GERMAN PARTICIPANT
 DESCRIBES SIGNING
 TERMS OF ARMISTICE
Nothing to Negotiate-We Pointed Out lmpossibil- ity of Certain Condi-
 tions.

Amsterdam, Nov 2S.-The armis- tice conferences between the German delegates and Marshal Foch and his associates early this month, were car rled out in the most Dusiness-like manner possible, and apparently with out notable incidents, according to q long account of the conference given the Berlin VOSSiSche Zeitung by member of the Germany party.
 After the French met the German commissioners they were driven for ten hours in automobiles to an ap- pointed rendezvous. Tt seemed to me-, says the narrator, that the drive was Intentionally prolonged in order to darry us through the devast- ated provinces and prepare us for the hardest conditions which hatred and revenge might demand. One of the Frenchmen pointed to a heap of ruins, saying behold St. Quentin"
 We entered a train with blinds drawn in the evening ahu awoke in the morning in the midst of the for est of Compiegne, surrounded by sol diers.
 There were two trains, one occu- pied by Marshal Foch and his staff oAu IAS OlACl Uy CAC 1Cl LuIllO. III these we lived, worked and negotiated for three days. We had every ything in abundance. There was nothing to find fault with. The great enmity and hatred that apparently prevailed against us were shown, however, i'll the negotiations and in the terms inl- posed.'
 The narrator remarks that the French officers and Vice Admiral Weymss, British representative. nain- tained a cold attitude, never temper ed by friendly word"
 Marshal Foch, whom we only saw twice, at the beginning and at the end of the conference, is a stern, plain man. He did not speak a single word to us in the tone which formally distinguished the chivalrous French nation + + +.
 Tt is not true that Foch told us there could not be any question of negotiations, only the imposition of conditions, and whatever coldness he displayed was never ill-mannered or rough. + * +
 Really there was nothing to nego- tiate We pointed out the technical impossibility of some conditions + + + Finally, we were obliged to sign.''

WILL FIGHT TO THE END
Roumania To Remain Faithful
To Allies Despite Russia.
Member Of King Ferdinand's Cabinet
Asserts Country Will Keep
Its Word.

Jassy, Roumania Jan. 25.-Tbe
present position of Roumania and
what that country would expect as a
condition of peace were discussed
with the Associated Press by Take Jo-
nescu, one OF the leading statesmen Of
Roumania, and vice president of the
council OF ministers, whose resigna-
ton from the cabinet King Ferdinand
recently declined to accept.
As to the future course of Rou-
mania, M. Jonescu declared the Rou-
manian people would remain faithful
to the Allies until the end, whatever
that end might be-" The vice presi-
dent of the council said that Rouma-
MID, like the United States, has
drawn it's sword in defense of free
dom and justice and that the nation
would never rest until those princi'
pies had been achieved.
Roumania to, Fight Until End.
s'The problems and sufferings OF
Eoumania are little known in Ameri-
ca. We have been rather silent about
them, as there are many things about
which we could not talk. For exam
pie, the consequences to the Allies of
the failure of Russia have been enor-
nous, but to Roumania the results OF
that failure have been almost tragical.
Yet, we have borne the burden in 81
lence, in spite of all our misfortunes,
however, I am convinced that my
country will continue to fight until
the end We can follow only one
course and that is the path of honor.
We are under a pledge to remain
loyal to the Allies until the end"

Vigorous Offensive On Western

BLISS BACK IN FRANCE
Chief of Staff to Represent y. S. On
War CounciI--Carries Rec

Washington, Jan, 26.-The United
States will be represented on tie
supreme war council by General Tas-
ker H. Bliss.
Secretary Baker in 80 announcing,
disclosed that the general is accompa-
MED by high officers of every branch
OF the service to advise about any
questions that may arise.
While Secretary Bakers statement
merely said that General Bliss had ar
rived in France to represent the army
on the council, there have been init
nations that renewed recommends
tons for vigorous offensive operations
on the widest possible scale were in
Guided in the instructions the general
received before sailing.
Will Plan to Meet Drive.
Probably the primary consideration
before the council when it recon
venes will be the widely advertised
proposed German offensive on the
Western front A mass of informa-
ton has reached the Allied powers
from many quarters indicating an inn
pendind drive against the British or
French lines, or both, which will be
carefully reviewed. Ways and means
to meet such a concentration of Ger
man and Austrian forces as is indi-
Gated, undoubtedly have been consid'
cred.
The possibility is suggested here
that tie Allies may anticipate the
German attack with great drive as
the British once did in Flanders.
Pershng Cannot Spare Time.
General Bliss attended the first
meeting of the council and decision
to send him back to Europe as a per-
manent representative in that body
was made because it was recognized
that General Pershing's duties in
organizing and commanding tie ever
increasing American expeditionary
forces were too great to permit him
to undertake the presentation OF
American views on military opera
tons and to sit with the council
in framing plans of strategy that
cover all fronts and all armies.
No word of the departure of Gen
eral Bliss had been published until
the news of his safe arrival came. :.

On Question of Personal Privilege.
Six thousand persons clamored for

has there been such excitement at the
capitol as developed.
Senator Chamberlain took the floor
on question of personal privilege.

repeated threats of administration
leaders to prevent his speech
Senator Chamberlain repeated the
statement which drew the Presidents
fire, and declared the President him
self does not know the truth.
Blame for Deaths in Camps.
Senator Chamberlain said le would
show that the deaths of the hundreds
and thousands of men at environments
and camps were due to the War de-
partment and that all epidemics
could have been prevented if the War
department lad been effective"
In beginning his address Senator
Chamberlain said the President had
attacked both his veracity and integ-
rity, heretofore unchallenged but that
in replying he did so without any per-
sonal feeling against the President.

the Germans toward the capture of
