WASHINGTON, Nov 3.-Armistice terms which the Austrians have accept ed are expected here to furnish a clear index to those which the supreme war council at Versailles is preparing for Germany. Consequently their publica- tion will carry greater significance than otherwise would attach, since the Aus trian surrender had been discounted in advance by the internal disintegration Of the dual monarchy, and the collapse of the Austro- Hungarian forces on the Italian front
 Official announcement that the ar mistice had been completed reached the state department today. In making this known, officials gave no indication of the terms imposed, nor was there any explanation of why cessation of hostili- ties had beon delayed A hours or more after the actual signing of the articles of surrender. The generally accepted view however, seemed to be that it was desired to have virtually all Italian soil freed of enemy troops, before the Italian armies were committed to end | their attacks upon the routed Austrian forces.
 Austria Rendered lmpotent Military men here said the terms which the supreme war council had pre- pared would make it impossible for the Austrians to renew hostilities, probably including the disarming of the enemy troops and occupation of strategic points as well. Some of these, namely Trent, and Triest, already have been occupied by the Italian and allied forces.
 Free movement of the allied forces through Austria to' attack Germany from the south, should the supreme war I 1A sary in the future, also is expected to be stipulated Unofficial reports from l Vienna today said the Germans were | preparing for such an attack by fever ishly digging themselves in and forti- flying the Bayarian frontier.
 The defection of Austria leaves Ger many stripped of it's last ally, and most of the military men here, both allied and American, believe that her capitu- lation will follow soon after the terms from Versailles are submitted
 Wilson Constantly Advised.
 Exchanges of views between Colonel B. M. House, special representative of the American government in France, and the allied premiers, continued to- day at Colonel Houses home in Paris, and apparently the general terms for Germany are not yet ready for submis- sion to the allied military leaders for consideration, with their regard to the military necessities. Colonel House is keeping President Wilson constantly advised as to the progress of events.
 Great importance is attached here to the course followed by the allied and American governments, in deferring peace settlements with Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria. until Germany also shall surrender or be crushed This policy is counted upon to prevent any eleventh hour attempt on the part of the Germans to SOW seeds of discord among the allies.
 In view of the general situation, the smashing Franco American victories north and west of Verdun, are regarded as significant. Unless an armistice in- terrupts, it is believed the thrust will be pressed home relentlessly, to cut the German front in the west in hal1 before there is another halt
