Washington, Nov. 5.-AuStria-Hun-
gary, the last and most powerful ally
of Germany, passed out of the War
yesterday under terms Of the most
complete surrender.
Not only have the armed forces of
the once powerful Austro-Hungarian
empire laid down their arms to await
peace terms dictated by the allies and
the United States but AuStro-Hun-
.garian territory is open for operations
against Germany. Even the munitions
of the former ally are to be used
against the kaiser'S armies.
The terms which stopped the vic
torious Italian advance were accepted
by the Austro-Hungalian commander
in chief in the name of the Vienna
government. Even the terms imposed
upon Bulgaria and Turkey were hardly
so drastic. In addition to all other
military precautions, the Austrians are
compelled to retire from a wide strip
of territory within their own borders
and to surrender all of Italia Irreden-
tia, thereby losing all the advantage
of a possible parley ever boundaries
around a peace table. The geographic
cal survey of territory evacuated by
the Austrians shows it to be ever
greater than that demanded by Italy.
Navy Surrendered or Disarmed.
Acknowledgements navy which either
must be delivered to the allies or dis
armed under the terms of the armiS-
tice, consists OF Approximately Pa
ships according to latest official in

!. had been captured by the victorious

Yet now he claims that if the people
OF sorth Carolina will only elect him
TO the senate he will go to President
Wilson and tell him that whatever
is necessary to win the war he is with
him % the finish.
Mr.. Blease has discovered that
South Carolinisns are not the unpa-
