AVERSE TO GIVING UP
To- THE ANARCHISTS
Ambassador Francis Wants America
to Keep a Garrison at
ArchangeI

Washington, March 3.-Speaking
Of the Russian problems, Ambassador
David R. Francis in an interview ex-
pressed the view that the American
troops in North Russia should on no
account be withdrawn.
''The American boys at Archangel
are well provided for, are not suffer-
ing,sand have the same high spirit
which enabled America to lend the
conquering force on the western
front" he said. at would be a mis-
take to withdraw these troops, as the
Russians who are friendly to the
Allies and to America would become
Immediately victims of the Bolsheviki.
And the great majority of the people
Of Russia are friendly to US; the Boil
sheviki control only a very small
minority"

TERMS FOR TEUTONS

to Resume MiIitarism

Paris, March 2-(By the Associat-
ed Press .l-Marshal Foch presented
yesterday 20 the council of the great
powers the military terms TO be incor-
Porated IN the peace treaty. These
VIII De considered MONDAY, with the
naval terms already submitted to the
council.
Inc military terms provide for the
disarmament OF Germany down to
twenty divisions OF 10000 men each.
including ifteen divisions of infan-
try and five OF cavalry. Severe re-
stricuons are placed on the manufac-
ture OF all classes of war materials
and the military ana commercial use
or the airplane Is limited to the min
lmum.
Beyond Marshal Foch's presenta-
tion OF the terms they were not dis
cussed.
The naval terms now before the
council provide not only for the COM
plete suppression of Germany's sub
maxine equipment. but also for the
termination of all submarine warfare
by all nations throughout the world,
thus ending the use of the submarine
in naval warfare.
The provision for dismantling the
fortifcations of Helgoland and the
Kiel canal has ben made the subject
OF reservation by Admiral Benson,
representing the United States,
whereby this shall not be a precedent
applicable to American canals and
parts of defenses such as Hell Gate,
Cape Cod canal and others.
The proposal for the destruction Of
the large German warships is approx
ed in the report by the British and
American naval authorities, but the
French viii make reservations against
the destruction of these ships.
The supreme council is expected to
pass on this and other naval and mil
itary subjects on Monday.
British View of Why Hun Ships
Should be Sunk
London (via Montreal), March a.
Concerning the fate of surrendered
German warships, Reuters. Limited
has been given the following official
information:
First. That it would take three
years to break up the ships and the
junk would bring about $2,O00,000.
Second. That any country taking
over the, ships would be faced with
insuperable obstacles to find spare
parts.
''Third. The ships now are obso-
lete.
Fourth. Their use as merchant
ment is impossible, owing TO their
enormous coal consumption and the
difficulty of adapting their interiors
to merchant use.
Fifth The idea Of sinking the
ships for breakwater purposes has
been proved impracticable by expert
ments at Scapa Flow.
"Sixth. If the ships are divided,
some basis of division must be found.
It has been suggested that they be
divided according to losses in the war
on the basis of the present naval
strength Of the powers"
