Amsterdam, Nov. G. - President

published this evening.

shall Foch at daybreak

lowing dispatch from London:

Amsterdam, Tuesday, Nov 5.-Gen.
f. G. w. Won Gruenel, Germany's
military delegate to the Hague peace
conferences Gen. w. X. A. Won
Winterfield, Admiral Meures, former
military commander in Paris, and Adj
miral Paul Won Hintze, former sec
rotary Of foreign affairs, have been
appointed members of a commission
to deal with the allied powers On ar
mistice negotiations.
Washington, Nov G.-Armistice
terms prepared for Germany by the
supreme war council a)on will be in
the hands Of German emissaries now
on their way from Berlin to the west
eln front, but the time that must
elapse before there is a decision as
to their acceptance or rejection prob
ably will depend upon powers with
which the German delegation has
been clothed.
Officials here have assumed that
the German representatives, after
securing the terms from Marshal
Foch, will transmit them by telegraph
Of convey them personally to the Ger
man high command in the field, for
it is understood to be the purpose in
the present case, as was done with
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, to deal
with the armistice as purely mill
tary issue between the military COM
mands.
Should this procedure be followed
it is regarded here as probable that
several days may elapse while the
German general staff, now nominally
at least, subordinate to the civil gov
eminent, can consider the conditions
laid down and reach decision. There
can be no argument as to the terms,
no matter how harsh they may APP
pear to the Germans. The only
course left to Germany is to accept
or. reject them. Meantime Marshal
Foch is expected to continue the
pressure on the Teutonic armies,
which now threatens their safety
along 200-mile front
No announcement has yea been
made as to when the terms Of the
armistice will be made public Their
publication probably will be delayed
until Germany has reached decis
ion with regard to their acceptance
or rejection.
Germany can have peace on the
terms and principles enunciated by
President Wilson, but must pay an
enormous indemnity for the wanton
destruction wrought by it's forces on
land, on sea and in the air.
Germany's spokesman already have
acquiesced in the terms and prin-
ciples as laid down by President Will
son. BY accepting the armistice they
agree in advance to the qualifica-
tons made by the allies and, conse-
much Of the real work Of
the peace conference will have been
