'the coming election topped off the
Jackson day deliberations of the
Democratic party chiefs.
It came at the Jackson dinner, as
the climax of the day in which San

meeting place of the Democratic na-tional

President Wilson, in his message
read to tne diners, assembled in two
separate halls, declared that the
"clear and single way out" was to
submit the question to the voters as
"a great and solemn referendum."

with anarchy and death by starva-tion

to Washington by Baron
EichofT, who is head of the Austrian
peace delegation.
"The representatives of the allied
and associated powers in Paris are
fully aware of the terrible distress
by which Austria is actually afflict-ed,"
says Baron Eichoff's appeal. It
resulted from the plain figures which
have been laid before the reparations
committee with ghastly evidence
that at the end of the present month
the Austrian people literally will per-ish
by cold and starvation. This is
a fact which nobody calls into ques-tion.
"It has been established by the de-liberations
of the reparations commit-tee
and of the supreme council that

her the necessary credits and
