Herald today.
The newspapers Intentionally give
little information in regard to the
battle going o n and the results OBJ
tained. They hold themselves gen.
erally to the official statement. All
the critics are enthusiastic over the
success obtained yesterday. BY TAX
ing the initiative, it is held, General
Foch has compelled the Germans, at
the moment Of boasting that they
were delivering a supreme peace as
sault, to s their reserves at the
point and time selected by the gen.
eralissimo.
The Echo de Paris expresses tho
conviction that the Franco-American
success will be confirmed fully today.
1t says the German general staff will
do its utmost to straighten out its
affairs. but the Allies have the up
rer hand. The question for General
Ludendorf now is not whether to
enter Epernay, declares the Matin,
but to consider means for the saliva
ton of the divisions he. has thrown
across the Marine.

Fifteen Austrian divisions operat- ing between the Brenta and the Piave on the Italian front have had their retreat cut off through the cap ture of the mountain pass of Vadal by Italian and Allied troops.
 Official wireless despatches from Rome today say the advantage is be- ing pressed to the utmost and that a crisis is near. Enemy losses are de- scribed as appalling.
 Occupation of the valley of Quero by the Italian army corps operating north of Valdobbiadene threatens Feltre and exposes the Austrians in the Grappa region to fianking movement, which it is said will com pei immediate retirement.
 The Third Italian army on the flower Piave is reported advancing steadily in the face of desperate enemy resistance.
 In all, more than 100000 square kilometres of Italian territory was reconquered yesterday and apparently |. the whole front is being driven north ward.
 The despatches f1atly deny the Aus trian claim that territory across the Piave is being evacuated voluntarily.
 Venice now is safe since the Third army has driven back the Austrians in the lower plain. Italian cavalry is advancing rapidly at many points.
 Apparently the Austrian forces which were along the Piave will have great difficulty in reaching the hills st of the Isonzo They have been separated from the armies in the mountains west of the Piave and the Allies already threaten their rear from the region of Vittorio. Along the bwer Piave the Italian third army has crossed the river and taken up the pursuit. In the center the Ital- ians have taken Oderzo while farther north they have advanced beyond vittorio in the direction of Bellinuo. In the retreat over the 55 miles be-

FOCH'S TERMS PROBABLY IN BERLIN

London, Oct. 31-MarshaI Foch's armistice terms arrived in Berlin Tuesday night, it was learned from Copenhagen today.
 No information had reached Wash ington today through either diplo- matic channels to indicate that the American and Allied military repre- sentatfv in France had completed their work of framing terms upon which Germany might be granted an armistice. It was assumed that the report of the arrival of Marshal Foch's terms at Berlin Tuesday was based upon press despatches of Tues day from London purporting to out line what would be demanded of Ger many.

 The scope of the deliberations of the Allied representatives has not been announced and although it is stated from reliable source, some official declaration of armistice terms possibly may be made before the end of the present week, nothing def1- nitely is known about them.
