Paris, Feb. 14.-The new armistice
terms now being framed up by the al
lied war council and the German
stituent assembly at Weimar are the
two chief subjects or comment in the
French press, and IN some of this
comment there is threat
The militarist newspapers here ask
for an additional clause in the armis-
tice treaty, calling for German de-
mobilization, disarmament and the
adoption of a constitution. Most edi-
torial writer's seem to agree that the
time has come for the allies 20 be
more severe toward Germany, particu-
larry from a military point of view.
In Premier Ebert's speech at Weimar
the French newspaper see a direct at
tempt on the part of the Germans to
divide the strong allied army of occu-
patton, which is now ready to cope
with any eventuality.
Germany Making Mum tons.
The Gaulois sounds a warning note
when it tells the allies that-and the
newspaper says it has irrefutable
proof that it's assertion is correct
the German factories continue to
turn out munitions and airplanes day

PertinaX, in the Echo de Paris, says

| Essen. should be closely watched.
Then he put some questions, after
showing that German unity still exists.

"In,perialism without an emperor
could not the Germans muster
some 100000 men in fifteen days? p
he asks. Are not few German fac
tories working secretly"
Finally, Pertinax urges the allies to
hurry in deciding the question of Ger
man frontiers, and says "Force is
the only language AVAILABLE on the
other side of the Rhine?''
He concludes his article with q SEN
tence limiting that the alles are not in
accord on the German question.
"You can be assured the French
government is doing its duty" he
adds.
Alfred Capus, of the French acad-
envy sums up in the Figaro the result
of the opening of the Weimar assem-
bly, thus Defeat has only scratched
the frame, but has not touched the
picture" of imperial Germany.
Criticism of Wilson Ideas.
Referring to TIbert's remarks that
Germany signed the armistice in ac-
cordance with the Wilsonian princi-
pies. Capus partly agrees, saying:
THAT is the Inconvenience of gen.
eral principles when they extend be-
yond the purely moral domain when
they pretend to settle all the affairs of
humanity. 1t is evident that if Ger
man peace can be the outcome of
Preeidert Wilson'S principles, they
need not be strained to bring about a
French peace"
Ebert's hope that German Austria
will henceforth form part of Ger
many is looked upon suspiciously here.
The French press again warns the al
lied governments against this step,
asking them to interfere to prevent
the union of these two countries.
The French socialist press, as
usual, takes a different viewpoint on
all these questions. Publishing the
full text of Ebert's speech. EHu-
manit which is the partys organ,
considers it as vocing German nation

that the German republican program,
as outlined by Ebert. should have al
lied approval and support.
