The Jews have suffered for centuries, but 'hose 3.000,000 have 0: undergone torture for four years?during the war. ?j. They are crying to America for .aid. The Jewish people in the United States have given for the aid of their people in the war zone i almost to the limit. They have likewise given to all other war chad- j ties. They should nor be left alone in 'heir struggle to save and protect 3,000,000 members of their family In the war zone. All our people should aid.

Besult of Agreement. Baron Burian's statement to the for- j cign affairs committee that Germany will make the constitutional modifica tions necessary to realize the demand for a democratic form of government and abdication of military oontrol, la j \ yarded as clearly indicating the Au?- { \,rlaii purpose to do likewise. Events ure moving in the same direction in Turkey, where the sultan has dectared t?.>r a representative government, so that tiit- conclusion Is irresistible that the . -?whole program of constitutional reform . now under Is the result of an grecment j between the three allies to meet one of J - the president's conditions for a cessa- j tion of hostilities. Baron Burian's statement that Gcr- j many will be in a position to accept the ; president's demands regarding the hu- j manization of the war. appears to be , borne out In a measure by reports from the battle front in Belgium and north- I ern Prance that the Germans are not j looting and destroying private prop- ; erty as heretofore. If this is followed : by the abandonment of submarine at- j tacks on merchant shipping, officials , feel that the principal obstacle in the way of an adjustment will be found ! only In the arrangement of an armistice, j TSfo Time to Dictate. There Is no doubt that the Germans ; will make a desperate effort to resist J the anr.ounoed purpose of the president [ to leave the terms of an armistice to j the military commanders of the Amerl- I can and allied forces, and It may be 1 some time before they are sufficiently i humbled In spirit to admit that It Is j not for them to dictate, but simply to : accept such terms as these military commanders may choosb to Impose. In fact. Baron Burian's address before the Austrian committee is jtaken to indicate i clearly that Germany desires to enter ' Into negotiations on these points and . cling obstinately to Its plan of a j mixed commission to deal with the mat- ? ter of evacuation. j _ I Burlon Sees Peace. AMSTERDAM. Oct. IT.?Baron Burlan. the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister. 1 addressing the Fojelgn affairs commit-' tee of the Austrian delegations on | ?Wednesday, said that he had not yet re- J calved President Wilson's reply to Aus- , tria. He added: *7n th? discussion 6f such documents ; w? always establish an agreement with Germany." j Baron Burlan said that after n. core- ; ful examination of President Wilson's j reply to Germany, nothing could Induce j him to change his statement of the; previous day that "at no far distant date we will reach a cessation of hos tilities on ail fronts and enter nego tiations for the conclusion of a gen eral, lasting and just peace." The technical questions and condi tions of an armistice, with which President "Wilson dealt thoroughly, are questions mostly of military intorest, the baron declared, and "it Is a mat ter of course that the negotiations and decisions of an' armistice will dejrtmd on miltary factors." Repeating that Austria was striv ing for peace by understanding. Baron llurian concluded by saying that the Central Powers would refer with em phasis to President Wilson's statement that "future peace must not be a peace by force." AMSTERDAM. Oct. IT.?It Is report ed in Vienna, according to the Tager blatt. that President Wilson's reply to Austria-Hungary was known in Berlin on Tuesday evening. The TagobLatt re marks: "Why its contents were publshed neither in Vienna or Washington does not appear." WASHINGTON". Qcjt. 17.?President Wilson's reply to Austria-Hungary's peace proffer has not yet been dis patched. it was said tonight, officially. There was no expectation that the re ply would he sent until Germany had definitely answered the President's note of last Monday. BASEL, Switzerland, Oct. 17.?Baron Burian. the Austro-Hungarian for eign minister, spoke in the most opti mistic manner of the prospects for an early peace in addressing the foreign affairs committee o^-the Austrian dele gation at 'its meeting on Wednesday, says a Vienna dispatch. "I nourish the hope today most fully." said the foreign minister In this connection, "for if the contents of President Wilson's reply are studied there is nothing to be found to frus trate such a hope or even to delay Its realization considerably." "The political points In President Wilson's reply are settled." Boron Bu rian declared, "as Germany's reply will undoubtedly establish, by the modifi cations which are being made in the constitution." LONDON. Oct. 17.?Comment from the German newspapers circulated by the German wireless service gives an inter esting vision of peaco as the German writers imagine it. All the newspapers of the country are in favor of such of President Wilson's points as the freedom of navigation, renunciation of the boy cott weapon and the "new conception of the character of the colonies." The Germans not only look forward to freedom of navigation in peace, but want the same freedom in war. so that their mercantile marine may escape the consequences of someone else controll ing the seas. The boycott weapon ap parently fills Germany with the greatest anxiety. Colonial questions also loom largely In all her plans. , The Franfort Zeitung says: "Presi dent Wilson encourages us to make sac rlflces, but It Is also ho, who will fight for the freedom of our trado and the freedom of navigation, ancj will thereby fight for exceedingly valuable pieces of the German future." / Divine Right to Discard,* BERNE, Switzerland, Oct. 17.?Com | meriting on President Wilson's latest j note to Germany, the New Zurich j | Gazette says: "The last hour of the divine right of I kings has come.

People WlU Act, ZURICH, Switzerland, Oct. 17.?"The count's declared, but the representatives j | of the people will conclude peace," the I i Socialist newspaper, Arbclter Zeitung of I I Vienna, saya in a current article on the situation created by the Teutonic peace proposals and the replies to them. "Count Bertchhold, Count Tlzza and ] Count Von Hoetzendorf," continues the J | newspaper, "decided upon a punitive ex j pedttlon against Serbia, little thinking j they, wero conducting tho ancient em-J > plro of the Hapsburg to an abyss." Count Bertchhold was the Austro-1 1 Hungarian foreign minister at the out- , break of the war in If 14 and Count Tlzza was the Hungarian premier. Field Marshal Baron Conrad Von Hoetzendorf was the chief of the Austro-Hungarian staff up to last July, when he resigned. Pe?*lmi?tio View. AMSTERDAM, Wednesday, Oeto. 16.?
