Italy Names Ancient
Boulevard After Wilson
fpv Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
LUCIA, Italy, Nov. 9.-An ancient
thoroughfare which for four hundred
years has encircled this city on top
of the Lucca wall has been officially
renamed as Boulevard Presidente
Wilson," in recognition of Am rican
aid extended to Italy in the war. The
boulevard is SO wide that twelve
horses can be driven abreast in It,.
The fortification beneath it was built
when Lucca was the capital of feud-
al duchy and has been famous relic
for centuries.
On the same day an American Red
Cross orphanage, also built on top OF
the great Lucca wall, was dedicated.
This curious site was selected for lack
of an available location in the town.
The building is cunning adaptation
of the Luccan style,-painted to con-
form with the wall and set with an
cient panels and Latin notices. The
orphanage was erected by the Amer
lean Red Cross in fifty days to house
a group of soldiers children orphaned
during the war.

CAP|TULATION
OF ENEMY sure
PARIS BELIEVES
Germans Have Had Enough to
Make Peace Imperative,
French Press Holds.
{By Associated Press)

PARIS, Nov. Germany will ca
pitulate between now and Monday.
French opinion, which is remarkab-
ly restrained and conservative. is
unanimous in this view. There is no
tendency to exaggerate happenings in
Germany, but it is felt that the Ger
mans have had enough to make it
imperative for the government to
make peace at the earliest possible
moment.
M. Copies, writing in the Figaro,
fairly sums up the view of all editor
ial writers, when he says:
"The details of revolutionary move
ments in Germany are lacking, but
we learned enough from hour to hour
to feel already that they are neither
superficial or fictitious. Do they con-
tain deep-set revolution? Are they
but riots due to the reaction of defeat?
What authority does the republic pro-
claimed at Munich possess? These
are questions which concern Germany
alone"
While Germany IS rejecting on the
allies terms, Marshal Foch continues
his blows without intermission. The
German army may break at any mo-
treat from the Scheldt yesterday and
the French are along the Meuse over
a front of fifteen miles. The alterna.
tive for Germany now is armistice or
invasion-not evasion.

WHEN GERMANS GOT
ARMISTICE TERMS

PARIS, Nov. 9.-Germany's arm
istlce delegates were received ny
Marshal Foch yesterday morning
at 9 O'Clock in a railroad car, IN
which the commander in chief OF
the allied force has had his head
quarters, according to the Petit
journal. When the Germans ere
dentiaIs had been opened and veri-
fled, Matthias Erzberger, leader OF
the enemy delegation, speaking IN
French, announced that the Ger
man government had been advised
by President Wilson that Marshal
Foch was qualified to communicate
TO them the allies conditions and
had appointed them plenipoten-
tiaries to take cognizance OF the
terms and eventually sign an arm
istice.
Marshal Foch then made the
terms In a loud voice, dwelling up
on each word. The Germans were
prepared by semi-official communi-
cations for the stipulations, as
whole, but hearing set forth in de-
tail the concrete demands, seemed
to brinu to them for the first time
full realization Of the extent of the
German defeat.
They made a few observations
merely pointing out material diff
cuIties standing in the way OF car
ryina out some quite secondary
clauses. Then Erzberger asked Tor
a suspension Of hostilities in the
interests Of humanity. This re-
quest Marshal Foch fiatIy refused.
The delegates, having obtained
permission to send courier to
Spa, and communicate with that
place by wireless, Withdrew. Mar
shal Foch Immediately wrote an
account Of the proceedings and
sent them by an aide to Premier
cIemenceau, who received them at
noon.
The German delegates are lodged
in a country mansion at Rethon-
des, 6 miles east Of compiegne, and
thirty miles from Marshal Foeh's
headquarters.
With the commander in chief at
the time Of the interview were Maj
or General Maxine Woysand, his
assistant; Vice Admiral Sir Ross
Iyn Wemyes, first lord Of the Brit
ish admiralty and Vice Admiral
William s. Sims, American repre-
sentative.

east Of Valenciennes to the south
bank Of the Mozelle. Further south.
the line runs along the frontier, but is
nowhere more than a couple Of miles
west of Germany's domains.
This fact, and the obvious ability OF
the allied armies to complete their tri-
umph over the enemy. may bring about
a quick decision by the military chiefs
of Germany. Emperor William is at
Spa. it is said, and It is considered
possible that the armistice mission
now at Marshal Foch's headquarters
may receive instructions by wireless.
The Red Terror, which Germany
lcosed upon Russia just one year ago
today has returned home. Germanys
borders are closed and little is known
of the real situation but it seems prob
able that the crimson carnival that
will mark the end Of the Hohenzollern
dynasty is not far distant.
Bavaria has been declared a repub-
lie and the Wittelsbach dynasty head
ed by King Ludwig Ill is deposed.
Emperor Williams abdication has
been demanded by the socialists, but
has been met with refusal from the
emperor. who fears to quit office at
such a critical juncture in the history
of Germany.
The revolution is seemingly rapidly
spreading through the great industrial
and maritime cities of Prussia, Essen
the site Of the great Krupp munition
works, being the latest place reported
to be disaffected.
Macmillan Resigns.
Prince Henry of Prussia, the emper-
or's brother, who visited America in

Prince Max of Baden. the imperial

action which brought about the inter
change Of notes between Berlin and
Washington, which resulted in the dis
patching of armistice delegates to ask
terms of the allies.
Virtually all the North Sea coast

WASHINGTON, Nov 9-Capture
Of Maubeuge by the British, General
March said today, marks the definite
to that sector of the west front and
will make it impossible for the enemy
to shift his forces to meet new at
tack.
Summarizing the allied successes
since the Inauguration of the forward

that the Germans have been driven

territory they occupy in France from
10000 square miles to. less than $500.
The American first army under Gen.
eral Pershing has advanced thirty
miles in the last eight days.
Denounces False News.
General March characterized the
publication of the erroneous announce
ment Of the armistice as very bad for
the military program of the United
States" for instance, he said, In New
York, the stevadores, who were en-
gagged in loading very essential sup
plies for the expeditionary forces.
stopped work and did not return at
at all on that day or the next day and
army food shipments were thus de-
layed.
In commenting on this incident the
chief of staff made the statement that
the American army will be in France
for some time even when peace is de-
clared.
