JOINT COUNCIL,
AGREES ON TERMS

VERSAILLES, Oct. sO.-It was an
ticipated today that the armistice
terms to Germany will be similar to
those offered Bulgaria, although ex-
ira precautions will be necessary and
there may be some harsher clauses.
The interaIIied conference is under
stood to have already agreed on the
main political points OF the armistice.
The terms must be severe, it was
agreed in authoritative circles, be-
cause Germany began the war, the
renewal OF which must be impossible.
Col E. NJ. House, representing the
United States. has called on President
Poincare and conferred with other
French leaders. He also has received
Greek Premier VeniZelos and the
Greek minister to France.

MRS. MORAN WILL
SEE BODY TODAY

A casket said to contain the body
OF Charles Noble will be opened this
afternoon at Rock Creek Cemetery,
and Mrs. John J. Moran, mother of the
dead man, will attempt to identify the
body.
Should her Identification be com
plete, the body will be buried in q
grave prepared several weeks ago,
and the final chapter will be written
in one of the most mysterious cases
that has confronted the Police De-
partment in recent years.
The body arrived here late yester-
day afternoon, and arrangements i'm
mediately were made for the funeral
service today.
Noble died on October IL, and his
body was Identified the following day
by his sister-in-law, Miss Katie Wild
mayer, and B. A. OLeary, business
manager Of the electricians union,
of which Noble was a member. Ar
rangements were made to have the
body shipped to this city for burial.
1t was then discovered the body
was missing.

ALLIED COUNCIL TO
STICK TO l4PONTS

The versaiIies conference will
agree to adhere to President Wilson's
fourteen basic peace points
This was stated in authoritative
American official and entente diplo-
matte quarters today. As q eoroIlary
to this basic acceptance, the question
of an armistice has been given over
to the military advisers. These
armistice terms are expected during
the forthcoming week.
Any differences as to application
of the Presidents fourteen points will
be threshed out in the final peace ad-
justment, 1t was said.
1t was emphasized that the Yer
sailles conference will close with =
completely united diplomatic front.
1t was said there will be prompt
conclusion of the important negotia-
tions at Versailles. as the conferees
there are now evidently in full ac-
cord on the general underlying prin-
ciples of peace and armistice terms
The armistice terms probably already
have been submitted formally to the
military advisers for final formula
tion.
Their slate was practically written
in advance, and the terms thereof are
as outlined before. However, one
point still remains obscure here,
namely. the extent to which the naval
demands will go.
The original ticket was that Ger
many would have to give up her sub
marine feet and permit occupation OF
her grand fleet pending the outcome
OF the hnal peace negotiations. British
pressure may have altered that, for
press dispatches from abroad now
suggest that surrender OF not only
the U-boats but the grand fleet will
be required.

LONDON EXPECTS
BERLIN TO ACCEPT

LONDON, Oct 3o.-The terms upon
which Germany can have an armistice
and also peace probably will be made
known very soon. The terms have

and peace terms. It Is known that
Germany really has been trying to
stop the operations OF her U-boats.
Austria Is expected to accept quick

Both Pratt and Poncin
are rated able to buy
$4,000 to $4,000 bonds
each.
Pratt bought only ST.

OF the executive COM

them waiting in the ante

discourteously and indif-

would buy $4,000 of
bonds. and that was the
best he could do, and
after repeated calls fin
ally said he would pur-

this basis Seattle will
