lSHINGTON PLATED | AUSTRIAN TERMS
hbliCanS and Democrats Agree Basis Is Satisfactory


 marked the reception of the rian arnistice terms at the Cap1- oday among the few members of ress who did not go home to vote. Amocrats interpreted the terms as mplete Vindication of President on's recent notes, while the re- cans insisted that the lions share he credit belonged to the armies he field for bringing the Dual Rrchy to it's knees.
 ediction was made on all sides the terms of the German arm
 would be no less stringent, and
 were of the opinion they would hade much more drastic in view rermany's larger share in the es of the Central Powers against zation.
 Ire are some of the views of DSrs on the armlstice terms. 9lator Thomas, democrat, of Colo l-''The terms of the Austrian ar cs are the full equivalent of un- Z itional surrender. They are the interpretation, as they are the j step in the application, of the dents basis for an enduring e.

 nator Borah, republican, of complete as a military victory dictate. Tn others words, it absolute surrender to the dictates he Allies and the United States c entire Austro Hungarian forces. he Romanoffs are gone. The < sburgs are soon to go. And the enzollerns are practically waiting orders Bless God for that" tlator Poindexter. Republican, of Ellington :--'These terms are suffi- ]. When acted upon Austria will nder the control of the Allies. conditions of peace can then, in time and after full consideration, lctated by the great enlightened, ty loving nations composing the ace against the Central Powers 5ut compromise with the Austro- garian government.
 is evident from the news from ailles that the example in Bull !, Turkey and Austria is being wed there, and that General the immortal com1nander-in- of the allied forces, is formulat- fhe terms upon which an a.rrnis- will be granted to Germany. The acter and achievements of Gen Foch guarantee that there will @ compromise, and that the life h and substance of the nations Jh have been poured out in sup of this war for victory and free # will not have been poured out in
 but that complete, uncondition- b1ugation will be imposed on the han army and navy.
 t furthermore appears, at least it be hoped, that the presentation be at grand headquarters of the d forces in the field.
 bur soldiers and sailors who have h-ibuted to this result have added fame to the American arms. snatcr Smith, Democrat. of Geor Tt Is difficult to suggest how terrns could be more complete or b, satisfactory.

 VTthin thirty days the Allies can py large parts of Eastern Ger V, attacking both by land and r. Germany cannot spare the @ from the western front to resist army of invasion on the eastern f. and the eastern front of Ger lacks the defensive preparation h exists on the western front re is nothing left for Germany Ato accept the terms fixed by the es.
 hare no doubt that any armi @ granted to Germany will place control of Germany as thoroughly e hands of the Allies as the terms h to Austria placed Austria in
 control.
 The victory shortly will be com Prussian militarism has ceased

 nator Ashurst, Democrat, of Art- :--"The terms of the arnnistice V osed upon Austria show how full President Wilson's diplomacy been.
