The Note Received.

Another note from the German gov. ernment explanatory of the changes that have been = are projected in the GArman constitution and form of gov enment was received today through the Swiss legation, but the state de- patment did not make it public.
 This note was understood to be
 supplementary to the preceding Ger man communication saying to the President that he must have know Hedge of the efforts that have been made to democratize Germany.
 President Wilson was at work today on his reply to Austria's renewed plea for an armistice and peace and t was expected that it would be dis patched before night, but later today
 it was said at the State Department that there would be no announcement regarding the reply tonight.
 Refer To Allies.
 It was understood that in the note the President intended to touch upon the steps that Austria and Hungary have taken in the direction of releas- ing subject peoples from political bondage, but that the Austrian gov stnnsrt's plea would be referred to tho allied governments. The ad- ministration was said to be we'll con- vinced now that Austria already is nearly out of the war and that her VIII for peace is ismply tempered bp a natural disposition to get the best terms possible. short of unconditional |surender.
