First, Bulgaria; then Turkey and lastly Austria Hungary, yielded to the terms of the Allies, and now poor Germany stands alone. The terms of the settle ment have been handed to her, and itjs probable that they will be accepted in the very near fu ture. The Armistice with Austria went into effect Mondav after noon, and the principal terms are about as follows: "The Aus-tro-Hungarian army is reduced by the armistice to a pre-war basis. The navy i.i rendered powerless while 15 of the best submarines and . the mo3t for midable part of the battle fl?et pass under Allied control. They must surrender all prisoners of war without reciprocity. From a position of power the dual kingdom is transformed in a day to a disarmed nation powerless to renew the struggle under any circumstances if she should so desire. "The Austro-Hungarian army on the western front must be withdrawn at once and demobil ized. Those troops inside the dual kningdom must be reduced to a pre-war statue at once. All German troops in Austro Hungary must leave within 15 days or be interned. The Allies can use all means of transpor tation, railway, water, air or highways over and through Aus-tro-Hungary and may use all strategic points in the dual em pire. The Austro-Hungarian government must abandon to the Allies all war materials in occupied territory, including coal. The 15 submarines which are surrendered ore of the new est and bestdesigns. All others must be dismantled. Beside the U-boats they must surrender three battleships, 12 torpedo boats, a mine layer and G Dan ube monitors. The remainder of the navy must be concenlrated at a designated point under Allied guard." All the Danube forts must be dismantled. All air craft concentrated at a point rr points named by Allies. The Pola docks and arsenals must surrender to the Allies. HcKINLEY Ii03Rf TBL'AX. Another Fulton County Soidier Boy't; Name AJd:d to the Honor Roll of Hi Country.

TOUCHED A WOMAN'S HEART Sleeping Soldier Utirrcd Mother In stinct In Gr.-y-Haired Lady Who Watched Him in Subway. Strange things happen even in the prosaic depths of 1 1 it swliway. Once. in a while (lie curtain of ((invention 1 draws uwuy and for un instant onu looks deep into life, itself before the jealous curtain falls ugain, says the New York Tribune. He was a private of artillery. His boyish face held lines of weariness, and as he slumped down into n cor ner seat of the car his red-corded hat fell olF, revealing that his hair was yellow and curly. He did not stoop to recover his hat but fell asleep al most as soon as he hit the seal. Tew noticed the gray-liaired wom an who sat opposite, watching him. She was gaunt and shabby. One wondered what sho was doing abroad at that early morning hour. She never took her eyes oH.tlie sleeping lad. Presently she arose to leave as the train jolted into a station. As she passed the boy she bent, lifted the battered campaign hat, laid it on his lap and then kissed him softly on his tumbled yellow hair?" lie did not stir ami she al most ran from the ear. The eurlaiu that had lifted for a brief moment fell again, and at least one sal watch ing the sprawled figure of the sul :lier, wondering.

However, there baa ntver been a declara tion of war liiher by the United or turkey. Turkey's war activities under the leadership of Germanophile Turks like Euver Pasha, has been marked by the severity with which the Turks have treated the But j jet nationalities in their pow er. The Turkish army tm many German cflicers and the Turkish m vy is controlled by Germans. It wis repartad several woous ago that the Germans in Turkey would probably resist if the Tuiks cpeind the Dardanelles to the Allies. It is net unlikely that one of the principal provi sions of the armistice will be that A litd warships shall occupy the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus and the Allied trcops shall tike control in C jnstsntinople. GREAT CHANGES. "Times have changed," remarked the reminiscent man. "I should say they have," rejoined Senator Sorghum. "Everybody is so busy thinking about military that us statesmen are liable to be overlooked. There isn't a political orator among us that has the nerve lo rise to his feet as of yore and claim persenal credit for saving the country." THOUGHT HE MEANT "CUTIES." "Isn't it just IiW those French girls to keep running after our good American boys." "What's the matter now?"
