IT'S REAL NICE
TO LOOK AT 1T
JUST THAT WAY

Vienna. Nov 1 (via London).-
Austrian troops fighting on Italian soil
Will be withdrawn, according to an Of
nclal statement issued by the war Of
nee tonight. The statement says:
Iaking into account the resolve so
often expressed to bring about a con-
ciusion of an armistice and peace, put
tlng an end to the struggle, OF ma
uons. our troops fighting on Italian
SOIL Will evacuate occupied regions"
AS regards the front of more than
sixty miles from the Adriatic to the
mountain II ont west of the Piave river.
IL would appear that this statement
seeks to make a virtue of a necessity
SO FAR as the withdrawal of Austrian
forces is concerned.

Paris Papers See Important Re-
suits in Offing.
Army of Orient Soon Will Be
on the Danube.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The capitulation of
Turkey, altho anticipated, has made.
nevertheless, profound impression in
France. Newspapers declare it to be
an event of supreme importance.
"The convention is of purely mill
tary character" says the Matin land
in no way affects the peace which will
eventually be signed with the Turkish
empire.
''What is interesting. however, is the
immediate consequences of the arnni-
stice. First of all the greater part sof
the British armies in Syria, Palestine
and Mesopotamia will be released
The army Of the Orient. which will
soon be the army of the Save and the
Danube, will be perhaps, called u4on

be desirable at an early date.
when the Dardanelles are opened
the allied fleet will restore direct COM
munication with Rumania as it is
hardly probable that the Goeben. the
Breslau and the Russian fleet sold to
Germany by the Bolshevikf will offer
resistance.
THE allies will then hold the Medi-
'terranean outlets of Ukrainia and
greater Russia"
Not So Hard on Them.
Amsterdam, Nov. 1.-Izzet Pasha,
the Turkish grand vizier, is quoted by
the Constantinople newspaper. Tasviri
Efkiar, when the armistice negotia-
tfons were in progress saying:
The conditions of the armistice will
be lighter than the demands imposed
on Bulgaria. as no military occupation
of Constantinople or other Turkish
territory has been demanded."

ISOLATE THE HUNS
Cut Germany Of From All of
the World.
Outstanding Feature of the
"Vict0ry Drama"

London. Nov. 1.-The complete
isolation of Germany as result of the
desertion and surrender of her allies is
commented upon here as the outstand-
ing feature of the latest developments
in the colossal drama of victory"
The effect of this isolation on her
armies. coupled with the desperate in
ternal conditions in Germany is re-
garded almost everywhere as bringing
the end of the war very near, altho In
some quarters warning is raised that
the Germany army and navy still are in
existence, and, in the hands of des-
perate men, are formidable and
dangerous.
The general tenor of comment, how
ever. indicates a belief that Germany
must sooner or later accept virtually
any terms the allies impose. There is
considerable speculation as to the ex-
tent Germany will be able to oppose
the carrying out of the terms Turkey
has accepted. 1t is unknown whether
German garrisons still hold the
Dardanelles forts and other defenses
of Constantinople, while resistance by
the GermaniZed Russian Black sea
fleet is regarded as a serious pos
sibility.
7 Even If the forts are evacuated, pas
sage of the straits may not. it is sug
gested, be without danger, as it is as
sumed they are still mined and must.
in any event be swept before ships can
pass thru. The Express, however.
learns that the location of all mines is
known to the Turks and that paper be-
lieves when they undertook to open
the straits the Turks also agreed to
help the British to clear the mine
fields. The immense possibilities fol-
lowing the Turkish collapse are dis
cussed by all the newspapers among
the hopeful auguries being the rescue
of Runaania and the end of Bolshevik
tyranny in Russia.

WOULD ANNEX AUSTRIA
Possibility OF Territorial Expansion

Possibility OF Territorial Expansion
Looms on the Horizon.
New York, Nov. 1.-The annexation
of Austria to the German empire be-
cause of its Teutonic racial predomi-
nance. is beginning to appear possi-
bility to the statesmen of Berlin.
The break up of the Austro-H Hun
garian monarchy may thus become the
most important feature at the peace
conference thru encouraging the Ger
mans to intrigue for territorial expan-
sion. The subtle hand of German
statecraft is already apparent in the
creation of an independent republic by
the German element r3.tlgled with the
CZecho-Slovak population of Bohemia.
