blooded murders, including the shoot
ing of some so detectives, by the Spar
tacan forces, was told, under oath, by
a government soldier who had been

The prisoners, the soldier asserts.

ALLIED TERMS To
CRIPPLE GERMANY
ALLIES WILL CUT HUN ARMY
DOWN TO LESS THAN swift
ERLAND'S TOTAL FORCE.
MAY LOSE 100000 PEOPLE
Larger Part of Work Being Completed
In Paris Will Give Character To
Europe and the World For -
Century To Come.

Paris.-Military Germany will &C
out of existence as the result of the
adoption by the supreme council of the
military terms of German disarma
ment as they will go into the peace
treaty. These terms provide for a
sweeping reduction of the German mil
itary establishment down to 100, 00o
men, with 1000 officers, the army to
be recruited by the voluntary system
for II years. The effect of this is to
limit Germany's military strength tc
less than the number of men Switzer-
land has in her army.
During President Wilson's absence
in America the lines OF the new treaty
of Versailles have been, on the larger
side, drawn and substantially agreed
to. The fourth of the great European
settlements, counting the treaty of
Westphalia and the treaties of Ut.
recht and of Vienna, is now known in
outline. If one may judge from past
great settlements, the larger part OF
the work which is now being complet-
ed in Paris will endure and give form
and character to Europe and to the
world for century to come.
Most important of all the depart
ments of what will be the peace of
Versailles is the decision with respect
to Germany This decision as to the
frontiers is as follows:
Germany will hereafter stop at the
Rhine and at the old western frontier
of Poland preceding the first partition
OF 1872. In addition. Germany will
lose the Danish-speaking populations
of Schleswig and the Polish-speaking
population of Upper Silesia. By con
trast, she will probably acquire the
purely German regions of Austria, the
old provinces which were victims of
the Hapsburg empire when it began
its process Of expansion many centu.
ries ago.
Expressed in statistics, Germany
will lose between 10000 and 10000
square miles of territory, with pop
ulation of between 13 100000 and IA,
100000 and will acquire between 90,
600 and 10000 square miles, with a
population of 1000, 900. This means
that Germany will in any event suffer
a net loss of 10000 square miles of ter
ritory and upward of 100000 people
Instead of $4,000 square miles, her
area before the war, which was slight:
ly in excess Of that of France, she
will have about $4,000 square miles;
and instead of a population of 67,00e,.
00e, a population of 60,000,000.

Italy has thousands of orphans, made

from their homes by the German inva
