The city council met in special SEES
sion Wednesday night with the mayor
and all councilmen present Bills
against the city were allowed and
several matters we're talked over in
formally. One OF these was to sell
or trade for other land the city's tract
of ground adjoining the Washington
school grounds This tract has been
held by the city for years with the
view of making a park out OF Il, but
owing to its location It is undesirable
for that purpose. II the tract could
be sold at fair price the idea Of the
council is to purchase a plot OF
ground for a park in a more central
location To do this Will require q
vote OF the people OF the city, and 1t Ii

to them at the coming city election

CERMANY'S ATTITUDE
IS GIVING CONCERN
Huns are Not Demobolizing Army on Western
Front-Now Has Concentrated More Than
18 Divisions Under Hindenburg.

They are apt to forget we are in
state of war. They have been slow
in handing over transports and other
things. They are causing a great
deal OF difficulty.
I'VE are demobilizrng fast; they
are not continuing to demobilize.
There Ia danger OF Germany saying,
we do not care anything about your
league OF nations. and we have got
our troops Unless a change takes
place we might be faced with a sit
uation in which Germany. as regards
the number OF men in the field. will
have three men against the allies two
Question Taken Up.
THE question OF demobilization
has been taken up by the supreme
war council. All the technical advis-
ers have certainly been in favor OF
taking what additional measures may
be necessary to prevent any danger
to the allies or their positions or any
danger of their not being able to die
tate what peace terms they please"
The correspondent in Paris OF the
Daily Mail credits Marshal Foch as
having said to the supreme war coun-
Gil that there were many instances Of
Germany's failure to comply with the
armistice terms, notably in the hand
ing over of artillery. submarines and
agricultural machinery.
AS evidence Of the German spir-
it," the correspondent continued,
Marshal Foch mentioned an occasion
when he summoned German
commission to meet him and they
failed to appear at the time and place
indicated. 1t was only after strong
pressure on his part that the meeting
eventually took place.
FOch's Estimate.
According to Marshal Foch's esti-
mate, the Germans are now capable
of placing an army of 100000 in
the field in two months time"
The correspondent adds: 1T is de-
sired to make a renewal of the wal
impossible under the conditions to be
laid down February IT. The terms
suggested include the handing oveI
OF the whole of the German artillery;
compulsory reduction of the German
army to twenty-five divisions with
machine guns for the internal polio
ing of the empire; and occupation BY
the allies of the Ruhr district, which
includes Essen.
During an important debate OF
these proposals the further sugges
tion was made that In view of Ger
many's attitude the allies should alst
revert to the initial demand for tn,
handing over Of transport, which wal
modified on account OF Germany
plea of impossibility.

London, Feb. 10.-British newspa-
,pers OF all opinions are devoting seri-
Gus attention to the attitude adopted
by the German governmnet toward
armisice conditions.
The Daily News Paris correspon-
dent sends a dispatch from author
ltative sources in which he says his
informant told him he had reason to
believe Germany is not continuing to
demobilize.
''She has now concentrated more
than eighteen divisions under. Won
Hindenburg on the western front, :"
the correspondent says. I'VE also
have the best reasons to believe Ger
many is keeping her troops under
arms on the pretext OF economic ne
cessity. Some military authorities
think Germany has sought more ma
terial to give necessary armament TO
5000, 900 men. German demobiliza-
tion Is q condition to our demobiliza-
tion, and, therefore, disbandment is
impossible 50 long as Germany does
not continue to demobilize.
ALLIED military authorities con-
slider the time has arrived for Germa-
ny to give up her military strength
that she be brought to such q condi-
tion that she cannot resist the condi-
ions OF peace now being prepared.
The allied theory always has been
that we shall frame conditions which
Germany will have to accept, and that
there is nothing to discuss. except az
regards details.
Foch Is Quoted.
''For this reason, Germany is try
ing to keep up her military strength
30 that she can send delegate to the
peace congress for thoroughly mill
tary discussion on the peace condi-
tions imposed On this point the
French National Socialist party and
its extreme left wing are strongly op-
posed to anything being done to save
Germany from the consequences OF
defeat. In this matter the French
government will be supported by the
entire nation"
The correspondent says he hal
been informed by competent British
authority that Marshal Foch made
a declaration OF somewhat serious
character at meeting OF the supreme
war council"
He feels" this authority is quot
ed as saying, that the Germans arr
beginning to forget they are beaten
