Blockade Not Raised.
But Relief Measures
Are Expected Later

PARIS, Feb. 17.-Marshal Foch ap-
peared in person before the council
of great powers to-day and announced
the acceptance and the signing by the
Germans Of the new conditions Of the
armistice.
The signing took place at O'Clock
Sunday evening on board Marshal
Foch's private car at Treves
This averts what promised to be
rather critical situation, as it had
been reported that the Germans might
persist in carrying out their intima-
tlons OF a refusal to sign.
The new terms, while still withheld.
are understood to restrict German on
erations against Poland within GER
tain fixed lines, thus removing the
danger OF military clash, and at the
same time opening access between the
interior of Poland and the Baltic Sea.
But more important results will take
form shortly when Marshal Foch re-
turns to Treves for submission of the
details of the disarmament and de-
mobilization Of the German forces.
which are being formulated by the mil
itary, naval and economic advisors Of
Foch. These arc of nature amount
ing in fact to a preliminary peace
agreement.
Disarmament is understood to in
clude both the naval and military
branches and the naval authorities ex-
pect the ultimate naval terms will pro-
vide for the dismantling of the forti-
tications OF Helgoland and the Kiel ca
nal, the canal being opened for COM
mercial navigation
While the blockade is not raised by
the present terms. 1t is expected thst
the disarmament under later and moro
complete terms will obviate the neccs-
slty of a furthr blockade and permit
such economic and food relief as ia
determined upon.

day gave further hearing on the Rus.

reached. The feeling seems to be ren-
eral that no decision is in eight and

The new Allied armistice terms
were signed by the German ar

at $50 p. m.
Under the terms Marshal Foch will
impose demobilization and dis
armament upon Germany.
The exact disarmament require
ments have not been announced.
but they are said to apply to both
the army and navy fortifcations.
Helgoland and the Kiel Canal will
be stripped of their defences and
the canal is to be opened to COM
mercial navigation, it is SAID
1t is also said that the German war
ships which have been interned in
Scapa Flow are to be surrendered
and destroyed.
Germany must abandon all often
slve movements against the Poles
and prohibit her troops from
crossing the Russian frontier at
certain points.
A line of demarcation was drawn
between Germany and Poland in
such way as to give Poland a
considerable part Of Posen and
strip of Silesia.
The restrictions on German arma-
ment enforced by the armistice re
newal are to be made permanent
through the league of nations, it
is said.
The German government, after an
all-night session at Weimar, at
which the leaders Of all parties
were present, ordered Chairman
Erzberger, Of the German ar
mistice commission, to sign the
document
Erzberger, at the instance of the
German government, presented
note to Marshal Foch regard
ing the release of German pris-
oners, and also concerning Ger

Will Work Without Wilson

10 questions whether the peace CON
ference would meet before the return
of President Wilson, NJ Pichon re-
piled:
when leaving, the President placed
great stress upon his desire that the
work of The peace conference should
60 on during his absence, adding that
he had left behind men he trusted, who
were fully able to continue the work.
He is anxious to come back as soon as
possible, and hopes that the work done
while he is away Will result in i'm
portant questions being considerably
advanced toward final soluton.''
When asked, "Can the Allies among
themselves form league before the
neutrals are consulted he replied
that the answer was in the covenant
in which the powers constitute them
selves a league. The league will not
reach its final form until the neutrals
are consulted. he added, "but they will
certainly come in and agree to form
part of the league
"Must the national parliaments be
consulted in regard to the covenant %
was another question, and Nj. Pichon
answered:
"Of course. the parliaments of the
various nations must pass on the COW
enant before it goes into force, because
the questions of sovereignty and mill
tary power arc involved, making par
| liamentary sanction imperative"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1T.-Two dc
crees by Russian Soviets under which
women arc "sociaized" or "national-
lied" were given to-day to the Over
man committee, furnishing tho addi-
tlonal proof of the reports coming out
of Russia of the Bolshevk plans for
the degradation Of women.
The DEGREES on women showed that
there was no uniformity of action
among the Soviets. In one case the
decree provided that every woman over
eighteen should be compelled once a
month to choose "cohabltant hus-
band" whose consena WIS not asked,
and that men had the same right to
choose a woman without her consent.
In the other the requirement was that
all women between eighteen and thirty
two became the "property Of the ma
ton" and were subject to any recog
nized citizen.
This latter decree was issued at
Saratov and is based on DEGREES of the
Soviet of kronstadt at the cradle of
the Bolshevist revolution. The witness
stated that many people were fleeing
from the city and that it seemed doubt
tul whether the decree could be en-
forced. 1t is as follows;
Decree
"This decree is proclaimed by the
Free Association of Anarchists in
Of In
ance with the decision Of the Soviet
of peasants and soldiers and work
mems deputies of kronstadt, the
abolition of the private possession
of women.
Motives
Social inequalities and legitimate
marriage having been a condition in
the past which served as an instrr-
ment in the hands of the bourgeoisie,
thanks to which all the best species
of all the beautiful have been The
property Of the bourgeoisie, have
prevented the proper continuation Of
the human race. Such pordcrous
arguments have induced the present
organization to cdct the following
decree:
81. From March 1st the right to
possess women having reached the
ages II to so is abolished.
-. The age of women shall be
determined by birth certificate or
passports or by the testimony of
witnesses, and on failure to produce
documents their age shall be deter
mined by the Black Committee who
shall judge them according to ap-
pearance.
SO. This decree does not affect
women having five children.
In Case of Resistance

husband he shall forfeit the right Of

Germans seem to be spccnlating upon

surprise.

Wait on Future Events

Are the Allies prepared TO recog-

he was then asked. HIS answer was:
"lf the results of the recent election
are carried out in due form there is
no reason why it should not be rccog-
nized in the ordinary way
The position of the French with re-
gard to the league Of nations gives
special Importance to the declarations
Of NJ. Pichon. He said that France
had not the slightest intention of
weakening the unanimity with which
the draft of the covenant went before
the peace conference, but that Leon
Bourgeois had pointed out certain ad-
ditions to the text which were desir
able for the strengthening of guaran-
tees, and that a movement toward Sc
curing these additions certainly would
be made.
The situation as he explained it was
that the draft had been unanimously
agreed to by the powers represented
on the commission, and it remained for
the peace conference itself to see
whether it could be improved. Anv
power may introduce an amendment,
which will be referred to the league
Of nations commission and later re-
ported to the conference.
