Appeal to Secretary.
FOR PRESIDENTS ACTION
By (he Associated Press.
VIENNA, via Basel, Switzerland,
October 29.?Austria-Hungary through
her new foreign minister, Count An
drassy, has sent a note to Secretary
of State Lajising requesting the Sec
retary's intervention with President
Wilson for an immediate armistice
on all fronts and for the commence
ment of peace negotiations. The note
says:
"Immediately after having taken di
rection of the ministry of foreign af
fairs and after the dispatch of the
official answer to your note of Oo
tober 18, 1918, by which you were
able to see that we accept all the
! points and principles laid down by
l President Wilson in his various deo
i larations and are in complete accord
with the efforts of President Wilson
to prevent future wars and to create
a leaprue of nations, we have taken
preparatory measures ir order that
Austrians and Hungarians may be
able, according to their own deatre
and without being in any way hin
dered, to make a decision aa to their
future organization and to rule it.
"Since the accession to power of
Emperor King Charles his immovable
purpose has been to bring an end to
the war. Mors than rr?r this I* the
desire of the sovereign of ?H the
Auatro-Hungarlao people* Who ac
knowledge that their future deotlny
aan only be Mmmpliahtd In a paclflo

Mr. Secretary of State, praying that
yon will hay* the coodnees to Inter
vene with the President of the United
States. In order that. In the Interest of
humanity, aa In the interest of all
thoee who live la Austria-Hungary, an
Immediate armistice may he concluded
on all fronts, and for an overture that
Immediately negotiations for peace
will follow."
The Auatro-Huagartan government
has communicated Its lateat note to
the French. British. Japanese and
Italian governments, begging the
approval and support of these nations.
"Hot Necessarily Separate Peace."
BASEL, Switzerland, October St.?A
semi-official note issued at Vienna to
day on Austria's reply to President
Wilson says:
"Austria was obliged to conform to
the methods of President Wilson, who
had successively replied to the three
members of the triple alliance, and
act apart from her allies. The mon
archy. which has formally adopted
President Wilaon'a line of action,
aharea hla opinion, as was shown by
the emperor's manifesto to the peo
ples. which, in proclaiming the fed
eralization of the monarchy, exceeded
President Wilson's program.
"However, the complete reorganiza
tion of Austria can only be carried
out after an armistice. It Austria
Hungary has declared herself ready
to enter into negotiations for an ar
mistice and for peace, without await
ing the result of negotiations with
other states, that does not necessarily
signify an offer of a separate peace. It
means that she Is ready to act sepa
rately in the Interests of the re-es
tablishment of peace."

RAILROAD EQUIPMENT
ISHD BY ALLIES
Contracts Already Placed by War
Department for Cars for
France and Italy.
Scores of thousands of .freight cars
are needed by France and Italy. Great
Britain will also require much rolling
stock to meet her needs at the close
ef the war. Already contracts for
40,000 freight cars for use by Prance
and 80,000 for Italy have been closed
through the War Department.
It was explained that the needs of
peace will be even greater than the
needs of war. New railroads must be
built in France to take the place of
those destroyed by the Germans, and
with the reconstruction and rebuild
ing of demolished cities ..it will be
necessary to have large increases in
railroad rolling stock.
Meed Aid of United States.
The mills of England and France
will not be equal to meeting the im
mediate demands and America must
come to the rescue. Thousands of
freight cars that were in use at the
beginning of the war are no longer
usable and must be scrapped. The
same can be said of engines and pas
senger cars. They have been so
strenuously used as gaeatly to
shorten their lives.
It was announced today that the rail
road administration would co-operate
with the railway administrations of
other countries in rushing cars, engines
and other railway equipment to the
allies. This increased equipment is
necessary in France especially. With
out it the reconstruction of destroyed
towns and devastated land will be
greatly delayed.
It is said to be the intention of the
French government to rebuild every de
molished town, and to do so with the
Utmost speed. It is expected, how
ever, that vanquished Germany will
pay the bilL But America must supply
a large part of the material.

Lives as Hermit for Months
Before Discovery?"Battle"
Today at Meade.
^
CAMP MEADE, Md., October 30.?
A soldier who was so anxloua to ea
Icape service when his unit moved
northward to ?n embarkation point
that he stole the rags from a scare
crow and lived the life of a hermit
for months was picked up at Glen
burnle by the military police and Is
now at the base hospital here, pend
ing an investigation of .his case.
For the past few weeks he has been
living In woods near Jessups and
eating what he could find In the
fields, possibly begging some food in
remote parts of the county.
Was Weak and 'Emaciated.
He admitted to the military police
that his name, was Joe Thomas, as
indicated by a letter from his sister,
found in his pocket. The soldier was
so weak and emaciated that he could
scarcely talk. His arms and legs
were shrunken like those of an in
valid, and his shoes were full of
straw, indicating that he had lived
most of the time in the haystacks
and straw piles in fields. How he
managed to keep alive with so little
flesh left upon his bones struck the
medical men as a mystery.
The letter from the sister was from
Mill Creek, N. C.
Thomas had a long red beard and
his hair Indicated that it had not
been cut for three months or more.
The rags of the scarecrow which
Thomas had appropriated were about
to fall off. The uniform was the
heavy wool such as is worn over
seas and is rarely issued here at this
season.
One Death. From Pneumonia.
Only one death from pneumonia fol
lowing influenza was on the latest re
port from the base hospital. The last
of the men to die of the disease was
Private Byron Buchanan, 93? M street
northwest, Washington, D. C.
Officers of high rank from Washing
ton, including some who are taking a
special course at the Army War Col
lege: experts of many kinds, including
members of the British and French
war missions and many of the Ameri
cans back from overseas, are on hand
for a big battle demonstration this
afternoon. The chief feature will be
a machine gun barrage from guns
that have been so placed as to defy
the eye of a passing observer on foot,
as well as the supposed enemy avia
tors. This machine gun emplacement
job was carried out by infantrymen
and engineers, with the squad in com
mand of Sergt. Arthur P. Harding of.
Company F.
Will TTse Camouflaged Baby Tank.
A baby tank, camouflaged like a
leopard, arrived for the battle. It Is a
speedy and spunky little fighting ma
chine. It rumbled, banged and smash
ed along: at such a rat* that It wouM
require fast double-quick time for the
infantry to keep up with It. The tank
had ugly looking machine guns and a
cannon to show that !t was meant
more for business than for pleasure.
The tank is playing its part in the big
battle on the program for the whole
afternoon in the broad fields and val
leys out beyond the base hospital.
