Austrians Forced BY
Italians to Send High
Officers With Truce FLAG

LONDON, Nov. 6.--The procedure
adopted by the Austrians in their ap-
plicaton last week for an arrnisticc is
described by the correspondent Of "The
Times" ut Italian headquarters
Toward the evening of October 90"
he says, can Austrian officer was seen
coming fsom the enemy trenches close
to Serravalle, above Ala, in the Adigc
Valley. 1t became evident at once that
the white flag was genuine, and Italian
officers went forward to meet him.
The officer, who was captain, de-
clared that he had come to discuss the
conditions of an ar1nistce. Taken to a
neighboring. command and questioned,
he was found not to have any autho ORR
tative papers and was sent back with q
message that more representative
and duly accredited mission should be
sent if the matter was to be pursued.
"wednesday evening q white flag was
again hoisted. At the head of small
group that approached the Italian
trenches was the Austrian General Won
Weber, a corps commander. The party
consisted Of eight persons and included
another general and naval and military
officers. There were also civilians,
either diplomatic or government rep
resentatives, and secretaries and typ
lists.
"Thcy were treated with every cour-
tesy, and when General Won Weber had
/ formally stated his mission and shown
that he was the bearer Of proper Gre
dentials he and his party we're driven
next day in motor cars to the Villa
Giusti. close to General Diaz's head
+ quarters. At 8 o'clock in the morning

viz. and on his arrival all the troops
present saluted and bugles were
sounded
"Eutering the villa, General Badoglio
found oil the Austrian mission standing
! in line in the drawing room awaiting
him. General Won Weber was in fuil
uniform, wearing the stars and ribbons
! of HIS orders. General Badoglio sa-
luted him and upon seating himself
asked the Austrian general his errand
General Won Weber replied that he had
come to ask the conditions upon which
an armistice would be granted. Gen
eral Badoglio answered that within al
hour he would let him know the gen
eral lines of such an armistice con-
tanned in written message. He then
| left the room, and the written message
! in question was at once sent to the
villa.
meanwhile kilograms were exchanged
with Versailles, and during the after
noon the precise details under which
an armistice would he granted were re-
ceived from Signor Orlando, the Italian
Prime Minister, and again in written
form handed to General Won Weber
During the evening one of the Austrian
cnvovs left by motor car for Serravalle

in the worst periods Of the Emperor's
rule. The fines imposed by the Boil
shevik commissars were incom parably
heavier than in the old days. when
They fined papers 10000 rubles for
publishing war news without pcrms-
sion. One Moscow paper was fined so
900 rubles for the offence. For spread
ing "provocative rumors," in Moscow
alone in one day four newspapers were
suppressed. five were heavily fined and
ten were indicted for reports tending
to discredit the government"
The publishers could not stand the
heavy drain of constant fines, the ed-
tors dreaded the prospect of a more
o. less protracted stay in prison, and
the reporters were afraid to write
about anything rejecting upon Bolshc-
vik methods, as that might be con-
strued an attempt to discredit the gov
ernment. A newspaper acquaintance of
the writer, member of the staff Of
most progressive daily. after having
been twice imprisoned and his paper
made to pay fine of 10000 rubles for
an inoffensive article, confessed that
he was at a loss what to do, how to
write.
Whenever public dissatisfaction be-
came too pronounced the government
suppressed all Bolshevik, "hour-
geois" publications. This example Of
Bolshevik craftsmanship was emulated
ty the Petrograd and other Soviets, so
that the Russian press entirely ceased
to exist.

made a living by writing for the press
