WASHINGTON, oct. 29.-In the
absence Of any official announce
ment, there was somewhat wide
spread Impression here tonight that
Aus,rla's renewed appeal to Presi-
dent Wilson for an immediate armis-
tiCe and peace would be transmitted
to the allied governments before
which Germany's request has been
placed.
In some quarters, however, there
was disposition to accord different
treatment TO the Austrian plea, be-
cause OF the complex problems aris-
ing from the note. conditions that
apparently have developed in the
dual monarchy since the president
replied to Austria's original request
for an immediate cessation of hos
Titles.
The official text OF the Austrian
note was delivered 10 Secretary
Lansing today by the Swedish min
ister soon after the regular Tuesday
meeting of the cabinet at which IL
was understood the unofficial YER
SUn OF the note as transmitted by
the Associated Press from Basel,
Switzerland, was given consideration.
il any definite conclusion was
reached, the fact was not revealed,
officials stating that they could not
indicate what disposition would be
made OF the note in advance of a
careful study OF the official version.
Different Trca atment Urged.
Those adherlng to the opinion that

was said that they still must bear in
dividual shares OF the responsibility
, for the acts committed by the em-
plre. Logically each might have TO
sue for a separate peace.
However, IL Is believed that the
American government will not be di-
rerted from the pursuit of its main
object by the consideration OF these
individual uprisings in Austria Hun

Sis,ently the course pursued in deal
ing with Germany, and insist on
treating first the proposition for an
armistice, which 1t regards as
purely military question, leaving to

II that course Is followed then
not only the remnant OF the dual
empire over which Emperor Charles
still holds sway, but the separatist
