Terms Affecting Huns
Navy and Army Are About
Settled by Council

PARIS, March Cby the Associated
Press) The military, naval and aerial
terms OF German disarmament were
before the council of the great pow
ers today, with Premier Lloyd George
back as head of the British delegation.
Marshal Foch and the full member
ship of the war council present. Most
of the time was given to the naval
terms. which were largely settled.
with several features still reserved.
including the destruction Of the large
German ships.
Premier Lloyd George was disposed
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 American view in agree
rnent and as :. means of harmonizins
the French and Italian views, it is
possible that some of these ships viii
be apportioned TO France and Italy
instead of being destroyed.

Kiel Dismantling Referred.

AS the terms for the dismantling OF
the fortifications Of Kiel canal were
causing some discussion, the council
adopted a motion referring the kiei
question to the commission on water
ways. This commission VIII now con-
slider the whole subject, including the
American reservations that the action
on the Kiel canal shall not be prec-
edent affecting American canals and
Waterways capable of being used for
strategic purposes.
The council also adopted the Ameri-
can proposal requiring each commits
sion to submit with its report the
specific form of an article TO be pre-
sented in the peace treaty. The pur
nose of this is TO give the council the
specific terms of a subject, instead of
a lengthy report, from which the
council may frame terms.
The session tomorrow will be de-
voted to the military terms and the
feeding of Bohemia, Iugoslayia. Aus
tria and Germany. This question OF
feeding IS regarded as increasingly
urgent as reports reaching the Brit
ish and American delegations indicate
that lack of food is spreading the
