Status Of Negotiations Uncertain.
Prior to the receipt Of the reply to
the armistice terms there seems some
question as to the final authority Of
the present German regency to ratify
terms for the subsequent approval of
the revolutionary bodies now striving
for government control. It is stated
here, however, that unless a revolu-
tionary government in Germany def
nitely repudiates thelauthority Of the
German armistice commissioners, 1t Is
the general belief that the spreading
German fevolts will not prevent Cen
eral Foch from accepting the sigma
lures Of the ENJOYS and proceeding to
put the armistice conditions into effect.
