Party Leaders Reject Islands
Off" Resolution, and
Will Carry On.

CHICAGO. Sept. A resolution pro-
posing that the Prohibition party "hare
no connection with the so-called world
work. was rejected late to-day by the
national committee of the party after a
heated debate. In It's place an amend
ment was adopted recommending that
individual members of the party be
urged to "give active assistance in the
world prohibition work through the in
strumentality of the Prohibition Founda-
ton"
The foundation is an organization
COMPOSED of prohibition party members.
The national committee adjourned its
two day meeting tonight without out
lining definite policy for the future OF
the party. 1t adopted a resolution
authorizing a national convention at a
time and place to be determined by the
executive committee. Speakers said II
should be understood that the conyen-
ton would be held subsequent to- the
conventions of the Republicans and
Democrats, and that action taken by the
prohibitionists would be determined to a
large extent by the courses pursued by
the two major parties.
A resolution was adopted recommend
ing that the party unite with other
parties 'when for the good of the
cause"
A large part OF the discussion over
participation in foreign prohibition
fights hinged on a peouniary angle. Vir-
gil G. Hinshaw. chairman, and others
asserted that tho party would be un-
able to obtain funds except on the
ground OF carrying on world work. An
impression was prevalent. they admitted
that the work of the party in this coun-
try was finished.

CIemeneeau Writes Note.


The note transmittign the allied re-
ply to the observations Of the Austrian
delegation on the conditions of peace,
addressed to Karl Renner and signed
by Nj. Clemenceau, as president Of the
council, follows:
Draft of the covering letter: %
The allied and associated Powers have
gtvenI most careful consideration to the
observations of the Austrian delegation
on the draft treaty of peace. The re-
ply of the Austrian delegation objects
to the draft treaty on the grounds that
in view of the dissolution of the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy Austria ought not
to be treated as an enemy State at all
and that in consequence she ought not to
be made In any special way inheritor of
responsibilities in regard to repara-
ton, to which the Austro- Hungarian
monarchy would undoubtedly be liable,
did it still exist
AS these observations point to fun
damental misconception OF the res 1onsi,
btlities of the people of Austria, the
allied and associated Powers feel it nee
essary to state as briefly as NAV be
the principles which they consider must
be applied to the settlement of the late
war so far as Austria is concerned.
The people of Austria, together with
their neighbors, the people OF Hungary,
bear in peculiar degree responsibility
for the calamities which have befallen
Europe during the last 1--WE years.
THE war was precipitated by an ulti-
matum presented to Serbia by the Gov
ernment at Vienna, and requiring ac-
ceptance within forty-eisht hours of a
series of demands, which amounted to
the destruction of the Independence of
neighboring sovereign State. The
Royal Government of Serbia accepted
within the prescribed time all the de-
mands except those which involved the
virtual surrender of its independence.
yet the then Austro-H Hungarian Gov
eminent, refusing all offers OF a confer
eRee Of conciliation on the basis OF that
reply, Immediately openetd hostillties
against Serbia, thereby deliberately set
ting light to a train which led directly
to universal war.
at is now evident that this ultimatum
was no more than an insncere excuse
for beginning a war for which the late
autocFatie Government at Vienna, in
! close association with the rulers OF Ger
