After consultation with the party leaders, however, the decision was changed, and on Sunday night orders were issued that the armistice be signed. London, Feb. IS. —Mathias Erzberger has returned to Weimar from Treves, according to a German wireless message picked up here. Following his return, he appeared before the National Assembly and read the text of the new armistice agreement. After he had finished the reading, Erzberger is reported to haVe said: Relates Experience at Treves "1 do not wish any mepiber of this house to ever have to live through such heavy hours as it was my fate to live at,Treves. The German commission's activity was kept to the narrowest limits, as Marshal Foch declined to extend the period and declared he was unable to alter anvthing in the stipulations, since the. conditions had; been framed by the chiefs of the allied governments. Marshal' Foch's interpreterer stated that President Wilson had approved the conditions of the new armistice." Detailing futile efforts to obtain amelioration of the conditions, Krzberger said that Marshal Foch had merely promised to try to intervene with the inter-allied commission for the protection of. the Germans in the eastern provinces, in accordance with the views that Erzberger presented, lie said that Marshal Foch had declared that the first article of the new agreement was a purely military measure and would have 110 political effects. Will Submit German Plea Fr/berger. it"is s'ated. reported that he regretted being unsuc cessful in obtaining any definite promise for the release of Ger man prisoners, although Marshal Foch expressed his willingness to submit the plea to the supreme war council for the allies. After| saying that hy signed the agwment£ in accordance with the government's) inst ructons, after banding to the marshal a note of protc|t. Krzberger said: "This is the message, little grati fying in itself, which 1 have had to bring. The world knows Germany does not wish and is unable to con duct a fresh war hut. though it is possible to render us defenseless we must not be made honorless." A motion to adjourn debate on the armistice conditions was agreed upon. Paris, Feb. 18.—When the Ger mans came to the terms of the new armistice, says a Havas dis-i patch from Treves, Mathias Erz-! berger handed to Marshal Foch a twenty-three page memorial in which it was attempted to justify j Germany's attitude, it being main-, tained that she had done her best to 1 meet her obligations. lie also gave the Marshal a mem-' orandum from Philipp Scheidemann, j the new German Chancellor, rem- j plaining of the increasing hard terms forced upon Germany and i protesting against the Germans be- 1 ing forced to evacuate Poland, de- j iivering German fortresses to the 1 Poles and abandoning the German 1 people there. A demand was made i that the Allies require the Poles to cease their attacks against the Ger- i mans. Poles Must Cease Attacks The last request has already been | complied with, a telegram having | been sent to Warsaw from Paris last night. The special commission of the; Supreme Council charged with! drafting the terms of a definite armistice, which will hold good until! the peace preliminaries are signed,' has almost completed its task, and j it is possible, says a Havas report,' that Marshal Koch will be able to! notify the Germans on Thursday or! Friday of the military and naval | terms which will be essentially those) of the preliminary peace treaty. It is understood that the terms will include clauses by which Ger-i many will bo allowed to maintain | only 250,000 men under arms to' keep order. All war material be-1 vomt what is necessary to equip) these troops would, according to re port, be placed under control of the Allies, who would also hold Ger many's munition factories. Ixnidon, Feb. 18.—One of the notes presented by Mathias Erz berger, one of the German armistice commissioners, to Marshal Foch at Treves on Friday complained of the failure of the Entente Allies to com mence negotiations at Spa for a financial treaty with Germany, ac "[Continued on Page 2.] THE WEATHER I i For ilirrliksrg and vicinityi Fair to-night and Wednesday* not mack change la temperature, loweat to-night aboat M de grees.

I spected, slight repairs made and ev erything gotten in readiness for the resumption of operation on March I 10 and April 1, two to six weeks; j earlier than ordinary, that a sutfi- i | cient supply of ice may be manu- ' j factured to meet the city's needs . | during the hot days of summer, | dealers told to-day. i Artificial ice will form the major I part of ice consumed here during j j the summer. Practically no natural j ice has been taken from lakes, ■ creeks and rivers in this territory, : ; and in consequence city people will ] have to depend on the manufactured ' | product throughout the hot months, | Harvey E. DeW'alt, manager of the ) j United Ice and Coal Co., said. Ordinarily, the creek and lake ice | furnishes a considerable percentage of the total product consumed in | | this city. The manufactured ice has ! | always furnished an important part | I and always does reserve duty, but j j this year it must furnish practically j ! all. Some slight quantity of natural | I ice will be shipped here from the i j northern districts, one dealer told, i j As a rule, artificial ice plants of i the several ice companies furnishing ! | the city supply, start operation l j about April 1 and May 1. But since ' ' the demand this year is to be greater j than ordinary, most dealers are ' I planning to start operation on March i I 1 and March 15. j As a rule, ice dealers do not give ; up hope of securing a sufficient sup. ply of natural ice for city use until ' the middle of February for this month always has proven the big ice I month, they say. But this date has ; already parsed and with no outlook | for colder weather, the prospect for the natural product is exceedingly blue, dealers add. Six-inch ice appears on a United Ice and Coal Company lake at Laurel, Cumberland county, but this is too thin for profitable cutting and with no outloook for colder weather, indications are not prom ising for the securing of any ice from that territory, Manager De wait said.
