our
opinion. has equalled the present one
in frankness. To the carpers in the
United States who impored him not to
rep he turned a deaf ear. No
better warning could be given Germany
than that she holds her fate in her
own hands. VIII she uncrown the Kai-
ser and become a free people. or will
she remain infatuated with the mill
tary impcraIsts? The choice is hers.

From the Petit Parisien": "The
speech of Prince Max of Baden, as wel
as the last German notes. show us the
at the approaching period and her
wish to escape it without submitting
to the terms categorically laid down
by Mr. Wi SON"
From "Homme Librc": "Speaking
in particular Of the declarations re-
garding exterior political questions, of
course, the speech of Prince Max Of
Baden is a formidable judicial charge
against the preceding governments;
But his inferences are inadequate; and
confused"

DR.. Wekerle asked the House to
reject Count Karolyi's resolution on

Hungary could not conclude peace

clared that the Germans were help

"At all points," DR.. Wekerle re-
piled, where they are protecting
the integrity of our frontiers. The
government is endeavoring to bring
home Hungarian regiments and al

end. The government is unable to
recognize the belligerency of the

Dear Father:
Having the privilege of writing

as it will take me quite while be-
fore l will set it finished | Will com
mence it this afternoon. 1t surely
is a treat and / think it is a Christ
mas gift in itself to be allowed TO
write as long letter as we wish
and whatever we wish at least once
while we are over here but | think
that soon we won't have any of the
letter censored. Just think it has
been nearly six long months since
wrote letter that | have been al
lowed such privilege, it seems so
long that l don't know how TO begin
one of this sort. About the first
thing / am going to say is that | am
still in the best of health and have
been taking things very easy since
the signing of the ar1nistice but be-
fore | get ahead of my story | guess
| ought to tell what i have been do

At the time of starting we were or

You we're in there you couldn't see
anything bur hunks and the next fel-

there to look out the window there
or to raise it for fresh air for we
ware about fifty feet below the sur

We we're fer most of us any way on
our flrst tr.N across the sea, when
we perhaps .aated to see at least
the Statue of Liberty maybe for the
last time and for a good many it
was their last chance but even that
was denied us not because the Off
GERS were cruel but for preventive
measures. The lights were turned
cut not to be lighted again until we
landed in France. The only thing /
could hear was chains rafting and
boats answering one another with
their noanful whistle sounds. At
that time you know the subs" were

was on is powerful boat also is a
very large one. We carried nearly
seven thousand passengers. Of the
seven thousands Just seven hun
