Right in keepimg with what has been expected in view of ms trend of events is the announcement that an armisties has been signed with Aus- tria which will go into effest Monday | afternoon at three o'clock. meaning' that all fighting will cease at that time hetween the allied forces an@ the armies of the dual monarchy. Austria thus appears to be in a way to secure whal it has been calling for in greater or less-degree for a period of many months, for there Is every reason to belleve in view of the course which has been followed in the ocase of other emémy natioms that the ac- tion taken virtnally amounts to a sur- render. 1t would indeed be a great surprise if it ghould prove that the terms were anything different, The effect of the alied drive on the western front has been felt in Aus- tria no less seriously than in Ger- many. Following the throwing back of the Austro-Hungarians in the at- tempt to advance bevond the Piave it became evident that the Italiam front had been so strengthened that the central powers could expect little suc- cess in that direction. The reverse of the Teutonic drive increased the Qdiscouragement at a time when nter- nal conditions were steadily getting worse. To have Bulgaria” forced out af the war at such a time was more than the war leaders of Emperor Charles' country could hope to over- :ome and the armistice means that the overrunning of Austria lied forces has been prevented. Aus- tria is not going to be overlooked when it comes to dictating the peace terms, for it must pay the penalty for its work, but it materially weakens the fight which the Germang can noeforth put up, as is evidenced by fact that they are already forti- tying their Bavarian front. But what is still more important it makes it avident that Germany must come, at no distant date, to the terms which the allied governments will deeide, or have decided to exact. The action of Aus- tria serves to advance the day of reace. the al- THE BLACK_SEA FLZET. The publication of the terms under which Turkey has surreniered shows that that country has thrown itself at feet of the entente natigns, that it has broken loose from the cen- tral powers and that henceforth the ies will be able to make use of Its rallroads and the straits leadinz to the Black rea for the purpose of giv- inz much needed aid to Rumania and Russla While Turkey has not been or very much assistance to Germany for some time it has nevertheless kept a con- siderable allied force hoth on Jand and sea (Hm engaging n activities in other flelds.

It might have beem in keepirg with the German poliey of destruetion but it would have accomplished nothing and even now the surrendering of that flack sea fleet even ag the Austrian feet has besn turned over is within the bounds of possibility for it must be recognized that with superior op- position ready to amnihilate it there is n0 chanee s EDITORIAL NOTES The man on the corner says: Near- Iy _every guilty man's idea of justice is _another chance, Of course it is fully recognized now wat the “politics is adjourned” has l¢come another merap of yaper.
