REPLY TO AUSTRIA

On October 10, President Wilson's reply to
Austria was handed to the Swedish minister in
Washington for transmission to Vienna.
'Sir:-I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your note of the 7th inst, in which you
transmit communication Of the imperial and
royal government Of Austria Hungary to the
President. | am instructed by the President to
request you to be good enough through your
government to convey to the imperial and royal
government the following reply:
"'The President deems it his duty to say to
the stro-Hungarian government that he can
not entertain the present suggestions of that
government because Of certain events OF utmost
Importance, which, occurring since the delivery
Of his address Of the 9Th Of January last, have
necessarily altered the attitude and responsible
ity Of the government Of the United States.
Among the fourteen terms Of peace which the
President formulated at that time occurred the
following:
OK The peoples of Austro- Hungary, whose
place among the nations we wish to see safe
guarded and assured, should be accorded the
freest opportunity Of autonomous Development
"Since that sentence was written and uttered
to the Congress Of the United States, the gov
eminent Of the United State has recognized
that state of belligerency exists between the
Czecho-Slovaks and the German and Austro-
Hungarian empires and that the Czecho-Slovak
national council is de facto belhgerent gov
eminent clothed with proper authority to direct
the military and political affairs Of the Czecho-
Slovaks. It has also recognized in the fullest
manner the justice Of the nationalstic aspir-
atoms Of the Jugo-Slavs for freedom
"The President is, therefore, no longer at
liberty to accept the mere autonomy of these
peoples as basis Of peace, but is obliged to in
sist that they, and not he, shall be the judges
Of what action on the part of the Austro- Hun
garian government will satisfy their aspirations
and their conception Of their rights and destiny
as members Of the family Of nations.
accept, sir, the renewed assurances Of my
highest consideration.

and Of it's own single choice distrub the peace of
the world. To this the German government
replies:
Hitherto the representation of the people in
the German empire has not been endowed with
an influence on the formation Of the govern
ment.
"The constitution did not provide for con-
currence Of representation Of the people in de-
cisions Of peace and war. These conditions
have just now undergone fundamental change
A new government has been formed in complete
accordance with the wishes (principlesO of the
representation of the people based on equal uni
versal, secret direct franchise.
'The leaders of the great parties of the
reichstag are members of this government. In
the future no government can take or continue
in office without possessing the confidence of a
majority of the reichstag.
''The responsibility Of the chancellor of the
empire to the representatives of the people is be-
ing legally developed and safeguarded. The
first act Of the new government has been to lay
before the reichstag a bill to alter the constl-
tuition Of the empire so that the consent of the
representatives of the people is required for de-
cisions on war and peace.
"The permanence of the new system is, how
ever, guaranteed not only by constitutional safe
guards, but also by the unshakable determine
ton Of the German people whose vast majority
stands behind these reforms and demand their
energetic continuance.
''The question Of the president-with whom
he and the governments associated against Ger
many are dealing is. therefore answered in a
clear, unequivocal manner by the statement that
the offer Of peace and an armistice has come
from a government which is free from any ar
bitrary and irresponsible influence and is sup
jority Of the German people.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN
A SUCCESS

Exact figures as to the outcome of the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign, which closed Saturday
night, will not be ascertained for several days.
Earliest reports indicated that about 25, 000,-
900 people participated as subscribers, and that
the $6,O00,OO0,OO0 goal was passed by several
hundred Millions Later reports from Wash
ington however, state that these early messages
appear too optimistic in the light Of actual fig
ures. There can be no doubt, however, that the
nation, as whole, oversubscribed by a good
margin.

estimated conservatively at %, 100000

News of The World
GERMANY'S REPLY
&C. B. W.

The text of the German note as received by
wireless in Washington via London, on October
q, is as follows:
In accepting the proposal for an evacuation
of occupied territories the German government
has started from the assumption that the pro-
cedure OF this evacuation and of the conditions
of an armistice should be left to the Judgment
Of the military advisers and that the actual
standard OF power on both sides in the field has
to form the basis for arrangements safeguard
ing and guaranteeing this standard.
1.-The German government suggests to the
president that an opportunity should be brought
about for fixing the details. It trusts that the
president Of the United States will approve Of
no demand which would be irreconclable with
the honor of the German people and with open
ing way to peace of justice
"The German government protests against
the reproach Of illegal and inhumane actions
made against the German land and sea forces
and thereby against the German people. For
the covering Of retreat distinctions will al
ways be necessary, and they are carried out in
so far as is permitted by international law. The
German troops are under most strict instruc-
lions to spare private property and to exercise
for the population to the best of their abil-
ity. Where transgressions occur in spite Of
these instructions the guilty are being punished.
'The German government further denies that
the German navy in sinking ships has ever pur-
posely destroyed lfeboats with their passen-
gers. The German government proposes with
regard to all those charges that the facts be
cleared up by neutral commissions
{" In order to avoid anything that might ham,
per the work Of peace, the German government
has caused orders to be dispatched to all sub
marine commanders precluding the torpedoing
of passenger ships without, for technical rea-
sons being able to guarantee that these orders
will reach every single submarine at sea before
it's return.
AS a fundamental condition for peace the
president prescribes the destruction Of every
arbitrary power that can separately, secretly

FASTENING PREPARATIONS FOR
AFTER-WAR TRADE

According to the New York Times Financial
Review, the advice is being sent to manufac-

Supplies, food, clothing, shoes, steel, building
