Basel-Austro-Hungary in notifying
President Wilson that 1t Is ready ia
enter upon peace negotiations and ar
range an armistice, asks President

rectly with the Austro-Hungarian Coy
ernment on the question OF an armis
tice and OF peace. the Austro.HLn
garian Government has the homo. &
declare that, equally with the preced
ing proclamatlons of the President, il
adheres also to the same point OF viev
contained in the last note upon tn
rights OF the tro.Hungarian peo
pies, especially those OF the Czecho
Slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs.
Consequently, Austria-Hungary, ac
cepting all the conditions the Presl
dent has laid down for the entry into
negotiations FOR an armistice anj
peace, no obstacle exists, according e
the judgment of the Austro-Hungarlan
Government, to the beginning OF these
negotiations.
Ready For Separate Peace.
The Austro-Hungarim Government
declares itself ready, in consequence,
without awaiting the result Of Other
negotiations, to enter into negotiations
upon peace between Austria Hungary
and the states in the opposing group
and for an immediate armistlce upon
all Austro-Hungarlan fronts.
II asks President Wilson to be so
kind as to begin overtures on this sub
ject.
The Austrian note is dated October
2S, at Vienna, and Is signed BY Count
julius Andrassy, the new Foreign Min.
lster.

tober 10. President Wilson said that
events of utmost importance had al.
tered the attitude and responsibility
Of the United States since his speech
Of January 3. to the IA points which
were accepted by Austria. The Pres.
dent added that in the interim the
United States had recognized the
CZecho-Slovaks as a bellgerent and
had recognized the aspirations OF the
Iugo-Slavs for freedom. He continued:
"The President is therefore no long.
'r at liberty to accept the mere 'au.
onomy' of these peoples as a basis of
,eace, but is obliged to insist that
hey and not he shall be the judges
VI what action on the part of the Aus.

ion of their rights ami destiny as
members Of the family Of nations"
In the last few days 1t hah been re.

ARM|ST|CE TERMS
AGREED upon
Will Render Germany Helpless
To Resume the War.
GUARANTEES TO BE EXACTED
Terms Include Evacuation OF All Oc.
cupied Territory - Surrender OF
Rhine Fortresses, Loss OF
All Ordnance.

Nashington.-It is the fixed deter.
minatlon OF the Allied military com.
nianders TO render Germany utterly
powerless from a military standpoint,
If she accepts the terms OF the armis.
tice to be laid down in answer TO the
latest German note and soon 10 be an.
nounced not only to the Government
in Berlin but to the world at large.
1t should be remembered in this con.
nection that Germanys enemies have
laid down two general conditions upon
which peace might be had The first
is, the destruction of the German mill.
tary power and her surrender of all
conquered territory. The second Is
that Germany must make reparation
to Belgium and France for the wanton
destruction of hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of property in each.
The first proposition was compare.
lively easy to work out Marshal Foch
and his superstaff of field officers know
exactly what needs to be done to dis.
arm Germany, but the laying of lien
upon her without actually seizing and
garrisonlng great areas of her terri.
tory is as much problem OF states.
manship as of disarmament. But that
problem seems to have been met. Here
are the leading terms OF the armistice,
as they stand at this moment:
l. Germany Is to withdraw her ar.
mics from occupied territory in France,
Belgium, Russia and Roumania and
must do II within time to be specified
by Marshal Foch.
2. Not only must her armies in
France and Belgium retire to their own
frontier, but they must drop back of
the river Rhine at all points, leaving
the whole of the area between her
frontier and the Rhine unprotected, If
not actually in the hands of the Al.
lied armies.
3. The whole chain o. German for.
tresses facing the line Of France. and
including Metz and Strassburg, are to
be occupied and garrisoned by Allied
armies.
4. Germany Is to release every Allied
soldier held prisoner OF war, but the
Allies are not to release any Germans
held prisoner until the work of recon.
struction in Belgium and Northern
France is completed.
s. Germany is to surrender all sub.
marines in the Mediterranean and is
to surrender one OF every type of U.
boat now in her service.
6, The German armies are to be dis.
armed through the loss of all their
ordnance, light and heavy, but 1t is not
clear yet whether this will include the
side arms of the enemy troops.
7. The German armies must be de.
mobilized except to such extent as may
be necessary for her Government to
police the country.
There are some other questions
which have been discussed, il is
learned, In connection with the armis.
tice, but as most of them affect Aus.
tria and Turkey rather than Germany.
1t is unlikely that they will be includ.
ed in any terms to which Germany
must subscribe If she is to have peace.

ARMY LIFE TRAINS HURDLER
Bob simpson's Case Is an Exception,
According to Views Of an Eastern
Sport Critic.

Bob Simpson, the worlds greatest
hurdler, is said to have demonstrated
that army training In itself is prac-

to do himself justice in any speciality
he may have in athletics. Lieutenant
Simpson, after layoff Of five months
from athletics went over the high
sticks, without preparation, inside of a
second Of his worlds record of IA 3-5.
The chances are, writes an Eastern

most severe character.
Southeast of Arras the British line has yielded only
about three miles at the greatest depth since Saturday.
Immediately west of the Somme, south Of Peronne,
the Germans suffered heavily in forcing crossing of
the river and seemingly have not been able to advance
as fast as they did before the river was reached.

Although still giving ground
at points before the desperate
German drive, the British and
French armies engaged in the
great battle in northern France
are preserving their united front
intact and apparently awaiting
the opportune moment for the
delivery of a counter-blow to
diSpel the German dream of
world dominion.
Big events are impending in
the immediate future and the
advices from the front indicate
that these are expected to de-
velop favorably to the allies,
probably within the next few
hours.
All accounts agree that Ger
many is paying heavily for every
foot Of ground she has wrested
from the allied armies. Her
casualties are shown by the
British official statement to have
mounted so high that every part
of the western front has had to
be drawn upon to provide badly
needed ieinforcements for the
battle area.

All the tanks which took part in
