FIELD SURRENDER DEMAND
This Expected to Be Washing
toms Basis Of Guarantees,

WASHINGTON. Oct. 70. - Presi-
dent Wilson is working today on a re-
ply TO the last note from Vienna in
which the Austrian government accept
ed all principles and conditions Of the
president asked for armistiee and peace
proposals.
The reply, which probably will be
made public before night, is expected to
inform the authorities at Vienna that
on the basis OF acceptance Of all condi-
tions, including actual independence
and not mere autonomy for subject ma
tionalities, their request has been re-
ferred to the governments with which
the United States is associated.
Austria Must Surrender.
Although officials here regard the
AusIo- Hungarian situation as far from
clarified and are inclined to question
how far the government at Vienna now
is qualified to speak for anyone, the
understanding is that they are TO be
dealt with on the theory that, as in
the case Of the Germans, acceptance OF
armistice terms amounting TO surrender
In the field will be the best guarantee
OF faithful performance Of any promises.
These moves by the Austro- Hunga-
rian government and lis new foreign
secretary we're wholly unexpected and
were viewed In some quarters as en-
,abasiring the seriousness OF the situa-
