Seen by London as
Complete Surrender

LONDON, Oct. 90 9-Austria's reply
TO President Wilson is viewed here as
an unconditional surrender. Although
recognized as alt event of intrinsically
the greatest moment, denoting the

interest in the situation lies in the
effect it viii inevitably have on the
position of Germany.

of Trade and Lasting
Peace

LONDON, oct. 90 Resolutions
unanimously passed at the recent con
ference of French, Italian, Belgian and
British sections of the Inter-Allied
Parliamentary committee recommend
ed that the nations now united in the
fight for liberty should maintain their
close association until the dangers
threatening them had been removed by

powers.
Another resolution said it was Of
paramount Importance that the govern
ments of the Allied nations should
forthwith proceed to prepare in con-
sultation q scheme for the establish
ment after the war of machinery de-
signed to secure and develop $50
clety of Nations as proper means
for attaining durable peace, guarded
by the joint action of free nations.
1T was stated by the committee that
the losses of mercantile tonnage due
to submarine warfare should be made
good so far as possible by the transfer
of enemy tonnage. The committee also
urged upon the Allied governments the
necessity of constituting an inter
allied independent air force for the
purpose of overcoming if need be the
last resistance Of the enemy by cam
paign of raids over his territory.

Austrio's Peace
Plea May Be Sent
To All the Allies

WASHINGTON, Oct. % (By The AS
sociated Press In the absence of anv
official announcement there was a
somewhat widespread impression here
tonight that Austrias S renewed appeal
to Pres ldent Wilson for an immediate
armistice and peace would be transmit
ted to the Allied governments. before
which Germany's request has been
placed
In some quarters there was a dispo-
sition to accord different treatment to
the Austrian plea because of the COM
plex problems arising from the new
conditions that apparently have devel-
oped IN the Dual Monarchy since the
President replied to Austria's original
request for an immediate cessation of
hostillties
The official text Of the Austrian note
was delivered to Secretary Lansing to-
day by the Swedish Minister soon after
the regular Tuesday meeting Of the
Cabinet, at which it was understood the
unofficial version as transmitted hv The
Associated Press from Basic, Switzer-
land, was given consideration.
If any definite conclusion was reached II
the fact was not revealed. Officials said
they could not indicate what disposition
would be made of the note in advance
of careful study of the official YER
sion.

Germany, IN checking the operations

10 the evidently inspired reports that
she is withdrawing them. 1t is possible
Germany expects to create better

with which the morning newspapers
