Paris, March 2.--Marshal Foch pre-) gented yesterday to-the Council of th Great Powers the military terms to be incorporated in the peace treaty. These will be considered on Monday with the naval terms already submit: ted to the Council. The military terms provide for the disarmament of Germany down to 20 divisions of 10,000 men each, includ- ing 15 divisions of infantry and five of cavalry, Severe restrictions are placed on the manufacture of all classes of war materials, and the military aad commercial usze of the airplane Is limited to the minimum. Beyond Marshal Foch's presentation of the terms to-day, they were not dis- cussed, . The naval terms now before the Council provide not only for the com- plete suppression of Germany's sub- marine equipment but also for the ter- mination of all submarine warfare by all nations throughout the world, thus ending the use of the submarine in naval warfare. The provision for the dismantling of the fortifications of Heligoland and Kiel Canal has been made the subject of reservation by Admiral Benson. re- presenting the United States, whereby this shall not be a precedent applic. able to American canal and harbor PT | London, March 2.~The possible fall of the German Government is reported in numerous special despatches re- "ceived to-day from Berlin. The mem- Ders of the Government have arrived at Berlin to consult with the Work- men's Council, and a manifesto has been issued. All the correspondents represent the situation as grave, The Weimar manifesto denounces the ter rorist attempts to get rid of the Nation. al Assembly. It proclaims faithful ness to the principles of Democracy. "Greater than the political danger Ms the economic distress," says the manifesto. "We cannot feed ourselves from our own supplies until the next harvest. The blockade is eating away the vitals of our people. Thousands perish daily from ill-mourishment." The manifesto denounces strikes, saying: "Hvery strike brings us a step nearer to the abyss. Only work can save us." The" manifesto promises the sociali- zation of suitable industries and the establishment of industrial councils re- presentative of all the workers and freely elected. It closes with a strong note, asserting the determination of tho Government to wage relentless PTE ANAT Berlin Papers Have Suspended--Greater Part of Labor _manding a General Strike--Reign of Terror - Seems Imminent, . ~~ war against torforism, conelnd "Whoever assails the life of nation is our enemy." Th Berne, March 2,--The situation in Germany is declared as most critical everywhere, in messages received here yesterday. The general strikes are extending more and more, especially in Central Germany, where disorder is Increasing and railway traffic has part: ly stopped. Interruption' of telegraph and telephone services is reported from various centres. Fears are felt by the authorities that a reign of ter- ror is about to begin in Erfurt, Gera, Greiz and Halle, It is reported also that the Bolsheviki dangor is growing in Eastern Silesia. 3 Beriin, March 2--Berlin newspa pers with the exception of the Social ist organs, were. prevented from ap. pearing Saturday as a result of the sudden strike proclaimed: to-day. It is uncértain whether this strike is 2 prelude to a rgeneral political strike for which a large part of Berlin laboy is agitating, or whether it is due te trade demands, Fear Is expressed in some quarters, however, that the present situation may be a spark ig the political powder barrel, ALLIES" FOOD SUPPLIES LARGE Owing to Sudden End of War There is Considerable Surplus. A despatch from Ottawa says:--- Information reaching Government circles in Ottawa from London shows that the extensive precautionary measures taken to build up the food reserve, which was vital to the allied cause as a counter-move to the men- ace of the German "U" boat, was so successful that there are temporarily, | owing to the sudden ending of the war, considerable surpluses of some) classes of foods. The stock of beans on hand is very large. In reply to an inquiry as to the possibility of disposing of the Cana- dian bean crop in Europe, it was sta- ted that the supply in Great Britain was enough for three years. This will now be available for distribution | in other countries, includ'ng Rou-| mania, and until after these supplies are liquidated the prospect for the defences such. as Hell Gate, Cape Cod Canal and others. The proposal for the destruction of the large German warships is ap- proved in the report by the British and American naval officials, but the French still make reservations agdinst the destruction of these ships. The Supreme Council is expected to "pass on this and other naval and mili- tary subjects on Monday. en fp et em et POLES AND GERMANS ARE STILL FIGHTING A despatch from Warsaw-Says:- Skirmishes, between Poles and Ger-, mans continue, Some fighting was witnessed by Col.
