STIFF TERMS GIVEN
TO AUSTRIAN ENVOY
White Flag Bearer Retires' to
Consult With Military
Chiefs at Front.

ROME. Nov Am official statement
issued by the Italian Government to-
day concerning the armstice, says:
An officer OF the Austrian General
Stag presented himself at the front
of our lines bearing credentials and
asked to discuss an armistice.
Gen. Diaz referred the question
to Premier Orlando. who is now in
Paris. who, In turn, informed the
inter-allied conference which dis
cussed and defined the conditions
upon which the armistice could be
granted. and charged Gen. Diaz in
the name OF the Governments OF the
Allies and the United States to COM
municate them to the Austrian white
flag bearers.
The conditions OF the armistice
are inspired by the principles OF
President Wilson, namely, to render
impossible for the enemy to recon-
mence war and TO prevent him from
profiting by an armistice TO withdraw
from a difficuit military situation. the
condition of the battle along our 'front.'
demonstrates the great value or these
terms.
As IL Is probable .he Austro-Hun-
es rian white nag bearers would wish
TO confer upon the subject with their
chiefs, II is supposed that the re-
Spouse may not be immediate.

EXIT DEHNEL

The following account of Paul Deb
nePs part in the comparison parade
of Renville county June Is, is taken
from the Bird Island Union:
Everything went lovely, until the
parade reached Bird Island, where a
crowd of patriots met with demand
to take off the banners. Sheriff Sun
de informed the Islanders tina. the
mayor and council had agreed to al
low the parade to pass through,
which was of course the law. A de-
ma1d was made on the sheriff for
the removal of Paul F. Dehnel Of
Minneapolis, notorious German SYM
pathizer, from the parade, who had
joined it at Olivia As Sheriff Sunde
had made the league leaders promise
to confine their paraders to Renvllle
county people and 20 remain within
the county limits, he Immediately or
dered the deputies to rmove Dehnel
from The parade and the county. He
was found, hiding behind his aged
mothers skirts; the same old mother
whom he was fond of beating up
when he lived il Renville county,
near Fairfax. He was roasted to
turn by the crowd, which included
Sergeant Billy Moore of the Canadi-
al army. Feelign ran high and Deb
1el sat in the car with his aged
mother in his lap, badly-scared
man. The Union editor was not
present, but it would have been a
great pleasure to have published in
the Union this week that Deh1el had
been hung by the crowd to a tele-
phone pole, although Bird Island is
not partrircular about cluttering up
It's American produced telephone
poles with such carrio1 as Dehnel.
He was taken to Franklin by Mar
shall Scott of that village, from there
