QUICK ACTION LIKELY.


Now that the Berlin delegation
ito conclude an armistice' with
Marshal Foch was admitted to the
presence of the Great Captain at
day break today, it is likely that
we shall hear vastly important
tidings within a short time. The
mird of the public is very defn-
itely made up as to what action
the delegation will take when
the Generalissimo has stated
his views upon a cessation of
hOstilities. The people are in pos
session of a clear notion of what
will be demanded and they are
willing to whisper their belief as
to the outcome in quiet corners,
although they are a trifle too con-
seratl ye to be shouting til cir
opinions from the hOusetops
just yet. Washington is inclined
to question the authority with
which the German delegation is
clothed. This is merely an aca-
demic point, however, as we
see it, since Marshal Foch's
terms will call for definite per-
Torrance; and if the German
armies perform according to the
demand of the Generalissimo.
then there is nothing more to
be asked: and no man will care
upon whose authority the per
Torrance is completed, or wheth-
eli the German armies have any
authority for surrendering their
arms. munitions, transportation
facilities; and marching back TO
their frontier virtually naked.
Washington goes on to remark
that Marshal Foch has terms
that may seem harsh TO the Ger
man, but which will admit of no
argument. They must be accepted
or rejected; and meanwhile it is
taken for granted that the Field
Marshal will maintain his pres
sure upon the beaten foe. 1t IS
most unlikely that any other
thought is in bis mind. In fact,
the procedure appears so obvious
that it Is hardly worthy of men,
ton. We hive seen with what
force Gen. Diaz kept after his
adversaries even after the armis-
tie has been agreed upon be.
tween Austria and Italy. There
is no question that while the
ar nistice is still under considera
ton between Marshal Foch and
the German military command,
the Hun will receive daily new
object lessons in the beauty and
de STABILITY of peace.
1t is natural. moreover, that
Marshal Fodh should demand a
quick acceptance or rejection of
his armIstice terms. Since there
is no ground for argument over
the matter, the Geueralissimo has
every reason to be unwilling to
have the minds of his men dis
turbed by the thought that talk
is going on behind them. Be
sides, the situation is too clean-cut
to admit of what is known as
parley. The terms are ready;
and in fact, it is almost unani-
mously believed that the Ger mans
aae equally ready. A reply
doubtless will be forthcoming
very shortly. Louisville Times,
