HEAVY PAYMENTS FOR WANTON
 DESTRUCTION WROUGHT BY HUNS

Washington, Nov. 6.---Germany can have peace on the terms and principles enunciated by President Wilson, but it must pay an enormous indemnity for the wanton destructionr wrought by it's forces on land, on sea and in the air.
 The German government is so in formed in a note from Secretary Lan- sing now on it's way.
 Secretary Lansing's note quotes a memorandum by the allied govern ments on the Presidents correspond ence- with the German authorities in which those governments declare their willingness to make peace with the government of Germany in ac- cord with the Presidents program subject to these qualifications. Complete freedom of action in the peace conference on the question of freedom of the seas.
 'The specific understanding that by rest9ratbon of invaded territories is meant that compensation will be made l by Germany for all damages done to the civilian populations of the allies and their property by the aggression of Germany by land, by sea and
 from the air"
 The President, Germany is in- | formed, concurs in this last stfpula-
 ton which means payment by Ger

 sides laid waste or damaged; for ships sunk by subs and raiders and of in
 demnities to the families and depend-
 ents of civilians killed or carried off in
 Violation of the recognized rules of
 warfare.
 Terms of the armistice may not be
 made public until their acceptance or rejection by Germany but it can be stated that they are no less drastic
 than those imposed upon Austria which have been interpreted by mil
 itary men here both Allied and Amer
 1can as nothing short of abject sur render
 Germany's spokeSmen already have acquiesced in the terms and princi- pies as laid down by President Wal son. By accepting the armistice they agree in advance to the qualifications
 made by the Allies and consequently | much of the real work of the peace conference will have been completed ! in advance. There will remain the i program and decision as to the free i dom of the seas, but the terms of the l armistice will leave no room for doubt | of the ability of the Allied and Amer l ican governments to impose their 1 terms. While awaiting the approach i of the German emissaries Marshal ! Foch has kept very quiet.

GERMAN CENSOR
 BAN IS RELAXED BY NEW DEGREE
Supreme Army Command Orders Greater Freedom
 of Speech and Press.

Amsterdam, Nov. 6-The Supreme Army Command in an order issued to all deputy commanding generals, gov- ernments and commandants, says:
 ''The fundamental idea of our po- Etical life is to give the German peo- pie an extensive right to express their opinions in speech and writing, and they shall, unhampered, express their desires and complaints. Restrictions shall be made without regard to par ties. according to the following rules:
 All meetings shall be permitted unless the objects of such meetings offend the penal code or are contrary to the interests of warfare, the con clusion of peace or the maintenance of public order.
 ''The same restrictions apply to the censorship of newspapers and other printed matter. A preventive cen sorship of all news and articles of a military nature remain in force. A preventive censorship can in the fu- ture be placed on newspapers only with the assent of the Supreme Mili tary Commander"
 Prince Maximilian of Baden, Ger man Chancellor, discussing German reforms in an interview is quoted by the Vosische zeitung of Berlin as saying:
 God be praised for a real peaceful revolution. The old regime is gone for good. I am firmly convinced that a new German democracy soon will be living at peace with our present opponents, in order to be able to com- plete the task of remodelling Ger many"
 The Chancellor declared also that if in the future the Reichstag should pass a vote of want of confidence in him he would be obliged to resign.
 With reforms in the Federal States, he said, it was unthinkable that the Federal Council should ever receive instructions which would bring it into conflict with decisions by the Reich Istag.

use of coal has been most grati-

the use of coal has been most grati- flying and has made possible the large savings" the conservation divisions announcement continued. Tt is also a matter of much qualification to find so many plants in such an excellent condition as to receive very high rating.
 Bridgeport Plants Rank High.
 To date, twenty-one of Connecti- cuts industrial plants have received @ rating of over go per cent. on a basis of 100 per cent. for a perfect plant. These plants include:
 Bridgeport Brass Co.,, (main plant) Bridgeport, 93 per cent; Remington Arms, U. M. c. Co.,, Bridgeport, 98 per cent; B. A. Mallory & Son, Dan- bury, 92 per cent; Yale & Towne Manufacturing Co.,, Stamford, 29 pel cent; International Textile, Inc. Bridgeport, 91 per cent.
 There are also large number o1 plants whose ratings are between SC and go per cent, and with the install latiOn of contemplated economies many of these will soon be able to at tain a much higher per centage, said the divisions announcement 'Re-inspection will be made alG plants re-rated as soon as substantial improvements are introduced"
 Division officials said it was tot soon to form any idea as to how eff fective their efforts to save coal 1T homes this winter would be-. Thi situation regarding hard coal was no satisfactory it was added.
 Home Consumers Warned.
 ''It was so with soft coal few months ago." said an official. "Tht soft coal situation, however, has beer changed by the care of manufactur | CTS and their study of their problem Whether the hard coal situation vii improve corresponding is a matte for hOme-keepers to decide. Tht problem is to them much more diff i ticult. The individual cannot b | reached personally. His method cannot be inspected and personal in | structions cannot be given him. Tn, | matter is up to him. Two-thirds O less of his normal supply of coal il | the cellar is the spur. Our bulletin No. will help him, and 125, 900 o | these have already been distributed If the home-keepers will do as wei as the manufacturer has done, Con necticut should avoid trouble"

COAL SITUATION IN THIS STATE IS NOT SERIOUS OWING TO EFFORTS OF
 MANUFACTURERS AND CONSUMERS
Soft Coal Will Be Plentifully Supplied, But Hard Coal May Be Harder to Get Unless Consumers Comply With Regulations of Fuel Commits sion.

Hartford, Nov. 6-According to an announcement made today by the con- servation division of the Federal Fuel Administration for Connecticut, the soft coal situation in this state may confidently be rated as easy, but anx- fety is felt as to hard coal. It was said that the excellent soft coal situa- ton was due partly to an increase of about 14 per cent. in production and partly to economies effected through ~he work of the administrative en- g1neers of the conservation division.
 The conservation division has, up to November 2, analysed question naires froN 945 of the states power and large heating plants. These missionaries which were sent to practically all steam producers of thr state, have also been rated. Three hundred and fifteen of these plants which used last year a total of l 1,629 454 net tons of coal, have, by follow ing the recommendation of the Fuel Administration, increased their eff ciency to an extent that will effect ar annual saving of about 244,OOO tons AiO Pl'1llS II OIll WHICH Qu6SllOuIldlItS have been rated represent less than two-thirds of the total for the state. Since Connecticut's quota of coal to be saved is 85O,OOO tons, the indicated total saving will be well above the quota.
 Connecticut Saves Coal
 Tt is apparent that this saving, ac- complished by improvements, care and common sense, and without in any way curtailing production, rep resents an ample margin between want and plenty" said the conserva- tion divisions announcement. Con necticut may rightfuIly claim a share in this splendid work, since the en- gineer members of this division had no small part in initiating and formu- lating the national policy"
 The inspection plan, it was said, is now in operation in twenty-six states Connecticut was the first state t. adopt it. A representative of the Federal Fuel Administration, when the offices of the Connecticut Admin. istration recently, said that this states administrative engineers were well in the lead in work done anG results accomplished.
 'The cheerful cooperation of 2 very large part of the users of coa in following the plan of the Fue Administration leading to economy i-

BERLIN GOVERNMENT MAKES APPEAL FOR ENTIRE CONF IDENCE OF PEOPLE E

Amsterdam, Tuesday, Nov. 5-(By Associated -Press)-Ln appealing to the German people for support, the Berlin government declares it must have the confdnece of the people and the Reichstag, says a German news paper this morning. It says:
 :'The burden of the present time is weighing heavily on the world and the German nation, We must over come the hard days and their conse- quences.
 ''The military administration had been placed under the responsibility of the imperial chancellor, a far reach ing amnesty has been granted and freedom of the press and right of assembly have been guaranteed. There still remains, however, much to do.
 "The transformation of Germany into a peoples state second to no other country in respect to it's free dom and care for the welfare of the masses will be continued. The reor- ganization can only exercise it's bene- fcial effects if it encounters among administrative and military authori- ties a spirit which recognized and promotes it's aims. Self-discipline and order are needed. All lack of disci- pline will most seriously endanger the | condition of peace"
 '"The troops who for weeks have been engaged in severe fighting must l be relieved and rested. It is for this reason and no other that more men recently have been called up.
