ASKS ITALY FOR ARMISTICE. • London, Oct 31 The Austrian ’Commander-in-Chief has applied to General Diaz (Italy) for an armistice GERMANY SHAKING. READY FOR ANY TERMS. WHAT HINDEN3HJRG TOLD THE KAISER. (Received this day at lO.xo a.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 31. flic “Times” Washington correspondent states the Allies have not. yet sent the terms of the armistice to Germany. The general opinion is that the latest indications are that Germany is willing to make practically any concessions, and accept any terms to assure peace, but it is expected the severity of the armistice and peace terms the Allies will impose for the purpose of assuring the elimination of Germany as a menace to the peace of the world, and make her unable to recommence hostilities will come as a great shock to German militarists, ‘naval authorities and people. Excellent reasons exist for the belief, in official and djplomatio circles, that General Hindenburg flatly told the Kaiser that it was useless to continue fighting. The belief prevails, on what is considered reliable information, that Austria and Turkey have notified Germany that- they would sue for asc pa rate peace unless Germany obtained an armistice soon.
