in a Critical Position


PARIS. Tuesday, Nov. IA dec

ment early this week by the German
plenipotentiaries who went to Mar
shall Foch's headquarters to sign the
armistice between the allies ana
Germany has been published here. IL
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 nat
urally make every effort to aid In
carrying out the objections imposed
upon 1t. It's plenipotentiaries recog-
nize that at certain points concilia-
tory spirit has been shown toward
their suggestions. They can, conse-
quently, consider the observations
which they submitted on November Q
referring to conditions of the armis-
tice and the reply they received on
November 10 as forming an integral
part. of the complete convention.
They cannot. however, permit any
doubt to exist on the fact that the
shortness of delay fixed for evacua-
ton and the handing over of indis-
pensible means of transport threat
ems to provoke state of affairs
which, without the German govern
tASiAb anu PCOPiO OCAhe t@0S
render the execution of the conditions
of the armistice impossible. The
plenipotentiaries further consider 1t
their duty. referring to their reiterat-
ed verbal and written declarations, to
state once more with the utmost en-
ergy that the execution of this con-
vention must throw the German
people in anarchy and famine.
After the pubic 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 suffer-
ing of non-combatant women and
children. The German people which
for fifty months have held out against
a world of enemies will maintain its
liberty and unity despite every vio-
lence."

Three-Day Horse
Show at Newport
Special Correspondence of The Tribune,

Especial Correspondence Of The Tribu'te>
1EWPORT, R. l., Aug. 1S.-While
~ the Newport Horse Show is COM
ing along the last three days
of the month. with every promise that
it will be we'll up to the usual stand
ard. still there are number of voids
in the outdoor programme in Newport
this summer.
Chief among them is the tennis tour
nament at the Casino. 1t was just
about this time of the month in years
gone by that everybody in the summer
colony was getting ready for the ma
tiona singles or the invitation tourna-
ment after the singles event was taken
away from the Casino courts and trans
ferred to Forest Hills.
This year there is not to be even an
invitation tourney, and the only use
that the famous grass courts in the
Casino grounds are being put to is for
informal playing by members of the
summer colony each morning
There is to be no dog show this year
and neither are there to be, as far as
has been heard. any polo matches at
the Westchester polo field. The field
however. and its clubhouse are beine
put to good use, the house being usod
as tearoom for the benefit OF Newport
