An official Austrian; statement issue! Wednesday nigh' 1 from Vienna says that "in view of 1 our desire for peace, our troops on Italian soil are evacuating occupied regions. It Is the general opinion among of-) ficials and diplomats at Washington that the German proposal for an arm-1 Istlce and peace, while having its or-1 igin in a plan to gain time for ! strengthening the army and restor- i ing if possible its shattered morale, has now gotten beyond the control o;' the milhary party and that the Ger man people are the force which is driving the German government to make a move for ending the war. The American government has re-: ceived another note from the Ger man government explanatory of the changes that have been made and are proposed in the German constitution; and form of government but the sia'e, department did not make it public. The note is understood to be supple mentary to the preceding German communication saying to the presi dent that he must have knowledge of the efforts that have been made to make Germany democratic. President Wilson Is at work on his 1 reply to Austria's new plea for an armistice and peace and It is expect ed that it will be made public some time day. It is understood that in ; the note the president plans to touch cn the steps that Austria aud Hun gary have taken of releasing their subject peoples from political bond age but stating that the Austrian J government's plea would be referred tO the allied governments. It is said that the administration is well con vinced now that Austria is nearly out j of the war an dthat her desire for peace Is sheply tempered by a natur al disposition to get the bet terms possible short of unconditional sur render. London. According to a wireless dispatch received here from Russia tonight, more than 25,0(0 persons have been shot during the rule of General Krasnoff, the Cossack lead er and former member of the staff of Alexander Kerensky, in the Don re gion. A report to Copenhagen from Pet rograd says that the Bolsheviki are now openly declaring that the night of Novemler 10 is to be the time for a general St. Bartholomew night, with the murder of the entire bur geoise and Intellectual classes. A reporter for a London newspa per eays, "It Is futile to cherish the illusion that the Bolsheviks do not mean what they say. During Sep tember their official organ announced dally the names of 500 persons shot in cold blood witr-out trial and with no apparent reason." for military camps during the rtvi day period beginning November 11.
