ter was written by Secretary Baker
after cabled instructions from Gen.
Bliss in Paris. Gen. Bliss was in

a secret from the public. The letter to
Senator Chamberlain follows:
MY DEAR SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN:
I have just received cablegram
from Gen. Bliss sent by the Presi-
dents direction In which l am told
that the President has approved tho
sending of two American railway
companies to Murmansk for the fol-
lowing objects:
/. To assure greater safety during
this winter of the allied forces both
along Murmansk and at Archangel
and south OF Archangel;
2. To supply much better and II
necessary reinforce from, Murmansk
the advanced detachments south of
Murmansk and Archangel;
3. TO facilitate the prompt with
drawal of American and allied troops
In northern Russia at the earliest pos
sible moment that weather conditions
in the spring will permit.
Allies Are NotiHed.
The President has directed me TO
communicate the foregoing to the
heads OF the allied Governments.
which ! have done, The President
desires that his action and the rea-
sons for II be communicated to the
Military committees of the Senate and
House for their information.
In addition to the foregoing Gen.
Bliss advises me that the British
Government Is sending force OF
about 2,400 men to Murmansk, and
that they have requested the cooper
alton OF the President to the extent
OF two companies of railway troops
above referred to. The desire for the
railway troops is based upon the fact
that supplies and reenforcements for
Archangei during the winter have TO
go by railroad south from Murmansk
10 a point near the southern extreme
OF the White Sea. and that the oper-
alton of this railroad Is believed by
the British to be absolutely necessary
TO guarantee the prompt movement OF
reenforcements and supplies to Arch
angel and the troops south of Arch
angel. Gen. Bliss also informs me
that the British military authorities
do not feel any apprehension as to the
military situation at ArchangeL
In accordance with the direction OF
the President transmit this infor-
nation TO the Senate Committee on

This statement was issued tonight by
Senator Johnson after he had read the
letter OF Secretary Baker;
When on December 2 last we COM
menced the agitation for the return OF
our troops in Russia for the sole pur-
pose of saving the lives OF American
boys there we had little sympathy and
less support After more than two

OF the Government. the denial of in
formation of any sort either to Con-
gress or to the people, comes to-day's

detract from my very great gratifica-

Pv IL, Associated Press.

PARIS. Feb. 17.-The Germans have
accepted the new armistice terms
which, it is understood, provide for the
continuation Of the blockade during
the armistice.
The permanent armistice carries all
the old terms and some new ones.
Marshal Foch appeared in person
before the council Of the great Powers
to-day and announced the acceptance
and the signing by the Germans Of the
new conditions of the armistice.
The signing took place at o'clock
Sunday evening on board Marshal
Foch's private car at Treves.
The various suggestions that had
been made in German Government and
diplomatic circles to the effect that
sitter armistice terms would not be
acceptable to Germany amounted to
nothing more tangible. when the time
for signing arrived, than the presenta-
ton Of two notes to Marshal Foch by
Matthias Erzberger, head OF the Ger
man Armistice Commission.
Ask Use of Merchant Marine.
These notes contained several re-
quests, including one that German
prisoners of war should be released
and another that economic intercourSe
between Germany and the occupied
German territories should be per
mitted. The Germans also asked the
privilege Of using their mercantile
marine for various purposes.
The most important change IN the
| terms involves the Poles. In this new
stipulation the Allies require OF Ger
many that she cease all offensive opera
tions against the Poles and there Is
also drawn new line of demarkation
between Germany and Poland. the new
boundary extending from a point on the
old border east of Grosser Neudorf, north
of Exin, north of Czarnkau. west Of
Birnbaum and Bentschen, thence to
Wollstein. LISA and north of Wieruszow
| and thence along the frontier between
Silesia and Poland.
This line of demarkatior gives TO
Poland a considerable part of the Ger
man government of Possn.
1t was provided by the allied terms
that the armistice must be renewed for
| an indeterminate period with a fixed de-
lay of three days for the deruuciation OF
| it. The old terms OF the armistice are
| to be carried out completely by Germany.

The new terms, while still withheld,
are understood to restrict German oper-
atoms against Poland within certain
fixed lines, thus removing the danger OF
a military clash. and at the same time
opening access between the interior of
Poland and the Baltic Sea.
But more important results will take
form shortly when Marshal Foch returns
to Treves for submission of the details

of the German forces which are being
formulated by the military. naval and
economic advisors of Marshal Foch
These are of nature amounting In fact
