WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Germany
oses her entire fleet of submarines
under the armistice terms as amended
by Marshal Foch before he signed them
Lvith the German envoy, Monday morn-
ng. Instead of 160 vessels, every one
if the under-sea pirate craft must be
surrendered to the allies and the United
States, within 14 days.
Eighteen of the articles as originally
Prepared by the supreme war council
nd as read by President Wilson to
'ongress were changed under the Uni
ted authority for alteraton given to
he supreme commander in dealing
w ith the enemy envoys.
The State Department today received
and made public the amended articles
with the explanation that no informa
tion had come as to how the changes
were brought about.
Concessions Made to Germans.
Apparently most of them were con
ceded in response to appeals . of the
iGfrman spokesmen, though several be-
fdes that touching -submarines make
khe terms more drastic than before.
Instead of 50,000 railroad cars to be
surrendered in evacuated territory, the
number is made 150,000.
On the other . hand, the number of
pnachine guns to be delivered by the
k3ermans Is reduced from 30.000 to 15
000; the German troops in East Africa
art permitted to evacuate instead of
being required to surrender; provision
made for considering food needs in
Germany in the taking of means of
transportation, and a specific reference
to the regulation of repatriation o
German prisoners of war at the con
clusion of peace is added.
Time Extension (.ranted.
In response to the German fear of
anarchy in occupied Russian provinces
after evacuation, the time of evacua
tion Is changed from immediately to
"as soon as the allies, taking into ac
count the internal situation of these
territories, shall decide that the time
for this has come."
Territories which belonged to Aus
tria-Hungary before the war are added
to those which must be evacuated.
Another additional clause provides
for an armistice commission to which
Germans will be admitted to carry out
details under decision of the victorious
military heads and in accordance with
appended notes, which were drafted
during the conference between Marshal
I'och and the German delegates.

President Wilson has had the terms
as drafted by the supreme war council
and approved by the allied premiers
and Colonel House in his hands since
a jweek ago yesterday, when they were
cabled upon their completion. He pre
pared his address, including the terms
and read it to Congress before Marshal
Koch reported the document as actual

WAR RECONSTRUCTION.
By The Associated Press.
THE guns everywhere are mute.
Hostilities have given way to
preparations by the defeated eneiqfr to
evacuate ail invaded territory In ac
cordance with the terms of the armis
tice and by the entente forces to take
up the strategic positions assigned to
them in order that the foe may be un
able to resume fighting.
Although the British, Belgian. French
and American armies have rested on
their arms, they, nevertheless, are on
the alert for any eventuality. And thus
it Is purposed they shall remain until
the peace which will make the world
safe for democracy has arrivad.
As the German armies in the west
wend their way backward across the
Rhine defeated, comes the cry from
Germany for an early peace. Ktarva-
on faces the war-torn empire. Ger
many, which once boasted that it would
throw a circle of iron about the British
sles and starve the people into sub
mission, today is beginning to beg not
alone for peace, but for bread.
Magnanimity lies in the outstretched
ands of the allies. The German peo
ple are' not to be permitted to perish
for want of food. Sustenance is to be
iven them, but in doing so undue pri
vations are not to be visited upon the
peoples of the devastated countries over
which the Germans haVe swept.
In Germany proper the new govern
mental regime apparently is holding
way. Internal strife seemingly has
nded except for a mutiny by he sail
rs. It is apparent that the northern
fleet and Heligoland, the island bastion
defending the coast of Northern Ger
many, are in the hands of mutineers
who have called upon the sailors to de
fend the country against the "unheard-
f presumption" contained In the allies
rmlstice terms.
Amendments to the armistice terms to
Germany show that the allies are more
xacting in their demands than was at
irst reported. The Teutons are to be
stripped of all their submarines, those
wolves of the sea which have caused
uch devastation, instead of 160, as first
was stipulated.
A reduction in the quantity of some
f the military equipment to be deliv-
red was made, but instead of 50,000
railroad cars, 150,000 must, be sur
rendered. The treaties of Bucharest
nd Brest-Ldtovsk, it is stipulated, must
be renounced and the evacuation of the
Rhinclands on both sides of the river
shall be completed within 31 days. The
countries on the left ban of the Rhine
are to be administered by the control
of the armies of occupation.
It is reported again that Charles.
Emperor of Austria and King of Hun

7.1RICH, Nov. 12. (By The Asso
ciated Preaa.) A republic wan pro
claimed at Berlin on Saturday, accord-ins-
to advleea received from Munich,
COPENHAGEN, Nqv. 11. Out of the
political chaos in Germany a republic
appears to be emerging. Control at
present is vested largely In soldiers'
councils, but progress toward substan
tial government Is indicated by the
fact that Philipp Scheidemann. the
Socialist leader, has proclaimed from
the steps of the Reichstag building
that the foundation of a German re
public has been established.
The revolution coi.tinues to spread
and Kaiserism appears to be capitulat
ing the length and breadth of the
country.
Advices from Bremen say that the
entire German Northern fleet and the
island base of Helgoland are in the
hands of soldiers' councils, according to
a telegram from Bremen.
Bonrceoiae All Barred.
Germany's new provisional govern
ment will be all red, that is to say,
th bourgeoise parties will not be rep
resented in it. This will not be because
of their unwillingness to participate.
but because the Socialists definitely
refused to permit the bourgeoise to en
ter the new government.
The plaii is to give the Independent
Socialists the Vice-Chancellorship and
two other secretarial positions. There
are indications, however, that inde
pendents will demand more.
The Soldiers" and Workmen's Coun
cil, in a dispatch telling of the confisca
tion of the Lokal Anzeiger and the
Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zcitung by
the Socialists, says:
'All the Socialist factions in Berlin
now have a daily newspaper."
Bolshevik! Gain Recognition.
This remark carries deep signifi
cance, as it Is the first recognition of
the "Spartacus" group, or Bolsheviki,
as a distinct Socialist faction.
The Spartacus adherents heretofore
represented a small branch of the Inde
pendent Socialists. That they are now
reckoned as a party for themselves
appears to indicae a growth In the
Bolsheikl strength of such proportions
that it must be reckoned with.

GOVERNMENT TO FIND

INDUSTRIES TO ABSORB MEN AS
THEY ARE DEMOBILIZED.
Employer Throughout Country to
Inform Authorities What Are
Needs in Labor Line.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. Demobili
zation of men in the military and naval
service of the United States after their
return from France will be carried out
largely on a basis of the ability of
trade and occupations to absorb them,
under a plan being worked out by the
Labor, War and Navy Departments and
the War Industries Board. It was said
today that the plan will be submitted
to President Wifcon soon.
The War Industries Board has sent
questionnaires to employers in all in
dustries asking the- needs of each for
men, and the answers will show where,
when and how rapidly Jobs will be
ready for discharged soldiers and
sailors and what trades art most in
need of them.
The War Labor Policies Board and
the United States employment service
will be combined to handle the Labor
Department's end. The War Depart
ment is expected to establish a new
bureau or to convert the activities of
Provost Marshal - General Crowder's
office to this end.
The question of the number of Amer
ican troops to be retained in" France
or elsewhere in Europe Is being studied
on that aide. Secretary Baker said,
while the general staff is preparing
recommendation as to the number to
be kept under arms In this country.
- Mr. Baker said several factors will
govern the order in which men will be
released from the Army. It is obvious.
he said, that, as a matter of Justice,
men who had been longest In the serv
ice should be released first, but the
Industrial situation will modify, this
principle.
Labor employment officials assert
that the demobilization of the 4.000,00
men now under arms at home and over
seas and the conversion of Industry to
its peace status will not cause any
serious problem of unemployment.
BELGIANS TO BE ON GUARD
Neutrality "Guaranteed" by "Scrap
of Paper" Not Wanted In Future.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. The Bel
gian legation, in an official statement
today, announced that Belgium will no
longer submit to a status of "guaran
teed neutrality" like that which existed
berore the war. It aspires to 'com
plete Independence; tp the rights com
mon to all free peoples."
A return to the "statin.' quo of 1S3V
the statement said, will entail a per
petual Intrusion by Germany upon the
domestic life of the nation and create
a situation "Intolerable to public opln
Ion and certain to cause serious diffi
culties."

LONDON. Wednesday. Nov. C In
praising the work of the American Ex
peditionary force. In an editorial to
day, the Morning Post says:
"Of the gallant-and decisive deeds
now unfolding on tne western front,
not the least conspicuous appears to
be the achievements of the American
Army In the critical Meuse sector. At
any other moment, those achievements
would have been certain of deserved
celebration.
"The American troops, only newly
trained, inheriting no long military
tradition and moulded by no Ironbound
system, have faced and have overcome
the pick of the German legions.
"The cost doubtless has been heavy
but the result Is amazing.
"In this country we have never
doubted as to how the American aol
dler would prove himself In the field.
but it is not too much to say that the
most confident expectations have been
surpassed. The rapidity and thorouah-
ness with which General Pershing's
men have adapted themselves to the
highly specialized conditions of modern
warfare have been a revelation. Indeed,
In their own phrase, they have made
good and lost no time about it.
"Whn the story Is written of these
last fateful days of the war it will be
recognized that the part played by the
men from the Cnited States haa been
neither the least honorable nor th
leas onerous.

By the calendar it was the second day

actual battle Is but a memory.
In Portland th city center captains
for the opening day of the drive were
forced to content themselves with re

they found the downtown district in
a diMinctly quieter mood and they
