WILSON'S REPLY ID AUSTRIA CHASED AS HISTORIC EVENT Paris Paper Says No Prob lem Is Graver Than One
 So Ably Handled by
 President

Paris, October 20.-Commenting on the American reply to the Austro-Hun- garian peace proposal the Temps says:
 President Wilson's refusal is his toric event No problem of this war is graver than the Austro- Hungarian question. On the solution it receives depends the security of our country. the future of Europe and the peace of the world. President Wilson lays aside at the outset all solutions previously suggested; he gives his word to the peoples directly. No one can hereafter withdraw it from them."
 "The note of President Wilson in it's brevity is absolutely clear" says the Matin. "The Czechs and Jugo- -Slavs have earned the right to be free nations. President Wilson does not undertake to regulate in advance the complex questions in Austria Hungary, but is content to declare that oppressed na- tions have the right to rule themselves in their own way
 President Wilson points out to Elm his eyes they are not authorized to dis cuss peace" says the Echo De Paris, because the future of the peoples of the monarchy must be fixed by a treaty to be concluded because he has recognized the CZechs as belligerents and because he has decided that the southern Slav peoples shall choose their lot freely"
