DO Hi MS FIfl ?IRt OF *M Paris, Wednesday, March 12.?The aerial terms of the German disarmament as adopted today by the supreme war council provide that airplanes and dirigibles shall no longer be used for military purposes. The council .concluded that it was not feasible to prohibit airplanes for commercial uses. The drafting committee was directed to make clear the distinct exception of commercial airplanes in the terms incorporated in the peace terms. All forms of military airplanes are barred to Germany, the only exception being the temporary use until October 1 of 100 hydroaeroplanes, and 1,000 men in gathering mines in the North sea. * Paris, March 12.?(Havp,~)?Germany must deliver all airplanes to the allies and must prohibit the construction of other airplanes unti lthe conclusion of peace, the supreme war council decided today in adopting the .aerial terms to be imposed on Germany in the preliminary peace. The terms do not decide the future fate of the airplanes, y which may either be destroyed or divided among the allies. The British and American delegates brought up the question of a distinction between commercial aerial navigation, which will be authorized for Germany after conclusion of peace under certain guarantees and military aerial navigation will be prohibited. The council decided to send an aeonautic commission to Germany to investigate the question of commercial aerial navigation. Deputy Dubigny of the French chamber will be ( chairman. 1 'x t Paris, March 13.? (French Wire , less.) The peace conference commis- , sion on Greek affairs yesterday heard ( the representatives of Thrace M. ] Wamnavas, a former deputy in the , Turkish parliament, and A. Antoniades, an engineer. M. Antoniades told ] the commission of a preponderaning ( Greek population in agriculture and ( industry in Thrace. I The Greek and Armenian patriarchs at Constantinople have sent a petition to Premier Venizelos to be presented to the peace conference. Demand is made that the Greeks and Armenian no longer be compelled to live under a Turkish government and it is declared that the Greeks and Armenians will not submit to such government. j The petition asks that Greeks be al- ( lowed to live in Armenian territory and Armenians in Greek territory in ^ case they can not be included in the limits of their own countries. vThe Armenians ask for the formation of a Great Armenia with access to the ( Black sea and the Mediterranean and say they would like to see Thrace, { Constantinople, the Vilayets of Smyr- ^ , na and Broussa and the sanjaks of j Comedia and Bigha incorporated in j Greece. Hope is expressed that the United j Greeks and Armenians may become t important factors in the peace, prog- j ress and civilization of the Near East. , Paris, March 13.?An official an- ^ ] nouncement this evening says the ^ labor commission today completed the third reading of the British draft con- 1 vention, with the exception of two ar- 1 tides, which were left for final decision next Monday. Paris, March 13.?An official state- ' ment dealing with today's sessions of ! the commission on the international regime of ports, waterways and railways says: "The commission on the international regime of ports, waterways and railways met this morning at 10:30 at the ministry Of public works in plenary session. The commission continued the discussion of provisions relative to the international regime of Rhine navigation, to be inserted in the preliminaries of peace. "The meeting adjourned at 12:30 p. m." Paris, March 13.?There is a divergence in the views of the members of the commission investigating the responsibility for the war on several im portant points, according to The Temps. As to whether the former German emperor and other heads of enemy states should be brought to trial is a question on which a division of opinion exists, while the matter of a ninternational tribunal or military . tribunals for judging those charges with violations of the rights of nations during the war has not been settled. The American delegates have opposed an international tribunal, pointing cut that the United States was not a belligerent during the whole period when such violations were committed. A possible solution has been under consideration?the appointment of military tribunals composed of officers of different nntionalities.

Recent reports to the Americans lolding the Coblenz bridgehead are :o the effect that the few units of the )ld German standing army which were rerforming any active service early n February appeared to have been re>rganized on a uniform plan. The r.ajority of these troops, information n the hands of the Americans indi:ete, are simply drawing pay and pass ng the time the best way possible in heir home depots, patiently awaiting 1 i ar?V? n r*rvr> a** -? Al?* - hv Having maue up men ninds to remain in service in preference to seeking employment in :ivil life. These units are divided between chose who are perfectly willing to lerform active service and those who ire not. The willing ones, usually including most of the officers and noncommissioned offiecers, have taken a lew name for their organization, but continue to use the depots and other facilities of the old unit. The unwillng soldiers also have been remaining n the depots of the old unit. It was in this manner that the Reinrnrdt regiment which fought the Spar ainists in Berlin and which early in February had companies assigned to iVeimar when the National Assembly ,vas convened and alsp other detachnents sent to the eastern front, was ormed from the Fourth Foot Guard regiment in Berlin and has retained jossession oi tnat depot. The new German Schuetzen division :onsists of volunteers of the Thirtyirst division, the volunteer regiment jeing stationed in Berlin, while the emainder of the Thirty-first has been n depots in the Hartz region. German press dispatches from the egion of Polish-German clashes re:ently mentioned the "Volunteer Bat:alion Koop" which was reorganized from the One Hundred and Fortytfinth regiment of Schneidemuehl. An>ther recently mentioned unit was the Yorchsche Jaeger corps" which reports indicates was the volunteer contingent of the First Jaeger battalion, the corps using the battalion depot at Jrtelsburg. Each of the units appear to include many volunteers, from outside their ranks, and all of them were actively tonducting recruiting. According to recent estimates of American army officers, the standing Serman army the first week in February numbered between 300,000 and 100,000 officers and men. These estimates do not include several hundred thousand soldiers, who have volunteered for the defense in the east igainst the Bolsheviki or the Poles.

AMERICAN INDUSTRY AND i-, \.i .\ r-iMti-Mi .>i AiJt VICTORY A CERTAINTY Washington, Mar. 15.?To American industry and engineering and Ameiican science, not to the Ordnance Corps of the regular army, belongs the credit of having evolved and made possible an ordnance program for the American army that made victory a certainty, Major General Clarence C. Williams, Chief of Ordnance, declares in a letter to the officers of his department retiring to civil life made public tonight. "It was American industry and science that were on trial," says the letter. "The ninety-seven officers of the Ordnance Department of the old regular army and the eleven government arsenals they administered could never have dominated, have won the success or caused the failure of the 5,000 officers from civilian life and the 5,000 private industrial plants which were incorporated in the organization for the period of the war. The enlistment in industry, equally with the draft of manpower, was a sueces. And for that I thank you, the administrative directors and the engineering advisors of American industry who came into the sendee of the Ordnance Department during the war." No other part of the American war program carried its responsibilities and effort as to design and invention, or production, into so many channels, the letter says, or projected them upon so vast a scale. "When your problem is the production of 100,000 separate components in more than 5,000 different plants," it continues, 'with these items ranging from feed bags and star shells to complete trains of railway artillery, the judge who can competently say what your progress has been, must indeed have a profound knowledgi of the field." * General Williams points out that his own service took him first to I France for eight months, then back to keep the work at home under constant review. "Of such knowledge," he adds, "I say that you did exceedingly well and , that 1 am proud to have commanded , such soldiers in this war. I say this , utterly without thought of any per! sonal responsibility for that success. , for that sueces. The tribute is not , to me. It is not to the Army Ordn, mice Department of the regular establishment nor to the Ordnance officers . of the regular army. It is to Ameri. can industry and engineering, to Amf ei ican science." The ilepartment, General Williams ) says, probably "exercised <lirection over a greater physical power than was ever concentrated on a single purpose in the history of the world." "The happy attainment of our objective in the war within nineteen months have insufficient time for the > complete development of that power," he adds. "Proper strategy required the projection of the ordnance program upon a scale designed to secure an ultimate, overwhelming and continuous rate of production rather than s a lesser rate of production* at an ears lier date. j "Obviously a housewife could buy an oven and bake six loaves of bread - in less time than a bakery could be j built and provision made for the needs , of an entire city. But the rate of - production from the housewife's oven o could never feed the city. * "The ordnance objective was a rate r of production adequate for an army of e 5,000,000 men. We could not sacrifice y production in 1020 to force a quicker n i but lesser rate of production in 1910. We were building to make ultimate s victory absolutely certain and there m ver was a moment when the ordnance program did not absolutely guarantee the ultimate defeat oi ^ Germany. "We stood ready, during the month j the armistice was signed, to turn or the taps at full force that had beer * made ready to provide a flow of munitions such as no nation had ever attempted. The fact that the American munir? tions program alone was greater thar that which Germany could attempi o - IL 1THE.. ONIA OI\J? 1ESDAY AND I RSDAY thandkOt tnc at Popular Prm ilts 55c; Children 25c ?s Daily, Commencing at , and 8:30 o'clock sharp. after thirty years of preparation for war is apparently little realized in this country. But I have no doubt that it was realized in Germany and that such realization substantially contributed to a victory by its reaction upon the minds of the military masters of Germany." ? In closing, General Williams urges the retiring officers to "retain a consciousness of this problem we have faced together" as they return to civil life, to keep in mind the realization that as scientists, thev control n source of power vital to their country in time of war, and to "stand ready to return to your posts and be an influence to keep your country prepared for the transition whenever it becomes necessary." "Your labor" he says, "was no less for the security of your country in the emergency now passing than for its safety in the future. For, if we happily have ended wars by the winning of this one, your contribution to that victory has given your country security. and, if war should hereafter prove unavoidable for our country, the lesson you have learned, the knowledge you have acquired your labor, should safeguard the nation against the danger of ever again entering upon u great war without knowing how to shift industrial power quekly to war channels. "With the ability to effect that transition quickly, with adequate provision for it made in advance, T should never fear for tV' safety of our country. But lack of preparedness in that respect will ever be our country's greatest weakness and gravest dar.g er so long as possibility of war exists. Avoidance of that danger !' ?? largely in the possibility of continuing a proper contact between the branch of the military establishment charged with provision of munitions., and the industrial world. If that cor tact is to be maintained, it must largely through your in'erest." IWCOLET 1U)1 TE 2 We are having ideal spri?-r* wcnther.
