Washington.--Offic announcement
that the Austrian armistice had been
signed reached the State Department.
In making this known officials gave
no Indication of the terms imposed,
nor was there any explanation of
why cessation Of hostilities had been
delayed "a hours or more after the
actual signing of the articles OF sur
render. The generally accepted view
however, seemed to be that it was
desired to have virtually all Italian
soil freed Of enemy troops before the
Italian armies were committed to end
their attacks upon the routed Austrian
forces.
Military men here said the terms
which the Supreme War Council had
prepared would make it impossible for
the Austrians to renew hostilities,
probably including the disarming OF
the enemy troops and occupation of
strategic points as well. Some of
these, namely, Trent and Trieste, al
ready have been occupied by Italian
and allied forces.
Free movement Of the allied forces
through Austria to attack Germany
from the south should the supreme
war command decide such a stroke
necessary In the future also is expect
ed to be stipulated, Unofficial reports
from Vienna said the Germans were
preparing for such an attack by fever
ishly digging trenches aon and fortify'
ing the Rumanian frontier.

the military men here, both allied and
American, believe that her capitula-
ton will follow soon after the terms
