! Washington, .NoY. 4.-One feature o.
the Austrian surrender conditions

duplicated in the German terms is the
entrusting to Marshal Foch of carry
ing out programs OF rehabilitation
and disarmament.
Attention is already being given here
10 the next phase after Germany ceases

of the fact that the armistices are only
stepping stones to permanent settle
ment CT all issues of the war. Politi-
cal questions, boundaries, even COM

Both in the United States and in the
allied countries. it is said the necessity
is recognized OF sitting in motion the
wheels CT peace-time industry at the
earliest possible moment, in order to
afford employment and support to the
millions of discharged soldiers. This
is expected to hasten the peace con-
ference, once the Germans surrender.
The entente allies and Americans
expect to so into conference with Ger
