Will Try to Comply But May
 Find It Impossible TIME IS TOO SHORT
E,nvoys Protest That Execution of Terms Will Throw Helpless Coun- Panic.

Paris, Tuesday,. Nov. 12.-A dec- ment early this week by the German plenipotentiaries who went to Mar shal F'ochs headquarters to sign the armistice between the allies and Ger protests against some features of the terms agreed to by the Germans and to which they objected verbally at their first meeting with Marshal Foch. The declaration reads:
 The German government will naturally make every effort to aid in the carrying out of the obligations imposed upon it. It's plenipotentiar- ies recognize that on certain points a conciliatory spirit has bene shown to- ward their suggestions. They can, consequently, consider the Observa- tions which they submitted on Nov. 9, referring to conditions of the armistice, and the reply they received on November 10 forming an in tegral part of the complete conven- tion.
 Fear Anarchy and Famine.
 They cannot, however, permit any doubt to exist on the fact that the shortness of the delay fixed for evac- uation and the handing over of in- dispensable means of transport threatens to provoke a state of affairs which, without the German govern ment and people being at fault, may render the execution of the condi- tions of tn arnistice impossible The plenipotentaries further consider it their duty, referring to their reiter- ated verbal and written declara tions, to state once more with the utmost energy that the execution of this convention must throw the German people into anarchy and famine.
 After the public manifestations which preceded the laying down of the armistice, conditions might have been expected which, while giving our adversaries full military security would have put an end to the suf- feringS of non-cOmbatant women and children. The German people, which for 50 months has held out against a world of enemies, will maintain it's liberty and unity despite every violence"

 Many months must pass before final peace is concluded and in the meantime the food administration will be closing up it's task, taking the steps necessary to cooperate in the solution of food problems abroad and giving attention to reconstruction. Some legislation may be necessary, MT. Hoover told the senators, in con- nection with world provisioning.
 With the declaration of peace and . the expiration of the food control law, he said. obligations of the gov ernment then in existence, including particularly the guarantee for mini mum prices for 1919 wheat, still will be binding and will be fulfilled. He explained that all contracts made by the government under the law neces- sarily would be binding after the ad- ministration ceased to exist.
 For a considerable time, he said it will be necessary to supply large ' quantities of food to the Belgians, Serbians. Jugo-Slavs, Armenians and many other peoples, as we'll as to the late enemy countries.
 Back By Christmas.
 Mir. Hoover plans to return to Am erica by Christmas. He said he would study especially problems of German provisioning, the important question for decision being whether this shall be done on a cash or credit basis.
 The senators were told that an in crease in the sugar supply in this country was 10 be expected, depend- ent on the size of the new crop.
 Several senators said extension of the food control law is a question for congress in view of possible rapid in crease in prices at the expiration of the law.

Action at Washington.
A dispatch from Washington, dated
Tuesday, says;
Representatives of SOC. 700 railway
shopmen today asked the railroad ad-
ministration not to put into effect the
new wage scale without upward re-
vision for their crafts, saying great
dissatisfaction would be created, and
intimating that it might be impossi-
bic to avoid many strikes.
Appearing before the board of rail-
road wages and working conditions
at its first hearing. spokesman for the
six shop trades declared they had
found it difficult to work out wage
scale ON the basis of the director gem
erals order and that extreme disap-
pointment existed among all men who
had read it. They urged speedy ac-
ton TO revise the scale in order to
