GERMANY CIV EN ALLIED TERMS OF
 ARMISTlCE
MEANS SURRENDER AND IMMEDIATE END OF WAR
 IF ACCEPTED BY ENEMY
Terms Not Made Known, but Those Im- posed on Austria Furnish Accurate Indication of Their Nature, Says
 Secretary Lansing.

Washington, Nov 4-Terms upon which Germany may obtain an innmed- fate armistice and end the war were completed and signed today in Paris. Secretary Lansing announced the fact tonight in brief statement, ad- 1 ding only that complete diplomatic harmony had been achieved by the al- lied and American conierees at Yer sailles. | It may be stated authoritativeiy that the terms, not yet given out for pub lication, follow closely those under which Austria, Hungary surrendered today and passed out of the war, leav- ing Germany to stand alone against the world
 I It is believed in official circles here tonight that the stipulations will be in I the hands of the German government in less than "A hours. If they are ac- cepted a reply settling the issue of peace or further fighting may also be received within that time. The un- certainty caused President Wilson to cancel tonight his proposed trip to New Jersey tomorrow to east his vote in the congressional elections. Although the complete text of the historic Versailles document proba- ply is only now on the cables for Washington, it's substance has been reported upon fully and approved by the president before the final draft was prepared
 Means Absolute Surrender.
 It is said the terms are to be sub mitted to Germany immediately and that their publication in full will fol- low soon. The statement has been au- thorizeQ that the drastic conditions under which Austria dropped out of the war today furnish an accurate in dication of their nature.
 The terms of the Austrian sIrmistice which are said. to be no more drastic than those to be offered Germany. are interpreted to mean absolute surrend- CT. Nothing is left to the good faith Of the vanquished and no restrictions or limitations are imposed upon the vlctors. These officers believe Ger many, left alone, also must throw her. self without reserve upon the mercy of the victors.
 Final adjustments, territorial or otherwise, all are deferred to the peace conference for which the cessation of hostilities paves the way. The Ger man appeal for an armistice was sub mitted on the basis of acceptance of the peace terms already outlined by President Wilson and when the discus sion starts the allies and the United States will be in a position to dictate it's results. In fact, the real peace conference has been sitting at Yer sailles.
 Believe Germany Win Accept.
 Army officers believe the situation "SSSSAA AIOAt III a.. mllltarY sense is so threatening that Germany must accept the armistice conditions or face debacle of her armies.
 Signs of the disintegratton of the German forces facing Franco-Ameri- can lines have been evident for two days. The German official statement yesterday admitted an American break through. If the breach is widened the German armies will be cut in half as effectually as were the Austrian armies in Italy. They may then he crushed separately.
 | So strong is the belief here that Germany will accept that when word came that statement was to be is- sued by the State Department tonight Washington newspaper put out an extra, saying the war was over and Germany had surrendered It caused no excitement.
