TERMS ARE
BELIEVED TO Be IN
HANDS Of GEN. FOCH

Washington, Nov. diplomats and officials here believe the
terms of armistice for Germany signed for the United States and the
Allies at Paris yesterday are in the hands of General Foch for pre-
sentahon to the German commanders on the western front.
There has been no official explanation of the method determin-
ed upon of acquainting the Germans with the surrender conditions
under which they may end the war. Until today it had been as
sumed that the terms would be sent to Berlin through diplomatic
channels because the appeal for an armistice came that way, but the
almost unanimous opinion in well informed quarters now is that the
matter will be handled entirely on the field by the Allied supreme
commander. . -"
Whatever may be the channel of communication, it is evident
that no time has been lost and that an immediate reply is regarded
as a possibility. President Wilson, having cancelled plans for cast
ing his vote at Princeton, N. ], remained at the White House
throughout the day. ~
~ The text of the arraistice terms had not been received when ar
engagements were made for the usual cabinet meeting: The. presi-
dent and his advisers were fully informed as to every important de-
tail however, before the document was signed. 80 80.

APPEAL TO THE
GERMAN PEOPLE
Reported in Danger

Up in Disorder.

Amsterdam. Nov. 4.-Monday-
The state council at Vienna has is
suedlan appeal to the German people
of Austria; in which it is declared the
country is in danger and the army
breaking up in disorder. The, appeal
exhorts the soldiers voluntarily to
join the German Austrian corps.
The appeal points, out that Ger
mans from non-German districts are
going home, while German soldiers,
obviously tired Of the long duration
Of the war; are leaving their units
without considering that the irregu-
lar rehabilitation "brings the dan
ger of widespread unemployment,
hunger and misery"
The prison camps are being aban-
doned by their guards, the council
adds, and Italians, Russians and Ser
bians are leaving the camps and
flooding the country. ~
This danger" the appeal declares,
must be countered If fresh blood
shed is not to threaten our severely
tried people and tens of thousands Of
men. women and children perish
