ENTIRE FLEET
Armistice Terms Amended Before
Being Signed.
18 ARTICLES CHANGED
State Department Receives and
Make Public the Amended
'.Articles.
Washington, Nov. . 12. Germany
loses her entire fleet of submarines
under the armistice terms as amended
by Marshal Foch before he signed
them with the German envoys Monday
morning. Instead of 180 vessels, every
one of the undersea 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 coun
cil and as read by President Wilson to
Congress were changed under the
limited authority for alterations given
the supreme commander in dealing
with the enemy envoys. The state de
partment , today received and made
.public the amended articles, with the
explanation that no information had
come as to how the changes were
brought about. Apparently most of
them were 1 conceded In response to
appeals of the German spokesman,
though several besides that touching
submarines make the terms more
drastic than before." V
Instead of 60.000 railroad cars to
be surrendered In evacuated territory,
the number Is made 150,000. On the
other hand, the number of machine
guns to be delivered by the Germans
is reduced from 30,000 to 25,000: Ger

out largely on a bails of the ability of

by the labor, war and navy depart

It was said today that the plan will
be submitted to President Wilson In
a few days.
The war industries boar A has sent
questionnaires to employers in all in

men, and the answers will show
where, when and how rapldlyjobs

struction and manufacturing, held up
and restricted because of war work,
and that thousands of skilled laborers
soon will be needed In all parts. of the
country for this work.
Secretary Baker said today that
every phase of demobilisation of the
army ls.be I ng carefully studied by war
department agencies, but as yet no
plan have been finally formulated.
The question of the number . of
American troops to be retained In
France or elsewhero In" Europe Is be
ing studied on that side, Mr. Baker
said, while the general staff is prepar
ing recommendations as to the num
ber to be kept under arms In this
country. The problem in Europe re
mains one of . Joint operation with
the allied nations in after-the-war
guarding and other work to bo done
by the military forces, and r-o con
clusions on this point can yet be
made.
Mr. Baker Raid several fuctors 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 service should be released first,
but the industrial situation and the
special need for men of a certain call
ing probably will modify the principle
of making length of service a guide to
order of muster out.
Taxes .imposed Last ' Year Not

McAdoo Warns' That They Will

More Loans Necessary.
Washington, Vov'? 12 Government
financial needs for many years are al
most certain to run above M, 000,000,

mate, and most of the money will be
raised by taxation. iConsequently stu

In June probably ,wU 4iot be lightened
materially by the advent of peace. -
Secretary McAdoo ; ; today warned
that taxes necessarily would be high
tfor many years to -pay off wan debts,
and that additional government loans
would be required. He did .not at
tempt to forecast how big the volume
of taxes would be.
RouKhly.. treasury officials and con
gressional leaders in charge of rev
enue' legislation figure this way:
. Ordinary . government expenses,
which ran around a billion dollars a
year before the war, now will amount
to at least (2,000,000,000 annually .for
many years, and -for two or three
years after the war may double that
figure. If the $14,850,000,000 of Lib
erty bonds already issued are Increas
ed in volume by later loans to l6,
000,000,000, the Interest 3n this sum
would amount to about $1,000,000,
000 a year. In addition, it probably
will be the government's policy to es
tablish 'a sinking fund to pay off the
bonds at maturity, and this would re
quire about $1,350,000,000 a year.
These three items would make an ag
gregate near $4.250,00.0,000.
To offset this, there would be nearlyi

a half-billion dollars coming in an

German Revolution Is Growing,
Not Waning, Says Simonds.
BIG PROBLEMS ARE AHEAD
First of All it ; Is Necessary to
Find a German Government
to Negotiate With.
BY FRANK H. SIMOXXS.

Special by telegraph.
New York, Nov. '12. The actual
signing of the armistice opens the way
to that peac congress of which the
world has been talking for the past
four yeare 4 v
In that period there 'has been a
growing appreciation of the fact that
a general settlement, comparable in
its magnitude to that ot Vienna in
1815, was inevitable when at last the
time came to liquidate? the present
struggle. s, .
What has never been properly per
ceived in this country is the magni
tude of the task and the obstacles
which make it almost Inevitable that
many, many months will elapse before
the signatures are written under the
definitive document the'reasOna why
& settlement even within the limits of
next year are slight in the extreme.

After the first abdication of Na-
Ipoleon, the victorious allies met In

of the hostilities from the signing of
the final settlement. In the Interim
there had been signed a treaty be
tween France and her enemies, the
treaty of Paris, executed promptly!
after Napoleon first abdication, but a
second treaty of Paris, following the
second abdication, was not signed un
til November 80. , -
Thus the settlement hunsr fire over
all the, period from April 7, 1814, to
November $0. 1415.
Conditions at Present.
In the present case we have to face
certain conditions which recall those
of 1814-15. First of all, it is necessary
to find a German government with
which to negotiate. In 1814 this was
supplied by the return of Louis XVIII.
Thanks to the aid of his brother sov
ereigns. Louis was able to take over
French administration with relatively
small difficulty, both in 1814 and
again In 1816. The fabric of govern
ment, was note destroyed; . there was
merely a. change in the sovereign, the
executive. . ,
. But in the case of Germany we have
something approaching a genuine
revolution auready, and there Is good
reason to believe that the disorder
may extend in-the following weeks.
In any event no government can be
more than provisional until there has
been a'German election, a submission
of the new . order to the people. With
any other governmenfthe allies must
hesitate to do business, lest It i be
repudiated later by the people. But
an i election can hardly come before
demobilization, .before evacuation of

The German gunfire was devas
