rosa to the President, nor had Washington
received it,
Against this wild fury of the Pan-Ger
mans it is important to record the views
OF German newspapers which very likely
reflect the attitude of the government. Tho
Berlin "German:a," which is the leading
Catholic organ of Northern and Eastern
Germany, and which is in a position to
know Hertling's views, interpreted Ger
nin's communication of his speech to the
President as follows:
"1n view of the happy accord between Ger
many and her allies in all questions of war
aims and tactics can take it that Count
Czernln never would have made his offer if
he had not been certain Of our governments
concurrence"
Precisely the same view was taken bv
Georg Bernhard, the managing director
CT the "Vossische Zeitung," and other vi.
stem papers. Nevertheless, the same
paper expressed the fear that "Austria is
drifting toward an Anglo-Saxon peace,
With the possible result that Germany will
DC left alone in the war; without present
or future allies"
1T is highly interesting to note that the
powerful "kolnische Zeitung" also pruc-
tically connected the German government
with Czernins declaration about colnmuni-
eating with Washington. Its Vienna cor
respondent telegraphed that Czernin's
words Represented step which had al
ready been taken along a line to lead the
Western powers to come to discussion of
terms with Germany" In other words, it
was another German bid for peace
Of course, all these newspaper utter
anccs from the government press run
counter to the view that the friction be-
tween the authorities on the Spree and
those on the Danube has already seriously
disturbed their relations. At present,

"The Kansas City Star" thinks that
Austria is beginning to "fnd out what
Germany went to war for, and what Ger

Austria is dupe and tool and begins to

"The New York Evening Post" finds in
the news reports convincing evidence that
the Austrian worm is turning" 1t also
concludes that "there is growing diver

Other optimistic interpretations might

KRUPPS MUST ANSWER.

Siu Gun Shop Had Much to Do With
instisatins War.
The directing heads of the krupp
works in Germany will have to answer
before a high court of justice for their
responsibility in the matter Of this war,
according to an Entente diplomatic
dispatch received in Washington,
which seems to indorse the proposal by
the British attorney general for an in
ternational tribunal to try individuals
guilty of crimes against humanity COM
mitted by enemy nationals.
The dispatch reproduces charges
against General Keim, the first presl-
dent of the German Military league
and former president Of the German
Naval league, who made himself noto-
rious by conducting violent Pan
German campaign. He is charged
with receiving regular subsidies from
the Krupp firm. Deputy Edward Bern
stein has brought before the reichstag
proof that General keim has received
of the important war material firms"
Bernstein, who is declared by the
dispatch to have authentic documents
to substantiate his charges. alleges that
one of these papers is a private report,
dated 1901, stating that General keim
organized the press bureau under Ca
privi, that he had many acquaintance
among the press and that owing to his
antecedents there was none qualified
better than he to modify the feelings
Of the people toward the Krupp firm
and winning sympathy for it.
Bernstein proved that ever since
1901 the Krupp books have contained
an account Of which the principal
treasurer had only an incomplete
knowledge, as he remitted the amount
re egularly, not to General keim him.
self, but to one of the firms managers
The dispatch declares that the Of
fenscs of the Krupp firm. against the
German people are worse than those
of General kein,. and that "the direct
ors Of the enterprise will be made to
answer some day to high court OF
justice for their systematic preparation
made with the assistance Of military
commanders for the universal carnage
which has brought about the defeat Of
Germany"

AUSTRiANS CAME CRAWLING.
When Captain Failed a General Was
Sent

The Austrian application for an ar
mistice was made under the following
conditions, writes a correspondent OF
the London Times from Italian head
quarters:
Toward evening on October 2s an
Austrian officer was seen coming from
the enemy trenches close to Serravalle
in the Adige valley and when 1t be-
came evident at once that his white
flag was genuine, Italian officers went
forward to meet him.
The officer. a captain. declared that
he had come to discuss conditions for
an armistice. Taken to u neighboring
command and questioned he was found
not to have authoritative papers and
was sent back with the message that a
more representative and duly accredit-
ed mission should be sent II the matter
was to be pursued.
On Wednesday evening white flag
again was hoisted, the Austrians hav-
ing evidently determined to make due
sacrifice to pride, and this time more
fitting personalities appeared. At the
head of a small group which ap-
preached the Italian trenches was the
Austrian general, Won Weber. a corps
commander. The party consisted OF
eight persons and included another
general, naval and military officers.
also civilians. either diplomatic or gov
ernment representatives. secretaries
and typists.
They were treated with every court
csy. When Won Weber formally stated
his mission and had shown he was the
bearer Of proper credentials he and his
party were driven the next day in mo-
torcars to q villa close to General
Diaz's headquarters.
On Sunday at a. m, General Ba-
doglio, chief Of staff, drove with an es-
cort Of cavalry to the villa and on his
arrival all the troops saluted and bu-
giles sounded. Entering the villa.
General Badoglio found all the Aus
trian mission standing in line In the
drawing room awaiting him. General
Won Weber was in full uniform, wear
ing the stars and ribbons Of his order.
General Badoglio salutcd him and
without seating himself asked his err
rand. General Won Weber replied he
had come to ask under what conditions
mn armistice would be granted. Ba-
dogilo answeded that within an hour he
would let him know the general lines
of such an armistice contained in a
written message. He then left the
room and the written message in ques-
ton was at once sent to the villa.
Meanwhile kilograms were exchanged
with Versailles. In the afternoon pre-
else details of the armistice were re-
ceived from Premier Orlando and
again in written form handed to Won
Weber.
In the evening one Of the Austrian
ENJOYS left in a motor car for Serra-
vale with a draft Of the conditions to
communicate them to the Austrian
government.
The Austrian plenipotentiaries, much
depressed, did not show themselves
outside the villa nor walk in the gar
den. Even they, men Of position who
might be supposed to have avoided the
worst straits Of their compatriots, be-
trayed the need of food.

sponses from the thousands Of long

No governor since Tillman has re-
ceived any honor from the voters OF
this state, other than the customary
second term. What's the reason? The
majority of South Carolina voters
probably want something that they
have not received from the leadership
of any governor since Tillman-con-
structivc leadership.
The distinguishing quality of Till
mans leadership was its destruction Of
the power of those who had politically
controlled South Carolina prior to his
advent as a power in politics, but he

largely because ne was so common
and then suffered defeat as a candi-
date for senator and for Il third term

Of South Carolina.
II will pay Governor Elect Cooper to
ponder these things. No small part oil
the credit of his success in getting to
be governor after two unsuccessful at
tempts is due to the knowledge that
he sprang from the loins OF the COM
