An adorable mystery, this coming Of
the spring lido not try to explain 1t
away), and we, working in our gar
dens, are at the heart of it. Small
wonder that we can hardly wait to be-
gin. Many an enthusiastic possessor OF
a small garden wishes at this season
that he could enlarge his area and in
crease his facilities. His neighbours

and pits, do look tantalizingly desir-
able. But even the small garden can
be provided at a small cost with the
means for Fastening the maturity of
many things. Indeed, the garden it
self, if rightly furnished, will be found
ready with its early gifts. The French
sorrel, already referred to, Rumex
Scutatus. is among the first. Its leaves,
not yet half grown, are meltingly ten
der and spicily tart, needing only the
addition of oil and thought" of salt
to provide a salad ''fit to set before the

Official Announcement of Surren-
der to DiaZ.
TERMS TO BE MADE PUBLIC
Fighting on the italian Front Ends
as Conditions Are Accepted by the
Austrian mmander-Allied
War Council to Announce
Terms at Once.

London, Nov. Am armistice with
Austria was signed Sunday by
General Diaz, the italian commander
in-chief, according to an official an
nouncement made here. The text
of the statement reads:
ga telephone message has been re-
ceived from the prime minister in Par
is saying that news has just come that
AustriaHungary, the last of Ger
manys props, has gone out of the war.
"The armistice was signed by Gen
eral Diaz Sunday afternoon and will
come into operation Monday at three
o'clock, p. m. The terms will be pub
lished Tuesday"
Possibilities Cease.
Vienna, Nov 4-"HOStilit:es have
ceased in the Italian theater of war;"
says an official statement issued here.
Gan armistice has been concluded"
the statement adds
Terms to Be Made Public.
Paris, Nov. 4.--Official announce
ment of the signing of the Austrian
armistice reached the premers while
they were in session ut the apartment
of Colonel House, President Wilson's
special representative, and gave the
greatest satisfaction.
1t was arranged that the conditions
of the armistice' would be made public
promptly.
Confirmed by George.
London, Nov. 4-Premer Lloyd
George telephoned from Paris that the
Austrian armistice was signed at Gen
eral Diaz' headquarters Sunday.
Terms to Be Stern
No official hint as to the terms ac-
copied by Austria has been disclosed.
but in view Of the officially inspired
statement from Washington yesterday
of the terms proposed for Germany it
is believed they Will be at least as
stringent.
The terms proposed for Germany
are such that their acceptance would
mean virtual military surrender and
would place Germany at the mercy of
the allies.
1t is believed that the same general
lUea governs the TERMS W ne OIelcu
her principal ally.
The italian Irridentist claims I'M
doubtedly have an important bearing
on the terms accepted by Austria.
Wilson's Terms Follow.
An official announcement issued by
the italian government yesterday, stat
ing that negotiations for an arnlstice
were under way, is significant. 1t said
in part:
"The conditions of the armistice are
inspired by the principles Of President
Wilson, namely, to render impossible
for the enemy to recommence war
and to prevent him profting by an
armistice to withdraw from difficult
military situation. The condition OF
the battle along our front demon
strates the great value of these terms"
The claim Of Italy to the provinces
of Trent and Triest doubtless has been
allowed in the signing of the armistice,
while press dispatches today, report
inc the landing of italian troops at
the fort of Triest, indicate that Aus
trials sea power is to be curbed at
least by the surrender of her princl-
nal seaports on the Adiatic, if not by
the surrender of her entire navy.
