Hungarian government, according to a
dispatch from Vienna, lias sent an official
reply accepting the Russian government's
wireless proposal to enter into negotiations
for an armistice and a general peaee treaty.
The reply was sent yesterday and is as
follows:
"The guiding principles announced by
the Russian government for negotiations
for an armistice and a peace treaty, coun-
ter-proposals to which are awaited by the
Russian government are in the opinion of
the Austro-Huugarian government, u suit-
able basis for entering upon these nego-
tiations. The Austro-nungarian govern-
ment therefore declares that it is ready to

Russian government regarding an imme-
diate armistic" and a general peace.

WASHINGTON, I>. C\. Nov. ;w>. Aus-
tria's decision to line up with Germany
in opening peace negotiations with the
Russian Rolsheviki may have some effect
on the Administration's disinclination to-
ward a declaration of war on the dual
monarchy but, it is thought in official cir-
cles here that it will not bring about any
tangible development for the present at
least.
Administration Senators have found on
conference with the executive branch of
the Government that there is no disposition
to ask Congress to make another war
declaration at this time. They found the
hope of breaking up th. central power al-
liance had not been entirely abandoned.
President Wilson continued to work on
his address to Congress today and the fact
that he had before him a preat quantity
of material bearing on relations with Aus-
tria caused some speculation as to whether
he would touch on the subject.
One official today said the problem of
whether the Government should declare
war on Austria was not so easy of solu-
tion as it looked to the average citizen.

Russian-German Meeting Sunday.
By Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 30.—The Russian envoys
sent to treat with the Germans, according
to a Renter dispatch from I'etrograil, have
telegraphed the Bolsheviki leaders that the
Russo-Germau plenipotentiaries will meet
Sunday noon at the crossing on the
Dvlnsk-Vilna River west of the village of
Kukharishky. between the opposing mili-
tary lines, and then will go to Gerinau
headquarters at Brest Litovsk.
"Of the fundamental principles of our
Imperial constitution nothing can or shall
he changed," declared Count Von Hertling,
German Chancellor, in his speech to the
Reichstag, Wednesday. He declared further:
"One should particularly not be led astray
by catch words nor slavishly imitate the
institution of other countries, but should
do what is demanded by the actual neds or
popular life and which correspond to the
German spirit and German characteristics.
BERLIN, Nov. 20 (via London, Nov. 30).
British Admiralty, via Wireless Press.—The
war situation was reviewed before the
Reichstag today by Count George F. Von
Hertling, the new imperial German chancel
lor. He declared that Germany was ready
to enter into peace negotiations as soon as
the Russian Government sent representa-
tives having full powers to Berlin. The
chancellor said he hoped and wished that
the present efforts would take definite
shape and "bring up peace."
German arms, the Chancellor said, have
been uniormly successful and the sub-
marine warfare will reach the aim intended
for it. He said that the ships sunk will
exceed that of those newly constructed. He
praised the army and navy and eulogized
the home population for its patience and
endurance under great privations. I'olltl
cal reforms would be carried out, but the
fundamental principles of the Imperial con-
stitution cannot and shall not be changed.
The Reichstag was packed when the
Chancellor began his speech. The new
state secretaries, the new Bavarian premier,
the members of the reigning German
houses, the Austrian, Turkish, Bulgarian
ambassadors and all the neutral ministers
were present. The Imperial Chancellor
opened his speech, after personal reference
to his asumption of office, by asking the
loyal co-operation of the Reichstag. He
continued:
"We are approaching the end of the year
that has t>een full of far reaching and de-
cisive events in many theaters of the war.
I am proud and thankful to say that the
arms of Germany and her allies have been
successful on almost every occasion and
everywhere."
He recalled that the Flanders battle had
continued almost without Interruption sln<-e
July and that the British army was su-
perior in numbers and that several French
divisions had taken part in the fight. Not-
withstanding the loss of some villages and
farms, the German front there remained
unshaken and the enemy was as far as
ever from his object of reaching the Flem-
ish coast to destroy German U-boat bases,
lie added:
"Recognizing the failure of their attacks
in Flanders, the British are now seeking
near Cambrai a decisive result. The hope
which Great Britain placed upon the whole-
sale use of tanks has not been fulfilled.
They lie destroyed on the battlefield by
successful German counter measures. The
initial British success was parried by the
entrance of our reserves.
"The French also have had local successes
northeast of Soissona and before Verdun,
but every strategical exploitation of these
has been prevented by the German army
commander. Everyone remembers the events
in the East which led to the conquest of
Riga aud Jacobstadt.
"The glorious advance of the armies of
the central powers in Italy holds the world
in suspense even today. Overwhelmingly
difficult tasks have been accomplished there
by the fighting strength of the German
and Austro Hungarian troops in their sur-
prisingly rapid attack and penetration of
rough mountain territory. Italy's army has
lost a considerable part of its forces and
half of its total war material. It also has
lost stretches of land which provide It
with rich supplies. It has not yet been
possible to collect all the booty, calculated
in money value at thousands of millions
of marks, which has fallen into our hands.
"Further the success of our victories from
the Isonzo to the Piave is an efectlve re-
lief to our own western front. In the same
way this victory also makes itself felt in
Macedonia as the enemy now appears to
be giving voluntarily the slight success

CHANCELLOR IS VAGUE ON
ARMY AND NAVY SUCCESS
While chief interest in Chancellor von
Ilertling's speech in the (iermon Reich-
stag Thursday attaches to his remarkH
on the Mibject of peace with Bussiu
the speech also was notable for its ref-
erences to military and naval opera-
tions which reveal, beneath a tone of
optimism, considerable anxiety. Ger-
man arms, the Chancellor said, have
been uniformly successful and the sub-
marine warfare will reach the aim In-
tended for it. Yet after emphasizing
that tlie (lerman front 011 Fiunders had
been unshaken, and that the initial Brit-
ish successes at Cambrai were "parried
by the entrance of our reserves," the
Chancellor proceeds later in his speech
to say "the success of our victories
from the Isonzo to the Piave is an ef-
fective relief to our own western front."
Nowhere in his speech did the Chancel-
lor claim success for the submarine cam-
paign, but frequently he expressed hope
of its success. After declaring that
the German war fleet had thoroughly
fulfilled the hopes and expectations
placed in it, the Chancellor in his next
paragraph consigned the fleet to the
position of a "support and reserve be-
hind our submarine boats."
KEEPING SOLDIERS STRONG

to fortify the health of soldiers against the rigors and ex-
posure of camp life and to help build up enduring strength.

which he obtained west of Lake Ochrlda
from the Sinai peninsula, the British are
operating uguinst the Turkish troops in
Palestine and have been able to achieve
certain initial successes there. These, how-
ever, have no influence on the general war
situation from a military i*>Lnt of view.
In the theater of war in Asia Minor and hi
Irak the situation is unchanged."
After declaring that the German war
fleet had thoroughly fulfilled the hopes and
expectations placed in It, the Chancellor
continued :
"The high seas fleet, whose constant
activity often has been veiled from the
public view, deserves the thanks of the
country. It has since its glorious day
off the Skaggerak, lately shown anew after
a long interval, in the capture of the
islands of OeseL, Dago and Moon in typical
co-operation with the urmy and its lately
successful fight in the German bight in
the North Sea against a considerable su-
periority of forces in constant readiness
tor battle. As a support and reserve it
stands behind our submarine boats, it pro-
tects their places of support and opens out
a way for them into the opeu sea."
The Chancellor then reviewed the sub-
marine campaign which lie said is the only
effective way of battling against the power
of Germany's enemy and the economic war
forced on her. lie was hopeful of its suc-
cess and said that the allies were unable
to make progress against it bv their com
maudeering neutral ships or building new
ones.
Count von Hertling expressed the wish
that the territories formerly under Russian
sway- Poland, Lithuania and Courland-
eould have the right of choosing their own
governments and could obtain that politi-
cal form which corresponded to their con-
ditions and culture. He said that affairs
in this direction were still completely in
a state of uncertainty and that report's In
the press indicating that a definite agree-
ment had been reached on one point were
premature.
lie referred to Germany and her allies
as having placed themselves on the founda-
tion of the Papal j>eace note of last August
and said that every ground had been re-
moved for the "foolish argument'' that the
object of her enemies was to destroy Ger-
man militarism which was destroying the
peace of nations. He said:
"It has been shown where. In truth, the
peace destroying militarism can be sought.
The Italian minister, Sonnino, in his
speech on October 20 expressly waived the
thought of general disarmament and
Premier Clernenceau goes so far in cynic-
ism as to expressly shut out Germany
and Austria Hungary from the peaceful
communicaty of nations of the future when
right shall take tlie place of arined force.
Premier Lloyd George has declared dis-
tinctly that the aim of the war is the de-
struction of German commerce, and that
the war must be continued until this end
is reached. Indeed, the lust of conquest
falsely attributed to us Is now placed be-
fore the world through the publication of
secret treaties by the Russian government.
"Our war aim from Ihe first was the
defense of the Fatherland and the in-
violability of Its territory, freedom and
Independence of its economic life. On that
account we could greet joyfully the Pope's
peace appeal. The spirit In which the
answer to the Papal note was given, still Is
alive today, but so much tin* enemy most
admit this answer signifies, no license for
the criminal lengthening of the war.
"For the continuation of the terrible
slaughter and the destruction of irreplace
able works of -civilization and for the mad
self-mangling of Kurope. the enemy alone
bears the responsibility and will also have
to bear the consequences. This applies es-
pecially to Sonnino (Baron Sonnino, Italian
Minister of Foreign Affairs). If the Italian
authorities who drove into the war the
unfortunate population of a beautiful laud
bound to us by a thousand fold memories,
had taken the hand of peace held out by
the Pope the frightful defeat of their
armies with all Its associated consequences
would not have taken place.
"May Italy's friends accept this as a
warning and lend an ear at least to the
voice of reason and humanity."
In conclusion, the Chancellor said that
Germany's watchword must be "Wait! En-
dure!! Hold out!!!"
The speech was received with applanse
from almost the whole House, only the
Extreme Kight and the Extreme Left not
participating
In discussing the financing of the war,
which he said had been carried out satis-
factorily. Chancellor von Hertling said:
"The Empire has appealed seven times
to the German people to provide the means
and all classes of the population have com-
peted in order that each might bear his
portion of the burden and the sum of
about Ti,000.0f>0.0<)0 marks has been sub-
scribed voluntarily to date."
In asking the Reichstag for a new credit
of 1,*>,000,000.000 marks the Chancellor al-
luded to extraordinary war expenditures
which had called forth among all the Ger-
man people consciousness and solidarity.
The Chancellor then spoke of the demand
for reform and adjustment of political af-
fairs. He said It was necessary to recog-
nize what is right in this demand to carry
it through with a firm hand. He added:
"One should particularly not be led
astray by catch words nor slavishly imi-
tate the institutions of other countries, ,
but should do what is demanded by the
actual needs of popular life, and which
corresponded to the German spirit and
German characteristics.
"Of the fundamental principles of our
Imperial constitution nothing can or shall
be changed. They are distinctive and have
grown out of the historically developed
character of the tJermun people and their
various branches. Parliamentary repre-
sentations in the Reichstag rest upon the
broadest conceivable base.
"When our political life, developing it-
self upon this firm foundation, undertakes
new tasks, and when the new needs make
themselves apparent within The framework
of the Imperial constitution, the Imperial
government will at all times lend a willing
ear to the wishes and suggestions which
may reach It from this honorable house—
of that I am sure."

MEASURE PROVIDING FOR FIF-
TEEN BILEION MARKS (iOES
TO THIRD READING.
By Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 00.—The war credit
of fifteen billion marks asked for by Chan-
cellor von Hertling passed its first and
second readings in the Reichstag yester-
day after remarks by Deputies S«helde-
mann and Haasc. The third reading has
been set for Saturday.
In the debate following the Chancellor's
speech, Herr Trim born on behalf «'f the
Centrum, condemned both 11 peine of »g
gression and a peace of renunciation. He
demanded a peace by conciliation gun ran
teeing Germany's integrity, the security
of her frontiers and uer complete inde
pendenoe, especially economic.
"What the Chancellor has said con
cerning Russia," he said, "meets with our
entire and joyful approval.
"The German people sincerely desire cor
rect. economic and political relations with
new Russia. The Chancellor has the Cen-
trum's full confidence."
Herr Schiedeuutnu lor the Socialists said
his party considered the new government
an advance, owing to the manner of its
formation. The Socialists would support
a parliamentarian government but would
oppose it where differences of opinion
that could not be bridged arose. Peoples
of the warring countries must conclude
peace with each other, the Socialist leader
added. The German people did not want
the Polish crown for new duchies. Poland,
Llthunl.i and other territories might de-
termine their future as they like. He de-
clared that German labor ' fully wel-
comed and supported the first peace step
of the Russian revolution and ardently
awaited the day when the workmen of
France and Great Britain would meet them
along the same lines. The developments
which had become irresistible in Russia
was not defeated in this war, only those
were defeated who desired to fight to the
bitter end.
Deputy Pish beck, a Progressive, said he
rejoiced at the Chancellor's words regard-
ing the Russian offer of a peaceful ap-
proachment and declared that the Chancel-
lor's policy was calculated to pave the way
for reciprocal confidence.
The Russian offer must be given full
importance, Herr Haase, Independent
Socialist, declared but a separate peace
with Russia Is not enough. He added:
"We want a general peace without an-
nexation east or west."

SPEECH DURING BUDGET DEBATE
IN SAXON DIET CAUSES
A SENSATION.
By Associated Press.
DRESDEN, Saxony. Thursday. Nov. LM.i
(Via London, Nov. .'M)j During the budget
debate today In the lower house of the
Saxon Diet, Deputy Eieissner, a Socialist,
made a severe attack on the German for-
eign policy and said he had in his pos-
session a copy of a treaty signed by Dr.
Alfred Zimmerman, former German for
elgn secretary, which, if It had been drawn
up ami signed within the limits of the
empire, would have been equivalent to high
treason. The deputy's assertion caused
some excitement especially in view of his
offer to read the treaty In open session.
The president of the chamber asked to sec
the document, which he turned over to
Count von Vitzthum. Saxon foreign minis-
ter. The count made the following decla-
ration :
"I have not discovered in the document
that which would incriminate German
diplomacy or which could be construed as
not permissable. I am unable to vouch
ior the genuineness of the treaty and con-
fine myself to stating that the document
concerns a treaty concluded during the
war and Is directed against a power which
is at war with us and therefore recom-
mends only such measures as correspond
with war time usages and international
law. I emphatically reject as wholly un-
founded the speaker's reproach of Former
Foreign Secretary Zlmmermann."

I3y Associated Press.
BOSTON, Nov. 30.—The Turks are sf

ion of Dr. William E. Strong, editoria.
secretary of the American Board of Low
inissloners for Foreign Missions.
"Why the I'ulted States should declare
war upon either Turkey or Bulgaria is
incomprehensible to those who know any-
thing of the internal situation of those
two countries," said a s ta tamer t issued
by Dr. Strong tonight. "Both of the coun
tries are as much under the control or
Germany as are Belgium aud Poland.
• Who would suggest," he continued,
"that we should declare war against B« I
glum because the Belgian sufferers are
working for Germany and Belgium is sl;»
plying Germauy with foodstuffs and otnei
war equipment? Those who have coiin
out of Turkey during the last few months
give only one testimony, and t'lat is to t»»e
effect that Turkey is heartily tired of the
domination of Germany. Even the lead-
ers recognize that they weut into this

A declaration »>f war today on the part o*
the United States would lead to u new st
tack under German direction upon the
non-Moslem population of Turkey whose
elimination from Asia Mnlor is one of the
manifest policies of Germany
-one can hardly think of the people or
the United States favoring any such step,
which could, so far as we can see, lean
to nothing that would abbreviate this war
but would open the door for new ana

-The sending of Bernstorff to t onstan-
