Premier Clemenceau Declares
Peace May Not Come at Once
But Fate OF Peoples Is Fixed

Paris, Nov. 5.-M. Clemenceau. the
Premier. was accorded a. wonderful
ovation in the Chamber of Deputies
today as he read to the deputies the
terms of the armistice with Austria
Hungary. He also said terms had
been submitted to Germany. THE
terms to Germany" said the Pre-
mier, ARE what President Wilson
himself recommended to us for the
security of our troops. the mainte-
nance of our military superiority and
the disarmament of the enemy. in so
far that is necessary to prevent a re-
sumption of hostilities."
NJ. Ciemenceau declared that peace
might not be so near as some might
think, but that he could, however. as
sure the Chamber that the fate Of
the peoples henceforth was fixed.
There was prolonged cheering when
the Premier announced that the AL

DRASTIC TERMS
(By The Associated Press.

The terms on which Germany
may have peace have been delivered.
The element Of softness is absent
from them. Like the peace given
Austria Turkey and Bulga-
ria. the price Germany will have to
pay virtually is the price of abso-
lutte surrender.
The claws Of the great military ma
chinery Of Germany are to be drawn;
invaded territories must be evacu-
ated and compensation must be made
for all damage done to the civilian
populations in attacks by land, sea
and from the air. 'Impotency by Ger
many again to take the field is to be
insisted on. Meanwhile, the German
armies in Belgium and France are
being defeated Nowhere are they
able to stay the attacks of the al
lied forces. Ground is being given
over wide areas in Belgium and in
France from the Belgian border to
east Of the Mouse river.

NEW ZEALAND
TROOPS FEAT

British headquarters in France and
Belgium, Nov. 5.--(Reuters).-A great
feat Of the battle was the taking Of
LeQuesnoy by the New Zealanders
This town had immensely strong
ramparts, with deep meats. The New
Zealanders surrounded the fortifica-
tons while the airmen joined in the
attack. wheeling over the town and
attacking the garrison with their
machine guns. Under cover of a
smoke screen the New Zealarders
crept up to the gateway which the
Germans were keeping open as a line
Of retreat. Then followed confusion
and desperate fighting, and the en-
trance was secured. More than a
thousand prisoners We're taken,
while the British advanced to line
three miles east of the town. A re-
markable sight was the spectacle of
several German field batteries with
teams harnessed, their drivers and
gunners all mounted and sitting
smartly at attention making their
way back to the prison camp. The
great capture in guns w"s due to the
rapid advance over at least two
points where enemy artillery had
been concentrated.

lies had obtained the use of all means
OF transport in Austria Hungary.
NJ. Clemenceau was hailed as the
father Of victory" as he mounted
the tribune to announce the terms of
the Austrian armistice. The Deputies
all stood while the ovation lasted sew
eral minutes. During an address fol-
lowing the reading of the armistice
terms there was intermittent cheer
ing, especially when the Premier
spoke of the approach of final vic
tory. the defeat of Austria Hungary
and the complete glory of France. The
first Socialist Interruptions occurred
but the Premier remained upper
turbed, smoothing the taunts of the
opposition. The Chamber passed a
resolution providing that the speech
OF NJ. Clemenceau should be posted
throughout France.
What have done" said NJ. Glenn
enceau, 1T is France that has done
it. l have only made the best use
could of the instruments France has
given me. The supreme council at
Versailles has drawn UP the terms
OF an armistice with Germany. These
were sent yesterday to President
wilson, who. if he approves them
VIII make them known to the Inn
perlal and Democratic government"
At this point the house burst into
laughter. 1T will then be time
enough for Germany to address her
self to Foch'. the Premier added. It
was here that the Premier declared
that the terms to Germany were in
spired. as were those imposed upon
Austria, to prevent a resumption Of
hostilities in case Germany should
break her word. Before the Premier
read the armistice terms. Paul Des.
chanel. president of the chamber,
paid an eloquent tribute to the vic
torious Allied armies. After Bull
garia, Turkey: after Turkey, Aus
tria', said NJ. Deschanel. THE
Franco American armies are deliver
ing the Arsonne: Anglo Belgian arm
les are delivering Flanders; the Ital-
ian.s are at Trent and Triest."
The whole chamber then rose and
turned toward the italian ambassador
sitting in the diplomatic gallery. and
the ambassador stood and bowed his
acknowledgements. A similar scene
was enacted fhen NJ. DeschaneI re-
ferred to the Serbians.
N. Mayors, Socialist. asked the
government 10 fix date for an inter-
peliation as to whether the govern
ment was in accord with President
Wilson's fourteen points for peace.
