IN FBANCE. Oct. 29. While the Me

from the American long-range guns
the Germans are putting up their
bitterest struggle east of the Meuse.
The Belleu wood positions In that
region are now the keystone of th
entire west front. If the Americans
capture these heights they will have
i clean sweep across the valley to
the Mexleres-Sedan-Longuyon rail
way, and the enemy will be forced
to retire behind that line.
Bellea Wood Held.
Smashing of these heights posi

ley the comparatively short distance
to Montmedy (twenty-fivH miles di
rectly north of Verdun) will bs equal
in Importance to the longer advance
to Mezleres, (twentyTelght miles
northwest of Montmedy).
Belleu wood is now held by the
Americans. They must still take the
heights on". either side. The wood
was first taken by storm, then lojt
.as the result of a boche counter at
tack with heavy reinforcements. The
fighting swayed back, and' forth until
the wood was restored.

Brier Iron fields and bringing the

The center of international develop
ments -had shifted today from Wash
ington to Versailles.
The military authorities there, rep
resenting the United States and all
of the entente allies, will speak the
next word. They will tell Austria
how she can secure an lmmediatel
peace on the basis of unconditional
surrender. They will frame, for the
approval or veto of the "Big Four"
of the supreme council and Field Mar
shal Foch, commander-in-chief of the
allied armies; the guarantees - which
must accompany any armistice ar
ranged with Germany.
The voting members of the "Big
Four" are President Wilson, repre
sented In person by Col. E. M. House;
Premier Lloyd George, of Great
Britain; Premier Clemenceau, of
France, and Premier Orlando, of Italy.
The vote of the President can be cast
by Colonel House, but on matters of
supreme Importance it is expected to
be cast by cable, as the White House
will be in direct communication with
Paris during all of the deliberations.
Kaiser's .Anies Ota.
Official Washington today accepted
as a fact that Austria and Turkey
are out of the war. Turkey is still
negotiating, but there Is a complete
lack of Interest here as to what the
Ottoman government may or may not
do. The Turkish problem Is one
which must be settfed at the peace
conference which will settle for all
time the Balkan question which hss
kept all Europe In a turmoil for gen
erations. Because of this fact there
was no desire on the part of officials
here to discuss Turkey In any way.
The Turk undoubtedly will be
driven out of Europe, his dependent
nationalities formed Into nations
along racial lines and Constantinople
and the Dardanelles Internationalized.
But that Is all In the future. And
the peace conference will decide Just
how It all will be done. The one
thing of supreme Interest here today
was what action will be taken to give
Austria the peace she seeks and what
guarantees must be demanded from
Germany before there can be any fur.
ther negotiations.
While Versailles, of course, will
have the say In the two problems,
there was much speculation here to
day on both. It was accepted that
In the case or Austria tne demands
would be In many respects along the
lines set forth when the Bulgarian
question was disposed of. Austria
will have to agree, officials say, to
about the following:
.Terms For Austria.
Immediate demobilization of her
armies.
Guarantees that these troops will
not be used against the .Croats, the
Slovenes, the Czechs, or the Bon
manlans.
Free use of the Austrian national
railways by the entente.
Occupation of all Important Aus
trian fortified cities, by International
troops pending' the calling of a peaco
conferinre.
Surrender to the aUlM forces of
tho big Austrian gun and munition
centers bo that the German supply of
Austrian-made war supplies would be

Surrender to the allied Mediter
ranean naval forces of the big Aus
trian naval base in the (Adriatic, to
be held 'until the peace council deter
mines after-war naval plans.
Granting of permission for the
movement of allied troops, through
Austria for such use, against Germany

trlan term's.wll be, at feast along these
drastic lines, -although, of courre, the

that will be used.
