The State Council

AMSTERDAM. Nov. 5. - The State
Council at Vienna has issued an ap-
peal to the German people of Austria
in which it is declared the country is
in danger and the army breaking up
IN disorder; The, appeal exhorts the
soldiers voluntarily to JOIN the Ger
nan-Austrian army corps.
The appeal points out that Germans
from non-German districts are going
home, while German soldiers, Obvious,

war. are leaving their units without
cons idering that the irregular demobi-
ization brings the danger of wide
spread unemployment. hunger, and
misery" The prison camps are being
abandoned by their guards, the coun-
Gil adds, and Italians. Russians, and
Serbians are leaving the camps and
flooding the country.
This danger" the appeal declares,

Austria, to prevent resumption of
hostilities in case Germany should
break her word.
When NJ. Clemenceau referred to
himself as "the last signer of the Bor-
deaux protest against the dismember-
ment Of Alsace-Lorraine" the house
rose and cheered him. He paid a trh-

not have triumphed," said the Premier.
None of the Allies would have tri-
umphed. Our ancestral enemies, the
English. have become our indestruc-
tible friends"
Before the Premier read the armis-
tice terms, Paul Deschanel, President
OF the Chamber, paid an eloquent
tribute to the victorious Allied armies.
AFTER Bulgaria, Turkey; after Tur~
key, Austria" said Nj. Deschanel. "The
Franco-American armies are delivering

The whole chamber then rose and

the ambassador stood and bowed his
acknowledgment. A similar scene WAS
enacted when NJ. Deschanel referred to
the Serbians.
M. Mayeras, Socialist, asked the gov
ernment TO fix date for an interpefla-
tion as TO whether the government was
IN accord with President Wilson's four

Only Charity Saves Foe
Germany Deserves To Be Laid
Waste, Says Educator

"lf it we're not for Christian charity
we should refuse to treat with the
Hun before his cities are desolated,
his country laid waste and his people
hlled with some of the dread which he
infused into the hearts Of those whose
lands he invaded and devastated"
This denunciation Of Germany was
thundered last night by the Very Rev.
Joseph A. Mulry. S. j., president of
Fordham University, in his address on
Unconditional Surrender-and Recon-
struction" at dinner Of the Rotary
Club in the McAlpin Hotel.
DR.. Mulry characterize the accept
ance of unconditional surrender before
invading Germany as mild punish
ment, deemed sufficient only because
of our sense of Christian charity" He
declared that the Kaiser was not fully
responsible, but that the fault rested
on German teachings and doctrines.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-06

Very soon after the address was de-
livered, anxiety developed in Europe,
and particularly In England, as to just
what was meant by Article 2.
British Apprckensivc
Apprehension was openly expressed
in the English press that this involved
an abandonment Of the right Of block
ade, and Of the right to capture enemy
property on the high seas, and per-
haps even curtailment of the right
to maintain fortified naval bases;
which might not only render the Brit
ish navy largely valueless rs an often
sivo agency, but limit its usefulness
in protecting the empire.
Lator it appeared that these we're
precisely the objects sought by Ger
many, whose war lords hoped to neu-
tralizc the predominance of British
naval force while maintaing in full
efficiency it's own land armies.
Alsace- Lorraine is not mentioned in
the alleged memorandum. The En-
tente governments know, however, and
it is assumed that the Germans under
stand, that by "righting tho wrong"
done to France President Wilson
meant in the terms accepted by Ger
many the return of the lost provinces
to France.

Italia Irredenta Will Be Occu-

(SpecidL DiApGtch 10 The Trihualol

Especial Dispatch to The Tribumo)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.--Under the
terms of the armistice concluded be-
tween Austria Hungary and the Allies,
all the nationalities of the Dual Mon
archy, as we'll as Italy and Serbia, have
their interests protected. Italian occu-
patton will take place in territories
recognized as Italia Irredenta and other
territories, including all strategic
points, may be garrisoned by the AL
lies.
In regard to Jugoslavia, it was
learned to-day that the Allied govern
ments have taken cognizance of the
fact that the Croats, Slovenes and
Serbs Of Austria-Hungary have not yet
had an opportunity of declaring their
wishes in respect to the proposed
union OF those peoples with Serbia, un-
der the plan of Corfu, and there is an
expectation in Entente quarters here
that the Croatian Diet correctly rep
resented the will of the Croatian peo-
pie when 1T voted to remain in Austria.
=, lhe so-called aspirations of the
south Slavs for independence have at
talned declarations of sympathy from
America and the Allied nations, but
lnasmuch as there has been doubt CON
cernlng the correctness Of the repre-
sentatlons made by the professed
sspokesmen, of the Croats, Slovenes and
austrian Serbs in the Allied countries,
the principle of self determination has
been held to be sufficient to determine
the wishes Of the various Jugo-slay
populations.
lnelf chief organization, known as
the Jugo-Slav committee, in London. has
not secured the political recognition of
the Allies and America such as has
ocen accorded to the Czecho-S Slovak
AND Pollsb organizations. 1t was in
dicated IN an authoritative quarter to-
day that plebiscites most probablv
would be required in both Croatia ana
Slovenia to establish the will of those
peoples; but that in the case of Bos-
ma, Herzegovina no plebiscite would
DC held, as those provinces stand unon
practical parity with Italia Irredenfa
ana A!sace- Lorraine and would he
awarded to Serbia without discussion.
Inc action of the Croatian Diet
seems to reflect the sentiments of the
SSroatlans IN the United States. who
nave held aloof from the Jugo-Slav
Propaganda;. but there is difference
IN one particular, for while the Diet
declared for union with Austra ~. 49,

Lloyd George Tells Commons
Foe Must Ask Foch for Terms

LONDON, Nov. 5.---Thc Allies have
decided that Germany must apply to
Marshal Foch, the Allied commander in
chief, for an armisticc, Premier Lloyd
GcoDgc stated in the House of Com
mons to-day
The terms agreed upon by the Allies
the Premier added. have been trans
mitted to President Wilson, with a re-
quest that he inform tha German gov
ernment that if they wished to know
the conditions they should apply to
Marshal Foch in the usual military
form.
Whatever Germany's reply might be-
the associated powers awaited the issue
with perfect confidence.
Mr.. Lloyd George stated that if the
application was made by Germany it
had been decided that the British naval
representatives would be associated
with Marshal Foch st the conference.
Premier Lloyd George said that the
New-York tribune., 1918-11-06

Premier, "are what President Wilson
himself recommended to us for the se-
curity of our troops, the maintenance
of our military superiority, and the
disarmament of the enemy, insofar as
that Is necessary to prevent resump-
tion Of hostiiities."
NJ. Clemenceau declared that peace
might not be so near as some might
think, but that he could, however, as
sure the chamber that "the fate of the
peoples henceforth was fixed" There
was prolonged cheering when the
Premier announced that the Allies had
obtained the use Of all means of
transport in Austria Hungary.
Called "Father Of Victory"
M. Clemenceau was hailed as the
Father of Victory" as he mounted the
tribune to announce the terms of the
Austrian ~srmistice. The Deputies all
stood. The ovation lasted several
minutes.
During an address following the
reading OF the armistice terms there
was intermittent cheering, especially
when the Premier spoke of the 3D.
proach' of full victory, the defeat of
Austria-Hungary and the complete
glory Of France. The usual Socialist
interruptions occurred, but the aged
Premier remained unperturbed, def
antly smothering tHe taunts OF the Oh.
position. The Chamber passed q reso-
= luton providing that the speech of NJ.
Clemenceau should be posted through
out France.

Versailles has drawn up the terms of

were sent yesterday to President viii
son, who, If he approves them, will
make them known to the imperial and
democratic government"
At this point the house burst int
laughter.
1T will then be time enough for
Germany to address herself to Foch, u
the Premier added.

the front, but solely because Of orders
to do so from the civil government,
now at least nominally in control
For this reason the Americans and
Allied leaders determined that to con-
vince the German people themselves
that their idolized and feared military
machine had been crushed, the military
leaders must be forced to cnpitulate
on the field of battle.
Ideas Different
The important reservation by the
Allies as to freedom of tho seas Is said
hero to be due largely to desire to
avoid n later protest Of deception, since
it is known that the German idea Of
freedom of the seas Is very different
from that held eithor in Washington
or the Allied capitals.
President Wilson's own statement
on this subject, which has been ac-
cepted by the Germans, was contained
in the fourteen principles enunciated
in his address to Congress Of last
January 8. The second clause said:
"Absolute freedom of navigation
upon the seas, outside territorial
waters, alike in peace and in war, ex-
cept as tho seas may be closed in whole
or in part by international action for
the inforcemcnt Of international COW
cnants."
New-York tribune., 1918-11-06

Versailles conference had decided that
Marshal Foch should be placed in su-
preme direction of the forces operating
against Germany on all fronts.
The Prime Minister assured the
Czecho- -Slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs that
their allies intended to come to their
aid as fast as they could.
Austrian Soil Accessible
Commenting on the Austrian armis-
tice terms, Premier Lloyd George said
the most important point was that they
gave to the Allies free use Of Austro-
Hungarian territory and communica-
tions for operations of war.
When it was considered that the
events Of the last few weeks had liber-
ated all the Allied forces operating
against Turkey, Bulgaria and Austria
Hungary and that these forces were to
be used in great converging final at
tack upon Germany, the full signifi-
cance of the terms would be apparent.
