They obviously arc base.1 upon prt ce dent, nnd In particular upon the prece dent of 1871 They nrc severe anil ful fill the essential conditions of any dntls faeiory armistice In that they make. It Impossible for 'tho enemy to renew hos tilities except by some such mad and desperate freak ns a communist rlslns. It Is obvious Hint, seeing what the internal conditions of Germany are to day nnd what they may be In the near future, wo can relax no precautions The Allies have now at their disposal a weapon to enforce the fullllhnent of tho engagements which the enemy has been called upon to take, such as no ylctor ever before possessed. With our troops In occupation of the Ithlneland there will be no part of rierm.iny which cannot be reached by our aircraft, which should serve ns an ailenuate vvarnltiB (should any Herman be mad rnouch In try to ralso the country nKnlnst the Allle?. Occupation of the llhlneland and Lor raine gives tho Allies control of tho most Important Industrial districts of ier many, of her principal coal nnd Iron mines and steel works. Including the famous KrUpp works at Kssen. This 1 a. further lery substantial guarantee. while the stipulations regarding the transfer to tho Allies of the large quan tities of rolling Mock In good order add yet another of no small Importance. From the military point of vlow. then, there can be no reasonable nvll at the work of the Versailles conference. There may be and probablv are thoe who would have wished to see the Clerman armies lay down tho whole of their arms nnil Ulndenburg compelled to sur render his sword to Marshal Fooli. but the outward and visible signs of her de feat are sufficient to Impress Germanv for all time and to destroy forever the illusion which she formed In 1870 that war la a profitable business. To go fur ther than this nnd humiliate the enemy unnecessarily is to fo.v the seed of fu ture trouble. It will be noticed that the duration of the armistice Is to be thirty-six days, and that the Germans arc given thirty one days to evacuate the Ithlneland. As-'our troops and the llelglans on the ' Allied left flank have tho longest dis tance to go it will tnke some tlmo be fore they reach Germany, and It is fnlso likely to be some time before they leave It. For It Is not very probable that the peace conference w:U be brief, - land it ,nay l,e assumed ,at we Wl" j-'iretoln all or most of our guarantee un '. J til Germany shall have fulfilled what- teverneace 'terms may be imposed upon her. In 1871 she remained In occupa tion of French territory until Krano. had paid the last shilling of war in demnity. : GERMAN WARSHIP TORPEDOED Jtcbels Are Reported to Have At tacked Training Vessel By the Associated Press Amsterdam, Nov. 13.
