 to Intent of German and
 Austrian Pleas - Paris Scorns Lattcr's Sincerity

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-W hile Gcrmany's latest note to President wilson was delivered 10 the state de- fa-tmcnt today through the Swiss le- sauon. cable dispatches from Europe brought information that tho Austro- Hungarian government had caused another communication 10 be dis patched Co the president, asking that immediate negotiations for peace and au armistice be entered into. without awaiting the results of the exchange with Germany.
 The Vienna government asserted that it adhered Co the same point of firN expressed by the president in his last communication. upon the rights co fhc Ausfro- Hungarian pce~les. es- rcrially those Of the Czecho- -Slovaks and IuEo-Slavs, and requested that he Hren ovcriurcs with the allied gov trumonts with a view tO ending imme- Uilf0ly hostilitics on all Austro- Hun E.rlan fronts.
 No Response IS Likely
 The official text of the German note t.l not differ materially from the un- Dflcill version as received by cable. No official comment was forthcoming. lIi it is known that no response will Io made at present to the Communica- lion. which is believed to be dispatched ulth thC primary intention of satisfy |rC tho German people that their gov srrmeut is not emitting any oppor- tlulty Co forward the negotiations for .u armistice and peace. Regarding fle renewed assurance in the German note. that the constitutional structure cf the German government has been and is being changed to democratic ka ks |, . fhis statement and the scope of the .hanges already made or projected. aftcr all are matters to be dealt with .u connection with peace and not in srranging an armistice A strong dis rostiOn is evidenced. officially. to yield fo The apparent intent of both German ari Austrian ncgotiators. to continue rhrqe essentially different functions in one phase of the negotiations.
 Austria Says She's Complied
 Tn The case of the Austrian communi- rlfon. now supposed to be on it's way fn Washington. through the medium Uf the Swedish government it also was noted that the effort was made to enow that Austria has complied with tho presidents demand for the recos- .ifion of the ri~hts of the Czecho- Slo- tHbs and Jugo- Slavs and other op- UHcsscd nationalities in Austria. It does not appear that the complete in> dependence of these people has been cuarantced and probably sufficient as- esraucc must be had on that point be- .orc tho Austrian proposals will be transmitted Co the entente powers for -rbmission to the military experts.
