dicate that the American and allied
military representatives In France had
completed the work Of framing the
granted an armistice.
It was assumed that the report Of the
arrival OF Marshal Foch's terms az

hagen dispatch quoting the Berlin yos-
sische Zeitung, was based on press dis
patches Of Tuesday from London, pur-
| porting to outline what would be de.

retary Lansing today the note Of Count
Andrsssy. the new Austro Hungarian
foreign minister. asking the president

grant OF armistice terms to Austro-
| Hungaria. The translation shows no
material difference from the version al
| ready published
Wilson to Reply Soon.

President. Wilson in the renewed plea OF
Austria Hungary for an immediate
| armistice and peace negotiations was
expected today to he made soon.
In the opinion Of many the anewcr

that, like Germany. II must look to the
supreme war council. now In session
| in Paris. for the terms on which an

be brought to an end.
The president spent most OF yester-
| day in working on n reply to the Aus
| trian note, and last night it was be-
lleved he had practically completed the
| task
IT was generally thought that the
| president In addition to notifying the
| Austrian government that it's COM
municntion had been referred to the
allied government would take up the
steps Austria Hungary had taken in
| liberating the peoples Of the monarchy.

made by the socialist members OF the
lower house OF the German reichetag
on Tuesday that the ministry obtain
the emperor's consent to n change IN the
article Of the constitution which gives
him the right to make war and peace
One of the secretaries announced on
Wednesday that he had been author
ized to declare that the emperor In In
no wise opposed to the change.
"a Copenhagen dispatch announced
Oct. H. that the German federal coun
ell had accepted proposed amend
ment 20 the constitution, making y
imperative that the consent OF the
federal council and that OF the reich
stag be given before declaration or
war be made in the empires name,
except in cases OF invasion or attacks
on the coast. Another amendment 70
the constitution places the power Of
making treaties Of peace and treaties
with foreign states on the federal
council and the reichstag.
Prince MaNimilian. the imperial
chancellor. announced Oct. -, that a
bill had been prepared making the
recihstag responsible for war and
peace tho measure to become effective
when a league OF nations was formed.
It Is probable that the foregoing dis
