Supreme Var Council
Completes Final Draft
OF Military Treaty

PARIS, Feb. 22.-The Supreme War
Council has completed the main detail
Of the military treaty which Marshal
Foch will soon present to the Germans.
1t will be further perfected in detail at
meeting of the council on Monday
and then finally passed upon by the
council of the great powers Tuesday.
This document is highly important,
being in its terms a permanent armis-
tice but in effect military treaty, dis
arming and demoblizing the German
forces down to small police basis,
understood to be between five and ten
divisions of 10000 men each, with a
similar complete naval and aerial dis
armament and the dismantlement of the
frontier Notifications as we'll as Helgo-
land and the Kiel Canal
The economic and boundary questions
with Germany are left for later deter
mination, but from the military and
naval standpoint this treaty will be
completely effective in terminating the
war, making impossible any resumption
of it. The treaty will also have the
effect of releasing all the Allied troops
except in the established areas to be
occupied until the defnitive peace
treaty is signed.
This military treaty will be so effec-
tive in ending the possibility of hostili-
ties that it is construed in some quar-
tiers as definitely ending the war,
although there may still be the techn-
cal question whether the final ending of
the war does not await the signing of
the final treaty of peace.

Cecil Declares League
Is Sure to Tone D0,Un
Belligerency of World

LONDON. Feb. 22.-~Lord Robert
Cecil, in an interview with Reuters
Limited before his return to Paris to
attend the sessions Of the peace con
ference, admitted that it is absurd to
suggest that the mere signing Of the
league of nations covenant would then
aud there produce "A millennium, but
if given a fair chance, he said it would
certainly produce better international
atmosphere.
"The unanimity of the conference
makes it certain that the league will
be established as soon AZ the peace
prelimnarcs are signed. The league
will comprise not only the Allies, but
all neutral nations with stable govern
ments that care to join it.
almost everything, except the seat
of the league, has been decided, and
no difficulty need be anticipated regard
ing the fact that the decisions OF this
league will, generally speaking, only
be binding If unanimously arrived at.
"Jhe excluding OF the parties direct
~ concerned in any dispute will be en-
forced by the whole economic and mill
tary poWer Of each Of the nations Of
the league, and permanent naval and
military commission win be established

Taft has been running around
with Frank Walsh so long that he
has caught some of the disease. In
his frame of mind he is fine ex-
pert to be telling US what to do in
politics. About all fellow needs
to do to get right is to find out what
Taft IS doing and then hit the trail
the other way.
Il hope the Senate won't tie US up
so as to send any more of our boys
to North Russia to fight in countries
we think ought to be let alone. 1t
Will be time enough for the United
States to dip in when somebody
threatens us or interferes with our
affairs. Don't max no mistake
about following Taft to wind up in

British Newspapers
Expect German Fleet
Will Be DESTROYED

LONDON, Feb. 22.-The proposal to
sink the German warships now in the
Scapa Flow, it is now generally stated
in the English newspapers, is practi-
cally certain to be accepted by the
peace conference. 1t is also proposed,
it is said, to raze the island of Helgo-
land to the water level. According to
The Mall both proposals which
wginated in the British Admiralty,
will be discussed at Paris in the next
few days.
The destruction of the shiDs is advo-
Gated on the ground that their division
among the victors would cause heart
burnings. The vessels, numbering five
battle cruisers. eleven battleships,
eight cruisers, fifty destroyers, prob
ably will be escorted by Allied
fleets to a deep part of the Atlantic
westward of the Scapa Flow and there
sunk. The question OF dealing with
the surrendered submarines will be
considered separately -whether they
shall be sunk or preserved.
Another point for which the British
naval delegates will press at the peace
conference, says "The Mail" will be
the razing of Helgoland. This would be
astupendous undertaking, ss the island
is about oneffth of mile square and
at Its highest point 100 feet, while the
coast Is fortified with concrete and
steel.
