Salt Lake Tribune: The terms inn
posed upon Austria when she laid
down her arms Monday are nothing
short of complete surrender. and
there is nothing left for Germany
to do but to follow example of her
principal ally and grasp at anything
that is offered. Altogether, the out
look for an early peace is very good.
Hostilities have ceased on the 1tal-
ian front and the people of Italy are
all celebrating their great victory
and the restoration of territory
wrested from them by the Austrians
half a century or more ago. But
desperate fighting continues on the
western front, and the American
forces are playing a brilliant part in
the campaign on the Meuse, in which
the French are also taking part. The
German army in this sector is being
thoroughly beaten and faces disaster.
The British and Belgians continue
their good work in the north and
Client is said to have been captured.
In view of the great success of the
drive. Foch may be able to force a
military decision, regardless Of ar
mistice terms.
At last accounts the kaiser was at
headquarters in the field. probably
the safest place for him. The socia-
lists and others at Berlin are clamor-
ing for his abdication, but it does not
appear likely that he will take any
such step unless he is forced to it by
the Allies. The issue will doubtless
be raised when the terms of the allied
war council at Versailles are made
known. Emperor Charles Of Aus
Ella -Hungary has given notice of his
intention to abdicate and will take
up his residence in Switzerland,
where he will be able to condole with
former King Constantine of Greece
and the ex-rulers of Bulgaria. Ferdi-
nand and Boris. who will undoubted-
ly seek final refuge in the little re-
public. There is every reason to be-
lieve that Wilhelm II will join this
particular down-and-out club in the
near future, unless he meets the fate
of count Tisza, the former Hungar-
ian premier, who had so much to do
with bringing on the present war.
While the situation as to Germany
and the kaiser is still 'up in the air."
a number of interesting events are
taking place. Constantinople is said
to have been occupied by allied
troops, in accordance with the terms
of surrender. and arrangements are
being rapidly perfected for the pro-
lection of the Christian races every
where in the Turkish empire. Doubt
less allied warships have already
passed through the Dardanelles and
ri now operating in the Black sea-.
The Serbians r again in possession
of their own country, after having
made a glorious record in the war.
There will be no more fighting in the
Balkan country, and all the little
states are awaiting the re.arrange-
ments of the map of Europe. The
people of Hungary, including the
women, will take a vote a month
hence to decide the question of a
monarchy or a republic, the country
having severed relations with Austria
under the leadership of Count
Karolyi. Russia. which agreed to
pay Germany a big indemnity and
actually paid two heavy instruments,
will refuse to make any further con-
tributions, now that allied sue
cess is assured. The immediate fu-
ture of Russia is uncertain, but it is
probable that allied troops will help
overthrow the Lenine- Trotzky regime
