PEACE TALK.
PEACE NEARER. POSITION DRAMATICALLY CHANGED. BY AUSTRIA'S BREAK-UP. Received Oct. 30, 12. 40 a.m. London, Oct. 28. Tho Franco-Italian press regard the Austrian note as dramatically changing the whole situation, bringing peace appreciably nearer. Few expected the dual monarchy's break-up iso quickly. The prevailing impression is. that it is now merely a question of time and how quickly Germany can be compelled to follow. Intransigent Germany has now nothing left except her own rapidly Waning strength.—United Service. ACTUAL CAPITULATION. THE AUSTRIAN NOTE. ALLIED PRESS COMMENTS. Received Oct. 30, 12.40 p.m. Paris, Oct. 2R. Austria's note is tantamount to actual capitulation. Thus the Central Alliance and its Mittel Europa scheme disappear. Rome, Oct. 28. The Tribune states that AnstriaEungary was never a nation. It was merely an army upholding the dynasty. London, Oct. 28. The Britislh press is more restrained. While gratified at the startling weekend turn of events, the majority point out that there is -no sign ol a changed heart, or even pretence of repentance, as far as Germany is concerned. The growing opinion is that no safe peace is possible while the Kaiser remains. The Standard says the Kaiser by a scratch of tlhe pen can destroy the new constitution and restore Ludendorff and the U-boat ruthlessness. Recalling that the Kaiser is a notorious coward, the Standard;thinks this characteristic may prove a vital factor during the next few days. Tho -Star states that the negotiations have reached a point of intense delicacy, and tlbe press must not embarrass the momentous Allied Council.—United Service.
