New Concessions in Armistice Terms Germans Announce London, Jan. 21.—1n addition to securing au extension of the time limit until June for the delivery of agricultural machinery to the En tente Allies, says a German govern ment wireless message, the German armistice commission In its pour parlers with the Entente represen tatives at Treves last week for a renewal of the armistice, obtained other concessions.- Those Included the stipulation that the quantity of suck machinery to be delivered was to be left undetermined for the present. It Is declared that had the En tente persisted In Its original de mands, the German agricultural In dustry would have been faced with ruin and that this concession re lieves Germany of the greatest anxiety. Says Vail Wants to Unload the Q. T. & T. Upon Government By Associated Press Washington. Jan. 21. Senator Sherman, of Illinois, Republican, de clared in the Senate yesterda that Theodore X. Vail, personal adviser on wire control to Postmaster Gen eral Burleson, favors government ownership of telegraph and tele phone lines in order that the prop erty of the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, of which slr. Vail is president, can be "unloaded" on the government. "Theodore X. Vail Is an assistant to Mr. Burleson and is interested in unloading the American Telegraph and Telephone Company on the gov ernment, and Mr. Burleson knows it," Senator Sherman said. "Mr. Vail is a Bolshevist in disguise. He be lieves in government ownership of telegraph and telephone lines be cause that is the best method of un loading the American Telephone and Shaffer's Last Flight (Continued.) | It was the same with the wood that-the prisoners gathered to make their little fires and cook their few potatoes, turnips, etc., The Boche 1 compelled each one to give up a certain portion, and true to his char , acter of making all the useless suf- I fering possible, he would pick out i | the wood that was most dry. Many f a time liavo 1 saw a miserable , hungry poilu trying with all the 5 firo-making art he possessed to make a fire burn with nothing but . green wood. Thus, by the time the . fire got going right It was dark, and the guard' for fear of airplanes, l came around and stamped it out. And there you are! Some life, eh! t Golly, how glad I was that I was a sergeant, and how sorry I was for those 111-treated soldiers. Some of them had no shoes. Other had no socks, and many there were like me who had no overcoat, and since morning roll call generally lasted some three hours, one missed It. For a substitute 1 used my one and only blanket. It helped some, any way, but not enough, so I chopped a piece off and made a belly-band. That helped wonderfully in the heat line, but it helped also in the breed ing lino, and when I discovered some S.OOO families more or less, of Boche "cooties" therein, I promptly abandoned it. And you can take it from me those Boche "cooties" don't go In for race suicide, either. Yes, I feel quite sure I did more lighting back of the German lines than I ever did on the French front, but although th% latter is the more dat gerous I prefer it to the former— Ono can't lick an army that multi plies itself six times over night. Xo, by golly! It's a bigger Job than the Kaiser tackled and that was' consid erable, as he happens to know now. Time continued to fly, with me getting nowhere, but chafe as I would I had to wait for the bread, for by the best luck in the world, three days were required to get back through the lines. Every day I gained a few more bugs, and grew more Impatient to be off. Probably five days had passed when I finally I got a loaf of bread. It only cost about 52.00, but what was money to leaving that eternal diet of cof fee and soup to say nothing of scald ing the whole Boche army (of coo ties), I was carrying in a hot gath. Rumors of Peace. Rumors were growing thicker as | to piece negotiations and the Eng lishmen growing less enthusiastic about escape all the time advising waiting a few days more to see how things would turn out. Being an American, this patience idea didn't appeal at all. I had the grub and 1 wanted to be on my way. Why wait for peace? Thunderation! Let's go meet it. But still they held off. I was not so strong on going It alone because what I did not know about trench warfare would fill one very large book. Come to think of it, ; the two Englishmen knew as little as I did, so it was well that we did not make the try together, for in crawling back through the lines, a thorough knowledge of trench war fare was necessary. Organize for Escape. Being stationed miles back the lines and only flying over the trench es at high altitudes, naturally, we knew nothing about the way an In fantryman fights. Blissfully ignor ant, though I was, however, I was ! going to have a try. It only re maind. then to wait for the properly wet night. Xext day I found out that four Frenchmen in the same bar racks with me had been planning an escape for weeks. There were four of them and they had both maps and wire cutters as well, as a com plete knowledge of trench warfare. The party was set two days later on a Sunday night. Bet I lost no | time in butting in on this wire cut ' ting picnic. Having my allowance ; of bread and being pretty well liked they let me in on the ground floor, 1 and gave all particulars. Their plan | was both daring and safe as was ! possible. Yon see. there were four 1 guards, each guard having a side ; for his beat. It was quite a long j beat at that, too. One side of the ■ enclosure run right against a main road, much used by the Boche ar my. ! , It was on this side the attempt | was to be made just as darkness ; was falling. This time was chosen because the two bright electric lights on that side would not be lit, and also the guard would be so busy opening and shutting the gate to let the returning working parties in that he would never notice our go ing. The plan sounded good, so good, in fact, that another French man had got wind of it and wanted to go along. Bo we were six, and I. I for one waited very impatiently for | the Sunday services to commence. To March in 15 Minutes. Tou can Imagine our feelings when early Sunday morning orders come to be ready to march in 10 minutes. That meant that the whole camp was moving farther back, owing to the successes of the Allies. However, the success of the Allies did not help us any. It busted up the whole darn party and it was so carefully planned. We did not march in 10 minutes, though, be cause there was too much to do. The Boche commander even held things up for awhile, so that he eould distribute a store house full of needful things to the prisoners. 'This was an eye-opener to me, as judging from the looks of the captives they had been given nothing whatever. And to think that all that stuff had lain there while prisoners suffered and died. There were stockings, shirts, towels, handkerchiefs, basins, spoons, blankets and even shoes, not leather, of course, but shoes, never the less, and many there were who had none. Those basins were just the thing for soup and while they lay securely packed in the ware house we had hunted old, filthy cans to eat out of. Boche Humor. The Boche commander, having no means of transportation for these things and not wishing to leave it for the Allies, called for a grand scramble. That, he felt sure, would be amusing. It was in a pathetic way .for the mob of prisoners, need, lng so many of these articles, cer tainly put up a wild scrap for them. Here could be seen two who had grabbed the same pair of socks, and in their endeavors to pull it from each other's hands were finding out its stretching and wearing qualities. There could be seen another pair Just as excitedly tugging at a basin. Once I saw four prisoners get hold of the same shirt at the same time. Even I could not help laughing at that, for po two of the prisoners were of the same nationality. One was a black Turco from far-ofT Af rica, anoth , a black-eyed Italian; of the other two, one was English and the other French. They were fiXRRISBtmO tSBb TELEGRXPH all mad .they were all cussing and they were doing it at once. Talk about the babble of tongues. The Tower of Babel had nothing on this. But never had I seen men more united in thought, for they were truly allies. Xo four nations ever strove for the same object as their four representatives strove for that shirt. What finally happened to it, I don't know, for a friend came along just then and gave me one of the four basins he had gar- I nered from tho combat. 4 fear, though that the story of the shirt did not have a happy ending. Just the same, I was betting on the Frenchman! lioaded Down. It was not long before we were on the march and according lo ru mor, a fifteen- mile march aehad of t us. Judging from the way some of j those Frenchmen were loaded down I I could not see how they were doing ito make it. It's a cinch they needed ino guards for with all that junk jon their backs escape was out of the question. A big wooden box half as tall as they were besides blankets, several sacks filled to j bulging also, nnd a water bottle. ; Where they got these wooden boxes j will always remain a mystery to me. for there was no wood in camp and ! little that could be fashioned Into ! a box outside; yet two days after, a | prisoner arrived, he had his wooden box' with all his valuables .locked therein, meaning eatables. A French Lieutenant, who was in chrage of returning prisoners at Cambriil once told me that a Frenchman will keep all he finds, whether it be a tin can, wooden shoe or a carrot. Certainly | the latter. It's sure a fact. A turtle has nothing on him, for he corries his whole house with hint, too —kitchen, dining room and bed- I room. Loaded down this way he I went on the march, and many being in an unhealthy condition soon fell by the wayside from exhaustion. It was a pitiful sight, indeed, and even more so, when the Boclie guard came along and prodded the unfor tunate to his feet with his rifle. And said all-in captive lighten his pack. He did not. He would not even cut loose his wooden shoes. In fact, I had no pity for some of them, for they seemed as weak in the head as in the legs. Why carry a lot of unnecessary junk when one is not strong enough to carry' it - .' Traveling Light. As for myself, I was traveling light, using one blanket as an over coat and the other tied snugly over my back. I also had a small sack in whiclil had the loaf of bread, which I had been at so much pains and expense to get for that night's getaway. I had not given up the idea as yet, not by a long shot. For I was traveling light on purpose. If an opportunity presented itself I sure was going to grab it, for I had a general idea of the lay of the land, thereabouts and in which di rection the lines were and what was more important I had a loaf of black bread, supposed to last me three days. So I waited the chance. Meanwhile we passedi through the j city of Mom-Cornet. Every thing was confusion here, for the Boche were getting out, and following their usual custom, taking every thing portable with them. Not even the coal scuttle esc. ">ed, and as for bed and table linen, you can well believe, none of that was overlooked for the Boche was sadly in need of that, as his hospitals had been us ing paper bandages for a long time. We certainly had covered most of that 15 miles before I decided my opportunity had arrived. Right ahead of us the road passed through a dense forest. HOre, by golly, was a heaven-sent chance.

Tell Emperor Charles He Must End Reign of Terror, or Get Out By Associated Press Parts, Jan. 21.—The Austrian gov ernment has informed former Em peror Charles, who is reported to be ill, that unless the monarchist move ments at home and abroad cease, his presence in the Austrian capital will not be tolerated, according to a Vienna dispatch received here.

CONFEREES DEADLOCKED Washington, Jan. 21.—Senate and Houso conferees on water power de velopment legislation reached a deadlock on the question of govern ment licensing o,f water power pro jects and adjourned Indefinitely, EXPECT SENATE WILL PASS FOOD BLLL LATE TODAY Penrose Attacks Hoover Dur ing Debate on the Measure By Associated Press Washington, Jan. 21.—Although debate on tho administration bill appropriating $100,000,000 for food | relief in Europe and in the near East, prevented a tlnal vote on the measure in the Senate yesterday, passage of the bill is conceded. Dem ocratic lenders are hopeful that pas "sage of the measure would be ac complished before adjournment to day. Attack on the bill and the ad ministration of the relief by Herbert C. Hoover was led bp Sen ators Penrose, Pennsylvania, and Sherman, of Illinois, both Repub licans, while Senators Martin, of Virginia, the Democratic lender, Lewis, of Illinois, the Democatic whip, were the principal speakers in support of it. Penrose Attacks Hoover Senator Penrose said Mr. Hoover "had insulted every Republican citizen" by advising the American people to support tho Democratic party in the last congressional cam paign nnd that he would offer an amendment to the bill requiring that the fund be administered by a com mission named by the President "with the advice and consent of the Senate." The Pennsylvania Senator offered an amendment requiring that the re lief fund be used to purchase sup plies in the United States. Senafor Martin criticised this proposal "as a profiteering stipulation on a chari table fund" and Mr. Penrose finally modified it to read that wheat to be given free to the people of Europe should be purchased in this country as far as possible. The amendment then was adopted. . Another amendment offered by Senator Asliurst, of Arizona, Demo crat, would give every soldier, sail or and marine a bonus of sis months' pay and his uniform upon discharge, but its consideration was deferred. Senator Lewis urged passage of the bill as necessary to sustain President Wilson in his work ab tlie k Peace Conference.

German Elections Show Trend Toward Republican Government I.niuton, Jan. 21.—"Tho course of the elections throughout tho German state," says a German government wireless dispatch received here "has clearly proved that tho development of a republican form of government interests tho whole German nation. Participation in tho elections was strong everywhere, nnd in the sharp est contradiction to tho indifference which vast classes, especially among the Bourgeoisie, have shown on the occasion of former elections. Es pecially remarkable was the strong percentage of women among the masses of voters and tho persever ance of both male and female vot ers to record their votes, despite ad verse weather conditions. "Only from tho lthineland, the mining district of Ilamborn, Cassel nnd a few small places have there been disturbances due to the violence of Spartaca hands. Everywhere else the day has been quiet both in the provinces nnd in the large towns.
