Won Hindenburg, in his message to
the German army said that the threat
of famine caused the acceptance of
the armistice," says Marcel Hutin of
the Echo De Paris. But while food
difficulties played a part in the de.
feat Of Germany. the determining
cause of the German collapse was the
fact that the enemy's army was on the
brink of disaster"
The first words the German plenipo-
tentiaries said. to Marshal Foch were.
in substance, "Germany's army is at
your mercy, Marshal. Our reserves of
men and munitions are completely ex-
hausted, making it impossible for US

by the National Assembly and the

as president was ratified, according to
an official dispatch from Prague.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-If the Jugo-
Slavs achieve their aspirations they
will have a state of about the same
area as Italy.
DR. Ante Trumbig, president of the
Jugo-Slav committee, which has just
arrived in London, gives a comprehen-
sive outline of his peoples aims, the
first of which is that all the Jugo-Slav
lands shall be liberated from Austria
Hungary and united with the inde-
pendent kingdom of Serbia and Monte
negro into one Jugo-Slav state.
Our state" said DR.. Trumbig,
should comprise the territory bound
ed on the east by Bulgaria and Ru-
mania, on the north by Hungary, on
the west by the Adriatic, on the north
west by German-Austria, and on the
south by Greece and Albania"
These boundaries take in about one
hundred thousand square miles, with
Croats First to Rebel.
81 cannot say" Dr. Trumbig con-
tinued, what place we should make
our capitol, nor the kind Of govern
ment we are likely to establish
When we are liberated there will be
constituent assembly, which will settle
everything in regard to government
and administration.
Our industries are in an embry-
onic stage. We have not been able
to develop them because our oppres-
sors have always tried to concentrate
our industries in their hands They
have exploited our land by taking the
raw materials. Our country is rich in
a agricultural products, wood, iron, cop
per, aluminium and COAL The Aus
trians took our wood from Bosnia, and

eve came under the Austrian yoke
as far back as 1927, when the Croa-
tians chose the Austrian emperor,
Ferdinand l, for their king. They ex-
pected great help from him in expel-
ling the Turks, who had already con-
quered Serbia, Bosnia and part of
Croatia. The Croatians were to re-
main fully autonomous people. In
course of time, the Austrians almost
suppressed our autonomy In 1908,
they broke their agreement by making
our country an integral part Of their
territory and this nearly caused
European war;
Referring to the act of Croatian in
fantry in disarming the Magyar-Hon-
we'd garrison at. Fiume, Mr.. Trumbig
said it was significant and interest
ing fact that the Croats thus were the
first to raise armed rebellion in
Austria Hungary.
This Croatian regiment" he went
on, has vindicated the right of Croatia
to Fiume, which was stolen from the
Croats"
