THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBUBG. PA. GERMANY 1 WITHOUT AN ALLY Complete Collapse of Austria and Turkey. SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES ha, o, Must Soon Give Up Struggle Nearly 2,500,000 More Allied Soldiers To Throw Againit Huns. .Washington. Turkey and Austria w followed Bulgaria from the field f battle, accepting unconditional sur render and leaving Germany standing Jose, without a friend or an ally la the civilized world. Close upon the heels of this came cablegram. from Rome indicating that the defeated and overwhelmed Aus trian armies hud applied to the Italian General Diaz for an Immediate armis tice; also upon such terms as the Al- Ue might lay down. This propositi was forwarded forthwith to the Ver sailles Council, which is now consider ing the most momentous problems raised by the world war the problems T an Immediate peace. The effect of the day's events upon Germany outweighs in Importance all ther considerations. That Austria ras shattered and crushed has been o secret That Turkey was whipped ul all but overpowered has been known for weeks. That both of these Vowers, soon or late, would throw up their hands in helplessness, was evi dent to every nation at war with Ger Isanr. Jbut it is apparent. that the German feeopl and the German army were ? iJ ? -"-t- - t -r- . In Ignorance of theJmtnThent col lapse of the Quadruple Alliance while th imperlallstls still in the German uutdl manoeuvered desperately to ave themselves from banishment, and (heir criminal regime from destruction. It la confidently believed in Wash taftoa that the result of the Turk sud Austrian debacle will go far to Srard compelling Germany to accept the terms of the armistice which she not swallow If she is to have peace. It ki not agreed that the latest events rfll force the militarists from power 11 at once and end the war, but it is the conviction of most officials that the imperialists will realize without Majr that they are soon to face a w military situation and that to hold ut much longer would be suicidal. With Turkey out of the war and totem ed and with Austria dismem- Vered and her armies scattered like a cerey or birds, the Allies will be in a 'position to throw into France or upon h German frontier, through Austria, new and victorious army and that onld soon have Germany In a vise bere she might be pulverized at the pleasure of the Allied Governments. 4AIL0RS RIOT IN NORFOLK.

Instead of the 17Ui t.lL ' - ARMISTICE TERMS AGREED UPON Will RenaV Germany Helpless To Resume the War, GUARANTEES TO BE EXACTED Terms Include Evacuation Of All Oc cupied Territory Surrender Of Rhine Fortresses, Loss Of All Ordnance. Washington. It is the fixed deter mination of the Allied, military com manders to render Germany utterly powerless from a military standpoint, If she accepts the terms of the armis tice to be laid down In answer to the latest German note and soon to be an nounced not only to the Government in Berlin but to the world at large. It should be remembered in this con nection that Germany's enemies have laid down two general conditions upon which peace might be had. The first is, th destruction of the German mill taiy power and her surrender of all conquered territory. The second Is that Germany must make reparation to Belgium and France for the wanton destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property In each. The first proposition was compara tively easy to work out. Marshal Foch and his superstaff of field officers know exactly what needs to be done to dis arm Germany, but the laying of a lien upon her without actually seizing and garrisoning great areas of her terri tory Is as much a problem of states manship as of disarmament. But that problem seems to have been met. Here are the leading terms of the armistice, as they stand at this moment: 1. Germany is to withdraw her ar mies from occupied territory in France, Belgium, Russia and Roumanla and must do It within a time to be specified by Marshal Foch. 2. Not only must her armies in France and Belgium retire to their own frontier, but they must drop back of the river Rhine at all points, leaving the whole of the area between her frontier and the Rhine unprotected, if not actually In the hands of the Al lied armies. 3. The whole chain of German for tresses facing the line of France, and Including Metz and Stiassburg, are to be occupied and gnirlsoned by Allied armies. 4. Germany is to release every Allied soldier held prisoner of war, but the Allies are not to release any Germans held prisoner until the work of recon struction In Belgium and Northern France Is completed. 5. Germany Is to surrender all sub marines In the Mediterranean and is to surrender one of every type of U boat now In her service. 6. The German armies are to be dis armed through the loss of all their ordnance, light and heavy, but it is not clear yet whether this will Include the side arms of the enemy troops. 7. The German armies must be de mobilized except to such extent as may be necessary for her Government to police the country. There are some other questions which have been discussed, it is learned, in connection with the armis tice, but as most of them affect Aus tria and Turkey rather than Germany, It Is unlikely that they will be Includ ed1 In any terms to which Germany must subscribe If she is to have peace.

The Pres ident added that In the Interim the United States hnd recognized .the Czechoslovaks as a belligerent and had recognized thp asplratloni or the Jugo-Slavs for freedom. He continued: "The President is therefore no long er at liberty to accept the mere 'au tonomy' of these peoples as a basis of peace, but Is obliged to Insist that they and not he shall be the Judges of what action on the part of the Austro-Hungarlan Government will satis fy their aspirations and their concep tion of their rights nnl disilny as' members of the family of ti.it ions."
