 4,nting with them, and with the American cOntngentS in reserve, arc pouring through what appears to be breach in the Austrian lines east of the Piave river
 Val6obbiadene has been captured, Conegliano has been occupied and alorg a line stretching south lo tile Trevlso- Oderzo railroad, the allies are moving steadily ahead. Prisoners numbering more than 2O,0OO have been taken during tne fish:in.
 Reports from the Piave front seem to indicate that after the first rush of the allies, the Austrian resist aEce weakened greatly and .her3 are indications that along the centci of tEe line the enemys defense has been crushed. The sweep of the allies eastward appears to have gained mo- lnentum during the past day and 1t seemsp roDable that the next few days may see the whole Austrian army fronting the 'Piave in retreat taward the Tagliamento.
 Not only are the Austrian fines yielding on the Piayc front but fur thel north and west the allies are reported to be advancing. The cap ture of Conegliano, the key to the Austrian position, is considered q fatal blow to the encmy's plans to hhold north of the line where the allied wedge has been driven deep intc tho Austrian 1ipc.
 Bitter fighting has been going oil in the Mouse sector :l,iring the last day or two. East of the Mouse the American forces have moved ahead once more and have wreSted inpor- tant position from the Germans. West of the Mouse, the Germans have been heavily 'bombardipss the Amerl- can lines and, back areas with gas and high explosives. American long range artillery has been pounding the German supply lines at oonflans.
 West of the Argonne forest, the FrFnch have begun an attack which seems to promise the turning of the Aisne line, which is ,Ee main o5- stecle to the French advance i'm n.eatately west of the Argonne ill the region of Vouzieres. The new at tack was over the front from Quentin I.c Petit to Herpy, north of the Aisne, and progress made in the first few hours of the onslaught indicated that important results are within reach.
 On the Oise-Serre front the French are slowly tightening their hold Cn the lines about Guise, while south Cf tha: town they are moving ahead in spite of the desperate resistance on the part of the enemy. In the EeighborhoOd of Valencieaues the British are apparently checked for the moment. at least no significant progress has been made during the lasr day or two. North of Valenci- ennes the French, British and Bel slans have improved their lines tut do not appear to have succeeded 'n Areaking through the German de- fcnsive lines defending Ghent.
 The Versailles conference has, it is reported, agreed on the terms for an armistice and olso on the final peace demands It is said that they will be submitted simultaneously to the German government. London re- ports that the allied nations will de- mand the surrender of the German fleet, including all submaries and tho occupation of all the fortified towns on the Rhine.
 Internal conditions in Germany and Austria appear to be rapidly grow ing worse. Rioting, in which large number of persons were killed, is reported from Budapest. In Ger many. the population is said to be {. Do ctO r3 by depositors. it is reported.
