German War Machine
Further Shorn of Power
by Armistice Changes
WasMngton, Nov. 12. Many sweeping changes have been
made in 18 of the 35 armistice terms as originally accepted by
i Germany. These changes were made public tonight by the
State Department. One of them is the demand of the allies
and the United States for all of the German submarines, in
stead of only the 160 mentioned in the original terms. Other
changes are merely modifications of the original draft, such as,
for instance: The number of motor lorries demanded by the
allies is now,fljced at 5,000, instead of the original 10,000. It
is presumed the changes were made at a meeting of the' Ger-
man emissaries with Marshal Foch. Some of the modifications
are calculated to make the terms more severe than those which
were read to Congress by President Wilson yesterday, while
others are rendered more lenient. However, leniency is extend
ed only in cases where the internal situation in Germany makes
it imperative. It is evident that the majority of alterations in
,tho terms were made for the purpose of further crippling -the
once boastedGennan war machine. Under the new terms all
the German troops must be out of France and Belgium with
in the next 30 days. The revised terms make unnecessary any
reply by President Wilson to the note of Dr. Solf regarding
food conditions in the empire, as they indicate plainly the in-
tention of this government as well as the allied nations to assisi
the German people in getting sufficient food rations.

Another thrust had been planned for

enemy was to have been pushed back
as far as possible before tbe armistice
could be signed. Until receipt of official
orders the army commanders went
ahead with their plans as if they had
never heard of any armistice talk.
In contrast to the soberness of the
Americans was the emotion displayed
by the French. Many French soldiers
went about singing and shouting. The

Kaiser Fled When
Villa Was Blown
Up By Revolutionists
London, Nov. 12. It is reported here in dispatches from
Constantinople that the Kaiser's hurried exit from country
was the direct result of the military revolution at Spa, the
German headquarters, in which the former emperor's villa was
blown up by the revolutionists. The revolt among the German
soldiers is rapidly spreading, according to the report, aotid.
many officers who attempted to quell the disturbances have
been killed. The report still persists that the former crown
prince has been shot. In addition to the downfall of the kaiser,
nine other German sovereigns have been overthrown, thus far;
Heligoland, the German Gibraltar in the North Sea, has been
taken under the control of the Soldiers' Council, as has also the
entire German North Sea fleet.
