The text of the original Austrian note,
together with the communication' from
the Swedish minister which accompanied
H, was made public at toe same time,
The Austrian note differs considerably
from the text as cabled from Vienna,
and was as follows:
"The Austro-Hungarian monarchy,
which has waged war always and solely
as a defensive war and repeatedly given
documentary evidence of its readiness to
stop the shedding of blood and to arrive
at a Just and honorable peace, hereby
addresses itself to his lordship, the presi
dent of the United States of America,
and offers to conclude with him and his
allies an armistice on every front, on land,
at sea nd in the air and to enter im
mediately upon negotiations for a peace
for which the 14 points in the message
of President Wilson to congress of Janu
ary I, 1918, and the four points "con
tained In President Wilson's addrese of
February 12, 1918. should ' serve as a
N foundation and in which the viewpoints
oeciarea Dy rresiaeni wuson in jus aa-
dress of September 27, 1918, will also bo
taken into account."

:Day to Be Observjed
In Spite of the Flu
Tir prevention day, November 2, is
to be celebrated in Portland in spite of
the Spanish "flu" epidemic, said Fire
Marshal Orenfell Saturday. The cause
is considered so important -that the fire
department has made arrangements to
each the populace by the bouse to
louse canvas method. Pamphlets are
to be scattered on every door step in
the city, explaining the necessity of
keeping attics, closets, basements and
backyards clean.
Considerable money has been spent to
secure window displays for the down
town districts.
Firemen's nelmets carrying storage
battery feed electric lights in front have
been invented in England.

ponement of the reichst&g cession "well
informed Quarters here expect: the Ger
man answer to President Wilson to be
made publie tomorrow. " "
An apparently reliable forecast Is that
the note will express Germany's willing
ness to accept all of President Wilson's
terms; that it will claim German re
forms are already under way, "as far
as possible," and that ft will instance
the evacuation of the t411e district as
showing wanton destruction by the army
has ceased.
Public opinion to., France, however,
remains unmoved Toy predictions of fresh-
German concessions ana Insists upon de
manding complete evacuation ot all oc
cupied territories as well as military
guarantees.
Hi, i . ii ,
By Jean Eewla Wvia
Washington, Oct. 19. I. K. R) There
is to be no compro&ise With autocracy.
President Wilson emphasised: this again
today. Austria was toia tnat ner ap
peal for peace, through verbal accept
ance of the president's original 14 condi
tions enunciated on January 8 last and
clarified by his four points of February
12, was unacceptable. - Word service will
pot extricate the dual empire from her
present unhappy condition. Her fate,
the . president stated, is in the bands of
the cobelligerent CsechsoBlevak govern
ment, whose declaration of independence
was given to the world today, and of
the Jugo-Slavs who have cast off the
yoke of vassalage to Charles of Aus
tria.
Simultaneously with toe reply to Aus
tria-Hungary, which ends the hope of
the militarists there of securing peace
through compromise, came the intima
tion from official quarters that the
president will under no circumstances
allow Germany to draw him Into further
discussions of terms of peace. Instead,
he wii stand squarely on his announced
decision, which calls for a responsive
German government, complete ending
of all atrocities on land and sea and an
armistice that will guarantee existing
allied military supremacy and noncom
munication from Berlin that does -not
measure up squarely to that mark will
be considered here.
, Be ported Beply Unsatisfactory
Incidentally,' there was additional
dcubt thrown this afternoon around the
plans of the German people. An early
report via Copenhagen stated that the
text of the German reply was published
In Berlin last night- The government
had 4decided, that report stated, that It
rouid not end ruthless submarine war
fare; that it would not reject the presi
dent s decision ; would deny that Ger-
uany? perpetrated cruelties on people of
recupied territories, and would debate
the question of an armistice. High ad
ministration . officials laughed : such, a
yeply. -out of court. They said it would
fcot even be considered if sent here.
Later in the day? however, the French
high commission received Information
tending to show that the reply had been
withdrawn at the eleventh hour and that
t might not come here for, some-days
yet. -' -. ' - "
. 7 Bsply Beported Delayed
Information reaching France from
Swiss Bourcea stated that the reply was
considered at an all-day conference- of
1he German government th which the
war cabinet participated for five hours.
It was agreed that the general situation
in Germany was so, serious and disquiet
ing that the imperial government found
it necessary before reaching a final fie-
oion to get all possible information as
to just- what the people wanted.
The Socialist paper Vorwaerts throws
a very strong light on the entire situa
tion. - It says: . ,
The" German - answer may not be
ready for several daya The opinion-
or tne.ieaerai councils commission on
foreign affairs will be asked f or.. ' The
government la : supposed, to be pontera
platirfg convoking the great commission
ef the relchstag to give them explana
tlons. Instead of assembling the relch
stag as . has been announced. . --
Trying to Mislead Workers
In the same issue Is published a.' state
ment declaring war. it is openly spoken
at the Berlin factories that a ministry
win be formed which will represent the
working classes and be supported i by
tha worklngmen's committee. The Vor
waerts declares that this is not so. and
Is designed to mislead the workers. ' It
is pointed out by oiriciais here, however,
that the fact; that the German govern
ment hag found It necessary; apparently,
to call on the. socialist newspaper- to
discredit such a report and also to ap
peal to the "right paindedness and sense
of duty as the article further, does,
emphasises . mor-r than s anything . else
