Washington, Nov. 13-Appeals of
 the German armistice envoys to Mar
 shal Foch for modification of the
 terms of surrender were of little avail. This is indicated by the
 amended terms, which were publish
 ed today. Close survey of the amend ments show few deviations in essen-
 tial details from the original draft which was announced by President Wilson on Monday.
 The amended terms in some re- spects favor the defeated enemy, but
 other provisions completely offset the slight favors granted. Chief among the changes made by Marshal Foch was the inclusion ot provision un- der which Germany is forced to give i up her entire fleet of submarines. The original term as to submarines pro- 1 vided for the turning over to the AL | lies and the United States of only 1 hundred and sixty U-bOats.
 ! The amendment further provides ! that the German sub-fleet must ne | surrendered within fourteen days. Another of the eighteen terms | which were amended provides thai 1 the designated units of the German ] fleet which are to be surrendered must be prepared to leave their ports within seven days after the signing | Of the armistice. No time limit was ! fixed on the original draft. Instead of 1 5O,000 railroad cars, the Germans are required to surrender 150, ,000 cars ] The number of machine guns to be l turned over to the associated govern ! ments is reduced from 3O,0O0 to 25,- ! 000 German troops in East Africa l are required to evacuate that terri l tory instead of surrendering. Specific l reference is made in the amended terms to repatriation of German pri5- | oners Of war at the conclusion 0 ] peace.
 Territories which belong to Austria , Hungary before the war are added tt those which must be evacuated. Rus sian provinces are to be evacuated
 "as soon as the allies, taking into ac
 count the internal situation of these
 territories shall decide that the time
 for this has come" instead of imme'
 diately Provision also is made fo an armistice commission.

FRANCE, April 24-Enough Ameri
can troops were thrown into the bat
tie line the past few weeks to stem
the German drive. do not mean that
American troops actually stopped the
German advance, as that the Ger
mans may not advance further. No
doubt during the lull at this writing
they are consolidating the ground won
and bringing up additional forces. but
the real dangers from Germany's su'
preme effort is passed.
She may push farther a. few miles
here and there, but the miles gained
are dearly paid for in men. Every
mile gained in this drive has cost
Germany from twenty to twenty-five
thousand men. a considerable over a
half million all told.
Only a portion OF the American
forces actually on the battle front are
in Flanders fighting with the British.
The other portion has taken over front
trenches farther east and south, reliev-
ing veteran French troops for the
Flanders fight.
More American troops have been
thrown in than were engaged by
either side in many great battles re-
corded in history. While our contri.
button to this the worlds greatest
battle is not to be compared to the
French who have supported the Brit
ish right, it is not exaggerating to
say that the numbers we. were able
to contribute were sufficient under
the usual circumstances of battle to
determine the issue.
1t will be remembered that Lloyd
George, in his speech to the British
parliament, two weeks after the bat.
tie began, stated that the forces of
England and France were practically
the same as those of Germany. This
being true, the entrance of the con.
siderable number of fresh troops the
United States was able to furnish was
all important. 1t was like the sud-
den arrival of Buell. at Shiloh or
Blucher at Waterloo. Today's diS.
patches in Paris papers contain this
significant item from the French
front:
Counting on y. s.
I'VE can now count ON the United
States divisions. We have an equal.
ity OF material force which America
will soon convert into superiority"
And that's as certain and sure as
