head, Il may be said that the presI-
dent and his closest advisers have
foreseen ever since Germany started
peace overtures that the end was
coming fast. Turkish and Austrian
disappearance from the war In exact
Iy the manner as now recorded, was
anticipated. It may be added that
the president acted with this prac-
tIcal certainty In mind and with the
prospect that Germany deserted
would have to yield to the allied
American terms Of surrender.
The reaction Of the nation to the
German proposals made the presl-
dents negotiations rather more cir.
cuitous than they might otherwise
have been.
But as authorities sense the sItua-
tIon, the world is now adjusting Itself
to the Idea of an early peace with
punishment for Germany, not prolon-
cation OF the struggle for revenge.
There Is, Of course, a possibility
that Germany will attempt desper-
ate eleventh hour renewal Of the war.
But Il 10 held hero that the German
people. expectant Of peace and do
serted by their allies, will see to It
that peace 10 obtained quickly. II 10
felt there can be no raliyIno Of Ger
many at this stage.
The naval section Of the armlstice
terms to be given Germany was In
possession Of this government today.
No announcement Of their contents
was made. but assurance was given
by high officials that every safeguard
had been taken In these terms and
that they would. meet the require
ments Of "every prudent man." so
that travel will be safe on all the
seas.
Whether occupation Of the German
fleet was made a temporary or per-
manent condition was not stated. But
It was suggested that question such
as final possession Of the submarine
or grand fleet would rest with the
peace conference.
Hiah authorities today explained
the retIcence about arnistice terms
by declaring that the allied govern
ments, equally Interested with the
United States ask complete secrecy
until the terms are finally deter
mined.

PROVISION ADOPTED FOR
 WORK MEMS COMPENSATION

Little Rock, Aug. l4-The consti- tutoinal convention adopted the fol- lowing provision for a workmen's compensation act:
 No act of the general assembly shall limit the amount to be recov- cred for injuries resulting in death or for injuries to persons or property. and in case of death from such injur- les to persons or property, and in case of death from such injuries the right of action shall survive and the gen era assembly shall prescribe for whose benefit such action shall be prosecuted. Provided, this section shall not prohibit the legislature from passing a workmen's compensation law"
 This was adopted after the follow ing proposal by the committee on labor had been voted down:
 "The amount to be recovered. or allowed. for injuries to employees may be limited by optional compen- sation laws, but if death results from such injuries. a right of action shall survive and may be prosecuted for the benefit of those designated by law. without regard to any compensation statute.'

This change was made with much less debate than any of the other changes that had been made. and is likely to stand. It was fol- lowed by an attempt on the part of Clay Sloan to re-district the state into 25 instead of 34 senatorial districts. but the amendment was ruled out of order.
