The Ger for an armistice was sub- mitted o the basis of acceptance of he peace terms already outlined by resident Wilson and when the- dis- cussfons start the allies and the United States will be in a position to dictate ts results. In fact, the real peace onference has been sitting at Ver- les 'he judgment of army officers as to he wituation on the western front in nse is that Germany must armi ce conditions or face of her armies.

Unless the situation the German armies forces similar «ction on the westerp front, however, is assumed here that the German case is being handled through diplo- matic channels. The present Berlin ivil government claims absolute uthority over the army. The Versailles conferees evidently did not sizn the final draft of the armistice terms until late today. Just fore § p. m it was stated at the te department that he work had not been completed. An hour later word went out from the department that an important statement would be forthcoming at § p. m. An attempt to apply the lessons of he Austrian armistice to Germany’s situation brings out several points upon which military men base their forecast of the German terms. For one thing. it is regarded as certain that complete evacuation of Alsace srraine will be insisted upon as well the occupation of the Rhine fort- by allied garrisons. Surrender of the German submarines and a sub- stantial part of the high seas fleet and the occupation of land defenses that protect German naval bases also is implied. So far as the German army is con- cerned, it must go back int0 Germany probably without the whole vast mech- pnism of war which it carried into France and Belgium. All the big guns, lanks and aircraft, under the Austrian yrecedent, would be concentrated and left under the direction there of the allied and American armies. 1t is pointed out, however, that |since Germany is the last of the cen- tral powers, when she surrenders, | there will be no need to provide for {the employment of her military equip- ment by Marshal Foch. There will be ino one left against whom to turn the {guns. The terms for Germany, there- !fore, probably will show that varia- tion from the Austrian conditions. One feature of the Austrian sur- render conditions which is thought here to have been duplicated in the German terms is the entrusting to | Marshal Foch of the carrying out of | these programs of demobilization and disarmament. Attention already Is being given here to the next phase after Germany ceases fighting.
