Baron Burian
Sees Hope of Peace
Intimates That Austria Will
Act Only in Concert
With Germany

Up to late hour last night Wash
ington had heard nothing definite
regarding the expected German
answer to President Wilson's lat
est note.
The German reply, which has al
ready been drafted, will not be a
complete refusal of the Presidents
terms, according to Berne advices.
Hungarian independence was pro-
claimed by the Magyar parlia-
ment, according to a Berlin dis
patch forwarded from Copen-
hagen.
Efforts of Emperor Charles to solid
ify Austria-Hungary by means of
manifesto promising reform
measures were noted in a dispatch
from Berne. Signs multiply that
the Central Powers are attempt
ing to rearrange their political
status and methods of warfare to
meet Allied demands.
Baron Burian, Austro-Hungarian
Foreign Minister, spoke in a most
optimistic manner of the pros
poets of an early peace, in dis
cussing the probable answer from
Berlin. He intimated, however,
that Austria would act only in
concert with Germany.

Secretary McAdoo Empha-
sizes Need for Funds,
Even if War Ends

With the Zero hour" of the fourth
Liberty Loan fast approaching, the
Treasury Department last night an
nounced that the people of the nation
have filled s3,6O7, 7,597,95O of the coun-
try $4,000, ,0oO,o 900 quota. This report
covers the first sixteen days of the
nineteen day campaign, which closes to-
morrow night.
Although the collective effort Of the
people O. the homo front yielded a
larger return on Wedne sday, which was
the sixteenth day of the push" than
that of any other day, the subscriptions
pledged fell far short Of the schedule
necessary for the closing days. The in
crease for Wednesday in the twelve
Federal Reserve districts, which cover
the forty-eight states, was 1888 100000,
a new high record for the campaign.
Districts Total s94S,792,550
In the New York Federal Reserve
District the gain for the day was S1O1,-
271.70O which is less than on Tuesday,
and the aggregate for this district was
brought forward to $94S.792,550. which
is 52.7 per cent of the districts quota
of 1880 100000.
Including subscriptions filed yester-
da3 which do rot show in the latest
official statistics, the people of the ma
tiol have yet to raise more than $2,-
OO0 100000.
In calling for at least the attainment
fof the minimum quota, Secretary
McAdoo yesterday pointed out that the
coming of peace, whenever it may
come, will in no way diminish the
need of the Treasury for the financial
sid sought in this campaign. Untitled
Nar contracts must be paid for, armies
are to be brought home and a multi
tude of other expenses met. the Sec
retary explained.

German Note Protests
Against Sale of Prop
critics to Americans

Germany has protested against the
manner in which the United States is
turning enemy alien owned concerns
into wholly American institutions
through the processes Of confscation
and sale. A note, bewailing the gov
ernment's hostile action, was received
through the Swiss Legation on Sep
tember 18, it was learned yesterday.
The confiscation of German owned
corporations in the United States and
their, ensuing sale by auction are
termed in the note an action "con-
sciously aimed to do lasting injury to
the German economic existence"
The taking over of German-o owned
ships here and their resulting sale to
American corporations are declared by
the German government to be an at
tempt "to shackle through measures
of force the opportunities of German
shipping interests to develop IN the
future"
$500 600 Versus $l2,000,000
If the Enemy Alien Property Custo-
dian, the note concludes, persists in
continuing his practices, Germany VIII
take retaliatory measures against the
property owned by Americans in the
empire. This property is worth about
$4,000, 1000. So far the United States
has confiscated approximately ss00,oOo,-
600 worth of enemy owned property
Undaunted by the imperial govern
ment's threat, the Alien Property Gus
todian has returned only one answer
to the Teutonic howl of injury. He
has fixed the dates on which eleven
.enemy alien corporations are to be sold
at auction. They are worth in the
neighborhood of $1OO,O00000.
All of the enemy owned enterprises
now in the care of A. Mitchell Palmer,
Alien Property Custodian-some two
hundred in all-will be sold to Ameri-
can citizens as rapidly as they can be
prepared for sale Mr.. Palmer said
yesterday that it was not his intention
at present to sell securities owned by
private investors.

Through the military paintings Of

in Egyptian history during the eight.
eenth dynasty. They formed the
strength Of the army Of shishak, King
Of Egypt s7l years before Christ, when
this intrepid monarch warred and fought
against King RehOboam-
Some years later forgetting the valor
Of the North African Negro which had
secured 50 much for Egypt, the mother
of civilization turned her prowess and
military forces against the Negro tribes
Of the Eastern soudan, and finally un-
der black generals, Commissioned by a

conquered md made tributary 10 the
Negro kingdom Of Ethiopia, and TO
years before Christ this once conquer
ing nation was ruled by the Negro king,
Piah. For four dyuasties, covering Q
period Of go years, through the courage
and military genius of Negro soldiers,
great Egypt was ruled by greater
