Text of Count Andrassy's
Appeal For Peace
VIENNA, via Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 30 Austria-Hungary, through
her new foreign minister, Count Andrassy, has sent the following note to
Secretary of State Lansing, requesting the Secretary's intervention with
President Wilson for an immediate armistice on all fronts and for the
commencement of peace negotiations:
MmerXh
The Avenue at Ninth.
''
"Immediately after having
taken direction of the ministry
of foreign affairs and after the
dispatch of the official answer
to your note of October 18. 1918,
by which you were able to see
that we accept all the points and
principles laid down by Presi
dent Wilson in his various
declarations and are in complete
accord with the efforts of Presi
dent Wilson to prevent future
wars and to create a league of
nations, we have taken prep
aratory measures in order that
Austrians and Hungarians may
be able, according to their own
desire and without being in any
way hindered, to make a de
cision as to their future organ
ization 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. More
than ever this is the desire to
the sovereign of all the Austro
Hungarian peoples, who ac
knowledged that their future
destiny ran only be accomplish
ed in a pacific world, by being
freed from all disturbances,
privations, and sorrows of war.
"This is why I address you
directly, Mr. Secretary of State,
praying that you will have the
goodness to intervene with the
President of the United States
in order that in the interest of
humanity, as in the interest of
all those who live in Austria
Hungary, an immediate armis
tice may be concluded on all
fronts, and for an overture that
immediately negotiations for
peace will follow."

a last-minute effort to persuade the
President that the Kaisers powers
had been effectually shorn and that
armistice dealings would, in reality,
be with the German people not the
Hohenzollerns.
How the government regards the
sincerity of the explanations Is not
available today.
ALLIES TO DEMAND
CAPTIVES' RELEASE
LONDON; Oct. 30. The immediate
and unconditional release of all
prisoners of war In enemy countries,
will be one of the allies armistice
terms, according to Sir George Cave,
British home secretary. In an ad
dress before the House of Commons
he declared that he had the best
reason for believing that the British
government' would Insure this condition.
Sir George declared that the. bar.
barous treatment of British prisoners
of war is -atlll going on today in
some of the German camps. Since
November, 1916. he declared, 2.000
prisoners of all allied nations bad
died in enemy camps.
in case Germany does not reply
favorably to the allied demands Sir
George asserted "we would be en
titled to take reprisals (on German
prisoners) within certain duly pre
scribed limits."
render of Austria-Hungary, it is un
derstood, and the complete evacuation
by military and political forces of
the HapiburK regime of all Czecho
slovak, Polish, Jugo-Slar, and Italian
territories.
Representatives of the oppressed
nationalities were of the opinion, that
this last demand meant the relinquish
ment by Vienna of control over ap
proximately 70 per cent of the present
boundaries or .the dual monarchy.
That Vienna already has made
proposals to the cxecno-siovak na
tionals at Prague for conveyance to
the national council' here was Indi
cated in an interview at Gen
eva between Deputy Kramarez,
leader of the Czecho-SIovak move
ment within Bohemia and Moravia,
and Czech Foreign Minister Benes,
now representative of the council at
Paris.

This wise mother knows that the best and safest way to relieve a

sign of a white tongue, a feverish breath or a. sour stomach.
Children love Cascarets because of the candy taste. Nothing else
"works" the nasty bile, sour fermentations and poisons from the little
liver and bowels so gently yet so thoroughly. Each 10 cent box of
Cascarets has directions for children aged one year old and upwards.
JOINT COUNCIL
AGREES ON TERMS
VERSAILLES, Oct. 30. It was an
ticipated today that the armistice
terms to Germany will be similar to
thoso offered Bulgaria, although ex
tra precautions will be necessary and
there may be some harsher clauses.
The Interallied conference Is under
stood to have already agreed on the
main political points of the armistice.
The terms must be severe. It was
agreed In authoritative circles, be
cause Germany began the war, me
renewal of which must be Impossible.
CoL E. M. House, representing the
United States, has called on President
Poincare and conferred with other
French leaders. He also has received
Greek Premier Venlzelos and the
Greek minister to France.
House has moved from the hotel
where he first stopped, and i.ow Is
occupying a residence on the left
bank of the Seine, loaned by a friend,
and located in the old aristocratic
quarter near the house General Persh
Ing lives In when he Is In Paris.
United States Signal Corps men are
Installing telephones In the building,
and Parisians remark that an air of
permanency surrounds Colonel
House's establishment there.
Few eblleve the lnteralled confer
ence will last more than one week
Clnce the allies already have reached
an agreement, little remains to be
done except the. drawing up of the
conference's verdict in official form
for the representatives' signatures.
LONDON EXPECTS
BERLIN TO ACCEPT
LONDON, Oct. 30. The terms npon
which Germany can have an armistice
and also peace probably will .be made
known very soon. The terms have
been agreed upon by the Versailles
inter-allied war council. It was

London believes Germany undoubt

and peace terms. It Is known that
Germany- really has been trying to
stop the operations of her U-boats.

confirmation, lit nas gained wide cir
culation during recent days.
There la nothing to prevent the
President's going. The Constitution
makes nd stipulations on the point.
Precedent alone has guided the ac
tion of previous Executives and it is
notable that President Wilson has
broken many precedents.
Owing to his high position, it was
remarked in embassy- circles that the
President, If he went to the con
ference, probably would be mads
chairman of the neaee Catherine-..
Should he go, 'the Constitution pro
vides that during the period of his
absence the Vice President would di
rect the executive work of the 'White
House. It would be the first time in
the history bt the nation that a Presi
dent had visited Europe If the con
ference is held there whUe in office.
Colonel Roosevelt, however, went to
Panama while President.
The rumors have found particular
sympathy among diplomats of the
smaller countries here who enthu
siastically have applauded his course
toward Austria and his expressions
on the rights of small nations.
Incidentally, this tivw gossip add
ed xest to discussion here because of
the President's ?TcnoVh, conviction
that the doors of thr-Beace conclave
should be swung vU to the public
and all covenants should be arrived
at openly.

ALLIED COUNCIL TO
STICK TO 14 POINTS
The Versailles conference will
agree- to adhere to President Wilson's
fourteen basic peace points.
This was stated In authoritative
American official and entente diplo
matic quarters today. As a corollary
to this basic acceptance, the question
of an armistice Has been given over
to the military advisers. These
armistice terms are expected during
the forthcoming week.
Any differences as to application
of the President's fourteen points will
be threshed out In the final peace ad
justment, it was said..
It was emphasized that the Ver
sailles conference will close with a
completely united diplomatic front.
It was said there will be prompt
conclusion of the Important negotia
tions at Versailles, as the conferees
there are now evidently In full ac
cord on the general underlying prin
ciples of peace and armistice terms.
The armistice terms probably already
have been submitted formally to the
military advisers for final formula
tion. Their slate was practically written
In advance, and the terms thereof are
as outlined before. However, one
point still remains obscure here,
namely, the extent to which the naval
demands will go.
The original ticket was that Ger
many would have to clve up her sub
marine fleet and permit occupation of
her grand fleet pending the outcome
or the flnal.peace negotiations. British
pressure may have altered that, for
press dispatches from aoroaa now
suggest that surrender of not only
the U-boats but the grand neet wm
be required.
