COURIER CARRIES
.F0CH Terms TO
KAISER AT SPA

tied for them with no great delay.
Some believe that acceptance is as
sured and will be fastened now that
final effort to bubble with hostili-
ties stopped is ended, on the theory
that even the kaiser himself must
realize that unless peace is made
quickly there will be no government
in Germany to make it.
Public to Get News Promptly.
Revival in New York and else
where today of the premature peace
demonstrations started yesterday by
the false report of the signing of the
armisticey led President Wilson to
direct Secretary Lansing to an
nounce that as soon as any decision
in regard to the armistice was
reached it would be made public I'M
mediately by the government and
that any statement that news re-
garding this event was being with
held was utterly false.
An interesting question was raised
by the statement in the report I'd
the American government on which
Secretary Lansing based his state
ment that the German ENJOYS came
with full powers. Since the dele
gates did not use full powers either
to sign or reject the terms and in
stead referred them to grand head
quarters it was regarded here as
certain that they came with the
hope of accomplishing something
more than the signature of an ar
mistice. 1t was believed their pur-
pose was to inject matters which
can be considered only at the peace
conference.
1t has been made very clear, how
ever, and emphasized today in Off
cial dispatches from France that
Marshal Foch's powers were limited
strictly to the drastic military pro-
gram prescribed by the supreme war
council at Versailles.

ADVICE TO THlE
LOVELORN

Fears French Girls.

My Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
have been reading your "Advice to Love-
lorn'"and think you could help me out, as
you have others. I am Is years old and
have a very dear friend in France. Do
you think it right to keep company with
other boy friends here?, 1 am very much
troubled about the French girls he
writes about. What would be the best
course to pursue? BLUE EYES.
You do not say whether or not you are
engaged to the dear friend. so I assume
that you are not. II you want to have
other friends and are not engaged to the
young man in France, you certainly have
right to do as you please In this respect.
You say you are worried about his interest
In French girls. Perhaps ne may be wor-
ried about your friends here. The golden
rule Is a good one to follow In this connec-
ton. AS for the young ladies in France. the
American soldiers are too busy over there
to spend much Of their time in flirtations.
If your friend really cares for you. his love
will safeguard him from the charms of 9TH
ers. If he does not, you would lose him
anyhow. Why not write him friendly. chat
ty letters. telling him all the news from
home and all the interesting things that
happen, but with no sentiment to bore
him? Soldiers appreciate home letters and
you could do nothing better to make LIN
think highly Of you than to do this. In
the meantime, entertain your other friends
II you care to. remembering to do and say
nothing that you would object to his know
Ing If he were present Then. II you and
he still care for each other when he re-
turns, there will be plenty Of time for the
sentimental part Of your friendship.
