The Allied armies in halv maintain their pursuit of the Austrians and west of the Meusc and in Flanders Marshal Foch continues to press: the Germans. With V alenciennes gone the Germans not unlikely will have to give up Tournai and to retreat both in Flanders and south of Valenciennes. Ghent Endangered by Advance In Belgium the Allies, including American troops have reached the Scheldt on a wide front southwest of Ghent and arc reported to be west of the river at Eecke, seven miles south-southwest of Ghent. The German situation around Ghent is becoming, hazardous. West of the Meuse the Germans now are in a serious position through the successful American and French drive of Friday! which placed them in a pocket in the forest of Boult. north of the Argonne. General Goaraud's men resumed the offensive Satur-i day and are pressing through tlie wooded regkm west of the Boult forest. The French, and Americans have captured more than 4.400 prisoners. Diaz Gives Armistice Terms ' Allied armistice terms have been handed the Austrians by ' ieneral Diaz, whose victorious troops continued to push the enemy hack on a front of more than 125 miles from Lake Garda to the Piavc. Between Asiago and the Piave the Allies have, advanced to the Brenta at Grigno. The Austrians apparently are fleeing precipitately northward through the Trentino, leaving thousands of prisoners and hundreds of guns to the Allies. Fast of the Piave the Italians. British and Amercians arc. pressing toward the Tagliamento along the entire front. North of Sacile they are well east of the Livenza which river also has' been crossed south of Sacile. North of Belluno the Italians are] pressing onward into the Carnic Alps, outflanking the hard-! pressed Austrians in the Venetian plains to the south. North of the Adriatic the Italian Third army is pushing ahead rapidly with the Austrians before them in an apparent rout. It is re ported the Austrians are evacuating Udine. the principal fortress on the Venetian plains west of Gorizia. The Allied, armies in Venetia have captured additional thousands of Austrians. Austrian Dreadnought Sunk Italian naval units also are active against the Austrian coast along the Adriatic. Rome announces that the Austrian dread-' nought Veribus Unitis has been destroyed by the Italians. More than one thousand square miles of Italian territory had been liberated by the Allies up to Friday. Events are moving with dramatic swiftness in the battle zones of France and Italy. In the former the French, Americans and British struck the enemy on three sectors of the long front yes-; terday. In Italy the Italian. French. British and American forces' p-essed on in pursuit of the Austrians retreating over the plains; of Venetia or plunged through the mountain barrier so longj maintained by the enemy on the mountain front. Copenhagen reports that King Boris of Bulgaria has abdicated, lie ascended the throne on October 3. A peasant government is: said to have been formed. Count Julius Andrassy, who has been Austro-Hungarian for eign minister only eight days, has resigned. • Austrian Government Powerless Advices as to conditions in Austria are confusing. It seems,' however, that the Imperial government is powerless in the crisis,l which has come at Vienna. Some reports say Emperor Charles is ' a fugitive from his capital, but other advices say he and Empress Zita still are in Vienna. Austria seems to be splitting up into a number of independent states. There seems to be no doubt that the Austrian fleet at Pola has been surrendered to the Croatian, national committee. The Croatians have declared their union l with Italy. Germany has recognized the new Czecho-Slovak government] at Prague and has opened diplomatic intercourse with it. 3 j - \ Three Central Figures in Collapse of Turkey |U_ - ,V, } ALLEMB^ ENVtrt^KßPP^' PASKA j Here are the central figures in the , events which forced Turkey to plead I for an armistice.
