GERMANY FIGHTS ALONE.
Austria Hungary is Out of the War
Germany is Deserted by Her Last
Ally-Only Defeat or Abject Sur
render Remains for Germany.

The Associated Press gave this
morning the following summary of
tbe war news:
Austria-Hungary is out Of the war.
Deserted by her last ally, Germany
fights alone a battle which means
ultimate defeat or abject surrender.
After days of pleading, an armis-
tice has been granted Austria-Hun-
gary, whose badly defeated armies in
the Italian theatre are staggering
homeward under the violence of the
blows of the entente troops.
Trent. in the Austrian Tyrol, which
the Italians always have claimed as
their own, has been captured by them;
Triest,, Austria's municipal seaport
on the Adriatic over which there has
been such bitter fighting, now flies
the Italian flag; and Belgrade, capi-
tai of Serbia, has been re-occupied by
the Serbians.
In France and Belgium the Germans
are being sorely harassed by the
British, French, Americans and Bel
gians and there are Indications that
a debacle is about to occur.
The Argonne massif, which has
proved a great obstacle to the ad-
vance of the French and Americans,
at last has been cleared of the enemy
and the entire line appears to be
crumbling. American airmen report
that the enemy in front of the Ameri-
cans are retreating northward, that
the roads are densely packed with
troops artillery ande transport.
Likewise southeast of Valenciennes
the Germans are retreating before the
British. who are in close pursuit and
taking numerous prisoners. North OF
the Aisne in Champagne the French
continue their pressure and have tax
en- several important villages, large
numbers of prisoners and great guam
titles of war stores.
The advance of the Americans anc
French. on the southern part OF the
battle front, taken in conjunction witt
the operations of Field Marshal Hais
and the Belgians in the north, threat
ems to prove the eliminating blow t
Germany's attempts to hold ground Il
France or Belgium. Indeed, it is no
improbable if the advance from thu
south continues as rapid as it IS, tn
greater part of the German army vii
be trapped before the men can reacl
their border. The situation of tn
Germans seemingly is a critical one.
Although the Austro- Hungarian
have been given an armistice, they ar
still being bitterly attacked by. tn

and Czecho-Slovak troops In tn
