over Terms
ERzBERGER, HEAD OF ARMisTlcE
DELEGATION, GIVES REASONS
FOR ACCEPTING TERMS.
House Listens With Almost Aaonized
Silence AS Leader Reads the Terms
and Tells of the Details Of the Me-
Qotiations With Foch.

Weimar.-The party speeches in the
National Assembly suffered rude inter
ruption by the outcome of the new
armistice negotiations.
The general outlines of the new
terms were known early, and it was no
surprise when President Fehrenbach
announced that the speeches and argu-
ments would be deferred so that Ma
thias Erzberger, head of the German
larinistice delegation, might give per-
planation OF what happened
Ebetween his departure for Treves last
week and his Unexpectedly quick re-
| turn
Erzberger, noticeably wrought up
and ,laboring under strain, began
with the announcement that the dele
gates were entitled to know at the ear
liest moment the full details of the ne
gotiations He then read the terms
and the House listened in almost ago
!, nized silence. The slightest stir OF
noise brought angry Kisses; the AS
sembly never had been one tenth Sc
still.
The members stirred uneasily as he
finished and stopped for breath. Be
fore continuing his explanation Err
berger INTERCEPTED:
1T is my wish that you may never
have the fateful hours have had. We
on the Armistice Commission have had
to bear untold responsibility"
He then referred to the unfortunate
weH-nigh fatal, delay in the arrival OF
the terms at Weimar, and went into
details on Marshal Fochs ultimatum
which he said he was assured was
framed with the unqualified approval
of President Wilson.
Erzberger told of his efforts to se-
cure notifications, but said Marshal
Fech had been sternly insistent on the
acceptance Of the terms.

BILLION BUDGET
FOR ARMY PASSED
Annual Military Appropriation
Measure Is Approved by
the House.
FORCE or 100000 BEATEN
Voluntary EnIlstments for One Year
Provided--To Have Peace Army
Of $4,000.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The annual
military appropriation bill, totaling
more than $1,OOO,000OO0, was passed
by the house after the legislative rider
providing for the recruiting of tenn
porary army up to total strength
of 100000 men and $4,000 officers had
been eliminated under point Of or
der against new legislation In an ap'
propriafion bill.
In lieu Of this provision the house
passed a bill previously approved by
the senate restoring voluntary enlist
ments in the regular army. An amend
ment was added reducing the term OF
enlistment during the coming year
from three years to one year and do
ing away with the four-year period
of service in the reserve. aS
viii Be Recruited Abroad.
The effect, If enacted into law in
this manner, will be to revert to the
national defense act, providing a
peace time regular army Of 175,0OO,
four months after the signing of peace
terms. BY reducing the enlistment
period to one year, the expectation is
that it will be possible to recruit as
much of an army as needed abroad
from the ranks of the soldiers now
there.
No Cut in Pay.
Another amendment to the enlist
ment bill stipulates that the same rate
of pay of soldiers as has prevailed
during the war shall be continued.
The rule making in order considera-
ton of the legislative rider Of the APP
preparation bill providing enlistment
of a temporary army of 100000, as
recommended by the rules committee,
was supported by practically the en-
tire Democratic side Of the house, in
Guiding Chairman Dent of the military
affairs committee.
: It was explained by members of the
house that the bill did not affect the
present wartime army, which, under
the selective service act, must be de-
modified within four months after
peace is formally declared by presi-
Dental proclamation.
