ALLIES START TO
CARRY OUT TERMS
OF AUSTRO TRUCE

Italian Headquarters in Venetia,
Nov. '6.-(By the Associated Press .
The Hungarian port of Fiume,
southeast of Triest, has been taken
over by the Italians and Admiral
Cagni has been named governor
The occupation of Ffume was
similar to the Italian entrance into
Triest. A citizens committee sign
ed a declaration OF rights, declared
themselves free from Hungary and
expressed a desire to be united with
Italy and delegates were sent to
cenfer with Admiral Marzolla.
A detachment OF Italian troops
has been sent TO hold Fiume and to
round up the thousands of Aus
trian deserters and soldiers of va
rious natiOnalities who menace the
city and the neigh boring country.
(By the Associated Press).
Entente troops have crossed the
Austro-Hungarian lines at several
points TO take the places of the
troops of the dual monarchy so that
the latter can be transported to
their homes in groups. This is the
first actual step toward carrying
out the terms of the armistice be
tween the allies and Austria

RRllTIF2E GERMAN NAVY SEIZED BY REBEL
Choosing of Place
for Peace Meeting
Is Topic of Paris

Paris, Nov. diplomats here
are interested in the choice of To-
cation for the peace negotiations.
Some of them think the Carnegie
Peace Palace at The Hague should
be chosen for sentimental reasons.
News that a German white flag
party had left for the front made d
deep impression in France, where
the prompt action of the German
government took the public by sur
prise. The last lingering doubts as
to Germany's sincerity in asking
for the allied terms for an armis-
tice, still held in certain quarters,
seem to be removed.
On the contrary, the impression
now held is that Germany is really
worse off than generally believed.
In the meantime the allied troops
are giving the enfeebled army no
rest. Deserted by their last ally
the weather-the rain fell in sheets
yesterday-the retreat of the Ger
mans verges perilously near rout
British forces are within a few
miles of Maubeuge, the fall OF
which is imminent. The French
first army is conVerging on Hirson.
The enemy is falling back on the
Meuse before the French fourth
and fifth armies, which are driving
in his rear guard and capturing
many machine guns The German
white flag party may hear of the
fall of the German emperor's for
mer headquarters al CharleVIlle
and Mezieres before they reach
Marshal Foch. Near the Meuse, the
American army working in close
touch with General Gouraud's
forces, are demolishing bit by bit
the powerful pillar of the German
defense on the western front The
destruction of this main bastion
would involve the whole enemy re-
treat in disaster There is now no
resting place for the German hosts
this side of the Rhine. Indeed it is
rot to much TO say that the Ger
mans are doomed to defeat without
hope OF recovery.
News of the capitulation Of the
Hungarian army was re-
ceived here with quiet satisfaction
The Figaro says:
Our most formidable enemy,
Germany, is now exposed to such
heavy and ott-repeated blows that
her resistance cannot last long.
Germany will soon capitulate.'
The Echo De Paris says:
In Austria, as in the case OF
Turkey. it is not merely the troops
surrendering, it is the internal or

Congress Control
Still i'm Doubt on
Close Senate Race

Washington, Nov. Control of
the United States senate remained
in doubt early today on the face of
returns from three states where
contests between the Democratic
and Republican candidates contin-
ued close, as the count progressed.
The Republicans further increased
their majority in the house of rep
rcsentatives when two of the three
seats from South Dakota were con
Ceded TO them. Three seats, one
ZACH in South Dakota, New Mexico
and Montana are yet in doubt.
The standing of the two parties
il the next house, without the three
missing districts is: Republicans,
236, and Democrats, 1875, Repubn-
can majority of Al In the senate
without the three doubtful seats
there are AZ Republicans and 46
Democrats.
OF the senate races yet to be de-
Cided, Truman II. Newberry, Re
publican, appeared to be maintain
ing his lead over Henry Ford, the
Democratic candidate in Michigan.
With 222 precincts TO hear from
Newberry was leading his opponent
by ,993 votes. The Michigan state
Republican committee claimed
Newberry's election, declaring that
the remaining districts are normal
ly Republican. Supporters of Sen
alor Fall of New Mexico still claim
his election on the basis of scat
tering returns AS these reports
come from unofficial sources the
contest continued TO be placed in
the doubtful class.
In Idaho Frank H. Gooding was
making deep inroad5 into the ma
jority credited to Senator John F.

Nugent's lead was only 446 with

which developed yesterday was for
shadowed when they charged that

few DAYS To
WIND UP WAR
LONDON VIEW
Britain Sees the German
Prepared to Bow to Any
Terms of Allies.

London, Nov. 6.-Reports that
German delegates have arrived at
Marshal Foch's headquarters are
considered here as an assurance
that fighting will be over in a few
days. The last days of the war
have been so crowded with enOr-
nous events that there is no ca
pacity left for surprises or sensa-
tons. The terms of President Vii
sons note TO Germany dealing with
the freedom Of the seas and COM
pensation to the allies. are eudOrs-
ed by all newspapers here. II is
believed that Germany knew from
the terms OF the austrian armi-
stice the sort of peace she had 10
expect and that her military and
political situations give her no ar
Tentative but to bow.
Army Hard Pressed
News comes from the front that

no great reserves of ammunition.

A few iunker newspapers are stiil
crying for war TO the las. ditch
but the Socialists seem TO have
turned the scales decisiyely in the
other direction.
From a British viewpoint the
greatest humiliation Germany will
suffer will be in having her fleet

JUDGE ISSUES RULES
Alleged Attempt to Bribe Jury
Will Be One Basis
of Plea


Formal application for a new trial
aud stay of judgment in behalf of
isaac Deutsch Lieutenant Bennett and
the five patrolmen convicted with them
in the Fifth Ward cohspiracy cases was
filed with the Chester County Court to-
day by J. Paul A1cElree, of counsel for
the defendants.
Judge Hause granted four rules. two
on each OF the bills of indictment on
which the defendants were convicted
These bills charged conspiracy to violate
the Shern law and conspiracy to prevent
a free election. One rule, which applies
to both bills, is to show cause why a
new trial should not be granted. An
other rule, which also applies I, both
bills. Is to show cause why there should
not be an arrest of judgment.
Judge liause gave counsel FOR the
commonwealth until October 1. to show
cause on both rules. This date is only
temporary and subject to change. Dis
trict Attorney Rotan, and W. A. Gray,
chief counsel for the defendants. have
not agreed yet as TO a date on which
the motion for a new trial is to be
argued. They will not csnfe.' until Nj.
Gray returns from a vacation.
IL they fall to fix date the Court will
set the time. The alleged attempt to
bribe William =. Weaver. one Of the
Jurors in the Fifth Ward cases, will
form the principal basis for the applica.
tion for new trial.
An interesting sidelight on the trial
developed today. Deutsch and the other
defendants slept Wednesday night in
