GERMANY's TERMS EXPLOIT.
A despatch from Versailles dated today re-
ports that the official MonSteur says:-
France must decide upon war or peace i'm
mediately. Delay deteriorates the strength of
Germany. France has long known the condi-
tons whereon Germany is ready to conclude
peace. These are based upon injuries for
merly inflicted, and guarantees for the future.
Compared with the injuries, the demands are
moderate; and the longer the delay the harder
will be the conditions. We hope this is under
stood at Bordeaux. If the German terms are
rejected the war continues"

latter consulted the Emperor several times.
the armistice has been extended till Sunday
evening.
