GERMANY REJOICES OVER REFERENDUM.

RESULT REGARDED AS A VICTORY. AUSTRALIA SAID TO BE AGAINST THE WAR. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received November 9, 10J0 a.m.) AMSTERDAM, November 8. German newspapers arc jubilant over the result of the Australian referendum vote. Professor Manes, in an article in tlie "Vossiehe Zeitnug," headed "A Whole Section of the Earth Against tlie War," says that the other Dominions cannot consider the introduction of compulsion. Several papers declare that the result amounts to the defeat of Germany's most prominent opponent. The decision of Australia is an example which will be followed by the other Dominions.
