 It was noted also with satisfied that ample precautions had been talk ken in the terms against the erect ion of any interior defenses behind the Rhine.
 The occupation of the Rhine fort resses and of thirty kilometer zone on the right bank of the river, wherever bridge head is to be pro tectd, gives absolute domination of the forty kilometers neutral zones es- tablished east of the Rhine 10 rnc allied forces, even without the garrl- soning of any cities or other points within the zone. The way is to be kept open, continually, for advance into the heart of Germany by dozen routes across the great river.
 The provisions for cOmpensatlng the occupied territories for the havoc wrought by the invaders is contained in simple sentencc--rcparation for damage done.
 As q step to restoring the map lines, the treaties of Brcst-Litavsck has laAd, Russia prone and of the Blu chareA, which plundcred Rumania, must be abandoned. Money, sccuri- ties, precious metals and other valu- ables footed from the invaded coun- tries must be returned in trust to the allies until the conclusion of peace. In the west, the railways of Alsace- Lorraine, the valuable stores of iron and coal, all the stores and supplies in Belgium which arms and arma- ments must be handed over.
 In the east, the black sea ports must be evacuated, the warships taken by Germany from the Russians must be surrendered in the Baltic, forts and defenses barring the way at the Cattcga must be delivered and there must be free access to the sea, for the allies. The allied blockade is to remain unchanged. Meanwhile German merchant ships are to be de- livered for missions of mercy in car rying food to the starving; allied ships held by the Germans arc to be released without any obligation to re- store Germany her ships now in the hands of the associated governments. Germany is to notify the neutrals ; they arc free to trade with the asso- l ciated governments without molcsta- ton.
 | In a word, the iron ring is tighten ed, and at her borders the civilized world waits while Germany reforms herself from within.
 ] The duration of the armistice is 30 days and various periods are speci- lied within those thirty days for com pllance with certain specific terms. One provision of the armistice which

 In his address to congress today the president sounded a note of warn. ing, that unless the German peone are fed, unless their distress is To. lieved, there is danger of Bolsbeyisn The question of what sort of eov. ernment might arise to make peace he declared, was a matter of no small anxiety and misgivings.

 "Thc peoples who have but just come out from under tho yoke of ar bitrary government and who are now coming at last into their freedom will never find the treasures of lib crty they arc ill search if they look for them by the light of torches. They will find that every pathway that is stained with the blood of their own brothers leads to the wilderness, not to the scat of their hopes. They are now face to face with their ini- tial tests. We must hold the light steady until they find themselves. And in the meantime, if it be possi- ble we define their place among the nations, remove all fear of their neighbors and of their former mas ters, and enable them to live in se- curity and contentment when they have set their own affairs in order, 1 for cne, do not doubt their purpose CT their capacity. There are some happy signs that they know and will choose some way of self control and peaceful accommodation. If they do, we shall put our aid at their disposal in every way that we can. If they do not, we must await with patience and sympathy the awakening and re- covery that will assuredly come at last"
 Analysis of the terms imposed up- on Germany shows them to be even more drastic than those being enfor- ced against Austria, Bulgarian and , Turkey.
 From a military standpoint. all of these powers have been stripped even Of the means of defense.

I'm that period, first. the war must
be fought to unconditional surrender,

Second, the terms of world peace
must be settled.
An Absolute Power.
Third, the Democratic administra-
ton, after expanding billions of treas

er than any administration in our his
tory, must give an account of its stew
ardship.
Fourth, the change from war con-
ditions to peace must be brought about

much better qualified than one con-
trolled by Democrats to aid the coun

Republicans Did Work.
First, even as a minority party, the
Republicans made the winning of the

President and Notes.
THE president has indicated q will

ating. He has not demanded, as might
! have done in three lines, that which
the Americans demand, an uncondi-
tona1 surrender. His exchange OF
notes with Germany has caused a deep
concern among our people lest he may
by his parleying with her, concede her
a peace around a council table, in
| stead of a sentence from a court. The
fourteen points which the president
and Germany assume that they nave
already agreed upon, are so general
and vague that such a peace would t't

when finally stabilized, most traders look
for decline in prices, as past wars have
IN most instances been followed by recess

see nothing but irregularly declining
prices for grains and food stuffs for some
time and are pressing the short side at
every opportunity. Those who believe in
large demand for gIains and provisions
