Austria Hungary is out of the war
Deserted by her last ally, Germany
fights alone a battle which means ul-
innate defeat or abject surrender.
After days of pleading an armistice
has been granted Austria Hungary,
whose badly beaten armies in the Ital-
ian theater are staggering homeward
under the violence of the blows of the
entente troops.
Trent, which the Italians always
have claimed as their own, has been
captured by them; Trieste, over which
there has been such bitter fighting,
now flies the Italian flag, and Bel
grade, capital of Serbia, has been re-
occupied by the Serbians.
In France and Belgium the Ger
mans are being sorely harassed by the
British, French. Americans and Bel
gians, and there are indications of an
impending debacle.
Argonne Massif Cleared.
The Argonpe massif, which has
proved q great obstacle to the ad-
vance of the French and Americans,
at last has been cleared oflthe enemy
and the entire line appears to be
crumbling. American airmen report
that the enemy in front of the Amer

lagos, large numbers of prisoners and

The advance of the Americans and
French in the southern part Of the
battle front, taken in conjunction
with the operations of Field Marshal
Haig and the Belgians in the north,
threatens to prove the eliminating
blow to Germans attempts to hold

it is not improbable if the advance

Although the Austro- -Hungarians

mountains and on the plains, and will
continue under chastisement until
Monday afternoon at a o'clect when
a cessation of hostilities will take
place. Entire regiments are surren-

London, Nov. 3.-Regardless Of the
stern warnings from the associated
powers that we ere not vet out of the
woods, and that until Germany ac-
cepts the armistice terms the end
of the war is unassured, there is a dis
tinctly optimistic tone prevailing to-
day.
The Paris conference is said to have
completed the armistice terms and is
now engaged with the principles on
which peace terms will be founded
should Germany accept the armstice.
1t is assumed that Germany will re-
ceive the armistice terms and the
peace terms of the associated pow
ers together as il is pointed out that
she Is entitled to know what are the
peace principles to which she Is bind
ing herself before she submits to an
armistice expressly framed to render
her absolutely impotent to take up
arms again.
Some Criticism Expected.
This procedure will probably evoke
criticism from those both here and
in America who have argued that
Germany should first agree to an
armistice placing her absolutely at
the mercy Of the associated powers
and afterward be informed of the
conditions Of neaee TO !, he imposed
upon her.
The present suggested procedure is
the same in effect. the only difference
being that Germany will know when
signing the armtistice what sort of
peace she will be compelled to accept
Should she refuse to sign the armis-
tice and peace terms Will become
more stringent the longer she con-
tinues futile bloodshed
According to another statement
reaching here from Paris tonight, the
conference of the associated powers
at Versailles has so far been con-
cerned only with preliminaries. To-
morrow will be the first vital day.
The conference will then discuss two
highly important matters. First, the
place at which they will consider the
actual terms of any armistice they
may grant Germany In the second
place they will consider whether the
terms of an armistice will be pub
lished in q diplomatic communique or
placed in the hands of Commander in
Chief Foch.
London Outline of Armisticc
Terms.
There is a report in circulation pre-
dieting that the conditions of the
armistice conform in the main to the
forecasts already made when Ger
many first approached President Will
son to open negotiations. To afford
absolute security. the associated pow
ers require that they must be dras-
tic.
In addition to the bridgeheads over
the Rhine, they are said also to in
clude certain important towns beyond
the Rhine to strengthen these bridge
heads. They are said to include the
and demobilization of
the German army. except so far as
the associated governments consider
1t necessary that the German govern
ment should have an armed force

continues with the Italians and their
allies completing the destruction of
Austria's mighty army. 1t is esti-
mated that 1900 Austrian cannon
will be the total taken by the Ital-
ians in addition to vast quantities of
other war material.
The allied forces are ever press
ing on toward the frontier in the
mountains, They already have
reached the Val sugana where the
Italians are holding their line of a
year ago.
The Austrians are leaving their
wounded by the roadside or in houses.
Two thousand Austrian wounded were
deserted in Feltre without attendance
or medicine.
Udine has been evacuated.

At Vittorio a big petroleum deposit
was found, the Austrians not taking
the trouble to burn 1t. Great quantf-
ties of telegraph wire also was left
At Belluno a great de-
pot Of food and material was found
by the Italians.
The allies frequently captured long
trains of artillery, one train being
taken at Razi, it having been aban-
doned by the retreating Austrians in
their haste.
1t was on October 30 that the en-
emv received a mortal blow by
main attack across the river Piave.
This permitted the eighth army to
move to Vittorio and gave the fourth
army a chance to operateN
Then piece by piece, corps by corps
and division by division the Austrian
armies have fallen. When the ItaI-
ian fourth army reached Monte Cis-
mon. at the junction of the Brenta,
it gave the twelfth army chance to
operate at Feltre. in the upper Piave
valley, and also permitted the sixth
army to go into action in the Asiago
district.

Foch May Demand German
War Plans.
1t is stated that among numerous
other conditions of minor import
ance it is probable that Marshal Foch
demands the surrender of the archives

general staff.

opinion is still expressed in military
circles here that Germany will not

Allies Continue 20 Press War
With Vigor.
The associated armies and govern
ments are taking no chances and are
continuing to press the war by every
means until the armistice is actually
signed. They rightly discourage un-
due optimism, and the Versailles
council is as busily engaged in ar
ranging the intensification of the war
on land and in the air as in preparing
peace.
In fact Germany's foreknowledge
of what is awaiting her from the air
these coming weeks if she does not
surrender is known as a powerful
factor in inclining the people to long
for an end of hostilities.

Old Forms Broken Up.
I'm the terrible storms of the four
years of war, however, old forms

After the achievements of these
