ENEMY FIRMLY BOUND,
ARMY EXPERTS SAY
Terms for Germany More
Drastic Than for Other
Foes
Washington. NOV.

NhShlngtoH. NOV. L.
An analysis Of the terms imposed upon
Germany shows them to be even more
drastic than those being enforced against
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
The object sought-absolute preven-
ton OF recurrence Of hostilities is
the same in each case, and, in general,
the same character Of concessions was
required, though In Germany's case
there was no necessity to provide for
future campaigns against a remaining
enemy.
The surrender or 5000 cannon. 1000
airplanes and other war material in
proportion, military men say, means
that for years to come the German
States viii be unable to think in terms
Of armed force against any Of the Pow
ers associated against them. Austria,
Bulsaria and Turkey are in the same
state az to military essentials. even il
the complete political disintegration of
Austria Hungary had not virtually dis
posed Of danger from that source.
The strength of the German navy has
been cut away by the agreement to sur
render 100 submarines, six battle cruis-
ers and ten battleships, fifty modern de-
struyers and many other craft. At this
single stroke Germany would lose, Nir-
tually It's whole modern fleet, The ships
which remain are chiefly Of the pre-
draednaught days and other obsolete
types.
II was noted by officers here that
Marshal Foch and his naval advisers
had not lost sight of the mu,sny within
the German fleet and the poss .bility that
this might interfere with the carrying
out Of the aYmistice naval terms The
supplementary condition authorizing &C.
cupation of Helgoland as an advanced
base by the Allies in case the specified
ships are not promptly surrendered is
designed to render the German fleet
harmless in any case and its destruction
certain in the end
1t was noted also with satisfaction
that ample precautions had been taken
in the terms against the erection of any
interior defcnses behind the Rhine The
occupation Of the Rhine fortresses and
Of a thirty-llllometer zone on the right
bank Of the river wherever bridgehead
is to be protected gives absolute domina-
tlou of the forty-kilometer neutral zone
established east OF the Rhine TO the
Allied forces, even without the garrl-
s1ning 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 a dozen routes
across the great river.

U. s. EXPENSES GOING

New York. Nov. u.

New York, Nov. ~.
Congressman s, u. Fess, Of Ohio. a
Republican candidate for the Speaker

the opening OF the Lutheran merger

expenses of not less than $4,000, 900, ,OOO
as against $1,000. 100000 yearly before
the United States entered the. world
struggle just terminated.
Mr. Fess said that. in addition to the
aHtebellum cost of government, Con-
gress would be faced with devising some
scheme Of taxation to provide 81 .OOO,-
100000 each year to pay interest on
war bonds, similar sum 10 cover war
risk insurance claims and an equal
amount for the support of the army and
navy. The country would never again
permit itself to be caught In a state of
unpreparedness. Mr.. Fess thought, and
universal military training in some form
was almost certain to be adopted.
Many problems We're presented, Mr..
Fess told the churchmen, In turning the
country over from a war 10 a peace
basis.
Most of our emergency legislation will
have TO be tested" he said that which
is of value can be retained and that
which was enacted to meet the demands
of a crisis discarded.
THE unemployment problem will tax
the best brains Of the nation for solu-
mn ao
TO provide work for the discharged sol
diers. II has been suggested that they
he used In road building and in the
work OF reclaiming the arid lands Of the
West. There will be an entirely new
system of wage employment and the

SEARCHING FOR AUTO
IN MURDER MYSTERY
Cape May Authorities on Trail

Found Slain

ape WAY. y. d., sNhNt AH.'
search is being made today 10y the
police of cape May county for an auto
mobile which, it IS believed, carried the
woman whose body was found on the
beach at Cap. May Point. the scene Of
her death
Latest devclotneuts in the murder
mystery indicate that the woman, after
being attacked in the car, ran nearly 100
yards before she fell on the sand.
The murderer followed her the police
believe, and fired the shot which ended
her life when bu; q few feet from the
victim.
The theory that she was shot while
in the automobile has been eliminated
because there were no powder marks on
her face. The fatal wound is slightly
above the right temple.
Several clues have been unearthed
which may ultimately lead TO the muir
derer.
Have Number of Automobile License
The license number of 4 closed ear
which was seen near the scene Of the
murder has been obtained by the police,
who have also l,yrned that the rear
wheels were fitted with tires Of different
design.
There is every reason TO believe that
the car came from some nearby place.
The license number I'm the possession of
the police, it Is said. is not that Of any
car in Cape May County.
The murderer is believed TO have been
practiced in crime. This is pretty we'll
established because Of the fact that he
carried chloroform and a revolver, and
because he struck the woman several
blows before she succumbed.
Considerable mystery attaches to the
photograph of the bungalow found in
