AUSTRIA ASKS WILSON
FOR SEPARA TE PEA CE
Belief Prevalent In Washing
ton Peaceful Revolution
Has Occurred
Paris, Oct. 28 Austria replying to
rresiaent wiiBon accepts all his condi
tions, it was learned officially from
berne today.
Austria accepts Wilson's terms re
garding the Czeeho-Slovaks and the
Jiigo-Slavs. ,
(The president said that Austria
must negotiate directly with the Cze
choslovaks and Jitgo-Slavs, who desire
to establish independent nations.)
Austria, it is said, declares her read
iness to enter negotiations immediate
ly, regardless of the result of other ne
gotiations, and asks Wilson to take ap
propriate measures towards an tuiis
tice and peace.
L'Heure says:
Tho Austrian note is a complete
capitulation. Germany, in turn, is fac

WILSON'S DECLARATIOn
FOR FREEDOM OF SEAS

Says Republican
A 1 VOlMVUl
Politicians Purposely Mis
represent His Views.
Washington, Oct. 2S. Denouncing as
"lamentable1'' alleged republican at
tempts to "bend to partisan Bcrvice",
the "momentous issues of this solemn
hour," President Wilson today ex
plained that article three of his peace
formula does not mean a policy of
free trade.
Responding to a letter of inquiry
from Senator Simmons, who asked
what interpretation must be placed on
the peace article in question, "remov
al of all economic barrier and the es
tablishment of equality of trade con
ditions among nations, etc." the pres
ineiii. hh u ue uitrmiL iiictlmv liihl

'there should be discrimination against

some nations that did not apply to oth
ers. " Weapons of economic discipline,
he said, should be left to the league of
nations.
His letter follows in part:
"I. of course mean to snstrest no re-
equally to all foreign nations, in other
words, that there should be-no disctim-
nation against some nations that did
not aPP'y others. This leaves every
nation free to determine for itself its

"The experiments of tne past among

PEACEFUL DEVOLUTION
By Raymond Clapper
' Washington, Oct. 28. A peaceful
revolution ia believed to have taken
place in Hungary and a national coun
cil formed to take control of the gov
ernment, according to a semi-official
dispatch here today from Berne, quot
ing telegrams from Berlin.
Immediate peace hud complete inde
pendence of Hungary and severance
of the alliance, with Germany are de
manded. Count Karolyi is apparently heading
the. revolution, according to the cable
which reached the French high com
mission j today.. . v
Delegates of Karolyi 's party and of
the radical and socialist .parties met

tion of quite another kind. American
business, ns in the past, is unaffected
by a policy of the kind suggested and
it has nothing to fear now from a
policy of simple international justice.
It is, indeed, lamentable that the mo
mentous issues of this Bolemn hour
should be seizect upon in an effort to
bend them to partisan service. Ho the
initiated and discerning, tho motive is
transparent and the attempt fails."

WITH THQ8 WORDS
Tells Republican Critics That
He Has Only Followed In
Their Footsteps.
Washington, Oct. 28. Secretary Tu

has written at President Wilson's di
rection to the Cuyahoga county com
mittee at Cleveland, Ohio, in which he
replies to protests against President j
Wilson's appeal to the country to re

quotations from utterances by Colonel
Kooscvelt, former President Harrison,
.'Senators Lodgo and Penrose and form

1898, at the close of the Spanish-American
war.
The Cuyahoga committee telegraphed

inconceivably bring about a rupture of
