TERMS COST B0CHE HIGH
Amended Clauses Made Effective BY
Marshal Foch Will Give the Al
lies All U-Boats.

WaShington-Germany loses her en-
tire fleet of submarines under the arm
istice terms as amended by Marshal
Foch before he signed them with the
German ENJOYS. Instead of loo yes
sells, every one of the undersea pirate
craft must be surrendered to the allies
and the United States within Il days.
Eighteen of the articles as originally
prepared by the supreme war council,
and as read by President Wilson TO
congress, were changed under the linn
tied authority for alteration given the
supreme commander in dealing with
the enemy ENJOYS. The state depart
ment received and made public the
amended articles, with the explanation
that no information had ONE as to
how The changes were brought about.
Apparently most of them were conced-
ed in response to appeals of the Ger
nan spokesman, though several besides
that touching submarines make the
terms more drastic than before.
Instead of $4,000 railroad ears to be
surrendered in evacuated territory, the
number is made 10000. On the other
hand, the number of machine guns TO
be delivered by the Germans is reduced
from 10000 20 $4,000: the German
troops in East Africa are permitted to
evacuate instead of being required to
surrender; provision is made for o n
s:dering food needs in Germany in the
taking of means of transportation; a
specific reference to and the regulation
of repatriation of German prisoners of
var at the conclusion of peace is added.

MAIL FOR SOLDIERS

If you really want to help the soldier
from home write him letters-not
grumpy, sob letters about your trials
with the latest cook, or the unpleasant
neighbors who moved in next door; but
funny. interesting letters with the
latest news from home that will keep
him from worrying and cheer him up
for days. This. in effect, is the advice
of the War Department.
A glance at the mail of any one Of
our large environments would indicate
that this advice is scarcely needed, for
approximately 10000 letters are sent
and received q day at each of the dlvi-
sion camp post offices. Besides this
heavy correspondence, from ten to fif-
teen tons of packages are handled in a
day in one of these camps. The total
for camp of about forty thousand men
is equal to the business of the post of
flee in Pittsburgh or Baltimore, cities
of nearly six hundred thousand popula-
ton.
In spite of this proof that our soldiers
are not being forgotten friends and
relatives are constantly being urged by
the Post Office and War Departments,
by officers and correspondents abroad
to keep in touch with the enlisted men,
especially when he leaves for France.
One of our generals at the front says,
Nothing keeps the boys in good spirits
like letters from home. If every boy
could get two letters week, the army
discipline question would be settled"
There is a report in circulation that
soldiers abroad can mail only one letter
a week. This statement is unfounded.
A soldier abroad can write home as
often as he wills. The Y. M. C. A.
