French high com- mer to America. Clemenceau's right at the Conference of Versallles. P CHAPTER XIV. + THE ALLIED GENERALS IN SESSION On October 25 Marshal Foch sum- mons to Senlis Gen. Petain. Mar- #bal Haig, Gen. Pershing and Gen. Giltain, chief of staff of the Belgian aémy. The latter, however, Is de- liyed and does not attend the meet- ing. The commander-in-chief reads tlie correspondence to them and asks heir advice. None of them proposes 10 refuse the armistice. On the terms of the armistice their opinions are divided. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Maig speaks first. In his view the armistice should be concluded and concluded on very moderate terms. The victorious allied armies are ex- tcnuated. The units need to be re- organized. Germany is not broken in the military sense. During the last weeks her armies have with drawn fighting very bravely and in xcellent order. Therefore, if it is ired to conclude an arm and this, in his view, is very desirable—it is necessary to grant Germany conditions which she can Pl That is to say, the evacua- tion of the invaded territory in France and Belgium, as well as Al- ace-Lorraine, and the restitution of the rolling stock taken at the begin- 1ing of the war from the French and Telgians. 1t more is demanded, there is a risk of prolonging the war, which has already gost so much, and of ex- sperating German national feeling, with very doubtful results. For the evacuation of all invaded territories and of Alsace-Lorraine is sufficient to seal the victory. Pershing Wants to Hear Petain. Gen. Pershing says that, as chief of the American army in France, he desires first fo hear what Gen. Pe- tain has to v and to give h opin- fon afterward. Gen. Petain is of opinion that if an armistice is con- cluded it must be a real armistice, smplying fully and completely with \e definition laid down by President Wilson in his note of October 23; zn_ armistice making it impo: Sle for the enemy to resume hostil, ties and permitting the allies to Im- pose their own terms of peace. For that two things are essential. The first is that the German army should return to Germany without a can- non or 4 tank and with only its car- rying arms. To attain this he makes practical stggestions. THe specifica- tion of a time for withdrawal so short that it will be materially impossible for the enemy to carry away his war materiul. In addition to the evacua- tlion by the Germans of all invaded territory and of Alsace-Lorraine, the accupation by the allied armies not only of the left bank of the Rhine but of a zone fifty kilometers wide on_ the right bank: at the same time the delivery of five thousand locomo- tives and one hundred thousand cars should be demanded. Gen. Petain adds, however, that, although these conditions are indispensable, opinion, it the Germans will accept them. Agrees With Petal I Mrs. in" his . ' is hardly expected thatl"“’ woman’'s committee, will preside. M. Tardieu gives today the in- tereating detalls of the views expressed by the allled gen- erals, including Genm. Pershing, while the armistice terms were being lald down. The allled armies were tired and needed reorganization. The Germans were atill fighting very bravely and retiring in excellent order. the first line on the accompanying map. “At the end of four more days they must be beyond the second line. _“At the end of a further period of six days they must be beyond the thifd line. ‘Belgium, Luxemburg and Alsuce- Lorraine will thus be liberated within a total time of fourteen da; “The time limits will run from the day of the signature of the armistice. “In any case the total material left behind Dy the ememy must amount to— “Five thousand cannon (half heavy, half fleld pieces). About one-third of the German artillery. “Thirty thousand machine guns, or about one-half of all in the army. ‘Three thousand minnewerfer. “To be delivered where they now are in & manter to be later determined. “The allied troops follow up in these regions the progress of the cvacuation, which will be carried out in accordance with regulations to be later determined. Evacuation of the territory on the iefC vaus of the Kihine by the enemy armies. ? ¥ on the left bank of the Rhine will continue to be administer by the local authorities under the s ion of the allied armies of occupa- Garrisons to Hold Rhine. “The allied forces will assure the oc- cupation. of this territory by garrisons holding the principal Rhine crossings (Mayence, Coblenz, Strassburg), with at these points bridgeheads of thirty kilo- meters radius on the right bank. ‘Holding also the strategic points of the region. A neutral zone will be es- tablished on the right bank of the river running parallel to the river and forty kilometers to the east of it from the Swiss to the Dutch frontiers. “The evacuation by the enemy of the Rhine territories must be completed within the following time limits: “Up to the Rhine, eight days over and above the time limits set above—that is to say, twenty-two days in all from the signature of the armistice. “Beyond the neutral zone, three addi- tional days (twenty-five days in all from the signature of the armistice).

A woman's rally will be held at 8 o'clock ‘@iesday night in the audi- torium of the New National Museum under auspices of the woman's com- mittee of the united drive of the citizens' associations to secure new members.

Allled prisoners to be returned in the shortest possible time in & manner to be determined later.” This letter calls for no comment. Marshal Foch has taken counsel and considered. He has put to himself the question he urged upon his pupils at the Ecole de Guerre. “What is the object?” To break the fighting strength of Germany; to oblige Ger- many te submit to conditions of peace whatever they may be. In order to make sure of this. can we confine ourselves to Marshal Halg's sugges- tions? No: for the German army aft- er evacuating the invaded territories, which it would leave with the honors of war, would find itself entire and whole inside its own frontiers and remain a danger to the allies. 1Is it necessary to avert this danger to de- prive the enemy of all his war ma- terial? No; it will be sufficient to take that without which he cannot resume hostilities, and in addition, to hold the Rhine with bridgeheads at its principal crossings. In the abso- lute freedom of judgment, which the allied governments solemnly con- ferred upon him, the commander-in- chief decides that this is what is necessary and sufficient. The oppor- tunity is also to be afforded to him within the next few days of develop- ing his views and explaining on what his decision is based. s (Copyrighted by the Robba-Merrill Company®) 15TH INSTALLMENT TOMORROW.

VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY STARTS DRIVE Central Office Needs $10,000 to Con- tinue Charitable Work for Poor Families. ‘To aid in carrying its central office in its work during the coming win- ter. a $10,000 drive was launched last week by the St. Vincent de FPaul Soclety. The drive was started at a luncheon at the Harrington on Wednesday, at which Colonel Keller, Engineer Commissioner of the District, delivered an address pralsing tne work ione by the society and ex- ipressing appreciation for what the soclety is doing to sbare a govern: ment burden. Other speakers were Mgr. Thomas, recter of St. Patrick’s: Judge William H. DeLa Admiral William S. Ben- son, U. retired, and Rev. Dr. Jchn O'Grady. . A statement was issued last night declaring that the central office is seriously in need of funds to con- tinue its relief work. R Its policy in regard to poor and broken homes is that as long as there is any hope of improvement the family should be kept together. At present it has under care several cascs of mothers obliged to work and leave their children in care of neighbors. Such conditions are the beginning of many cases- of de- linquents in the Juvenile Court, the statement said. the wchildren lacking ! the proper supervision and normal home life and becoming associated with street gangs. The central office needs money to pension these mothers. It has also in hand at pre- sent some cases where the children have to be removel from the bad| example of immoral parents and sent to some good boarding school. which cases al; require financial help. 1 | l | The drive in its first two days has met with encouraging success.
