still Suffering for Food.
The Prussians commenced to provide
for the restoration OF railways and pro-
visioning the capital the moment the ar
mistice was concluded, but the rolling
stock was found IN a wrttched condition,
and inadequate to meet the demand made

Germans

LONDON, Feb. "a correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph at Versailles writes:
The flag of the German Empire was
hoisted over Fort Valerien at 4 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. The occupation
of all the forts around Paris
was effected very quietly by the
Germans who showed no undue exulta-
ton, no anger, nothing to hut the feel
ings of the French unnecessarily. st.

whole country between the hostile lines
is a horrible wilderness.
Harsh Terms of Peace.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-The London Times

of the Berlin telegram an

heard of in the history of modern war.
The Times, however, reiterates its be-
lief that the dispatch is well grounded,
and can only hope that this monstrOus
programme will prove not to represent the
settled purpose of the German govern
ment.
The independence Belgehas a telegram
from Bordeaux, stating that the London
Times report of the conditions of peace,
from Berlin, is untrue, and if correct, the
knowledge that such terms are proposed
will revive the influence of the extreme
war party, lately weakened by the flight
of Bourbaki's army into Switzerland.
If the war is prolonged it will be re-
lentless. The Germans talk of march
to the sea.
The lives of Englishmen are unsafe in
Paris, go great is the popular indignation
at highlands pusillanimous course.
