The text of the note answering Aus
tria-Hungary's request for an armis-
tice, handed to the Swedish minister,
is as follows:
Sir: | have the honor to acknoWl-
edge the receipt of yonr note of the
seventh instant, in which you trans
nit communication of the imperial
and royal government of Austria Hun
gary to the President | am now in
structed 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 Austro-Hungarian govern
ment that he cannot entertain the
present suggestions of that govern
ment because of certain events OF ut
most importance which, CccGring since
the delivery of his address of the
eighth of January list, have necessari-
ly altered the attitude and RESPONSE
bility of the government Of the United
States. Among the fourteen terms of
peace which the President formulated
at that time occurred the following:
'X--The peoples of Austro-Hun-
gary, whose place among the nations
we wish to see safeguarded and as
slred, should be accorded the freest
opportunity of autonomous develop
ment.'
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-10-19

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 belhgerency exists between
the Czecho-Slovaks and the German
and hungarian empires and
that the Czecho-Slovak national coun-
Gil is a de facto belligerent govern
ment clothed with proper authority to
direct the military and political affairs
of the Czecho-Slovaks. 1t has also
recognized in the fullest manner the
justice of the nationallstic aspirations
Of the Jugo Slavs for freedom.
"The president is, therefore, no
longer at liberty to accept the mere
autonomy of these peoples as a
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-Hungarian government
will satisfy their aspirations and their
conception cf their rights and destiny
as members Of the family of nations
Accept, sir, the renewed assurance
Of my highest consideration,
(Signed) ROBERT LANSING"

Lansing also made public the official

$4,000 OVER
ITS LOAN QUOTA
County Holds Place as One Of
Top Counties-Billion to be
Raised in u. S.

Two weeks ago today Wayne
county's Liberty Loan quota of s2.
400, 600 was fully subscribed, the coun
ty hcing the seventeenth in Indiana to
'go over the top"
Today, the closing of the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign, found Wayne
county still going over with a total
subscription of approximately S2,460,
600, or 100000 in excess of the requir
ed amount.
There were indications that the
county's total on the final compila
ton of bank returns may give an over
subscription of $4,000 or more. The
rush at all Richmond banks today was
highly encouraging for this result
Tonight Richmond banks will be open
and will receive Liberty Loan sub
scriptions up to the closing hour.
There are numerous citizens today
who increased subscriptions former

the need of the hour. but a good and
timely business stroke at the same
time. There were numerous other

this list will be increased tonight.
One of First Over.
Wayne county maintained its place
among the top counties of Indiana
being one of the first five of the larg-
er counties in the state to reach it's
quota and achieving its goal many
days ahead of several counties of
equal population. Wayne county S
total was reached with no large sub
scriptionS, comparatively speaking
The largest single individual sub
scription was for 100000, There were
two for $4,000 each, several rangN g
from $4,000 to $4,000 and the great
bulk ranged from $50 to 81 1000 In
Delaware county, of which Munc!e is
the county seat, there was subscrip-
tion of $3.50 600 from one corporation.
Delaware county's quota was not as
large as Wayne county's by $4,000,
yet Wayne reached it's goal with small
subscriptions as compared with Della
ware.
The total subscribers in the county
will approximate 5000 or a trifle less
than 20 per cent of the population as
hased on the census of 1910 which is
required by the National Liberty loan
organization. The per capita sub
scription for the county in this loan
was about $51, higher average than
that attained in past loans. The av-
erage subscription for the 5000 citi-
zens who bought bonds was over 500.
The record that Wayne county
made in this loan will compare fav-
eia bly, with any in the state. a result
that reflects the patriotic spirit of the
citizenship as a whole. There We're

and in the city of Richmond, but their
failure to do their bit did not COM

are moving eastward toward Tournai
