Austria and Italy said to have Accepted the
six Months Armistice-Tbe Military Pres
parations Of England for Emergency.
LONDON, oct. 10.-It is impossible to draw
conclusions from the mass OF conflicting tele-
grams about the Intention of Russia and the
position Of the other powers. The correspond
ents, who are usually the best informed are at
fault now, ana any assertions OF pretended facts
which may nnd their way to the United States
should be regarded with great caution. Every
capital In Europe Is teegraphinR to every other
capital the inquiry, Is 1t peace or war;" and
nobody who will Is able to answer the question.
The news OF the reconstruction Of the triple al
lance Is uncon1rmed, but as yet II Ia uncontra-
dicted. The publication OF Russlas note, re-
fusing to agree to a six months armistice, In
the Berlin Imperial Advertiser, which Is Ger
many's ofiicial gazette, Is considered an indica-
tion Of Germany's resolution to agree with
Russia. On the other hand, the correspondent
OF the Times at Vienna, usually a most reliable
authority, especially on Diplomatic matters, re-
peats the assertion that England France and
Italy declared to the Porte their acceptance OF
the six months armistce, and that Austria ex-
pressed herself from the first In Its favor. She
reirained from promising definitely before
knowing the views of Russia and Germany, but
has frankly Informed them that In her opinion
Turkeys proposals are such IA can be accepted
The correspondent CONF denty believes that,
in view Of pu bic opinion. which is decidedly In
favor OF the longest possible srmistice. and the
probable a titude Of the Austro- II ungari an Par
lament, It will be very dificult for the @ G)vern-
ment to reject the Turkish proposal Now that
England, France, and italy have accepted II
officially In Constantinople Austria can scarcely
remain behind them long. Austria's interests
and antagonisms are such as to render these
statements OF the Times correspondent highly
probable, but not more probable than an agree
ment with Russia and Germany for putting an
end to the war. In the latter case the question
of peace or war depends upon England. Ii the
TIMES correspondent Ia right, the question OF
peace or war depends upon Russia.

land are advising the Porte To Weld on tue guar
