TERMS IF PEACE ASSUMING SHAPE FOR SUBMISSION
Disarmament To 100000 Men-Ammunition Same Proportion-Greatly Re duced Navy-Aerial Craft Conditions Are Definite But Not Disclosed.

PARIS, March 6.-(Associated Press) Naval, political, military and aerial terms of German disarmament were before the council of the great powers today, with Premier Lloyd George. Marshal Foch and the full council of the war council present
 Most of the time was given to the naval terms, which were largely settled with some features still reserved,' in cluding the destruction of the large German ships.
 Premier Lloyd George has proposed to have England take part of these ships, but he yielded this view when shown that it would involve an in creased naval building program in the United States.
 As a result of the British and Amer ican agreement, and as @ result of har- monizing the French and Italian views It is possible that some of these ships will be apportioned to France and Italy, instead of being destroyed.
 As the terms for the dismautling of the Qualifications of Kiel canal were causing some discussion, the council adopted a motion referring the canal question to the committee on water ways. This commission will consider the entire subject, including the Amer ican reservations that the action on the Kiel canal should not be a precedent affecting American canals and water ways capable of being used for strat- egic purposes.
 Call For Proposals
 The council also adopted the Amer ican proposal requiring each commits sion to submit with its report the spe- cific form of an article to be presented in the peace treaty. The purpose is to give the council the specific terms, in stead of a lengthy report, from which the council may frame terms.
 The session tomorrow will be devoted to the military terms and the feeding of Bohemia, Jugo- Slavia, Austria and Germany. This question is regarded as increasingly urgent, as reports indi- cated that lack of food is spreading the revolutionary menace.
 Aside from the actual naval and mil itary terms under consideration, an i'm portant question has arisen as 10 whether these terms would be tenn porary, as incident to the close of the war, or permanent, holding Germany in subjection for an indefinite period.
 This last proposal has taken a def mite form as a means for curbing Germany for all time, so that she can not repeat the experiment after Ma poleon disarmed her. of rehabilitation of her force to defeat him later.
 How Far to Go Puzzles
 As a result of this feeling, some o these terms fosesee the control of dis armament considerably beyond tho period of the present war. This. 1T turn, has opened a large vista before the British and American delegates, oi possible commitments to occupation and the supervision of German af- fairs for an indefinite period. It als, has presented the delicate questie- how far a defeated nation should per manently lose it's national authority to administer affairs.
 In view of these questions, the
 limit of naval control has become more important than the terms them selves. This was partly discussed to- day. The actual terms as considered today, though not yet made public are summarized as follows;
 Disarmament down to 100000 men consisting of fifteen divisions of in fantry and five of cavalry, divided in to five army corps with one arm! headquarters. This makes each corp consist of three divisions of infantr, and one of cavalry, totalling fortl thousand men. The men are to O. chosen by lot for one years service and no class is to exceed 1S0,000 me-.
 The officers are to serve 9 year and b-officers 15 years.
 Navy to be Low Class
 Effective enforcement of this sys tenn is provided for. and eventual! the league of nations will determin' it's continuance or modification. Arms and ammunition arc restricted to a force of 100000 men, and tn balance is to be delivered or destroyed
 The naval terms provide similar dis l armament by a reduction of the Ger man fleet down to a limited basis sufficient for police defense, but will not figure among the navies o the first or second class. This sys tenn is to be for an indetcrminar period. with ultimate continuance 0 modification, probably under tn | league of nations.
