GERMANY s DOOM
IS INEVITABLE
I W|TR0U7'A AUSTRIA
She Is Now Wavering on Brink
of Surrender.
FOCH WILL STATE TERMS
Next Peace Communications Will Be
on Field Of Battle Between Foch
and Hindenburg.

London. Oct. 2S.-Suspicion. with
which every German move, rightly or
wrongly. is regarded here, is absent
from the view taken of the Austrian
position. While German wayers on
the brink of surrender, il is said,
Austria-Hungary has taken the
plunge
The British Government has re-
ceived a communication of Count An
drassy's unconditional acceptance Of
all the conditions upon which Presi-
dent Wilson made the entry into nego-
tiations regarding armistice and
peace dependent. Comparisons to the
disadvantage OF Germany and 10 the
advantage of Austria!Hungary are
made between the plain whole-heart
edness of the Austro-Tfungarian ac-
ceptance and the verbal trickeries
which possibly exist in the guarded
language OF the German notes
Austria-iungary has followed Bull
garia in complete surrender, fac'
which, IL is pointed out, is very i'm
portant because il completes the iso-
lation OF Germany Germany's re
luctance to tread the same path is
comprehensive. but that she will in
evitably be forced to walk this way
is beyond doubt.
Although the terms of armistice to
Austria-Hungary may not repeat in all
respects the terms TO Bulgaria, IL Is
assumed that. in one case. as in the
other, provision will be made for the
Allies to use the territory and rail.
ways of the surrendering country
against any associate who continues
tho war
The news of the AustrO-Hungarian
surrender can only strengthen the de
termination OF the military and naval
chiefs of the Allies to exact adequate
guarantees that Germany, il granted
an armistice, will be in no position TO
renew hostilities in case the terms OF
peace ultimately to se put before her
do not meet her views as to what con
| stitutes a peace of Justice.
While all the world waits ON the
decisions TO be rendered in Paris. II is
expected here that the essential feat
ure OF the reply which will be made
to Germany will be that the German
high command shall send emissaries
under a white flag, to learn from Mar
shall Foch what are his terms OF
armistice, as Ceneralissimo of all the
allied armies on the western front.
In other words. the next converse

Ways of Saving Money to Buy Bonds.
We can save money by trying to
keep well, in order to do so we must
avoid standing or sitting in draft
We must keep our feet dry at all
times, brush our teeth well every day
and have the dentist look them over
vice year, and eat only good nour
shing foods such as eggs. milk. and
OTIS of good bread and butter
Another way to save is TO think
carefully before buying necessaries
When buying clothes choose conserva
i've styles because they can be worr
'onger and usually cost less than the
more extreme ones. by careful mend
ng and pressing they will last much
cnger than If neglected
BY cleaning our shoes every day
Fith a good oil paste they will weal
much longer than If not cleaned at all
DO not scuff feet along when wear
ing rubbers. IN this way we are sav
ng money as shoes and rubbers ar,
luite expensive now, and both are
very necessary.
We can save by buying less candy
ice cream, peanuts and chewing gum
Do not ride in trolley care where w
,an walk and do not burn two light
where one will do
Boys can earn and save money b!
running errands, by moving and rak
ing lawns and in many other ways.
In being careful in all these way'
We can save more money to hu!

SENATE BATTLES
over WILSON 5
RECENT APPEAL
Senator Knox Attacks Presi.
dents Political Stroke
OBJECTS TO THE TERMS
Republicans Do Not Want Senate's
Prerogative AS Treaty-Makins
Power usurped by President

Washington, Oct. PA protest
against any y ace terms dictated by
President Wils@ol alone. and not rep
resentative of American public opin-
ion through Senate consideration Of
the peace treaty, was made in the Sen
ate yesterday by Senator Knox of Pen
nsylvania, republican, and former sec
retary of state, in an address charging
the president with political partisan
shir.
The presidents peace terms were
referred to by Senator Knox as ideas
scattered through various addresses.
BE they wise, be they foolish he
said, that is not the question. The
question is, shall the conditions upon
which the Senaote and the American
people believe they can safely live at
peace with Germany and the world
shall these conditions be decided by
the fiat of one man or shall they be
tested by the unbiased sober judg-
ment Of the nations representatives +?
Are the American people equal to
the obligation of democracy, or are
they merely ascomplacent people, in.
tellectually lndolent lazily acquies-
cent, looking for masters and not
leaders?
THE still more difficult questions
, OF reconstruction after the war are to
hn MN hrr hot -
American people by their action in
the next election wish TO make both
the terms of peace and the reconstruc
tion after the .war depend on the un.
controlled viii of Woodrow Wilson
That is the isue which he puts TO
them in his speal.'
Mr. Knox ntrasted what he called
"the partisan nip and secrecy Of the
present administration with Lincoln's
attitude.
''Of this partiss. ~" he said. re
publicans are tn eclAiar victims.
Under its secrecy e.. 4 its aversion to
tsking counsel democ.ats and repub-
licans In Congress, In office and with
one conspicuous exception in private
life, appear equally to suffer"
Analysing the presidents peace
terms, Senator Knox said that con
ceeding propriety OF many, still the
principal object of the war was tC

she could not again menace the
world ION this we shall require the
word Of Foch, of Haig, of Diaz and
OF Pershing', he continued. 1--WE
