Belgian and japanese Rep
resentatives Join in
the Discussion

Paris, Nov. 1.-The arnist1ce terms
to be submitted to Germany will be
continued strictly to military re-
qutrements, except that it will be
brought out clearly that they are
conditioned generally upon President
Wilson's principles with some def
niteness.
Today deliberations in connection
with the armistice proposition were
participated in by Belgian and jap
anese representatives, the days
meeting having to do with Germany.
When Austrian affairs were discuss
ed yesterday Serbian and Greek rep
resentatives were in attendance be-
cause Of their particular interest in
Austrian matters.
The prime ministers of the allied
countries for several days have been
doing the principal part OF their
work in the small back parlor OF the
apartment occupied by Colonel
House. A small American telephone
exchange has been put into the
apartment by the army signal corps
and an American telephone girl ma
nipulates the plugs. The telephone
wires run from the various army
headquarters and also from the for
eign offices in London and Rome.

London, Nov. 1.-THE complete
isolation of Germany as result of
the desertion and surrender Of her
allies is commented upon here as the
outstanding feature of the latest de-
velopments in the Colossal drama
of victory.
The effect, of this isolation upon.
her armies, coupled with the desper-
ate internal conditions in Germany,
is regarded almost everywhere as
bringing the end Of the war near, all
though in some quarters warning is
raised that the German army and
navy are still in existence and, in
the hands of desperate men. are for
midabIe and dangerous.
The general tenor Of comment,
however. indicates a belief that Ger
many must sooner or later accept
virtually any terms the allies i'm
pose. There is considerable specu-
lation as to the extent Germany will
be able to oppose the carrying out
of the terms Turkey has accepted.
1t is unknown whether German
garrisons still hold the Dardanelles
forts and the other defenses of Con-
stantfnople while resistance by the
Germanized Russian Black Sea feet
ifs regarded as a serious possibility.
Even If the forts are evacuated pas
sage Of the straits may not, it is
suggested, be without danger, as it
is assumed they are still mined and
must. in any event. be swept before
ships can pass through.

Great Possibilities In

By British Newspapers

the location OF all mines Is known to
the Turks and that paper believes
that when they undertook to open
the straits the Turks also agreed to
help the British to clear up the mine
fields
The immense possibilities follow
ing the Turkish collapse are discuss
ed by the newspapers, among the
hopeful auguries being the rescue OF
Rumania and the end Of Boishevik
tyranny in Russia.

the Black sea to attack the German
naval forces there.
These forces include ships of the
Russian Black Sea fleet taken over
by the Teutons after the collapse OF
