The modifications which he ts qualified to grant are strictly Iimited. Any suspension of arms, éven if it is asked for on philanthropic grounds, is out of the question. It ts stajed that there should be no doubt that the armistice and the peace conditions are two distinct questio: and while Marshal Foch is duly qualified to negotiate the armistice, the peace negotiations are the concern of the Allied Governments. Mzrshal Foch will do nothing more than communicate to the delegates the already prepared conditions of the armistice, ‘This official statement bears out The Evening World’s con- tention on a recent day when many persons were worrying over pos- sible opportunities for ‘German parleying tactics in the two reserva- tions registered at the instance of the Allied Governments in con- nection with President Wilson’s fourteen peace principles: Preliminary to further discussion of peace principles the German military command must answer Yes to that which it has by this time ‘heard from the Commander in Chief of the Allied forces in the field. These conditions laid down through Marshal Foch are not like peace principles which require to be developed and applied. The armistice terms stand as a definite, detailed, immediate course of specific treatment to which Germany must submit before vshe can even get a look at peace. * The German delegates now within the French lines have until 11 o'clock Monday morning to make their answer whether or not ) Germany is ready to undergo that treatment. We have the word—picked up by wireless—-of the German dele- gates themselves that “the German proposal for an immediate conclu-' son and provisiona) suspension of hostilities was rejected by Mar- shal Foch.” Meanwhile, therefore, French, British and Americans keap steadily at the job of pursuing, killing and capturing Germans in France and Belgium. If the German answer is No the fighting will know no interrup- dion and next Monday will be like an: defeat and rout of the German forces. If the answer is Yes, Germany thereby and at once bécomes another Austria, to be stripped forthwith of power to resume hos- tilities.

In terror and derkness and dire seasickness, the stowaways found life But they could comfort themselves with the belief that every pitch of the heaving ship was carrying them a little nearer to France and to reunion with their beloved husbands, Then came a silence. The propellers had ceased to throb. An engine had broken down, The ship ‘was floating moveless, ‘ The sailor told the women what had happened, He adaed the cheery news that another ship of the convoy had just been hit by a torpedo and that the sea was swarming with For greater safety in case of danger he took them from the hold and hid them in a niche just under the main deck.
