TERMS TO AUSTRIA

ROME, November 2-The allied
terms to Austria, in response to her
application for an armistice. have
been handed by Gen. Diaz, the italian
commander-in-chief, to Austrian on
GERS who entered tho line bearing q
white nag. omcial announcement to
this effect was made today.
The conditions Of the armistice arc
inspired by the principles Of Presi-
dent Wilson; namely, to render It Inn
possible for tho enemy to recommence
the war and to prevent him from
profiting by the armistice to withdraw
from a diflcult military situation.
An Official statement by the italian
government today concerning the
armistice says:
IAN omcer Of the Austrian general
stan presented himself at the front Of
our lines bearing credentials and
asked to discuss an armistice.
Gen. piaz referred the question to
Premier, Orlando. who now is in Paris,
who in turn informed the interalied
conferences, which discussed and de-
fined the conditions upon which the
armistice could be granted. and
charged Gen. Diaz in the name Of the
governments Of the allies and the
United States to communicate them to
the Austrian white dag bearers.
'The conditions of the armistice are
inspired by the principles Of Presi-
dent Wilson namely. to render impos-
by an armistice to withdraw from a
difficult military situation. The con-
dition of the battle along our front
demonstrates the great value Of these
terms.
Rarian white nag bearers would wish
to confer upon the subject with their
chiefs, Il II supposed that the re-
cponse may not be Immediate"

HUNSARE TOPAY
DEARLY FOR SINS
Demand for Reparation as
Pronounced Here as
in Europe.

It would be difficult to say whether
international or internal politics kept
folks in Washington feverish during
the past week. Certainly the National
Capital has been seething with politi-
cal discussion, so much so that for the
moment much of the tension was re-
moved which originally developed
when the possibility was broached of
an early end of the war.
In a few days the congressional
campaign will happily be over and
something like a normal perspective
on the European situation will be pos
sible, for, no matter whether there
has been any partisan politics in the
expressed dissent to peace negotia-
tions, there will be no motive for such
thing after the verdict at the polls
has been accepted by both sides.
Interesting Events Ahead.
Whatever the outcome on Tuesday,
some interesting, if not the most in
teresting. developments thus far in
the European war may be expected
There is no denying that much dis
appointment prevailed when lSa the the Pres resi-
man peace offer. Some of this has
been removed by the news from Aus
tria and Turkey and internal Ger
many. More and more is the convic-
ton being developed that Germany
has made up her mind to quit and
thus prevent bitter end struggle:
OF course. it is fully realized that
the German military power has not
yet been completely broken or that
the capacity of the German govern
ment for mischief has been entirely
exhausted. On the other hand, there
is no longer much of a feeling of
shakiness or nervousness over the
kind Of military and naval safeguards
which are to be proposed by the
United States and her allies to pre-
vent any resumption of hostilities
when once the terms of peace or a
basis therefor have been agreed upon.
There are many surprises in store.

arguing that Germany is going to

collapse OF the nation behind the
army means that in no long time the

Germany will surrender. The sur

judgment. Instead of haggling over
the terms of the armistice, Germany
will abandon the fight in the field and
turn all her energies to the fight

1t will be different around the green

won the war, but we may yet lose the

Wounded by Shell Fire.

The greater portion of the wounds
received by the Americans yesterday
were the result of shell fire. One
American lay wounded on the field
Tor two hours. While he was walt
ing a big German shell fell near him.
AS the seconds passed he thought each
one was his last. He was lucky, for
the shell proved to be 'dud.''
The correspondent was told un-
officially today that the American ar
tillery fire yesterday perhaps was
lighter than it should have been. but
this was due to the fear that the
barrage would cause casualties among
the civilians. The allies are doing all
possible to spare the lives of the in
habitants. With this end in view, the
British have stopped the use of gas.
The appearance of American troops
in this fighting must be the source of

Field Marshal Haig reports that
VaIenciennes was taken by Canadian
troops under Gen. Currte. who have
passed through the town.

tack in Flanders was rewarded by an
advance of more than five miles on

allies to the Scheldt from Berchem to

This advance probably will enable the
Belgians to push the enemy over the

South Of valenciennes the attack
resulted in an advance Of two miles

ture of Aulncy and Preseau. thus
reaching the southern edge of VAL

The French and Americans on the
southern part of the battle line, att

ish on both sides Of the city;
The main attack at Valenciennes
was south of the city. just above
Famare. The Canadians, who en-.
gineered the drive, were supported by
one of the heaviest artillery lombard
ments of the war. The gunfire was
terrific, and this made the going easy
for the overseas infantry which fol.
lowed.
The idea Of the Canadians in using
this great barrage was to crush the
resistance as quickly as possible, sc
as to save allied lives. The lombard.
ment had the desired effect, for the
opposition offered by the enemy was
not strong, and the Canadians pushed
ra apidIy through to their objectives
which gave them the whole Of the
ciennes.

BY FRANK H. sIMONDs.

Whatever the diplomatic language
of the allied ultimatum addressed to
Germany, in response to her request
for an armistice, three words cover
its import: Surrender or die" This
is the choice that now presents itself
to the German empire, since at the
present moment that German empire
is bounded on the east by Russian
holshevism, on the south by Austrian
anarchy, on the west by Foch's VIC
torious armies and on the north by
the British blockade.
We may still believe that. when, IN
late September, Ludendorn advised
the pursuit of an armlstice his pur-
pose was the old familiar purpose OF
all past German maneuvers. We may
believe that he sought to involve the
United States in a dispute with her
European allies over peace terms and
rally the German people behind the
autocracy by presenting to them the
necessarily drastic demands OF the
enemy. The home front was to be
fortified, the enemy front broken by
the maneuver.
Unfortunately for Ludendorff. events
moved too fast. He had not calculated
upon a Bulgarian surrender, Turk
ish collapse, an Austrian debacle. All
of a sudden all of Germany's allies
disappeared, the whole face of things
changed; the maneuver. made with
out sincerity or without intent to
make peace, became life and death
pursuit of peace to escape Internal
change was the fall of Ludendorh
himself.
Germany Can't Hide Facts.
Today Germany faces a situation
which can be concealed neither from
her people nor from her enemies. To
continue in the war is to risk inva-
sion on the very remote chance of
modifying allied demands. There is
chance Of anything resembling even
a draw. There is, at best, only the
hope Of postponing the decision for a
few brief weeks or months, with the
moral certainty that as result of the
new burdens thereby placed upon a
follow ultimate surrender. if it does
not overtake it as in the case of
Russia and of Austria.
In very real sense the delibera-
tions now going on at Versailles are
beside the point SO far as Germany
is concerned. however severe the
terms there agreed upon, Germany
must and will accept them. No con-
sideration of a possible prolongation
of German resistance. need worry the
men who are writing, have probably
already written, the armistice terms.
What the allies have to decide at
Versailles is merely what they deem
wise to take as guarantees of an uIti-
mate settlement.
Germany's peril today does not come
primarily from Foch. Her army is
fighting well and might hold up the
