ing in detail governmental changes,
which have taken place in Germany
as evidence that the Kaiser us been

ing that the stage Of personal appeals
has passed. with the transmission of
their armistice and peace plea to the
allies, It reiterates that the actual
power and responsibility Of govern
ment has been transferred to the
Reichstag and describes the progress
Of necessary constitutional changes.
The note probably will be forward
ed Immediately to Paris where the
supreme war council already is re-
ported to have formulated terms upon
which the United States and allies
might permit the cessation of hostili-
tie.
As word of the new German note
came. it was learned that president
Wilson was working today on the re.
ply to the latest note from Vienna IN
which Austria accepted all the prin-
ciples and conditions of the President
and asked for armistice and peace
proposals, the reply to which probably
will be. made public before night 1t
is expected informally in Vienna that
on the basis of acceptance Of all con-
ditions. including actual independence
for subject nationalities, their re-
quest has been referred to the allied
governments
