Washington, Oct. 21.-Friday will
live in history as the birthday OF
new nation, whose soldiers are scat
tered over the entire globe, whose
capital is thousands of miles away
from the motherland. but which is
fighting the fight of the allied nations
and the United States. The Czecho-
Slovak state is the new nation and Its
declaration of independence. drawn up
by the national council, was made pub
lie in Washington and Paris Oct. IL.
Washington.-Presi Wilson has
answered the peace note of Austria
Hungary with declaration that the
Austro- Hungarian government must
satisfy the national aspirations of its
own people and that they. the people,
shall be the judges of their rights and
destinies.
The note, as transmitted from Sec
retary of State Lansing to the Swedish
minister, said:
~ have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your note of the 7th
instant. in which you transmit COM
munication from the imperial and
royal government of Austria Hungary
to the President.
81 am now instructed by the Presi-
dent to request you to be good enough,
through your government, TO convey
to the imperial and royal government
the following reply:
1.-The President deems 1t his duty
to say to the Austro Hungarian gov
ernment that he cannot entertain the
present suggestions of that govern
ment because of certain events of ut
most Importance which, occurring
since the delivery of his address of
Jan. s last, have necessarily altered
the attitude and responsibility of the
government of the United States
Among the fourteen terms of peace
which the President formulated at
that time occurred the following:
'Tenth-The peoples of Austria
Hungary whose place among the ma
tions we wish to see safeguarded and
assured. should be accorded the freest
opportunity of autonomous develop
ment.'
"'Since that sentence was written
and uttered to the Congress OF the
United States the government of the
United States has recognized that a
state of belligerency exists between
the Czecho-Slovak and the German
and Austro-Hungarian empires and
that the Czecho-Slovaks national
council is de facto belligerent gov
ernment clothed with proper author
ity to direct the military and political
affairs of the Czecho- o-Slovaks.
"'It has also been recognized in the
fullest manner the Justice of the ma
tionalistic aspirations of the Jugo-
Slavs for freedom.
1.-The President is, therefore, no
longer at liberty to accept a mere "au-
tonomy" of these peoples as basis OF
peace. but is Obliged to insist that they
and not he shall be the Judges of what
action OH the part of the AustroHun-
garian government will satisfy their
aspirations and their conception OF
their rights and destiny as members
of the family of nations"

Esteban covertly appraised his sig

behind the fellows tireless persecu-

that swarthy rufiian hunting her down

WHEAT FLOUR PUT
 BACK 0N THE TABLE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov 1S.-Regula- tons requiring householders and bak- CTS to purchase 20 per cent of substi- tutes with each purchase of wheat flour were withdrawn today by the food ad ministration, effective immediately.
 Substitutes already purchased, and for which millers, dealers or bakers do not find a ready sale, will be pur- chased by the grain corporation of the food administration under plans now teing formulated. The coarser grains, now being used as flour substitutes, will be placed on the market as animal feeds. of which there is shortage.
 Although wheat bread may now ap- pear on the American table without re- striction, the food administration am nounced, it will continue to advocate conservation in the use of flour.
 The relaxation of wheat regulations, which have been in effect in various forms since last January 2S, was ascribed directly. in a statement issued by the food administration tonight, to the military armstice. It was pointed cut that the Mediterranean sea now is safe for commeI cial transport and that the European nations can draw again on the large wheat supplies of India and Australia. With cargo ships re- leased from military service, it was said it also will be possible to tap ac- cumulated supplies in the Argentine.

NEW ARMY PLAN |S FORMULATING ON A
 BASIS OF TRAINING
Efficient Men To Be Re
 tained-Many Temporar- iIy Commissioned-None
 Unwilling Kept In Service
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Plans for the reorganization of the war depart ment and the army now are in formu- lation by the gneral staff and soon will be before Secretary Baker. Orders for actual breaking up of the army cannot be promulgated until these plans are completed. as the demobilization pro- gram is dependent to some extent upon the adoption of reorganization policy.
 The secretary has indicated new leg islation will be necessary to carry out the reorganization and is expected to lay definite program before congress at the earliest possible moment.
 Existing law authorizes the main tenance of regular army of approxi- mately 375,000 men. While it is not possible to forecast the number of American troops that must be em- ployed in Europe after the peace trea- ties have been signed military men believe the authorized regular estab- lishment cannot provide an adequate force for all purpose at home and abroad.
 Of the 3.7OOOOO men now under arms. probably not more than 100000 are un- der obligation to serve beyond the res toration of peace. There were 1000 officers and about 120,000 men in the regular army when war was declared. Expiration of enlistments, however. probably has served to reduce this con- siderably and all war time enlistments are for the war period only.
 Many Temporarily Commissioned
 Thousands of the officers now in service are on temporary commissions in the regular establishment. These commissions were issued for a definite period of years and the men might be held. although the general attitude of the department would not indicate any intention of holding such officers against their will when the war emer- gency has passed.
 The number of men necessary to he maintained in Europe probably will be worked out by General Pershing's staff and since similar calculations for the United States and it's possessions are being made here, it is expected that the size of the army for which it will he necessary to provide soon will be ar ! rived at.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-In- crease in the beet sugar producing states and in the cane producing territory of Louisiana, of the household sugar allotments, from three pounds to four pounds monthly, per capita, was ordered today by the food administration, effective December 1. At the same time, public eating places in these sections will be permitted to in crease their consumption from three pounds to four pounds for every ninety meals served.
 For the remainder of the coun- try, it was stated, the allotments of three pounds monthly, per capita, for households, and three pounds per ninety meals for public eating places, will be continued for the present, at least.
 The increase for sugar produc- ing states was granted, the food administration advanced, because of the lack of cargo space for over- seas shipment, together with in sufficient storage facilities in this country.

SHORT SALES IF
 COTTON STOPPED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

lHepupilcan A. Y. Leased Wlrel
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Spec- ulatlve short selling of cotton on the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges was prohibited today by the committee on distri- button. Bona fide hedqe sales against the purchase of cotton are permitted on affidavit from the seller, but no selling orders from foreign countries, except in liqui- dation of long contracts, are to be executed.
 Charles J. Brand, chairman of the committee, notified the presi- dents of the two exchanges this morning by telegraph. He said later that the committees decision was precipitated by undue short selling, yesterday, of speculative interests, who took advantage of the situation created by the cessa- ton of hostIities to force prices down two cents a pound.
 Tonight MT. Brand issued a for nal statement declaring that spec ulative activity in cotton at this time is unjustified. He said:
 "The worlds requirements of cotton to meet it's increasing de- mands for clothing will hence forth be on a continuously ascend ing scale. Based on reports to this committee from the various foreign countries, we estimate their re- quirements and probable imports of cotton under present conditions, to be over two million bales in ex- cess of last years takinas.
 Europe is almost denudcd of cotton and cotton uoods. The po- tential hu'"na power of the world. which will be aided and hastened by the establishment of the neces- sary credits. will quickly assert itself.
