WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—I!t is said here the authorities at Berlin who ordered that the armistice be signed are responsible for the carrying | out of its terms. Should they fail to do’so in any particular, the armis- tice can be brought to an end abruptly and hostilities resumed to the ex- tent necessary. The situation of the fleet in German harbors would be critical it| they defied the Berlin authorities. Shore batteries could soon compel them to put to sea and the Alliéd waval power concentrated for the task undoubtedly would make short work of them. FOCH TO MOVE BASE TO METZ; PREMIERS ARRANGE. MEETING TO TAKE UP PEACE PROBLEMS, PARIS, Nov. 12.—French general headquarters will be transferred to Metz within ten days, was the general belief expressed here to-day. The Petit Parisien says it undersiands the Allied Prémiers will soon meet in Versailles to consider the peace problems. It is said there is a strong probability that the peace conference will be held there. Before the peace conference is held it will be necessary for the Inter- Allied conference to organize, stabilize and confederate the new democ- racies arising from the wreck of Hohenzollern-Hapsburg feudalism. Although none of the Allied conferees can be quoted, privately they laud President Wilson's political offensive, characterising it as comparabie to Foch’s military successes. The impression is widespread that Wilson will play the most important role in the democratization of the European nations whose aspirations he has gudfathered. LONDON, Nov. 12.—Allied Armies on the Franco-Belgian froni have halted their advance to-day, woile the plenipotentiaries of the Asso- ciated Governments and the German Govenment work out in detail the . plans whereby 5,000 German guns, 2,000 airplanes, 30,000 machine gun and 3,000 mine-throwers are to be surrendered to Marshal Foch, render- ing Germany powerless again to fight. The plenipotentiaries, too, must arrange the details for the evacua tion of all Allied territories by German armies, and until this is done the Allied Armies will not advance into Germany, where they are to occupy strategic points until peace is declared, The evacuation of France and Beigium already is under way, for all German soldiers ee there after fourteen days are to become pris- Oners of war. _ GERMANY THE THE CHIEF CRIMINAL AT BAR OF PEACE CONFERENCE; MUST MEET ALLIED TERMS WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—With the military struggle of the Central Pow- ers shattered, the associated govern- into an Empire is impossible to fore cast. There has a ‘8 been great alousy between Prussia and south- ern German states such as Saxony and Bavaria, Each state has a strong individuality, and this may prevent a unified Empire such as, until recent- ly, menaced the world. Indications that the terms have aroused « new spirit of fight in some quarters in Germany wag indicated to-day by reported orders to the Ger- man fleet from the “command and | soldiers’ council” to resist the carry- ing out of the armistice terms, While any opposition by the Ger- man fleet would be disposed of promptly by the United States and Allied forces, President Wilson ‘is vitally concerned now in checking ; immediately the Bolshevist movement, It was indicated to-day that plans for a peace conference will go ahead. , It probably will be held in. ong of the next two or three months wilt M-| 144 peiigerent countriea—most likely termine to « large extent the terms of “ ‘ France, The reason for this ts that the peace treaty.
