Ueiinany was wont to follow, fo occupa

mcasuie of ho suneudei cannot bo com-
paied with that of Austria, since Kranco
had so inllnltely le ot potenUallty V

ti Kin intrigue, no opportunity lor con
niVame with her deseited ally, no chance
but fo' her position to be of bupieme
advantage to the Entente and supremely
fatal to German.

lequUtion, half of the army's artillery
and equipment, aircraft asumbkd in
ordained bases, the naval station of 1'ola
and the ab.-olute control and direction of
all Austiian commeicc.
Such teims may be ujjaided as up
plemental to the main demand for tho
demobilization of the Austrian army and
the evacuation of all occupied foreign
tejrttoiy, but they ale what fortifies
this primal y condition with a maximum
of intensity.
The unparalleled ligidity of the

turn all that she bus taken, but without

Americans symbolical of "unconditional

fruits of peace to the vanquished as has
the Italian geneiahssimo.

within an iron ling of overwhelming
power. The peace conference will debate
the question of her international role.
Until it meets she exists without self
sfs&ertiun. All that tho Allies want fiom her they
liuve anticipated. All that they want
they will take at the most effective mo

purposes equally pertinent to the vast
enterprise of Get man humiliation em

Ol prime bigniflcance is tlie enforce
ment of a tiuo blockade against Gcr

transpoit for the Entente armies
throughout Austiia-Ilungaiy, not only is
the door Xa the East barred with steel,
