Washington Oct. 5--Out of the

mier. Such Is the belief in thought

would reply has been generally eX-

tWenty-fo hours, an indication that
Austria was waiting on the eXpeeta-
ton of things that are now nearly ac-
complished. The two more important
of these things were the evacuation
OF Belgium and the entry of The Ger

electoral reforms.
