The labor clauses are not satisfac-

again proposes an international confer

ed proposals. the German proposals and
the Bernie resolutions.
A bitter protest Is entered against the

the demand Is made that allied troops

Under the heading THE Legal Basis
Of Peace the German delegates reca.

Oct, 5. 1918. and the armistice, Nov. Ii.
As a result OF these they consider that
Germany as a basis OF peace has ex-

of the terms of armistice, 1t is declared,
