COPENHAGEN", Oct. 19. (Special.)
The Vbrwaerts says the reply of Presl
dent Wilson to the peace overtures by
Germany was the subject of detailed
discussion by the war cabinet in Ber
lin on Thursday.
Prince Maximilian, the Chancellor,
presided.
Statements were received from the
military commanders. Severay days may
elapse before another note may be com
pleted. Members of the Bundersat have
been consulted in the matter.
The meeting- of the Reichstag was
postponed because the note was not
ready.
The Germans have been so numbed
by the catastrophes tumbling about
their heads that they are apparently
unable to react to Austria-Hungary out
of the war and the turn of the Slavs
and Czech people against the central
powers.
The Hamburger Fremdenblatt ac
knowledges that Emperor Carl of Aus
tria remains only as supervising direc
tor of new federated states and casts
considerable doubt on the willingness
or the states to federate.
Solntloa Merely Promised.
The difficulties are so many, the
newspaper says, that It finds In the Em
perors proclamation no solution of the
troubles, but merely a promise of a so
lution. .It says the Emperor Is unbur
dening himself of tradition and is eld
ing with President Wilson.
The connection between the new fed
eration and the hope of peace Is easily
seen, the Fremdenblatt adds, resigning
Itself to the impending breakup of the
Austrian Empire.
The Czechs and Ukranians, with no
guidepost in Vienna, count on outside
forces to help them construct independ
ent states. Nor will the Poles let their
future be decided in Vienna. Emperor
Carl says he will not try to prevent
their independence.
The editorial ends by saying the Ger
mans view with sorrow the passing of
the Austrian Empire.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Vossiche Zeitung telegraphs that the
Czechs, Southern Slavs and Ukranians
liKve politely refused to meet with
Baron von Hussarek to discuss the for
mation of a federation and that the
Poles are counting on Warsaw for ori
entation. Old Austria Vanishes.
"Old historical Austria is gone," says
the Vorwaerts, now the administration
paper. "Will a new Austria follow?
The Poles are free to leave Austria-, but
perhaps the Austrian Polish sentiment
is not dead. The fact that they are no
longer bound to the house of Hapsburg
may lurmsn the best argument for a
Polish King- from that house. The
Czechs and South Slavs are taking new
attitudes of reserve,
"Herman Austria must lean on Ger
many should a new economic union
prove impracticable. The Czechs and
Slavs will certainly demand the forma
tion of separate states if the Hungari
ans do not And a basis for rapid agree
ment with the entente.
"It is incomprehensible how they can
resist the demand of the Czechs and
Slavs who are supported by President
"Wilson."
The Vossiche Zeitung admits that
Poland is seething. It has a dispatch
telling briefly of the killing of Ger
man gendarmes in Warsaw. There is
revolt in Ciechanow, where the Ger
mans have imposed penalties and taken
hostages to check further outbreaks.
Worklnsmea Are Warned.
Today's issue of the Vorwaertx
spreads over the front page a warning
to workingmen which is significantly
remindful of the early phases of the
ltussian revolution. It shows that the
new government fears both the Pan
Uerman reactionaries and the Bolshe
viki, and it confirms the impression'
conveyed by the German press in the
last few days that the moderate liberals
who are behind the new government
are sincere In their expressions of fear
that extreme action of some sort will
follow continuous military defeat.
Vorwaertx, which, as the organ of
the majority of the Socialists, has come
warmly to the support of the new gov
ernment, has an editorial explaining
why the Moderate Socialists see salva
tion for Germany in the Maximilian
Alinistry. The ministry is staking all
on an armistice and on democratization
and the paper says warningly: "Dark
forces of counter revolution are at war
against this peaceful revolution," in a
caution against reactionaries and also
against the Bolsheviki. . The editorial
continues:
People Held Dmivei
Tan-Germans. Chauvinists, fanatics,
profiteers and irresponsible camarilla
with mendacious posters and high
sounding palaver have enveloped the
Gcinian people in a cloud of lies. They
have not reached the limit of their in
famy by trying to turn anger against
the new movement The Pan-Germans
have become so bitter that possibly
they will Induce agrarian elements to
i'oease the difficult.es of the new
iroernmen'. by w ithholding foodstuffs."
Dealing with the other type of coun
ter revolutionists the Vorwaerts warns
workincmen against Bolshevik phrases
demanding revolution mado by irre
sponsible people who hope to stir up
the working people to . strikes and
demonstrations against the govern
ment, thereby making peace and demo
cratization more difficult and also
thereby supporting the Pan-German re
actionaries. It begs the working
classes to refuse to become the tools
of counter revolution or of imperial
advocates of force.
"The recovery of Germany." it says,
"cannot come through the creation of
Bolshevik chaos or by unfettering civil
war which would bring fresh disaster
and add streams of blood to the blood
streaming front. We are on the road
to peace and democracy. All revolt
against the government can only serve
the cause of counter revolution."
TURK DECLARES ARMENIANS ARE
ENEMIES AND MUST BE CRUSHED
"We Have Got to Finish Them," Says Talaat Moslem Admits That He
Makes Mistakes, but "We Never Regret."
BOCHES DECLARED STRONG
Kcichstas Member Says Humiliating
Peace Not Necessary.
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 20. Advices re
ceived from Berlin say Mathias Erz
berger, member of the Clerical center
in the Reichstag, and member without
portfolio in the German government,
has sent this telegram to the center
party:
"The new government must labor
with all resoluteness and energy to
give the fatherland peace after the
hard struggle.. The German people are
o strong they do not need to conclude
a humiliating peace; but useless blood
shed must cease."

INSTALLMENT VIII.
My repeated protestations evidently
persuaded Talaat that at least I was
entitled to an explanation of the offi
cial attitude of the Ottoman govern
ment. Inthe early part of August,
therefore, he sent a personal messenger
to me, asking If I could not eee him
alone, as he wished to. go over the
whole Armenian situation. This was
the first time that Talaat had admitted
that his treatment of the Armenians
was a' matter with which I had any
concern. The interview took place two
days afterward. It so happened that
since the last time I had visited Talaat
I had shaved my beard. As soon as I
same in the burly Minister began talk
ing in his customary bantering fash
ion. "You have become a young man
again," he said; "you are eo young now
that I cannot go to you for advice any
more."
"I have shaved my beard," I replied.
"because it had become very gray
made gray by your treatment of the
Armenians."
Armenians to Be Crashed.
After this exchange of compliments
we settled down to the business in
hand. "I have asked you to come to
day," began Talaat, "so that I can ex
plain our position on the whole Ar
menian subject. We base our objec
tions to the Armenians on three distinct
grounds. In the first place, they have
enriched themselves at the expense of
the Turks. In the second place, they
are determined to domineer over us
and to establish a separate state. In
the third place, they have openly ten
couraged our enemies. They have as
sisted the Russians In Caucasus and
our failure there is largely explained
by their actions. We have therefore
come to the irrevocable decision that
we shall make them powerless before
this war is ended.
On every one of these points I had
plenty of arguments in rebuttal.
Talaat's first objection was merely an
admission that the Armenians were
more industrious and more able than
the thick-witted and lazy Turks. Mas
sacre as a means of destroying busi
ness competition was certainly an
original conception! His general charge
that the Armenians were conspiring'
against Turkey and that they openly
sympathized with Turkey's .enemies
merely meant, when reduced to Its
original elements, that the Armenians
were constantly appealing to the Eu
ropean powers to protect them against
robbery, murder and outrage. The Ar
menian problem, like most race prob
lems, was the result of centuries of
ill-treatment and injustice. There could
be only one solution for it, the cre
ation of an orderly system of govern
ment, in which all citizens were to be
treated upon an equality, and in which
all offenses were to be punished as the
acts of individuals and not as of peo
ples. I argued for a long time along
tnese and similar lines.
No Vse for Argument.
"It Is no use for you to argue," Talaat
answered, "we have already disposed
of three-quarters of "the Armenians:
there are none at all left in Bitlis. Van.
and Erzeroum. The hatred between the
Turks and the Armenians is now so
intense that we have got to finish them.
If we don't, they will plan their revenge."
"If you are not Influenced by hu
mane considerations," I replied, "think
of the material loss. These people are
your business men. They control many
of your industries. They are - very
large taxpayers. What would become
of you commercially without them?"
"We care nothing about the commer
cial loss." replied Talaat. "We have
figured all that out and we know that
it will not exceed five million pounds.
We don't worry about that. I have
asked you to come here so as to let
you know that our Armenian policy is
absolutely fixed and that nothing can
change it. We will not have the Ar
menians anywhere in Anatolia. They
can live in the desert, but nowhere
else."
I still attempted to persuade Talaat
that the treatment of the Armenians
was destroying Turkey in the eyes of
the world, and that his country would
never be able to recover from this in
famy. Turk Errs but Never Regrets.
"You are making a terrible mistake,"
I said, and I repeated the statement
three times.
"Yes, we may make mistakes," he re
plied, "buf-rand he firmly closed his
lips and shook his head "we never
regret."
I had many talks with Talaat on the
Armenians, but I never succeeded in
moving him to the slightest degree. He
always came back to the points which
he had made in this interview. He was
very willing to grant any request I
made in behalf of the Americans or
even of the French, and English, but I
could obtain no general concessions for
the Armenians. He seemed to me al
ways to have the deepest personal feel
ing in this matter, and his antagonism
to the Armenians seemed to increase as
their sufferings Increased. One day,
discussing a particular Armenian. I told
Talnat that he was mistaken in re
garding this man as an enemy of the
Turks; that in reality lie was their
friend.
"No Armenian," replied Talaat, "can
be our friend after what we have done
to them."
One day Talaat made what was per
haps the most astonishing request I
had ever heard. The New York Life
Insurance Company and the Equitable
Life of New York had for years done
considerable business among the Ar
menians. The extent to which they
insured their lives was merely another
indication of their thrifty habits.
Turk Conld Use Money.
"T wish," Talaat now said, "that yon
would get the American life Insurance
companies to send us a complete list of
their Armenian policy-holders. They
are practically all dead now and have
left no heirs to collect the money. It,
of course, all escheats to the state.
The Government is the beneficiary now.
Will you do so?"
This was almost too much, and I lost
my temper.
"You will get no such lists from me,
I said, and got up and left him'.
One other episode involving the Ar
menians stirred Talaat to one of his
most ferocious moods. In the latter
part of September, Mrs. Morgenthau
left for America. The sufferings of the
Armenians had greatly preyed upon
her mind, and she really left for home
because she could not any longer en
dure to live in such a country. But
she determined to make one last Inter
cession for this poor people on her own
account. Her way home took her
through Bulgaria, and she had received
an intimation that Queen Eleanor, of
that country, would be glad to receive
her. Perhaps It was Mrs. Morgenthau's
well-known interest in social work
that led to this invitation. Queen
Eleanor was a high-minded woman,
who had led a sad and lonely exist
ence, and who was spending most of
her time attempting to improve the
condition of the poor In Bulgaria. She
knew all about social Work In Amer
ican cities, and a few years before she
had made all her plans to visit the
United States in order to study our
settlements at first hand. At the time
of Mrs. Morganthau's visit the Queen
had two American nurses from the
Henry Street Settlement, of New York,
instructing a group of Bulgarian girls
in the methods of the American Bed
Cross.
Queen Hears of Horrors.
My wife was mainly interested In
visiting the Queen in order that, as one
woman to another, she might make a
plea for the Armenians. At that time
the question of Bulgaria's entrance into
the war had reached, a critical stage,
and Turkey was prepared to make con
cessions to gain her as an ally. It was
therefore a propitious moment to make
such an appeal.
The Queen received Mrs. Morganthau
informally and my wife spent about
an hour telling her about the Armen
ians. Most of what she said was en
tirely new to the Queen. Little had
yet appeared in the European press
on this subject, and Queen Eleanor
was precisely the kind of woman from
whom the truth would be concealed
long as possible. Mrs. Morganthau
gave her all the facts about the treat
ment of Armenian women and children
and asked her to intercede in their
behalf. -She even went so far as to
suggest that it would be . a terrible
thing if Bulgaria, which In the past
had herself suffered such atrocities at
the hands of the Turks, should now be
come their allies in war. Queen Elean
or was greatly moved. She thanked
my wife for telling her these truths
and said that she would intercede im
mediately and see if something could
not be done.
Teuton Duke Displeased.
Just as Mrs. Morganthau was get
ting ready to leave,she saw the Duke
of Mecklenburg standing near the
door. The Duke was in Sofia at that
time attempting to arrange for Bul
garia's participation in the war. The
Queen introduced him to Mrs. Morgan
thau; his highness was polite, but his
air was rather cold and injured. His
whole manner, particularly the stern
glances which he cast on Mrs. Morgan
thau, showed that he had heard a con
siderable part of the conversation. As
he was exerting all his efforts to bring
Bulgaria in on Germany's side, it is
not surprising that he did not relish
the plea which Mrs. Morganthau was
making to the Queen that Bulgaria
should not ally herself with Turkey.
Queen Eleanor immediately interest
ed herself in the Armenian cause, and
as a result the Bulgarian Minister to
Turkey was instructed to protest
against the atrocities. This protest
accomplished nothing, but it did arouse
Talaat's momentary wrath against the
American Ambassador. A few days
afterward, when routine business
called me to the Sublime Porte, I found
him in an exceedingly ugly humor. He
answered most of my questions sav
agely and in monosyllables, and ' I
was afterward told that Mrs. Morgan
thau's intercession with the Queen had
put him into this mood. In a few days.
however, he was as good natured as
ever, for Bulgaria had taken sides with
Turkey.
- Talaat Indulges in Boast.
Talaat's attitude toward the Armen
ians was summed up in the proud boast
which he made to his friends: "I have
accomplished more toward solving the
Armenian problem in three months than
Abdul Hamid accomplished in 30
years."

NOTE OF PRESIDENT
LIKED BY SENATORS
Highest Expectations Held to
Be Fulfilled.
SPIRIT OF U. S. IS SHOWN
Austria Regarded as Savins Merely
Duplicated' Germany's Appeal
for Negotiated Peace.
WASHINGTON, T. C, Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) Members of the Senate yester
day expressed their entire approval of
the attitude taken by the President In
his reply to the Austrian note.
That the President had advanced
from his position of January 8, when he
stated that the peoples pf Austria-Hun
gary "should be accorded the freest
opportunity of autonomous develop
ment," was acknowledged and indorsed
both as the inevitable result of the
altered conditions in the dual mo'n
archy and a step in the highest degree
in accord with the spirit in which the
United States entered the war, and to
which the President baa again given
diplomatic expression.
The Austrian note, it was felt, was
practically e. repetition of the German
government's appeal for a negotiated
peace.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
chairman of the Senate foreign re
lations committee, said;
"The President's note to Austria ful
fills the highest expectations not only
of Americans who want trie full fruits
of victory exacted but of those repre
senting the oppressed nationalities of
Austria, who depend on the United
States so largely for the recognition
of their claims.
Old Terms Not 'Accepted.
Tt is to be presumed that Austria
will feel that the President is adding
to the conditions of peace which he
made last January, and to some extent
he is, Tmt since those conditions were
laid down in January without being
accepted, the United States has publicly
entered into obligations to those sub
ject nationalities which the President
very wisely and justly purposes to live
up to.
We nave recognized the Czecho-Slo-
vak peoples, not only as part of the
Austrian Empire, but as a nation at
war with Austria, and the same In sub
stantially true of the Jugo-Slavs.
"What the United States has done
with regard to Poland and Bohemia and
the Jugo-Slavs, Great Britain, France
and Italy also have done, and the Presi
dent's note merely puts the matter into
proper diplomatic form to require the
assent of Austria as a condition of
peace."
Senator P. J. McCumber, of North Da
kota, a member of the committee on
foreign relations, said:
"The reply is just what it should be,
it represents the sense of honor which
requires the protection and defense of
the Czecho-Slovak nations, which we
have recognized, and whose countries
Austria should yield.
. Penalty Most Be Paid.
"She entered upon this war of aggres
sion to seize territory that did not be
long to her. Let her pay the penalty
In losing territory to which she never
had a right."
Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut,
Republican member of the foreign re
lations committee, said:
"I am much gratified that the Presi
dent has declined to accept the invita
tion to enter into negotiations with
Austria-Hungary.
"Personally, I am opposed to any ne
gotiations by the Government of the
United States with either Austria or
Germany. I think an armistice with
either of them would be ruinous.
"When Congress declared war on the
Central Empires it pledged the re
sources of this great Republic, both in
men and money, and directed the Presi
dent to carry the war to a successful
conclusion.
"I do not believe that this war can
be carried to a successful conclusion in
any other way than by smashing the
armies of our enemies on the field of
battle. When this has been done, there
will be no need for any negotiations."
Note WUI Help Czechs.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, Democra
tic member of the foreign relations
committee, said:
"The effect of this note will be fur
ther to arouse the revolutionary spirit
of Austria. It is a distinct recognition
of the Czecho-Slovaks claim for inde
pendence. It will correspondingly In
crease their strength and at the same
time weaken the AustrojHungarian
government. It indicates very clearly
that this is in truth a war of democ
racy against the powers of autocracy,
and our allies will applaud it."
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
Democrat, said:
"The reply of the President is very
proper in the circumstances."
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, Republi
can, said:
"The splendid note, particularly that
part relating to the Czecho-Slovaks,
should seal the doom of Austria."

was a happy inspiration on the part of
the authorities of Bedford College to
give the British public the opportunity
of becoming better acquainted with
American thought.
He said it was a subject of most pro
found interest at this time, when our
two countries are more closely asso
ciated than they ever before have been
in an enterprise which is bound to have
the most momentous consequences on
the future of the community. ,
"It is the hope of all of us,'! Lord
Milner continued, "that the ties which
have sprung up between the two na
tions through their fellowship in the
war will lead to a fellowship in peace
productive of immeasurable benefits to
the whole human race.
"How much of the catastrophe which
Is baffling mankind is attributable to
the wave of materialism aggressive
materalism -which during the last 50
years has swept oyer the Intellectual
centers of Germany? '
"And, on the other hand, what could
do more to repair the consequences of
that calamity than' the growth of a
nobler philosophy and a higher concep
tion of national duties and aims that is
obtaining possession simultaneously of
the leading minds of America and this
country?"
POINT WON F0R CHROMITE
War Industries) Board Requests That
Imports Be Reduced.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Oct. 20. After further
conference today with Senator McNary
regarding the chromite mining indus
try in Oregon, the War Industries
Board made a formal request on the
War Trade Board to prohibit all im
ports except from Canada and Cuba.
It was decided not to fix a price for
chromite as that might stimulate the
opening of new mines with bad results
but it was deemed probable that if im
ports were cut off the normal market
would pay a profitable price for the
output of mines already in operation. .

Montbrehain.
In three days of successful fighting
they completed an advance of 10 miles
from Montbrehain to St. soupiet, over
coming determined resistance and cap
