No Change of Heart.

There is little to indicate repentance
for his sins in the decree Of the kai-
ser signing the reichstag enactment
amending the German constitution. It
is true that he says: "After the
achievements Of those times" (of war)
"the German people can claim that
no right which may guarantee . free
and happy future shall be withheld
from them." This is but the accept
ance Of the inevitable change from
absolutism to popular voice in the ad-
ministration of German affairs. But
the kaiser says:
"Thus comes to a close q period
which Will stand in honor before the
eyes Of future generations. Despite all
struggles between invested authority
and aspiring forces it has rendered
possible to our people that tremendous
development which imperishably re-
vealed itself in the wonderful achieve
ments Of this war;
The imperishable achievements of
Germany during the four years Of
war stand - the blackest chapter in
history, the foulest crime ever COM
mitted BY . state. And Il was to that
end, to the point Of the commission Of
that crime, that the ~period which will
stand in honor before the eyes Of
future generations" developed
All the cultural requirements Of the
German people, all the material prog
ress during many years are negstived
and cancelled by this war. And yet
the kaiser points to the development

Evacuation and Naval Surrender.

Under the allied terms Of armistice
granted Austria the enemy troops are
to evacuate all the Austrian seacoast
and virtually all of the area known as
the "irridenta" claimed by Italy. This
establishes q provisional frontier for
military security and clears for future
diplomatic discussion the area Of dis.
pute. IF similar terms are imposed
upon Germany the kaiser's armies wv
have to move back to and in sor1o
placs< beyond the Rhine. Clearance Of
AlsacN and Lorraine and, Of course,
Belgium and Luxemburg is to be re-
garded as one Of the 6rst essentials.
leaving, as in the case Of Austria, 3
provisional frontier beyond the zono of
disputed territory, with that territory
in allied possession.
In another respect the Austrian
terms suggest that most cripplng
condition win be imposed aron Ger
many in respect to her navy. Austria
is to surrender to the allies and to the
United States fifteen submarines Of re-
cent construction-beside all the Ger.
man submarines now or hereafter in
Austrian waters-as we'll as three Lat
tleships, three light cruisers, nine do
stroyers, twelve torpedo boat:, one
mine layer and six Dan1bs monitors.
In addition to this surrender OF u large
part of the Austrian naval estab-
lishment all other ships Of war Of every
description are to be completely dis
armed and to remain under the super
vision Of the allies and the United
States.
If this condition is also cxactal from
Germany the naval force of the enemy
will virtually cease to exist. The alb
SC lutte surrender " fxel proportion
de the German navy to the allies will
at one stroke, regardless Of 'Le u.:t
mste disposition Of the remainder, rem
d r Germany impotent as sea power.
TIE "surrend.r Of these ships can be
understood OILY as meaning a per-
manent TRANSFER Of them to this allies
and to the United States, for such di-
vision or disposition as may be deter
mined later.
The crux Of the armistice tender to
Germany, therefore, if the Austrian
terms are to serve as index, viii lie
in the establishment Of a provisional
frontier well within the German terri
tory and the surrender and disman-
Ting Of the German navy. II Ger

Kate Hinton Finds
Competent Servants
for Washingtono
Housewives

Washington housewives are
having such a struggle with
incompetent help demanding
wages that should only be paid
for competent servants that
I just wondered if there was
anything that 1 could do to help
solve the problem, and the first
thing l knew | found a whole
family of competent servants
guaranteed to give the most
efficient service for a most rea-
sonable compensation.
OF course, / mean the electric
servants that you will find up on
the Fifth floor and there are so
many of them that they will not
only do much to lessen the
labors of any housewife, but
they will bring so much Joy and
cheer into the house that their
value cannot be estimated en-
tirely in dollars and cents.
Beginning early in the morn
ing, the coffee percolator and
toaster and grill can come right
to the breakfast table and help
get things ready in a jiffy.s
perhaps you have not seen the
toasters that have convenient
racks on top to hold the broadly
At luncheon these three cleo
trio servants will take but little
time to cook the most appe-
tizing meal, and it can be quite
substantial meal, too, as the
stove will do all kinds of cook
ing (even to your Thanksgiving
turkey. if necessary.
And at supper time they will
help the chahng dish cook good
things that would tempt the
most grouchy dyspeptic.
1t is so much fun to cook right
on the table where you can
watch the process, and as every
one can hand the meals
are sure to dispel all dullness.
Even the busiest busy-man can
make toast on an electric toast
er.
These electric servants are ex-
tremely neat and careful of
their appearance, and with but
the least bit of help from YOU
they are always ready for COM
pany.
Meal time is not the only
time that they are useful. An
electric iron will materially
lessen the labor on wash day,
and besides it is always ready
to press out a fresh collar or
handkerchief and keep shin
ingly pleasant about it.
Electric curriers' will help you
to get ready in Gust a minute"
for you will not have to wait
and wait for them to heat
again.
For these chilly days and for
the many days throughout the
winter when your room or
apartment may not be as warm
as you would like it, an electric
heater will soon make things
warm and comfortable.
An electric warming pad will
keep you comfortable even the
coldest night that comes this
winter. If YOU sleep outdoors
and want the chill taken off
your bed before you get into
it, warming pad will assure
your comfort. For invalids
who need hot applications on
any part of the body these pads
are indispensable.
Baby's milk can be kept
warm or readily heated right at
your bedside if you have the
heater that comes for this spe-
cial purpose.
And. as 1 said before, these
electric servans are clean,
comely and economical-what
more can you ask-whether you
are seeking a gift for a friend
or for your own household.
But there are about hundred
thousand more people shopping
this year in Washington than
shopped here last year and re-
plenishing stocks is sometimes
difficult or impossible. Please
take that as hint from

The ArmiStice Terms.

!, The ArmiStice Terms.
Announcement by the State Depart
mant that the terms of armistiee to be
submitted to Germany had been unani-
mously and harmoniousiy agreed upon
BY the allied representatives. at Yer
siIles somewhat surprised the public
last night, inasmuch as it had been sup
posed that such an agreement had al
ready been effected and that the terms
had actually been submitted. How
ever, It Is evident from the time that
has elapsed since the allied confer
snee at Versailles began its delibera-
tons upon the armistice terms that
thef have been prepared with the ut
most care. as BELTS the Importance Of
tie enact stipulations.
. y II to the last degree gratifying
That the armistice terms were agreed
upon at Versailles unanimously and
that "diplomatic unity has been COM
pletely achieved under conditions of
utmost harmony" This unanimity is
Of the essence Of victory. # Ger
many has had hopes Of division among
the allies, they are shattered. There
is but single purpose on the part of
oil the members of the great alliance
now in session through representatives
ct Versailles, and that is to render it
impossible for Germany to renew hos
tilities, if she now accepts armistice
terms and eventually to render her in
capable of precipitating another catas-
trophe upon the world.
Though not definitely stated, it is to
be believed that the armistice terms
have gone to Germany. There is NO
occasion for delay. There is, on the
contrary, reason for promptness Of ac-
tion and decision. At this hour men
are fighting and dying and falling
wounded. The war in all its horrors,
on the western front, continues. As
speedily, therefore, as is consistent
with assurance against misunderstand-
ing, these terms will doubtless be laid
before Germany, if they have, in fact,
not already been so submitted.
Germany win gain nothing by delay
in her decision. The allies are show
ing no signs Of remission in their war
efforts. They are continuing to pound
the German lines and are making
heavy inroads upon the enemy's
strength and gains toward vitality i'm
portant positions. As in the cases of
Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria, the al
lies will fight to the last minute of
the period elapsing before the truce
begins, and every hour the enemy de-
lays means additional losses to him
and less favorable situation in the
event he elects to reject the terms and
to fight to final military conclusion.
If these terms agreed upon unani-
mously at Versailles, follow the lines
Of those granted to Austria-which
were similar to those granted Bull
garia and Turkey-they will, if ac-
cepted, definitely put an end to Ger
many's war-making power. Accept
ance of them wHl mean unconditional
surrender. The allies will, in that
event, be completely masters Of the
field. They will have rendered Ger
many incapable of a single offensive
blow, On land or sea, and viii make
the resumption Of defensive opera
tions hopeless of even the briefest sue

Judge Scott
Passes Away
At Danbury
Native of Bridgeport, Long
Ill, Dies At Age of 81
Years.

Danbury, Feb. 7.-Howard B. Scott,
former judge of the Common Pleas
Court, died here today. He was Ct
years old and had been in failing
health for two years. He retired
from the bench several months ago
after he had been stricken with par
alysis.
Much sorrow was expressed among
the members of the legal profession
at the county court house today at
the news of the death of Judge Scott.
Judge Scott retired last September,
having been named a state referee.
Judge Scott was born in Bridgeport,
August 25, 1851, but lived in Ridge
field for a number of years. He was
graduated from Amherst College in
1874, and took up the study of law in
the offices of Brewster & Tweeedy in
Danbury, being admitted to the bar in
1878. For a period of u years pre-
vious to 1907 he was judge of the City
Court of Danbury. He never mar
ried.
In 1907, at the promotion of Judge
Howard J. Curtis to the Superior Court
bench Judge Scott was named as
judge of the Common Pleas Court,
civil side, and retained that position
until last year, when failing health
| compelled him to relinquish his du-
ties. At the last session of the Gen
eral Assembly the civil and criminal
Common Pleas Courts were combined,
Judge John R. Booth and Judge John
! ]. Walsh being named as Judges, and
