Complete Collapse of Austria

.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.

An earlier official dispatch from

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.

Asks President To Begin
Overtures.
Basel. Austro-Hungary, in notifying
President Wilson that it Is ready to
enter upon peace negotiations and ar
range an armistice, asks President
Wilson In Its reply to him to beglr.
overtures on the aubject.
The Austro-Hungarlan Foreign Mill
later Instructed the Austro-Hungarlur.
Minister at Stockholm to ask the
Swedish Government to send the fol
lowing note to the Washington Gov
ernment:
Adheres To President's Views.
In reply t' the note of President
Wilson of ine 18th (19?) of t'il
month, addiessed to the Austro-IIun
garlan Government and giving the Co
clslon of the PreMdont to speak dl
reclly with the Austro-Hungarlan Gov
ernment on the question of an arm!
tlce and of peace, the Austrollun
garlan Government has the honor t:
declare that, equally with the preced
Ing proclamations of the President, il
adheres also to the same point of view
contained in the last note upon lh
rights of the Austro-Hungarlan peo
pies, especially those of the Czecho
Slovaks and the Jugo-Slnvs.
Consequently, Austria-Hungary, ac
cfptln? all the conditions the Vvci
dent has laid down for the entry htr
negotlhtiuns
for an armistice nnJ
peace, no obstacle exists, according ?
the Judgment of the Austrn-IIungartau
Government, to the beginning of tliise
negotiations.
Ready For Sepnato Peace.
The Austro-Hungail;m Government
declares Itself ready. In consequence,
without awaiting the result of other
negotiations, to enter Into negotiations

and the states In the opposing proup
and for an Immediate armistice upon
ell Austro-Hungarlan fronts.
It asks President Wilson to be fo
kind as to b'-gln overtures on this sub
Jrct.
The Austrian note is dated October
28, at Vienna, and Is signed by Count
Julius Andrassy, the new Foreign Min
ister. Told Autonomy Was Not Enough.
In his reply to Austria-Hungary, Oc
tober 19, President Wilscn said that
events of utmost Importance had al
tered the attitude and responsibility
of the United States since his speech
of January 8. to the 14 points which
were arcepted by Austria. 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."
In the Inst few days It !i.t. been re
ported that the Czechs were In com
plete control In Bohemia. It also has
been reported that the Jugoslav na
tions have taken cteps to throw off
the yoke of Austria and establish a
Iree state.
