Austria's Surrender.

Austria's complete surrender, as the
reports indicate the acceptance Of
armistice terms to be, is the logical
result Of the events Of the past fort
night. Revolution has riven the state.
The divergent peoples long held under
a single government have claimed the
right of self-expressien. The allied
armies have driven forward to and
even upon Austrian soil. The Austro-
Hungarian forces have become de-
moralized and weakened by defectiens.
Captures to total of 100000 men have
been effected. Continuation of the
war in such circumstances was hope
less. Austria had no other course than
to submit.
Technically, Austria began tie war
by making impossible demands of
Serbia on the score Of the assassina-
ton at Serajevo. That she was in
spired, possibly compelled, to this
course by Germany is believed by most
people. Certainly if she had not had
assurances Of full support from Ber-
lin she would not have presented an
ultimatum to Serbia in terms that
meant rejection and Russian interfer-
enee.
Now, after over four years Of war
in which her forces have never borne
themselves with credit, Austria not
only ceases to fight, but we'll nigh
ceases to exist. Hungary has revolted
and is in the throes of strife between
her own divergent elements. The
Czeehs of Bohemia have set up an in
dependent state. The southern Slavs
have declared themselves free of Aus
trian dominion. Italian forces have
reoeeupied all the areas Of the "irre-
denta." The German-Austrians have
declared themselves in favor Of a sep
arate organization.
Strictly speaking, there are no
"Austrians" Austria-Hungary, or
Austria" as it has been commonly
known, was a combination Of Germans,
Magyars, Czechs, Slavs, Poles and Ru-
manians. Austria proper was domi-
mated by the German element as Hun
gary was dominated by the Magyars.
It will be difficult in the reorganiza-
ton to follow the war to create a dis
tinctively Austrian state, and the
future maps of Europe may show no
trace of this once proud and mighty
empire.

The Armistice Terms.

The armistice terms granted to Aus
tria announced today are severe. to the
point Of involving complete surrender
in the field. Austria demobilizes her
armies and evacuates all occupied ter
ritory to fixed line beyond the pres
ent range of fighting, and reduces her
forces within her own territory to the
basis Of the pre-waf electives. The
allies are to have full power Of move.
ment over roads, railroads and water
ways in Austria. Hungary, including
the Danube, and are to occupy strategic
points in Austfia-Hungary necessary
for military operations and the main:
tenance Of order. All allied civilian
and military prisoners are to be sur
rendered. Portions of the Austrian
navy are to be surrendered and the re-
mainder disarmed and put under al
lied control.
These terms, considered in the light
Of these granted to Turkey, may indi.
cate the proposals that will be made to
Germany as the only basis upon which
an armistiee can be granted. By the
acceptance Of their respective armistiee
terms Turkey and Austria have capt.
ulated. Similar terms rendered to and
accepted by Germany will mean sur
render.

The Battle.

This is the day before. Party man
ayers are eonfdent-for publication.
They could not be otherwise without
violating the'rules of the game. Their
duty is plain, and laid down for them.
Their private opinions are their own.
They have done their best, we may
all be sure, to inform themselves as to
the situation. But they have labored
at great disadvantage. Indeed, they
have labored In circumstances unique
N our affairs. Everything is new, and
some things are puzzling in the e1-
frcme. "Indian not lost. Wigwam
lost" The gentle savage did not want
IL confess his limitations.
Wednesday will be the day after.
We shall all be wiser then, and able
10 crown the true prophets. That is
to say, We shall be able to tell whose
guesses have hit the marx. For every.

The end Of the campaign witnesses
the whole Of the administration in ae-
ton. The President led the procession
into the ring. The Vice President aud;
every member of the cabinet keep him
company. All are there, and all max
ing partisan appeals for votes. If the
spectacle Is unusual, so are the times.
If there is surprise in any quarter,
there is small reason for it. For
months-ever since the senatorial cam.
paign in Wiseonsin-the signs have
pointed to what has since taken place,
and is now in general evidence.
Whatever tomofrow's verdict, the
country will accept it. No matter
which party wins, the organization of
the new House will be easy of fore
cast. The leaders in the present
House are candidates for reelection,
and all reasonably certain of success
So that, whether the democrats or the
republicans control, the Speaker, the
leader of the majority, and the chair
men of the principal committees will
stand confessed at once.
The same is true as to the Senate.
Continued control by the democrats
will mean a continuation of the pres
ent Organization, while a transfer of
control to the republicans will find
them prepared and disposed to assign
their members according to the rude
of seniority in committee service.
On the eve of the battle the country
is calm, and there is no reason to ex-
pect undue excitement after the bat
tie is over. -

Grade Crossing Slaughter.

0x0VOeS4OoOAA6 040USAtN4s
A long record of fatalities at the
Hyattsville grade crossing Is extended
by the shocking tragedy Of Saturday
night. A fast train struck a motor
ear and killed two people. This point
has been one of the giavest danger for
years and the only protection afforded
the public has been a gate, not re-
liably operated, and an automatic bell
signal, not always heard. Saturday
night substitute Waterman was On
duty. That he did not lower the gate
on the approach of the train Is charged.
In any case reliance upon such IN IN
Trustworthy method Of wafnins Is
again proved perilous.
Each successive kiffing e the
Hyattsvi1le crossing adds to the bur
den Of responsibility upon those who
tolerate this condition. Ample wa1a-
ing has been given in the past that the
place is dangerous and that the @safe-
guards" are indispensable. Yet moth
ing has been done, even to insure the
lowering Of the gates. Meanwhile the
conditions have grown worse with the
increase of traffic on the highway.
