ALLIED ULTIMATUM
Answers Demand for Change
in NeU Constitution.

PARIS, Sept. 6.-The German reply to
the Supreme Councils note informing
Germany that she must alter Article 81
Of her constitution. giving Austria rep
resentation in the German Parliament,
because such a proyiso was contrary to
the stipulations Of the Versailles treaty,
was handed to Paul Dutasta, general
secretary OF the Peace Conference, this
morning. The German note was signed
by Ernest, Schmidt Of the German mis-
sion at Versailles, in the absence of
Baron Kurt Won Lersner. head of the
German delegation, who is in Berlin.
The general opinion among the dele
gates in Paris is that the German reply
is highly evasive and that the confer
ence will not be inclined to accept any
thing short OF actual elimination from
the Constitution OF the section con-
templatlng union with Austria.
summary of the German reply to
the allied<note was given out in Berlin
on September 8. The note set forth,
said the summary. that the German
peace delegation informed the Allies on
May ~ that while Germany had no In
tention of attempting to change the
Austro-G German boundaries by violence
she could not undertake to oppose a
German Austrian spontaneous desire for
union with Germany Acknowledge
ment by the Allies Oh June I6 of the
receipt of this communication led Ger
many to feel authorized, the note added,
to insert Article 81 In the constitution.
Article 80 Of the Versailles treaty pro-
hibits German interference in Austrian
affairs.
The Councils note demanded the sup
preston of the Objectionable article in
the German constitution within a fort
night, failing which the Allies gave no.

shown are exclusive Of $107 ,000, 600 or
gold 'in transit or in custody of foreign
countries" and the amount of gold re-
ceived in payment for food supplied TO
the German Government. That gold
when received and held earmarked Tor
Federal Reserve banks by the Bank OF
England, will increase their gold re-
serves and thus bring about rise In
their reserve percentage.

More Than Promise Needed.
And there is no other way to dis
pense with great ornaments except
by the common agreement OF the
fighting nations of the world And
here IS the agreement. They promise
disarmament, and promise to agree
upon plan. But there was some
tring else we wanted that Is accom-
plished by this treaty. We wanted
to destroy autocratic authority every
where in the world. We wanted to
see TO 1t that there was no place in
the world where a small group OF
men could use their fellow citizens as
pawns in a game; that there was no
place in the world where a small
group of men, without consulting
their fellow citizens, could send their
fellow citizens to the battlefield and
to deal in accomplishing something
dynastic, some political plan that had
been conceived In private, some OBJ
ject that had been prepared for by
universal. worldwide intrigue. That
Is what we wanted 20 accomplish.
The most startling thing that de-
veloped itself at the opening of our
participation In this war was not the
military preparation OF Germhny-we
were familiar with that. though we
had been dreaming that she would
not use it-but her political prepara-
ton to find that every community In
the civilized world was penetrated by
her intrigue. The German people

MAY CALL OFF BIG
 SOFT COAL STRIKE
Leaders Admit That Action Will Be Postponed If Conference Shows
 Signs of Agreement.

 Tho official striko call, issued bv Acting President John L. Lewis, was sent out yesterday afternoon to the more than 4,000 local unions, and plans for making the strike effective are taking form at headquarters.
 MT. Lewis left late yesterday for Washington in response to the request or Secretary Wilson for a conference. MT. Wilson announced last night that Thomas T, Brewster. president of the Coal Operators association, would represent the employers at the con- ference.
 Mine workers officials here ad- m1tted that should negotiations be re- sumed with possibility of final agree ment, 1t was likely that the strike would be called off pending the fina! outcome, even if the deliberations eStended beyond November i.

Wall Street, 1O:3O a. m.-Motors and their specialties, together with oils, were the foremost issues at the opening of today's stock market shipping and food shares also figuring in the irregular advance. Bethlehem motors was the most conspicuous feature its initial transa ction consist ing of 10000 shares at a gain of 2 IA points, Mexican Petroleum rose al most 3 points and Marine pfd., and American International gained 1 and 1 1-2 points respectively. Steels and equipments also rails, were varia ble at the outset, but the general list tended higher within the first half hour.
 NOon-Standard shares were ne glected in the movements of specula- tive issues during the first hour. The automobile group and oils continued to monopolize the attention of pools at further substantial gains and several new records. Later seasoned industrials moved forward under lead of Bethlehem, Republic and U. S.
