German Armistice Terms Seen Driving War End
Personal Representative of President Wilson reports that German proposals for armistice and peace are now driven by the German people rather than the military. Officials expect a note to Austria’s plea for peace, with Austria nearly out of the war and seeking favorable terms. Cont Andrassy’s move to Italy for peace signals hopeless dual-empire prospects. The supreme war council's deliberations remain undisclosed. Turkey's surrender terms demand complete compliance and freedom of naval passage at the Dardanelles.
