first handed to Col. House by the
United Press.
"Will n separate peace be the

Russia querying as to when Amer.
ican forces will evacuate that terri
tory. This is taken only as a rather
insolent suggestion not representa-
tive of the feeling OF the mass OF
Russians.
As for the Austro.Italian situation,
the Austrian army bids fair to sui.

In view of the army developments.
there is real funny-page copy in
an official Austrian announcement
that Italian soil is being evacuated
"in view of our desire for peace"
Unconditional surrender of the
Austro-Gcrman armies will be de-
manded by Gen. Diaz when the Aus.
TRANS hoist the flag OF truce. Italian

conditions Emperor Charles must
submit'to before he can have peace

tons were particularly pleased. be-
lieving that the presidents influence

Ally Council Silent
Positive facts about the Versailles
conference now Strengthening out
war aims and armistce considera
lions were clothed In secrecy today.
The general understanding here
Is that no definite announcements
will be made until the conference
comes forth with n full. united state
ment of agreement on peace terms
and perhaps simultaneously with ar
mistce conditions. Reports that ar.
mistice terms had already been sent
Germany caused surprise.
IL is pointed out that there are
three courses Germany may pursue
when these terms come out. namely:
First. reject them completely
and continue the war.
Second. accept them and end
the war.
Third. protest loudly and eth
er try 10 stir her people TO press
the war. or seek to bargain over
terms.
The third course is one which
many foresee as the most likely.
Expect Enemy Protest
Whether her protestauons would
end in compromise or in German ac
ceptance are questions only the fu.
ture knows.
While the president has declared
for open door diplomacy. there are
some symptoms OF applying the Sc
cret variety TO the Versailles ses.
sion. tho. It is assumed, publicity
will come eventually.
The reason for the present Sc.
crecy is said to be that the nations
involved do not want to forewarn
Germany and give her a chance to
prepare propaganda offsetting the
allied determinations.
Notes are coming so thick and
fast now that even Secretary Ian.
sing is growing a bit confused The
latest reported note Is that from
