sists of private correspondents,
which the writer permits to be
published.
Except as above prohibited there
is no objection to the writing of
letters or the furnishing of news
items to newspapers, etc, from
time to time, or to the publication

dcncc provided such activities do

ENEMY ON PROBATION
U. S. GOVERNMENT TAKING
STOCK OF SITUATION.
Hard Task to Frame Peace Treaty,
Signing of Which Is Believed
Far Off.

Washington, Nov. 13.-WashingtOn
is taking stock Of the situation ere
ated by the signing of the armistice
by Germany and the cessation of fight
ing. While peace conference is loom
ing large on the horizon nothing defin-
ite has been agreed upon with refer
ence to it.
In effect, Germany is on probation
for the next month and the armistice
terms must be carried out. If at the
end of that time Germany has not
complied with the terms, although en-
deavoring meantime to do so in good
faith, an extension of time will be
granted. On the contrary, if the terms
are not carried out in good faith, 9th
er steps, which cannot now be de-
finitely foreseen, must be taken. Un-
til the armistice terms are absolutely
complied with nothing can be done but
make tentative plans to meet emer-
gencies on the one hand and to pre-
pare for the next step-a peace con-
ference-on the other.
The belief here is that the actual
signing of the peace treaty is yet a
long way off. The framing of the
treaty win be one of the most COM
pick tasks ever attempted because of
the many nations and natiOnalities in
volved, and because the map of the
whole world will have to be changed,
provision made for the sterilization
of the changes ana a program of pro-
cedure mapped out over period of
years.
