Elimination of Austria Would
Prompt Germany to Make
Capitulation.
TEUTONS FEAR
AN INVASION
Would Probably Surrender When
Allies Threaten to Cross
Frontier.
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, Oct. 29.-In the alb
sence OF any official announcement.
there is widespread impression here
tonight that Austria's renewed appeal
to the President for an immediate
arnnistiee and peace will be transmit
ted to the allied governments. In some
quarters, however. there is disposi-
ton to accord a different treatment TO
the Austrian plea because Of complex
questions arlsing out Of new conditions
which APPARENTLY have developed in the
dual monarchy since the President re-
piled TO Austria's original request for
immediate cessation Of hostiiities.
Nienna's plea for an armistice is in
terpreted quite generally in military
circles as an offer TO capitulate as
completely as Bulgaria.
Military officials, both allied AMI
American, believe complete elimination
Of Austria-Hungary as belligerent
would bring the world war within
sight OF its end. 1t would involve dis
armament Of Austria and demobiliza-
ton and the opening of the Austro-
Hungarian railway routes to the allies.
While there is doubt whether it
would be practical to attack Germany
from the south, best informed entente
officers believe Germany would not at
tempt ia fight on witlt Austria out -of
the war. The greatest fear the Ger
mans have, they say, is invasion OF
German soil and in the end, they be
lieve. Germany will capitulate rather
than face that contingent.

BRITISH ARE SUSPICIOUS
OF GERMAN U-BUAT PLANS

London, Monday. Oct. 2S.-Reports of
German submarines being recalled to

inactivity on the part of the U-boats,

fcers here. It is not believed Ger

that Germany in checking the opera

weight to the evidently inspired re-
ports that she is withdrawing them.

NEGRO BLOCKS
MAIL; Is HELD
In $500 BOND
CHARGED WITH DELAYING DE-
LIVERY ON RURAL ROUTE AND
EXPRESSING CONTEMPT FOR
e UNITED STATES MAIL SERVICE

Held under $500 bond for the Federal
court, Archie Davis, colored auto
truck driver, learned yesterday that
interference with delivery OF the Unit
ed States mails is apt to be followed
by serious consequences.
Owing to the shortage of help at tho
local postofice, Postmaster B. S. Han
cock personally undertook to make
delivery on rural route 4, using his
auto for the purpose, SO that the pat
rons might receive service.
On Seventeenth avenue he encoun-
tered Davis, driving a delivery truck
belonging to local grocer, and ac-
companied by three negro women as
passengers. Mr.. Hancock states that
the truck driven by the negro COM
pletely blocked the passageway and
Davis refused to move when requested
to do so.
The postmaster endeavored TO ex-
rlain to the negro the seriousness OF
delaying the mails but Davis expressed
bis contempt FOR United States mail
or any other kind OF mall

which was learned to be fictitious, and

AMERICA HAS
SHIPPED 25OO
PLANES OVERSEAS

Washington, Oct 29.-The production
of American air craft has reached a
stage where it is limited practically
only to the facilities of transporting
the planes to France. The production
OF Liberty Motors during the month
Of October reached the stage of 1000,
a goal which had not been hoped for
before December. Latest official COM
pilations show that since June 1. ap-
proximately $500 fighting planes have
been shipped to the American forces
in France.
When it is realized that since the
beginning of the war none of the bel
ligerents had at any one time more
than $500 planes in actual service. the
significance of the American produc-
ton OF $500 planes in five months be-
comes apparent.
