FULL TERMS UNKNOWN

London, October 31.-General Towns hende the British commander captured at Kut-el-Amara, was liberated several days ago by the Turks, Sir George Cave, the home secretary, announced in the House of Commons today, in order to inform the British admiral in com mand in the Aegean that the Turkish government asked that negotiations be opened immediately for an armistice. A reply was then sent that if the Turkish government sent fully accredited pleni- potentiaries, Vice Admiral Caithrop, the British commander, was empowered to inform them of the conditions upon which the allies would agree to stop hostilities and could sign an armistice on these conditions in their behalf.
 The Turkish plenipotentlaries arrived at Mudros Island of Lemnos, early this week and an armstice was signed by Admiral Calthrop on behalf of the allied governments last night It will come into operation at noon today.
 It is as yet impossible to publish full terms of the armistice, but they include the free passage of the allies fleets through the Bosphorus to the Black sea- the occupation of forts on the Darda- nelles and in the Phosphorus necessary to secure the passage of the ships, and the immediate repatriation of allied prisoners of war.

BRITAIN MAY HELP
PEACE AIR PROGRAM

By United Press.
LONDON, Dec. 14.-By maiD-
The British government may subsi-
die the air industry to give it the
necessary financial stability for rap
id peace-time commercial develop
ment
The air subsidy plan is being con
sidered by the air ministry among
other proposals.
Under subsidies it is hoped pri-
vate concerns soon would be build
ing thousands of commercial planes
and operating them as mail and
passenger carrying vehicles. This,
it is pointed out, would insure en-
ployment to thousands Of expert
ayiators trained during the war
Furthermore, it would enable Great
Britain at all times to have an I'M
mense airfleet at her disposal, to-
gether with the necessary trained
aviators.
The success of the subsidy plan
as it was worked out in connection
with the merchant marine and the
motor lorries is being cited as one
argument in favor Of air subsidies
When war was declared Great Brit
ain had her disposal thousands Of
merchant craft, many of which
quickly were transformed into fight
ing ships. Everybody remembers the
hundreds of motor lorries which
were sent to France from London
and other cities. The lorries are
much like the motor busses used on
Fifth Avenue, New York.
