for election of a democratic congress. '
The stutemont, which was made pub

might 'hnve done, in three lines, that

an unconditional surrender."
Boosevolt and Taft declared iho war
was being fought to suppress one-man
i-umiui. rresment Wilson's 14 peace
terms were called general and vagne
and fear waa expressed that they would
not lead to a real peace treaty.
The- statement follows:. '
"1 The war must be fought to un

achieved before. ..; . ,. . .. ,,. "4
"2 The terms "of world peacrtairst"
"3 The democratic .administration
after expending billions of treasure and
exercising more absoluto power" than
any administration in our bistory must
give an account of its stewardship. i
"4 The hange from war conditions
to peace must be brought about with
the least disturbance and the work of
reconstruction must be broadly begun.
"A republican congress would be
much better qualified than one eon

the republicans made the winning of

AUSTRIANS GIVE UP .
ALL Of CONQUERED
TERRITORY NOV HELD
Orders IssLtd To Annies
From Vienna To Withdraw
Within Own Borders.
By J. W. T. Mason
(United Press war expert) :
New York, Oct. 31. To what extent
the crumbling Hapsburg empire is pre'
pared to resist on its own soil before
accepting the. demands of the demo
cratic nations for unconditional sur
render, will be made known within a
few days. ;
The withdrawal of the Austro-Hun-garian
"armies from all occupied- terri
tory, which has been ordered j tho
Vienna government, should permit the
dual monarchy to form, U lines afresh
along its own frontier by the first of
UQxt week, if the high army command
ronows the frantic directions of the
civilian rulers. ," '
Thereafter what is left of Austria
Hungary will have definitely abandon
ed all thought of conquest and if' it
continues the war it will be fighting
solely against terms of unconditional
surrender. ;.:- i
The ability of the Hapsburg armies
to prolong the struggle, even for self
defense, is highly doubtful. The disin
tegrating forces new at wet within
the tvmpirt"1iave already- mado-. self
preservation impossible. Although Aus-!
tria-Hungary continue, to be thought j
'of as one country, it is very doubtful!
whether at this moment tho authorities
at. Vientia are the do facto govern
ment of the Hapsburg empire, or, in
deed,' whether a Hapsburg empire 'now
exists in anything but name.
These matters will become dearer
when the troops of the dual monarchy
are 'behind their own boundary after
abandoning Poland, Serbia and Italy.
If a strong defensive fight can still
be made under tho Hapsburg banner,
the war in southern Europe will have
to bo carried well into the enemy's
territory.
But if loyalty to the imperial house
has vanished with the defeat of the
imperial armies, it will not be possible
for Karl to inspire his troops to con
tinue the struggle for a vanished sov
ereignty. In that event, November
