"There now is nothing to prevent

GREAT TEUTONIC
ALLIANCE RAPIDLY
FALLING APART
Breaking Up of Enemy Nations on Their Home Fronts More j
Momentous Than Events in Main Theaters of Actual
Battle Colossal Drama of Victory Being
Brought to Climax. j
(By The Associated Press)
The great Teutonic alliance, which
for four years has carried on the
greatest war in history and often
seemed to have almost achieved suc
cess, is tumbling to pieces. Bulgaria
and Turkey have surrendered, Aus
tria with anarchy reigning throughout
tho klndom, is begging for peace, and
Germany is anxiously awaiting the
terms of the Allied nations.
In fact news of the breaking up of
tho enemy nations on their homo
fronts is more momentous than even
reports of the events in tho main the
aters of actual battle.
Turkey at Mercy of Allies
Turkey has apparently given up ev
erything, agreed to the opening of tho
Dardanelles and the Bosphorus and
thrown herself upon the mercy of tho
Allies. In this phase of tho war the
United States is not an active partici
pant. This country has not boon at
war with tho Ottoman empire. Entry
of tho Black sea by British, French
and Italian warships may be announc
ed at any time with the final act of
the drama in that region of the world
' but a short distance away. Assistance
to Rumania and to Russians in south
ern Russia is only ti matter of a brief
period.

Seething Anarchy at Home
At home Austria seems to be seeth
ing hot bed of anarchy. Railroads of
the most vital importance have been
cut, rioting of violent nature has oc-1
curred in many of the larger cities ,
and the imperial authorities at Fiume, j
Prague and possibly other cities havo j
