Denounce Separate Peace.

LONDON. Oct. so.--A German wireless
despatch picked up here tonight says
the German National party at yester-
days sitting expressed profound indlg-
nation at Count Andrassy. the Austro-
Hungarian Foreign Minister, making an
OFFER to President Wilson to negotiate a
separate peace without consulting the
German Government or the representa-
tivcs of the German executive commit
tees.
In the Reichstag, the despatch adds.
Count Andrassy's action caused dlsmay
and anger, II being declared It was not
necessary, as the situation was assuming
a form under which cooperation with
Germany would be possible.
The wireless says also that advices
from Budapest were that on instructions
OF the Hungarian Government the Gov
ernor surrendered Fiume out OF consid-
Grafton OF the small number OF Croatian
troops there and that the Town Council
was dissolved and all the authorities
ceased their functions. The despatch
adds that the fate OF Fiume will be de-
cided in the peace conference.
