The discussion of the armistice took
a wide range, including the failure to

Front' the French standpoint the
menace of such renewal is not past,
and it Is urged as matter of fore

limitation of the production of field
' aud heavy guns and an exact account

While some of the military com
manders tako the -vicwr that radical
measures are needed to assure the

tary Discussion
Lottuaa, Fell. 10. (British Wiieles
Service.) British Bewspapera of all
shades of opinio are devoting serious
attention to the attitude adopted by
tte German government toward the
armistice conditions.
The Daily News Paris correspondent
Muds a dispatch from "authoritative
sources on the subject in which he
says his informant told him that he bad
the best reason to believe that Ger
many is not continuing to demobilise.
She has now concentrated more than
IS divisions nnder Von Hindenburg on
the western front," the correspondent
quotes his informant as saying. "We
also have the best reasons to believe
that Germany is keeping her troops
nnder arm on the pretext ot economic
necessity. Some of the military au
thorities think that Germany 1st
sought more material to give necessary
armament to 3,000,000 men. German
demobilization is a condition to our
demobilization and therefore disband, 4
ment is impossible so long as Germany
does not continue to "demobilize,
Allied military authorities consid
er, tlie.tinie has Mt.anivediortier.l
many to giac up her military strength
lion that sne cannot resist later the
conditions of peace now being prepar
ed. The allied theory always has been
that we shall frame conditions which
Germany will have to accept, and that
there is nothing, to discuss except
regards details.
Won Id Renew Dlsnaaloa.
"For this reason, Germany is trying
to keep her military strength so that
she eaa send a delegate tq the pence
congress for a thorough military dis
cussion of the. peace condition impos
ed. On thia point the French, national
socialist party and - its extreme left
wing is strongly opposed -to anything
being done te- save Germany from the
consequences of defeat. In thia matter
the French government will be sup
ported by the entire nation."
The correspondent say be has been
informed by a competent British au
thority that Marshal Foch "made a dec
laration of a somewhat sericus charac
ter at a meeting, of the supreme war
council,"
Ue feels," this authority is quoted
as laying, that the Germans are be
ginning to forget that they are beaten.
They ar apt u forget that we are in a
stats, of war. They have been slow in
handing ever, transport and ! other
things. They are causing a great deal
of dif fietlty.
Germany Haa QoK- Demebllisinc.
"We are demobiliiing fast; they are
not continuing to demobilize. There Is
danger of Germany aaying we do not
care anything about your league of na
tion and we have got our troops.' Va
le change take place we' might be
faced with a aitoatipa in which Ger
many, as regards the number of men
in the field, will have three men as
against the allien two.
The question of demobilisation hat
beca takea up ly the supreme war
eduaeil. AU the teebaicat auviaer
have certainly beca ia favor of taking
what additional me jure may be ncee
sary to prevent any danger to th allies
