GENERAL ELECTION IN ENGLAND WILL
 BE POSTPONED

London, Wednesday, Nov. 6-Re- ports that German delegates have started from Berlin to meet Marshal Foch are considered here as an as- surance that fighting will be over in a few days. The last days of the war have been crowded with events that there is no capacity left for surprises or sensations.
 The terms of President Wilson s note to Germany dealing with the freedom of the seas and compensa- tion to the Allies, are endorsed by the press here. It is believed Ger many knew from the terms of the Austrian armistice the sort of peace she had to expect and that her mili- tary and political situations give her no alternative but to bow.
 News comes from the front that the hard pressed German armies have no fresh divisions left to throw into the battle.' They have no great re- serves of ammunition. The German people are demanding peace at any price. A few junker newspapers still are crying for war to the last ditch.
 
 speech in Germany as at present. Di- plomats and soldiers each are trying to place the blame for the country's downfall on the other. Placards ac- cording to Berlin declare that the Emperor and Crown Prince must go l. Discussion here centers about the peace conference. One of it's most urgent problems will be to arrange food supplies for starving Europe. Il is assumed that even the people o1 the Central Empires will be cared for. Consolidation of armies and the repatriation of soldiers, prisoners anG exiles including 150,000 Belgians ir | Great Britain are other great task! before the conference. According tC tonight's reports the general electior in Great Britain which Andrew Bon. | ar Law, chancellor of the exchequel | is expected to announce tomorrow fol l December ', will bG postponed be. l cause the government cannot hav | the election and the peace conference | on it's hands at the same time.

 Supplementary advices say the party is made up of Admiral von Hintze, former Foreign Minister; Vice Admi- ral Meurer, General Gruedell and Gen. eral Winterfeld, former German mil itary attache in Paris.
 Understanding in diplomatic and military circles here of the procedure to be followed in the negotiations [ varies. It is generally believed that the enemy must decide at once, limit of 24 hours for consideration being set. Diplomats suggest that this time may be extended to five days, but in any event a barley. will be circum- scribed to eliminate the possibility of extended debate.

 There was no confirmation of the report yesterday afternoon at the State Department, but officials said that the news of the departure of the delegation probably was correct. It should arrive some time today.
 The procedure to be followed will bs
 the presentation of terms to this del egation, and then the enemy's indica- ton as to whether or not they are ae- ceptable.

 Meantime, from the military stand point there is every reason. to believe that Germany will capitulate. The allied armies, with those of the Unit ed States, are advancing like wildfire along the entire battlefront, accord ing to dispatches received here, and every minute increases the danger of a. precipitate rout of the German forces Besides, the splendidly trained and equipped armies of Italy ars waiting only for the word to begin an advance into Germany by way of Austria

GERMANY BREAKS
 WITH THE SOVIETS

Copenhagen, Nov. 7-The break between Germany and the Russian Soviet government, which developed yesterday, was foreshadowed by the Berlin newspapers recently when they charged that the Russian embassy in Berlin was the central point for the distribution of seditious literature. They pointed out that more than 400 couriers had been employed by M. Joffre, the Russian Ambassador, dur ing the short period he had been in Berlin.
 Ambassador Joffre categorically de- nied the charges, but the accidental discovery of package of inflamma- tory handbills in the luggage of a Bolshevikt courier was held to dem onstrate the falsity of M. Joffre's statement and was promptly followed by the breach in diplomatic relations.
