Austria, Hungary's Capitu- lation Leaves Territory Open For Invasion
 Of Germany.
USE THEIR OWN
 MUNITIONS NOW
Execution of Armistice Guaranteed By Good Beating Already Given
 By Italians.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Austria- Hun gary, the last and most powerful all iy of Germany, passed out of the world war today under terms of ab- fct surrender.
 Not only have the armed forces of the once powerful Austro -Hungar- ian empire laid down their arms, to await the end of the war and peace terms dictated by the allied and the United States but Austro-H Hungary ter ritory is open for operations against Germany. Even the munitions of the former ally are to be used against the Kaiser's army if refusal to ac- cept conditions now being prepartd for them make prolonged fighting necessary.
 Iheterms which stopped the victor-, ichs advance on the Italian front were accepted b ythe Austrian cam mander in chief in the field in the name of the Vienna government, and their execution is guaranteed by the thorough beating already administer ed which had converted the defeated army into disorganize, fleeing horde.
 Even the terms imposed previously upon Bulgaria and Turkey hardly were so drastic. In addition to all of the military precautions, the Aus trans are compelled to retire from wide strip of territory within the borders of their empire when the war began, surrendering all of Italian IT, rdentia and thereby losing any ad- vantage for argument over boundar- es around peace table.
 A map of survey of the geographi- cal lines fixed for Austrian evacua- eetion shows that the area is even greater than that set by the Italians the goal of their ambition when !ney entered the war! At that time Italian leaders carefully outlined ana indicated on their war maps the Nrltory along their borders which Mey deemed it necessary that they acqulre for racial and sentimental !easons and also to insure the secur- Hyof their frontiers.
 m decreeing Austria's surrender wlms, the supreme war council at ,ersallles has followed this outline uosely put have enlarged upon it to cme extent. The right of occupation nese vacated provinces is stipulat- M out It is to be noted that for the .ae oelng civil government is to be sumnltsered by the existing local civ aau.norltles in cooperation with the Wsupymg garrisons.
 inls means that the whole uues- ~ or tlnal dipsostion of the terri I.y involved is left to be settled at Me peace table.
