UNITEDPRESS WAR REVIEW

Both Turkey and Austria are through
and admit it.
Crushed by the Allied Armies, torn by In
ternal dissensions, Germany's two remain
ing tools are frantically begging for peace
without waiting for definite conclusion of
an armistice.
Austria has officially announced that her
armies are being withdrawn from Italy and
the Balkans. Allied troops are assisting
greatly in hurrying the Withdrawals. Tur-
key is reported to meet the Allies, which
means practically an unconditional surren-
der and to agree to an armistice. She sug-
gests that the Allies fleet enter the Darden-,
nelles, that Allied troops be landed to super
wise the mobilization of the Turkish armies
and that all Turkish violators of civilized
warfare be punished.
