Washington, Nov. 6.-Offi-
cial attention here tonight is
conferred on the western front,
where a German armistice dele
cation is reported expected by
Marshal Foch.
There was no confirmation of
the report this afternoon at the
state department, but officials
said that the news of the de-
parture of the delegation from
Berlin probably was correct. In
this event, it may arrive some
time tonight or tomorrow morn
ing.
The procedure to be followed
will be the presentation of the
armistice terms to this delega-
ton, and then its indication as
to whether or not they are &C
ceptable to Germany. State de-
partment officials do not believe
the delegation is vested with
full authority to either accept
or reject the terms, but it was
suggested that it, no doubt, will
be in full communication with
the home government while the
session is on.
Expect Capitulation.
| Meantime, from the military
standpoint there is every rea-
son to believe that Germany
will capitulate. The allied arm
les and those of the United
States are advancing like wild
