If SON REJECTS
E OF AUSTRIA
CONDITIONS MADE CLEARER BY
ACCEPTANCE OF WHICH
WAR MAY BE ENDED.
DYNASTY IS IN GRAVE DANGER
Federalizing of Austrian States In
Vain and Desperate Effort to
Save Dual Monarchy.
Washlnrton. On the eve, appar
ently, of the coming of the peaoe note
from Germany, President Wilson has
rejected tbs plea of Austria-Hungary
for an armistice and peaoe negotia
tions and in. doing bo has made clear
er the conditions wbioh the central
powers nwat meet to end the war.
In a note made public soon after it
was weU on the way to Vienna the
President la efteot says there can be
no talk of peaoe with the Austro-Hun-garian
government except upon the
basis of oomplete liberty for Czecho
slovaks and other ubeot nationali
ties as free members ot the family of
nations, lis refuses to entertain the
AuBtro-Hutgarala suggestion for this
reason without discussing the military
questions dealt with in the reply to
Germany. '
The Vienna gcrvermwnt asked for
:otlatjona on the basis of the presi
dent's announced program of peace,
mentioning the spcch of January 8,
last, in wbioh the President said the
peoples of Aaatria-Hungary should be
accorded tbe freest opportunity for
autonomous development. The reply
eays this is impossible; that the
Ceeoho-Skwk national eouAcil has
been reeoenised as a de facto bellig
erent goverameut, Che Justice of the
natkmabBtto aspirations of the Jugo
Uav bee been recogniaed and mere
autonomy no longer can be accepted.
This declaration which may be far
reaching in its effect upon Austria
Hungary, where long enslaved peoples
apparently are nearly ready to sweep
away the bated dual monarchy and
fhe Kapsborg dynasty clears up what
some critics of the President's policy
bae pointed to as a source of end
less controaeroy in his program of
peaos. It oecnes one day after the
prodttmatkn of Emperor Karl federal

ate effort to save bis government at

the way for peace.

STIFFENING OF ENEMY LINES
SOMEWHAT RETARDS THE
PROGRESS OF ALLIE8.
RESULTS ARE BEING SH
Around LaCateau Where Americans
Are Fighting, Activities Have
Diminished Greatly.
The fail of Valenciennes to Plaid
Marshall Haig's forces is immlnoaL
Despite the desperate resistance of
the Germans, the British have en
tered the city on the west, while to
the north they have made a deep
thrust Into the great Raiames forest
and are moving in the direction cf
Conde, near the asigle of the Scheldt.
Valenciennes had been in uninter
rupted French possession from 1677
until the onrush of the Germans early
In the present war led them many I
miles into France. .It is now about
to be added to the rapidly growing
list of towns the redemption of which
has brought rejoicing to the French 1
people.
Although the progress of the cllied !
forces in Belgium and French Flan- i
ders has slowed up somewhat lc the i
face of the stiffening of the lines of
rear guards aiding the retreat of the j
German armies, appreciable gains
have been made, some of them of
much importance. ,
Behind the Scheldt' the German I
are massed in strength; their machine '
guns on the east bank are active.
In the northern battle area the Bel- '
glans have reached the Lys canal
along their entire front and have
captured a bridgehoad with numbers
of the enemy west of Meerendre.
The French are etui moving ac
tively to the north of Loon and have
now completed the oecupationn of
Chalandry and Grandlup. To the
southwest of Ghent they are firmly
established on the east bank of the
Lys river, having made crossings at
several points, against which the en
emy resisted with determination.
Around (LeCateau, where Americans
are fighting with the British fourth
army, activity has diminished greatly.
The same is true of the American
sector northwest of Verdon, where the
chief activity of the enemy has been
the shelling of the American lines
with mustard and other gas shells,
and an air raid, which came near to
achieving the destruction of an Amer-
lean base hospital.
KING RECEIVES DEPUTATION
OF PARLIAMENTARIANS'
London. King George received a
large deputation of Interparliamen
tary delegates at Buckingham palace.
The deputation Included SO British
