Terms Of the renewal of the 'armistice,
As presented to the Germans BY Mar

offensive movements against the
Poles, and also must prohibit her
troops from crossing the Russian from
tier at a certain line Marshal Foch
appeared In person before the council
II the great powers and announced the
acceptance and signing by the Ger
mans OF the new conditions Of the
arinistice. This aycrts what promised
TO be a rather critical situation. Ms 1t
had been reported that the Geridans
might persist IN carrying out their in
limations Of refusal TO sign.
The new terms, while still withheld,
are understood to restrict German op-
erations against Poland within certain
fixed lines, thus removing the danger
Of 4 military clash, and at the same
time opening access between the in
terror Of Poland and the Baltic sea.
More important results will take form
shortly when Marshal Foch returns
to Treves for submission Of the de-
tails Of the disarmament and dem0b-
ilizution of the German forces which
are being formulated by the military.
naval and economic advisers of Foch.
These are Of Il nature amounting In
fact to a preliminary peace agreement.
Disarmament Is understood to include
both the naval and military branches,
and the naval authorities expect the
ultimate naval terms will provide for

space in our Church was taken, and
at night, long before eight-thirty,
people had to be turned away. Two
hundred souls have been happily con-
verified and our brother leaves us for

We do not propose to analyze Mr..

that there Is another "schooi OF

might react upon tho Government OF

manding that other countries should
accord to people under the control Of
