AUSTRIA ON KNEES; BEGS
FOR IMMEDIATE PEACE
Foreign Minister Andrassy Sends Sep
arate Note to Secretary Of
State Lansing.

Berne, Oct. 30-Count Andrnssy,
the Austrian foreign minister, supple
mentfng his note to President Wilson,
has sent special note to Secretary OF
State Lansing, it is unoffically re-
ported.
In this note the count begs Mr.. Lam
sing to prevail upon President Wilson
to arrange an immediate armistice.
The text of the note has been sent
to all allied governments, according to
Vienna dispatches.
Basel, Oct. 30.-A semi-official note
issued at Vienna on Austria's reply to
President Wilson says:
Austria was obliged to conform to
the methods of President Wilson, who
had successfully replied to three mem
bers of the triple alliance, and act
apart from her allies.
1.-THE monarchy, which has formally
adopted President Wilson's line of ac-
ton, shares his opinion, as was shown
by the emperor's manifesto to the peo-
pies, which, in proclaiming the fecerai-
ization of the monarchy, exceeded
President Wilson's program.
However, the complete reorganiza-
ton of Austria can only be carried out
after an armistice.
eff Austria-Hungary has declared
herself ready to enter into negotia-
tons for an armistice and for peace,
without awaiting the result of negotta-
tons with other states, that does not
necessarily signify an offer Of separate
peace.
"It means that she is ready to act
separately in the interests of the re-
establishment of peace"

Amsterdam, Oct 31-The kaiser Is
willing to abdicate-but not yet. In
an address before members of the
reichstag, an excerpt of which was tel
egraphed from Berlin, the emperor is
quoted as saying:

London, Oct. 31-Despair in the mil

press. The demand for the kaisers
abdicatiOn is becoming daily more in
sistent and general.
Vorwaerts, the Socialist organ, says,
with the detection of Austria our
frontiers are unsafe and further blood
shed becomes useless"
Deputy Richard Kalkhof declared at
a recent meeting of the Centrist party
peror William would not cling to the
crown, but would abdfcate for Ger
many good, according to the Cologne
Tageblatt.
General Groener, the PruSSian war
minister, after an audience with the
emperor, has gone to German head
quarters as the successor to General
Ludendorff, who resigned several days
ago, according to a Central News dis
patch to Copenhagen.
Speaking in the reichstag Friday,
Herr Coin, Independent Socialist, de-
clared it was necessary at this time to
fix responsibility for the situation in
which the German people have found
themselves.
The war has not arisen, he said,
from the faults of individuals, but from
the whole political, historical and eco
nomic connection of things. Essential
ly predatory and DESTROYS of power
was youthful German Imperialism,
which was supported to this end by
strong and offensive militarism assert
The war must be won if it was to
be justified. If it was lost the pOpu-
