AUSTRIANS SEND
S. O. S. FOR PEACE

with Germany, and insist on treating
first the proposition for an armisticc,
which it regards as a purely military
question, leaving to IL final 0caco
conference the adjustment Of tn"
claims to independent existence Of tn"
various oppressed nationalities in
Austria-Iimgary.
All Must Accept
If that course is followed, then not
only the remnant of the Dual Empire
over which Emperor Charles still
holds sway, but the separate State Of
Hungary and even Bohemia and the
Jugo -Slavs sections must accept the
terms to be laid down by the supreme
military council at Versailles. This,
many observers said, probably would
involve disarmament, dcmobiliZation,
opening Of the Austro- Hungarian rail
ways to the Entente Allies and guar-
antccs in the shape of occupied for
trcsscs to insure the safety Of The
Entente armies against trcachcrous
attacks in the rear if they advance TO
strike Germany from the south
--- Offer to Sapituate. -..
Vicnna's plea for an armisticc is
interpreted quite generally in Mill
tarY circles here as an offer to cap
itulatc as completely as did Bulgaria.
Military officials, both Allied and
American, believe that the complete
elimination Of Austria Hungary as =
belligcrcnt would bring the world war
within sight Of an end.
While there is a doubt that it wOuld
be practical to attack Germany from
the south, the best informed Entente
Officers on duty here firmly believe
that Germany would not attempt 60
fighI on with Austria out of the war
The greatest fear the Germans
have, they say, is Of invasion of Gcr-
man soil and in the end, they believe
| Germany will capitulate rather than
| face the contingenc.
Probable Results
| Assessing the probable results Of
Austrian surrender, officers pointed
out that it would release the Italian
armies for operations elsewhere. Tn.
| less Turkey has also dropped out Of
the fight by that time it would seem
logical, it was said, to expect tkat
these forces would be turned at cree
in pressing the campaign against
ConStantinople. With Turkey also out,
the two Italian divisions now in
France could be quickly supplemented
and another great arm' erected ON

Hun Divisions In Russia
One result of Austrian captulatiur
which cannot be guaged reliably in
advance is the situation of the tki.Iv
or more German divisions in Russia.
The German general staff is known to
have reduced the German forces in
Russia to what was regarded rs the
minimum for safety when the spring
drive in France was prepared. E.c.

FROM RHINE LANDS.
Nivilian Departures Have Developed
CIVILIANS DEPARTING -
Into Panic Flight
Flight of POpulace Began When Al
lied Bombs First Hit Cologne

London, Oct. 29.-Civilan depart
urcs from the lower Rhine land and
part Of West Phalia, which were be-
gun on small scale when the first
Allied bombs hit Cologne, have devel-
opcd into a panic flight, according to
The Hague correspondent of the
Daily Mail. All the banks are being
stormed by depositors who are with
drawing their savings in German bank
notes of as high a value as are OBJ
tainable, the 100 mark not having an
apprcciable market value over low
er currency. But even small notes, of
one mark, are being taken eagerly.
Not only are some of the banks at
their wits end for legal currency TO
pay out deposits, but in places, espe.
ccpt local, and therefore valucless,
currency has disappeared, as if by
magic.
Houses Empty
Everybody who can possibly afford
1t, is trying to make hi Sor her way
eastward. Scores OF houses stant!
empty.
Even in Berlin financial panic has
seized the people, and the ordinary
paper currency of the Empire has van
lshed. The municipality has been COM
PEELED to issue emergency currency to

| valid until February |, next, within
the confines of Greater Berlin
Traacsmen may refuse to accept this
! currency, or at least decline to change
| the notes, except when compelled to
| take them in payment for goods al
really delivered.
Flaming Appeals
The big German banks have pub
lished flaming apepals to "our fcl.
| ilow citizens" not TO withdraw depos-
| its and not to hoard currency notes
But the rush on the banks has grown
worse than ever.

Do Not Divide tho Army

GO far the President has sternly resisted
~ every effort that has been made to launch
military expeditions in other theaters than
in France. There has been pressure upon
him to send great army to Russia. to send
Al least one corps TO Italy. to send divisions
of Americans to Macedonia, and to land
troops OH the Thurman coast. He has turned
n deaf ear TO such proposals and has acted
with wisdom that future events must vim
dictate.
This war must be lost in France.
The present battle line is to be the decisive
battle line. Upon it Germany will concen-
tTate the most powerful army possible to re-
cruit in the empire. Already she has thrown
her utmost strength into the balances from
the Alps TO the sea. She will maintain her
strength there and will continue to fight il
out there until she is crushed. OF that there
can be possible doubt.
And in the light of this fact it would be
folly for the United States TO split into parts
the military force that it is training and
eGuipping for the final struggle. The Presi-
dent has been urged to land a great body OF
n!en in Viadvostok, march or TRANSPORT them
through Siberia and strike Germany from
the rear. But there is not military au-
thorlty in Washington who could get the
consent OF his judgment to such ar eXped-
ton. II would be n year before an American
amy could be planted in position to strike
anu II lulSnl never redCn G6rmanyS frontiers.
It is proper thing send regiment to
Italy a matter OF good will, but it would
be foolish TO send any large body of troops
TO that country. Nothing could be more in
oefensible than TO undertake the dispatch Of
another army 10 Macedonia. The Italian
situation is one OF Importance. That must
b. conceded. The Macedonian campaign may
turn out 10 have fateful bearing upon the
duration of the war, but there is not one
sound reason for believing that either can
&c decisive in so far the vital issue Of Ger
manys defeat is concerned.
II the United States has 100000 men
ready to go n.o battle and could transport
them to Europe or Asia and after transport
ing them abroad. could successfully muniton
and supply them, it might be practicable for
this country TO undertake more than one
campaign. But not one of these conditions
exists And as long as it is possible and prac-
ticable for America to strike but one mighty
blow, that blow should be landed where It

man army in France Once that army is de-
leatcd 1t will be simple matter to deal with
Austria Bulgaria and Turkey. Once Ger

GUS shades of summer go
I'll miss the hues. the crimsons blues. that I
have always cherished so:
I'll miss tho long long days of light. the early
dip. the evening dreams,
The flashing Of the fnny backs that cut the

When summer wanes. know I'll sigh to part
with all the summer rays,
And restless sit the Lonesome nights in seasons
of the shortening days;
For summer is the friend Of life. the long COM
panon of blisses,
Redolent with its rare perfumes and sweet with
loves and rich with kisses
But then. when summer wanes. there como tho
brown October woods and fields,
The bursting barns with stores Of grain, the

And after all-perhaps when summer wanes I

Seeing the brown and gold of wondrous autumn
