Germany loses her entire fleet or submarines under the armistice terms as amended by Marshal Foch before he signed them with the German envoys Monday Instead of 180 vessels, every one of the undersea pirate craft must be surrendered to the allies and tho United States within fourteen days. Nineteen of the articles as originally prepared by the supreme war council and as read by President Wilson to congress were changed under the limited authority for alteration given the supreme commander in dealing with "the enemy envoys. The state department today received and made public the amended article, with the explanation that no Information had come as to how the changes were brought about. Apparently most of them were conceded In response to appeals of the German spokesmen, thoush several besides that touching submarines make the terms more drastic than before. Instead of 50,000 railroad cars to be surrendered in evacuated territory, the number is made 150,000.

On the other hand, the number of machine guns to be delivered by the Germans Is reduced from 30,000 to the German troops In East Africa are permitted to evacuate instead of required to surrender. In response to the German fear of anarchy In occupied Russian provinces after evacuation, the time of evacuation is changed from Immediately to "as soon as the allies, taking into account the internal situation of these territories, shall decide that' the time1 for this has come," Territories which belonged to Austria- Hungary before the wa and added to those which must be evacuated, Another added clause provides for an armistice commission to which Germans will be admitted to carry out details un der the direction of th victorious military authorities and In accord with ap-pnded notes, which were drafted during the conference between Marshal Foch and the German de'egates. The additions and changes close with this: "This armistice has been signed the eleventh of November, nineteen eighteei, at 5 o'clock French time. (K. Foch, R.

m. (By the on the right bank of the river, Meuse, was included in the territory held by the American troops in the last hour of the offensive. Knowing that a hundred civilians were in the place, no serious efforts had been made to take the town earlier as that would have required a bombardment. When the operation began early in the day, the American line' skirted a little wood at one corner of the town and was within six hundred yards of It at In those places advanced patrols had been stationed, lt was not a solid line and while shells of all calibre shrieked their way from the American batteries over the town in to German lines and flanks and on the positions in -the rear it was not known whether the district had been evacuated. Two correspondents of The Associated Press rode boyand the fixed positions on the front line along an excellent road, passed a patrol and reached the city.

The Germans had gone. The civilians were yet in hiding. The streets were wholly deserted." The correspondents were the first civilians to enter the place since It had been occupied by the Germans. A few moments later patrols moved up from other positions and shortly before 11 o'clock American sentries were posted at the entrances to the town on the opposite side. SILENCE IS ELOQUENT- Paris, Monday, Nov.

11. When dawn came this morning there was no hint of the cessation of hostilities. East of the Meuse, regardless' of the situation, the second American army attacked in force at .8 o'clock. The onslaught was preceded by a tremendous barrage, which was returned in kind by the enemy. For three hours the Americans swept forward, hurling themselves against the wire entanglements.

-V The German gunfire was devastating. Then, at exactly one mlnote of eleven, like a final thunder crash at the clearing of a Jthe gtrna on both sides abruptly ceased. "The silence was more startling than the deafening roar of the barrage. For a britf minute Intermittent rifle fire followed', then came a pause, punctuated by ripping cheers from the trenches on both sides of the line. What ollowed on one sector was perhaps one of the most singular events of the war.

Against the skyline figures were suddenly silhoutted. They appeared cautiously at first, but soon, growing bolder all along the line, they stood up right. These were the Germans. The Americans were not so cautious. As the barrage died, ending in a final husky rumble In the distance from the big guns, runners went sprinting along the fire line.

Instantly comprehending, the whole line of doughboys leaped from trenches, fox holes and shell craters, splitting the unaccustomed silence with shrill cheer. The roar of voices was like an outburst at some college con test in America when a contestant scores classy play. Strange to relate, the defeated enemy joined vociferously as the world war was finished. At one minute before eleven it would have meant death to show oneself above shelter. Not more than a minute after the hour the rolling plain was alive with cheering, shouting men, friend and enemy alike.

Not many minutes later Germans and Americans were coming along the narrow stretch of ground so fiercely fought over, some shyly and awkwardly, like embarrassed schoolboys. Friend and oe Fraternize The first advances followed by offers from the Americans of cigarettes, chocolates and chewing gum. The Germans in some places reciprocated with offers of hot coffee, bread and sausages. The order forbidding fraternizing were strict, but thenovelty of the situation at times overcame prudence and dough boys surreptiously visited nearby enemy dugouts. Along the barbed wire at a road crossing some doughboys and Germans began a brisk barter for souvenirs.

The Germans were bewildered by the number of Americans speaking German. "Sure, my old man was born in Ger 'laughingly remarked one stalwart private. "That's nothing, said another, "my mother and father were both born there. A middle aged landsturmer exclaimed Yes, the war is finished, thank the good God. My only wish is to get back to Germany." A slender pink cheeked machine gunner said: "Yes, 1 know, the kaiser has abdicated." Instantly a young aristocrat raised bis voice: "There will be no revolution In Germany; a new emperor will An uproar Immediately followed.

The speaker was drowned out by protesting voices. Then the Germans began offer ing the Americans such news and gossip as they knew. The approach of an officer broke up the conversations. Tonight the Germans are celebrating peace along the lines by firing flares, rockets and signal lights. The night is uproarious with cheering.

The victorious Americans are taking it more calmly. Along the front the ma- Jority of them are getting a good night' sleep. ARMENIAN MASSACRE REPORTED Bagdad. Mesopotamia, Nor. 12.

Four Billions Probably Sum That Will be Needed Yearly In Order To Pay Debts Incurred By War And Meet Other Obligations (BT JL r. L1AIED WI) Washington, D. C.

Nov, 12. Government financial needs for many years are almost certain to run above $4,000,000,000 annually treasury experts estimate and most of the money will be raised by taxation. Consequently students of government finances think the taxes imposed last year and paid in June probably will hot be lightened materially by, the ud-vent of peace. Secretary McAdoo today warned that taxes necessarily would be high' for many years to pay off war debts, and that additional government loans would be inquired. Roughly, treasury officials in charge of revenue legislation figure this way.

Ordinary government expenses, which run around a billion dollars a year before the war, will no amount to at least $2,000,000,000 annually for many years, and for two or three years after the war may be double the figure. If the $16,850,000,000 of Liberty bonds already issued are increased in volume by later loans tol $25,000,000,000 the interest on this sum would amount to about ooo.uoo.ooo a year. In addition it probably will be the government's policy to establish a sinking fund to pay off the bonds at maturity, and this would r. quire about $1,250,000,000 a year.

Soldiers of the British empire! In France and Belgium the prowess of your arms, as great in retreat as in victory, has won the admiration of all friend and foe and has now by a happy historic fate enabled you to conclude the campaign by capturing Mons where your predecessors of 1914 shed the first British blood.

Washington, Nov. 12. Demobilisation men in the military and naval services of the United States after their return rrom yrance will be carried out largely im a basis of the ability of trades and aMauiu mem, under a plan being worked out by the labor, war ana navy nepartments, and the war In juries Doard. It was said today that the plan will be submitted to President Wilson soon. The war Industries board has sent questionnaires to employers In all indus-tiies asking the needs of each for men and the answers will show where, when and how rapidly jobs will be ready for discharged soldiers and sailors and what trades are most In need of them.

Supplementing this information will be that received from draft boards and com. munity labor boards which are to cooperate In the work. i The war labor policies board and the United States employment service will be combined to handle the labor department's end. The war department is expected to establish a new bureau to convert the activities of Provost Marshal general C'rowder's office to this end. General Crowder was suggested by some officials as the man best qualified to deal with the task of preserving the balance of power of the labor supply without delaying demobilization operations.

With the conversion of industry from a war to peace basis many workers also will be released from emergency Jobs created by the war. but this problem baj been taken Into consideration by the officials, who are working but plans for a general stabilisation of labor conditions when the soldiers are. returned to civil In this connection officials pointed out that with the ending of hostilities there will be a great htsumption of prt-( vate construction and manufacturing he'd up and restricted because of war work and that thousands of skilled laborers will be needed In all parts of the country for this work. Secretary Baker said today every phase of demobilisation of the army Is being carofully studied by war department agencies, but as yet no plans have been formulated. The only orders so far Issued curtailing' war work deal with projects upon which work has not actually started, he said.

The question of the number of American troops to be retained In France or elsewhere In Europe is being studied on that side, Mr. Baker said, while the general staff Is preparing recommendations as to the number to be kept under arms in this country. The problem In Europe In regard to Joint arrangements for war guarding and other work to be dono by the military forces and no con. elusions on this point can yet be made. Mr.

Baker said several factors will govern the order In men will be released from the army. It is possible, he said, that as a matter of Justice, men who had been longest in the service should be released first, but the special need for men of a certain calling probably will modify the principle of making length of service a guide to order of muster out. Labor department officials are confident that the demobilisation of the men now under arms at home nd overseas and the conversion of Industry to its peace status will not cause ny serious problem of unemployment.
