 Church Pastor.

Rev. Howard Arnold Walter, son of MT. and Mrs. Henry s. Walter of 26 Lexington street died in India, Monday, following an attack of Span ish influenza which weakened his heart.

  lows:
 'sI would be true, for there are those
 who trust me;
 would be pure, for there / are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much
 to suffer;
 would be brave for there is much
 to dare.
 I would be friend of all-the foe, the
 friendlesG:
 I would be giving, and forget the
 gift:
 I would be humble. for know my
 weaknesS;
 l would look up---and laugh-and
 love-and lift"
 While in this country he took an active interest in '. M. C. A. work and was connected with the Hartford executive committee. He was a member of several college fraternities both at the Ha artford seminary and at Princeton.

ARMISTICE TERMS
 MADE MORE SEVERE
Marshal FOCh Pays Little Atten-
 tiOn to Germany's Vail
DEMANDS ALL U-B0ATS
somo Changes Favor Huns But Others More Than Offset Advan- tcriaI.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Appeals of the German armistice envoys to Mar shal FOch for modification of the terms of surrender were of little avail. This is indicated by the amended terms, which were published today. Close survey of the amend ments show few deviations in essen- tial details from the original draft which was announced to the nation Monday by President Wilson in an address before congress-
 The amended terms in some re- spects favor the defeated enemy but other provisions completely offset the slight faVOrS granted. Chief among the changes made by Marshal Foch was the inclusion of a provision un- der which Germany is forced to give up her entire fleet of submarines The original term as to submarines provided for the turning over to the Allies and the United States of only one hundred and sixty U-boats The amendment further provides that the German submarine fleet must be sur rendered within IA days.
 IS Terms Made More Severe.
 Another of the IS terms which were amended provides that the des- ignated units of the German fleet which are to be surrendered must be prepared to leave their ports within seven days after the signing of the armistice. No time limit was fixed in the original draft Instead of 50,- 900 railroad cars the Germans are required to surrender 15O,000 cars. The number of machine guns to be turned over to the associated govern ments is reduced from 5000 to 25,- 900. German troops in East Africa are required to evacuate that terri tory instead Of surrendering. Specific reference is made in the amended terms to repatriation of German prisoners of war at the conclusion of peace. Territories which belonged to Austria-Hungary before the war are added to these which must be eVac- uated. Russian provinces are to be evacuated "as soon as the Allies, talk ing into account the internal situa- ton of these territories, shall decide that the time for this has come," in stead of imm ediately. Provision also is made in the amended terms for an armistice comm ission.

Governor Says All Must Fill Out Questiomaires While Crowder Says All Need Not DO This.

Washington, Nov. 13-Men between 36 and 45 years of age who have re- ceived but not filled out question naires were asked today by Provost Marshal General Crowder to return them in blank form to local boards. The boards are instructed to cancel all entries relating 10 men of these classes and they will be considered aS no longer bound by the SelectiVe service law.
 Classification of youths of IS, which will be continued, is regarded by the general staff of the army as most val uable for statistical purposes, and it's bearing upon possible future military problems.
 Draft boards also have been noti- fled of the possibility that they may be needed as the active local agents in governmental demobilization plans. The first district draft board today received this telegram from the gov ernment:
 "Questionnaires mailed to regis trants thirty-seven to forty-t five should be executed and returned to the To- cal board. Give this information to legal advisory boards.
 (Signed) "HOLCOMB,
 Governor" This telegram sems to contradict official word from Washington, D. C., stating that these questionnaires need not be filled out.

Brussels Garrison About to Depart and German Soldiers Revolt Against Own OGiccrs-BIowing Up Ammu- milton.

With the American Army at the Front, Nov. 13.-The American army is marking time funtil orders como from Marshal Foch for the next move. The roads near the front are filled with panoply of the war that has ended. The soldiers are wondering when they will get home.
 Enemy Destroying Ammunition.
 All day yesterday there were many explosions behind the German lines, indicating that the enemy was blow ing up ammunition. It is not probable that the Germans were destroying am- munition dumps after the signing of the armistice terms Because of the cOngested cables it is probable that portions of this dispatch were written November 1 and in some unaccount- able manner were delivered with and as a part of despatches filed today.
 Very few German soldiers were seen along the front line, giving rise to the belief that plans already are under way for the retirement back to their own border.
 The German command will have a difficult task, it is believed, to accom- plish this in time, because since the Americans have cut the Mezieres- LonguyOn line at Sedan, the Germans have but one main line over which to return to Germany. This line runs through Liege.
 Hard to Get Information.
 The terms of the armistice forbid American airplanes from going over the German lines and inasmuch as no prisoners are being taken, it is vir- tually impossible to get any informa- ton as to the movements of the German army.
 The hours since the cessation of hostilities have wrought a wonderful change at the front. Silence prevails Ambulances are parked along the roads. Laughing groups of American and French soldiers are rejoicing over their success. It is taken for granted that the war cannot start going again
 Only one thing goes on as it did hefore-the work of the German prisoners who are repairing the damage German guns and mines have done to the roads of France.
 The celebration over the signing of the armistice in the towns in this part of France continue with unabated joy The villages are illuminated for the first time in four years.

WARN HOLLAND
GERMANY WILL

Entente Diplomats Certain
Kaiser Will Disregard
Agreement. !.

Hollands reported agreement with
Germany concerning the Transports
ton of sand and gravel through
Dutch territory will be regarded by
Germany as a scrap of paper"
This was the warning given yes
terday by entente diplomats here,
who believe that Germany would
not hesitate to attempt an invasion
of Holland II she found that her
U-boat campaign could be continued
only through using Dutch ports az
submarine bases.
One Official stated that the report
ed agreement carefully avoids any
mention of the possible transporta-
tion Of German troops and war sup
plies through the Netherlands, and
that this question can be raised by
Germany at a moments notice.
Would Respect Denmark.
This official said: Should the
German army win Amiens and the
channel ports. there is little doubt
that the Kaiser. urged on BY the
German admiralty. would order a
clean sweep of the North Sea front,
respecting only the rights of Dem
mark.
Holland could not greatly aid

the question of great railroad facili-
ties be of enough Importance to

until her U-boats have halted Great
Britain and America from landing

must have U-boat bases II she 10 ia
wage a successful submarine war
The ports of the Netherlands offer
her ideal naval bases from which
to attempt a drive against the
heavily guarded route between
Dover and Calais.
Although 1t rs possible that Ger
many, having won the Channel
ports would seek a grJ naval de-
cision. 1t Is far more probable that
she would attempt rather to press
the U-boat campaign from Hol-
lands ports"
Ohicials Of the Netherlands en-
bassy here believe that for the
present at least all difficulties be-
tween Germany and the Neither
lands have been adjusted. They
believe that the question of the
movement OF troops through Dutch
territory has not been suggested.

in the camps and cantonments in re-
ceiving their mail from home. The
following order was issued last night
by the War Department:
A general order has been issued
dealing with the matter Of numerous
and bitter complaints that have been
made by reason of delays and errors
In the delivery of mail TO enlisted
men in camps and cantonmcnts, and
by reason of the loss or theft Of mail,
after IL has been turned over to the

These occurrences cause widespread
dissatisfaction among the men to

ally bring reproach upon the military
service.

Much difficulty will be avoided II.
upon detailing mail orderijes, COM

structions in this matter. Upon as
suming their duties the mail orderlies
will be informed that neglect, tardi-
ness, or carelessness will subject

formity with the present practice in

ter Of insured parcels, and command
ing officers will issue the necessary
instructions to cause mail orderlies
to accord to insured parcels the same
careful treatment and exercise the
same precautions to see that deliy-
cries are effected to the proper ad-
dressee as was the case when mail
orderlies were required to receipt to
postmasters and to take -eceipts
from the persons to whom insured
parcels were delivered.
