WASHINGTON. Nov 5.-Mar-
 shal Foch has the terms of armis-
 tice for Germany and awaits ap-
 plication for them by the German
 military command in the field.
 The government at Berlin is so
 informed in a note which Secre-
 tary Lansing handed to Minister
 SulZer of Switzerland tonight,
 announcing that the allies have
 declared their willingness to make
 peace on the cables In "A hours
 it should be in the hands of the
 Germans; in As hours the world
 may know whether an immediate
 end of the war is at hand.
 Publication of details of the armis- tice terms still is withheld. They may not be made known until the Germans have accepted or rejected them as was the course followed by the allies in dealing with Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria. Only the details are in doubt, however, and no one questions that acceptance means abject surrender.
 The statement has been authorized that the drastic conditions under which Austria passed out of the war have been followed closely, and in answer to queries for further informa- tion officials said tonight the state ment of Premier Clemenceau, cabled from Paris by the Associated Press, told the story.
 "The terms" said NJ. Clemenceau, "are what President Wilson himself recommended us for the security Of our troops, the maintenance of our su- periority and the disarmament of the enemy insofar as that is necessary to prevent a resumption of hostiliues.
 Secretary Lansings note gives the first hint of what has been going on at the momentous conference at Paris between Colonel House and the allied premiers.
 It quotes a memorandum of obser- vations" by the allied governments on the presidents correspondence with the German authorities disclosing the approval of the presidents peace pro gram, with reservation of freedom or action in the peace conference on the moot question of freedom of the seas and a specific statement that by re- storation is meant that Germany must make compensation for all damage done to civilian population and their property "by land, by sea and from the air"
 This last in which President Wilson concurs, means German payment for towns and cities destroyed and coun- try side devastated, Tor ships sunk by submarines and raiders.
 It means German payment of dam- ages to the families and dependents of civilians killed or carried off in violation of the rules of war.
 Thus much of the real work of a peace conference has been done m advance. The spokesmen of Germany have accepted the presidents terms; now they must accept the allied quail fications if they want to stop the ad- vance of the allied and American armies. The guarantee that final peace conditions will be dictated under in- depreciation of principles by the vic tors without undue argument by the vanquished is provided in the armis- tice terms.
 In placing the matter of>an armis- tice in Marshall Fochs hands and at the same time informing the Germans through President Wilson. the Associ- ated nations have strictly observed the diplomatic amenities while main taining the purpose to make the armistice a purely military measure which should afford no possibility of a misunderstanding of the fact that it is offered to a defeated army.
 All along there has been a belief
