AMSTERDAM, Nov. 27--The armis-
tice conferences between the German
delegates and Marshal Foch and his
associates early this month, were car
ried out in the most businesslike man
ner possible and apparently without
notable incidents, according to long
account of the conference given the
Berlin Vossische Zeitung by member
of the German party.
After the French met the German
commissioners, they were driven for
ten hours in automobiles to an ap-
pointed rendezvous "It seemed to
me- says the narrator, that the drive
was Intentionally prolonged in order
to carry us through the devastated
provinces and prepare us for the hard
est conditions which hatred and re-
venge might demand. One Of the
Frenchmen pointed to a heap of ruins,
saying, Behold ST. Quentin.
I'VE entered train with blinds
drawn in the evening and awoke in
the morning in the midst of the forest
of Compiegne. surrounded by soldiers.
There were two trains, occupied by
Marshal Foch and his staff and the
other by the Germans. In these we
lived, worked and negotiated for three
days. We had everything in abund-
ance There was nothing to find fault
with. The great enmity and hatred
that apparently prevailed against us
were shown, however, in the negotia-
tions and in the terms imposed"
The narrator remarks that French
officers and Vice Admiral Wemyss,
British representative, maintained
cold attitude, never tempered by
friendly word"
Marshal Foch, whom we only saw
twice, at the beginning and at the end
of the conference, is stern, plain

BRITAIN MUST HOLD
SUPREMACY OF SEAS,
SAYS CHURCHILL
{By Associated Press)

LONDON, Nov. 27. Speaking at
Dundee tonight, Winston Spencer
Churchill, minister of munitions, said
that while he would do everything in
his power to make league of nations
practical and powerful reality, said
that it would be no substitute for the
supremacy of the British fleet.
In reference to the freedom Of the
seas he said: From the battle Of Ira
falgar to the end of the nineteenth
century we were absolutely free at sea
We were the only nation whose ports
were open to the world, whose mar
kets We're unrestrained by any tariff
and whose coastwise trade was not
held as a national monopoly. Even
our kith and kin from the United
States. whose affection and aid have
been so dear to us never practiced that
broad liberal policy which we for a
century of unchallenged supremacy,
have shown upon the sea-
Let us be careful not to catch the
infection of German ideas at the mo-
ment we have defeated the German
army. If other nations of the world
are content to allow us to keep the
supremacy of the sea without demur.
it will be because we hold it as a trust
for all"

GERMANY STILL
FALSE, CLAIMS
ENGLISH PRESS
Guilt of Central Powers Prov
ed by Bavarian Revelations,
Allies Believe.
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, Nov. 81. - Newspapers
here devote much space to discussion
of the revelations made by Bavaria in
publishing official kilograms which
passed between Berlin and Munich just
before the war broke out in 1914 They
agree that the guilt of Germany and
Austria, persistently denied during the
past four years, has been proved by
the Bavarian government
Germany has been challenged
again and again to produce the whole
correspondence between Berlin and
Vienna during July, 1914" says the
Times. ''She has never dared produce
it. Will the new government dare
just to show the gulf between it and
it's predecessors? Bavaria has proved
she was an accomplice of Berlin and
Vienna She supported them until
they lost and now she shall not whiten
her character in the eyes of the allies
by blackening the records of her con-
federates."
"The kaiser after taking every pos
sible step to throw the allies off their
guard, struck, expecting in a few
weeks to have the world at his feet"
says the Mail "The revelations made
by Bavaria will not surprise the allies
nor dispassionate historians in neutral
countries"
THUS was the blood bath prepared.
Is the kaiser to be allowed to go with
out trial?' is the comment of the Ex-
press.
The Morning Post says that Dr. Solf
in appealing for modification of the
armistice terms, is following exactly
the tactics disclosed in the published
kilograms.
1t now appears that his representa-
tions of starving conditions in Ger
many are false, the newspaper con-
tinues. mo doubt there is hardship in
Germany, but whose fault is that? So
far as the associated governments are
concerned domestic dissentions in Ger
many serve merely to put them on the
alert against that treachery which is
ingrained in Germany"
