WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-Austria-
Hungary, the last and most powerful
ally Of Germany, passed out of the
world war today under terms Of alb
jcct surrender
Not only have the armed forces Of
the once powerful Austro- Hungarian
empire laid down their arms to
await the end Of the war and peace
terms dictated by the allies and the
United States, but Austro- Hungarian
territory is open for operations
against Germany. Even the muni-
tions of the former ally are to he

fusal to accept conditions now being
prepared for them make prolonged
fighting necessary.
The terms which stopped the vic
torious advance on the Italian front
were accepted by the Austrian COM
mander-in-c chief in the field in the
name OF the Vienna government and
their execution is guaranteed by
thorough beating already admins
tered which had converted the de-
teated army into "A disorganized,
fleeing horde.
Terms Drastic.
Even the terms imposed previous
" upon Bulgaria and Turkey hardly
we're so drastic. In addition to all
OF the military precautions. the
AustrlanS are compelled to retire
from a wide strip of territory with
ing the borders OF their empire when
the war began, surrenderinng all of
Italia lrredentia and thereby losing
any advantage for argument over
boundaries around a peace table.

More Than Asked For.
A map OF survey of the geograph-
lcal lines fixed for Austrian evacua-
uon shows that the area is even
greater than that set by the Italians
as the goal OF their ambition when
they entered the war. At that time
the Italian leaders carefully outlined
and indicated on their war maps the
territory along their borders which
Ihey deemed 1t necessary that they
acquire for racial and sentimental
reasons and also TO insure the seCur-
''y OF their frontiers.
In decreeing AuStria's surrender

closely, but have enlarged upon 1t ~
some extent. The right OF occupa-
