viction prevailed' that refusal to
sign, or dilatory treatment of the
proposals, would meet with an im-mediate
advance of the ailied arm-ies
beyond the Rhine, involving the
occupation of the most important
and indispensable industrial dis-tricts
of west Gormany.
The representatives of the parties
who participated in the cabinet de-liberations
agreed unanimously that
the people as a whole would neither
understand nor approve such an out-come,
and that therefore there was
no alternative except to sign under
protest.
Weimar. Feb. 17.—The party
speeches in the German national as-sembly
which had been set down for
this afternoon, suffered a rude in-terruption
by the outcome' of the
new armistice negotiations. The
general outlines of the new terms
were known early to-day, and it was
no surprise when President Fehren-bach
announced that the speeches
and arguments would be deferred,
so that Mathias Erzbenger, head of
the German armistice delegation,,
.might gdve a personal explanation of
what happened between his depar-ture
for Treves last week and his
unexpectedly quick return to-day.
Erzberger noticeably wrought up
and laboring under a strain, began
witfh the announcement that the del-egates
were entitled to know at the
earliest moment the full detail of
the negotiations.; He then read the
terms and the'house listened in al-most
agonized silence. The slight-est
etir or • noise /brought angry
hisses; the assembly never had been
one tithe no still.
The members of the house stirred
uneasily as he finished and stopped
for breath. Before continuing h;<
explanation llerr Erzberger inter-jected:

Washington, Feb. 17.—Use of

able developments of war surgery,
was described to-day by the surgeon
general's office for the benefit of the
families of hundreds of soldiers
whose lives were saved by blood
translusion.
One of the heaviest causes of
death among wounded soldiers is
hemorrhage. Immediately after the
United States entered the war the
medical department began organiz-ing
to reduce the number of fatali-ties
from this cause. It Was decided
that simple methods should be em-
It Was a "Fateful Hour."
"It is my wish that you may never

He then refered to the unfortu-nate,
well-nigh fatal delay in. the" ar-rival
of the terms at Weimar and
went into details on Marshal Focii's
ultimatum., which, he «ai«l_ -he nv.-,
assured was framed with the un-qualified
approval of President Wil-son.
Mnrse Foch Was "Stern."
Heir Erzberger told of the efforts
to secure modifications, but said
Marshal Foch had been sternly in-sistent
on, the acceptance of the
terms. He touched only briefly, but
clearly, on his successful protest.,
against Polish incorporation of Si-lessia
and his unsuccessful efforts to
'save Birnbauai, Bentschen and other
He emphasized that

of keeping the Poles in

safety of the Germane on the Polish
side.
To llerr Zrzberger's protests.
Marshal Foch replied that all were
purely military measures and in ac-cordance
with President Wilson's
fourteen points.

Paris, Feb. 17.—Marshal Foch
this afternoon informed the su-preme
council of the acceptance by
the Germans of the conditions for a
renewal of tho armistice.
Marshal Fo«Sh appeared in person
before tne council of the great pow-ers
to-day and anonnnced the ac-ceptance
and the signing by the Ger-mans
of the new conditions of the
armistice.
The signing took place at 6
o'clock Sunday evening1 on board
Marshal Foch's private car at Tre-ves.
Tli's averts what promised to be a
rather critical situation, as it had
been reported that the' Germans
might persist in carrying out their
intimations of a refusal to sign.
The new terms, while still with-held,
are understood to restrict Ger-man
operations against Poland
within certain fixed lines, thus re-moving
the danger of a military
clash, and at the same time opening
access between the- interior of Po-land
and the Baltic sea.
But more important results will
take form shortly when Marshal
Foch returns to Treve6 for submis-sion
of the details of the disarma-ment
and demobilization of the Ger-man
forces which are being formu-lated
by the military, naval and eco-nomic
advisers of Posh. These are
of a nature amounting in fact to a
preliminary peace agreement.
Disarmament is understood to in-clude
both the naval and military
branches, and the naval authorities
expect the ultimate naval terms will
provide for the dismantling of the
I in !■* t''^k*
Kiel canal, the canal being opened
for commercial navigation.
While the blockade is not raised
by the'present terms yet it is expect-ed
that the disarmament under later
and more complete terms will otah
viate the necessity of a further
blockade and permit such economic
and food relief as is determined up-on.
The council of the great powers
to-day gave a further hearing on
the Russian question but no decis-ion
was reached. The feeling seems
to 'be general that no decision is in
sight and that none of the pending
plans offers much of a prospect for
arriving at satisfactory solution.
Some Provisions of Xew Armistice
Treves, Feb. 17.—Under the ne*
terms for the renewal of the armis-tice,
as presented to the Germans toy
Marshal Foch, Germany must aban-don
all offensive movements against
the Poles and also must prohibit her
troops crossing the Russian frontier
at a certain line.

Washington, Feb. 17.—The "true
blue" Democrats of the land, and
Republicans too, are in for a sur-prise
party when they analyze the-new
public buildings bill just re-ported
to the house by the commit-tee
on public buildings. It is an ex-ample
of Democratic unselfishness
little short of marvelous near the
close of a Congress controlled by
them, for more than half the ap-propriations
and buildings recom-mended
are for states, which are
dominated by the G. O.P.
Eleven states of the "solid South"
get but $1>3,000,000, while the re-maining
states and the District of
Columbia, Hawaii and Alaska get
about $50,000,000^ the South's por-tion
being about SO per cent. This
may be explained partly by the fact
that but five of the six Democrats
on the public buildings committee
are from Southern states.
Seven states—Illinois, Massachu-setts.
California, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania—get
more than $30,000,000 of the total
in the bill. Ohio is the on|ly one of
these not now in the Republican col-umn,
but in the new Congress all
will be Republican. One of the co-incidences
of the situation, is that
each of the prominent candidates
proposed for speaker Is from one of
the states named.
In the report to the house the cry
of "pork barrel" is denounced by
the committee. It contends that the
provision of work for unemployed
and returning soldiers will be the
chief big benefit of authorizing pub-lic
buildings. They are badly need-ed,
6»id the committee, because of
the congestion and because of In-creasing
business.

the grave which we ourselves

A German wrote that. It is the
Boche cry in impotent rang&.
What is remarkable about it is
that the rage is against the Germans
themselves.
It's the final sentence of a haran-gue
of self-blame printed by a Ger-man
newspaper cawed the Gazette
of the Cross.
•Here is what the Gazette of the
C»oss says:
"At the beginning of last year we
were a proud, all-powerful people,
crowned with the* laurels of victory.
Here we are now—disarmed' and
given up. hand and foot, to the
mercy of the enemy. Our invincible
army has been beaten.
"The passage in Scripture which
says, 'You will be despised among
all nations,' has come true for us.
"Shame eats into our hearts. For
that which is the most terrible for
us is that we cannot accuse God of
the world for what has become of
us. We can accuse only ourselves.
