u. S. Conveys Make
Record in Fight on

June to August Reports Are

AMERICAN NAVAL BASE. FRANCE,
Oct. 10 Correspondence Of The As
sociatcd Prcss) The record of sub
June, July and August, the period most
favorable to submarines, is now prac-
tically made up, and shows two highly
satisfactory results-a steady fall in
the Allied shipping sunk and steady
rise in the submarines destroyed
This summer period. which also COW
cred the tremendous arrivals, is equally
satisfactory, not one of the incoming
troopships being lost and every soldier
landed. Such losses as have occurred
have been on outgoing ships, mainly
freighters going back with little or no
cargo.
AS the American naval convoy SER
vice has borne the brunt of this protec-
ton, the results achieved for the first
summer are notable tribute to the
American fleet. In the Mediterranean
there are five Allied navics cooperating
in the protective service-French, Brit
ish, American. Italian and Japanese.
Here on the Atlantic coast, however,
the French and American fleets furnish
the conveys and protective service, and
can service has foremost part, par
ticularly in the huge movement Of
troops and supplies from America
The record of tonnage losses for the
summer will close around 100000 tons.

IT was announced that Austria was

80 great was the uproar that the pre-

Count Michael Karoly, president Of

followed DR.. Wekerlc, demanded that
immediate peace negotiations be be-

which has heretofore been followed,
according to advices from Budapest.

Especial Gable to The Tribune)

Copyright. 1918. New York Tribune Inc)
LONDON, Oct. ia great move
ment to bring about an armistice is
nov under full headway.
Through the neutras Germany has
learned pretty accurately what the Al
lies would demand in the way of armis-
tIcc terms. In drafting a reply to
President Wilson these terms will be
taken into consideration.
Austria, through Count Buran, has
told Germany that President Wilson $
torms are satisfactory.
The widely discussed interview with
Lord nIilncr reflects large body of
influential opinion on peace terms.
Nevertheless it is being hotly debated.
The paciist DAILY News" Welcomes
his statement that IAN armisticc with
the necessary guarantees will effect the
downfall Of Prussian militarism as
surely "a a surrender IN the ficld"
There are many who echo Lord Miners
fear that the overthrow Of the Hohen-
zollern dynasty might lead to d Boil
shevist uprising. Says "Thc Wcstmin-
ster Gazctte":
1--WE agrc with Lord Miner that the
Allies should avoid all language which
puts them in the position Of appearing
20 dictate to Germany what form Of
SO' Si u niiN'iI 'i'Ny sTeiII tAUOpl III GCI-
many"
"Thc Globe" which has been a
strong supporter of Lord Miner and
the Conservative party. is now on the
other side. It says bitterly:
1--WE should have preferred to ignore
this blunder, but unfappjly it cannot
be ignored and must already have done
considerable mischief in Washington
and Paris. to say nothing Of its en-
Couragement to our enemies as evidence
OF the assistance which German policy
will receive in this country in far more
powerful quarters than our Bolshe-
viki's.
ut is true that Lord Miner is no
longer Il member Of the War Cabinet,
but he was British War Minister at the
height Of the great war. and if he re-
fleets the attitude Of the government
all we can say is God help England!'
N the eiay Of negotiation"
The interview undoubtedly served
sevcra! purposes, not the least of which
vas TO develop differences Of temper.
Because certain sections of the British
press demand drastic punishment for
Germany it may not be safe to assume
that all British statesmen are prepared
to support American newspapers to the
extent of unconditional surrender and
pers onal punishment.

Czecho-S[ouaks
Declare Freedom
From Austria

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Indc-
pendence of the Czecho-S -Sloval ma
ton was declared formally to-day
by the Czecho- Slovak National
Council, recognized by the United
States and the Entente Allies as a
oelligerent dc facto government.
The declaration, renouncng alleg-
ance to the Hapsburg dynasty and
announcing principles for the founda-
ton of q republic, was issued in
Paris, and copy was handed to
President Wilson by J. Cisar, of the
councils staff in Washington.
The document is signed by Dr..
Thomas G. Masaryk, president of the
council, as Premier and Minister of
Finance, and by other officers of the
provisional government. 1t follows:
"DECLARATION OF INDE-
PENDENCE OF THE CZECHO-

made in Prague on January 5. 1913
and realizing that liberalization and,
still more, autonomy, mean nothing
under Hapsburg dynasty do hereby
make and declare this our Declara-
ton OF Independence.
We do this because of our belief
that no people should be forced to
live under sovereignty they do not
recognize, and because of our knowl-
edge and firm conviction that our ma
ton cannot freely develop in a Haps-
burg mock federation, which is only
a new form of the denatonalizing
oppression under which we have suf-
fered for the last three hundred
years.
