FOCH GAVE The
: GERMANS MORE
Time TO DECIDE
Disarmament Question Not
Raised But Erzberger
Makes Statement.
Declares German Army now
Consists Of Only 200,-
600 Troops.

Trevesl Monday, Feb. 17.-When
.Marshal Foch presented the new
Rrmistice terms to the German COM
mission on Friday he was requested
to permit the Germans to communi-
cate with Weimar. Marshal Foch told
the Germans that, as the disorgantza-
tion Of telegraph lines made it GER
tain there would be delay he would
give them until six o'clock Sunday
evening to take action. He told them
he would leave Treves at that time
and if the convention was not then
signed the armistice would expire at
s6 O'Clock Monday morning. The terms
were agreed to at $3.50 Sunday night
Although the disarmament question
was not raised. Matthias Erzberger,
one of the German commissioners,
volunteered a statement that the Ger
man army consisted of only 100000
men, forty per cent of whom were OF
doubtful value. He said that the Ger
man army had been demobilized too
quickly and that it was inadequate to
maintain order in the country. -
Apart from the conference, Err
berger made number of declarations,
= saying particularly that the political
future of Germany was fixed by Presi-
dent Wilson's fourteen points.
He asserted that Germany hence
forth would be new country, adding
that it would be genuinely democratic
and would Loyalty participate in the
league Of nations on the principle OF
political and economical equality. He
said that Germany was ready to agree
to disarmament on land and sea and
in the air.
Erzberger admitted that Germany
made a mistake in 1871 when she did
not consult the people of Alsace and
Lorraine as to their fate. He expressed
the hope that France would not make
the same mistake in annexing Ger.
mans without calling plebiscite.

SENATOR SCORES
 NATIONS LEAGUE

SEATTLE, Apr, 17-Senator Miles Poindexter addressed a very large audience in this city last night, relative to the League of Nations
 He condemned the league in scathing terms, referring to it as war league, and a league to en- force peace by coercive methods Its terms and purposes, the senator declared, were at variance and ab- horrent to the terms of the Ameri- can Declaration of Independence.
 Concluding lengthy arraign- ment and condemnation of the terms of the League of Nations, the senator told his hearers that the league was based on force, and that it's intent was the creation of a force which would throw the world into slavery, while few great European powers would remain in control.

BE GIVEN CONTROL Al
 CONSTANT|NOPLt

Associated Press Summary, Apr, l7.-Germany will be forced to ac- cept or reject the Allied peace terms by May 18th, No reply to the Allied terms is expected from Germany before May 9th.
 No intimation of the final peace terms imposed on Germany by the Allies will be made public before they have been given to Germany.
 The conference is now consider ing the proposition of making the United States sponsor for Armenia, for the purpose of protecting the Armenians and helping them to or ganize T stable form of government, unfettered by Turkish suzerainity as heretofore.
 The Allies may also ask America to control Constantinople. This suggestion appeals to some of the American peace commissioners.
