GERMAN PEOPLE WILL MAINTAIN
 THEIR LIBERTY Proclamation Sent By New Government to France

 by Armistice Terms.

Paris, Tuesday, Nov 12.--A declar- ation sent tD the French government early this week by the German plen- ipotentiaries who went to Marshal Foch's headquarters to sign the ar- mistice between the Allies and Ger many has been published here. It protests against some features of the terms agreed to by the Germans and to which they objected verbally at their first meeting with Marshal Foch. The declaration reads:
 "The German government will nat urally make every effort to aid in the carrying out of the obligations tm- posed upon it. Its plenipotentiaries recognize that on certain points a conciliatory spirit has been shown to- ward their suggestions. They can, consequently. consider the observa- ttons which they submittS~ on No vember g, referring to conditions of the arnlistice, and the reply they re- ceived on Nov. 10 as forming an in tegraI part of the complete conven- ton.

 PEACE CONDITION
B. D. Pierce, Head of Reg ional Board, Explains
 Situation Here.

No noticeable hardship will be felt in Bridgeport as the result of the let ting down of the government con- tracts is the opinion of Bradford D. Pierce lately returned from a meet ing of the advisors of the industrial divisions. which was held at Wash ington.
 The instructions we received" !" said MT. Pierce, "were to continue in exactly the same manner as be fore the signing of the armistiee. The ban has been lifted on many non-es- sentials. Some manufacturers are to be permitted to renew their output to the extent of 75 per cent. and, as at this time of year, they were not making more than that amount any way, this ruling may be said to have put them on a normal basis. This is especially true of such articles as baby carriages and corsets.
 Building operations may continue on practically before the war ba- sis. Plants that were begun and are not above $25,O00 in value, may be finished, and homes under $10,0O0 may be constructed. Permission for new building construction may be obtained from the Councils of De- fense. The gradual elimination of war contracts, and the resumption Of the manufacture of non-essentials will, I believe, be accomplished without any serious hardship to the working people"

Italian Headquarters, Tuesday, Nov. 12-tBy the Associated Press)-G. D. McLeed, of Montreal, an aviator, and c. Nj. Young, of Des Moines, la, who were taken prisoner by the Aus trians during the Italian campaign, have been released and have reached the Italian lines.
 Horrible food conditions prevail in Austria" said McLeed today, "and it is quite possible that a million per sons will die there this winter from lack of food, weakness and disease. This country is quiet now, but another Russia may grow out of the situation as soon as the troops re- turning from the front discover that the end of the war has not brought relief.
 "Scenes along the railways are like those on the battlefield. We saw bodies scattered here and there as a result of men crowding on the tops of trains and being swept off by tun- neis. There were also bodies of wounded men who have been taken from Red Cross cars and left to die"

 ARMISTICE STOPS
 RESTORING ORDER

Basel, Tuesday, Nov. 12-Deciaring the new democratic state of Bavaria is not responsible for the faults of the old regime in Germany, a mani festo has been sent from Munich to the new Federal government of Ger many, asking that complaint over the conditions of the armistice be sent to the Entent powers.

 A Basel despatch earlier in the week reported that the Bf7ariap gov ernment had sent a protest to Presi- dent Wilson complaining that the terms of the armistice were burden some to that part Of Germany and that the new government: was in no way to blame for the offenses of the milItarists who formerly ruled Ger many.

Warships which are held by the Boishevists in the Finnish gulf also must be put out oE commission.
 Without freedom of movement in the Black and Baltic seas, the En- tente powers and the United States will have great difficulty in affording access to Central Europe. Conse- quently, the attitude of the German navy toward the armIstice terms is watched with eagerness by Entente officials.
 The United States and the Entente powers have shown no disposition to deal with ths Bolshevist government While Russia remains in control of the Soviet, therefore, there seems to be little hope of feeding Moscow, Pet rograd and other large cities there.
 If the Russian Bolshevist move ment, which has been started against Finland, should be successful, Fin land also would be placed temporar- fly beyond relief.
