Jjj 10 THE OGDEN STANDARD: OGDEN, UTAH. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1918. I GERMANS WORRY I OVERWIISTICE i Fear People Will Be Thrown H into Anarchy, and Famine wm -Germans Protest. M! PARIS.' Tuesday, Nov. 12. A docla- II ration sent to" the French government HI early this week by the German nrmis IH tlco" plenipotentiaries has been pub M lished here, It protests against some jfl features of the terms agreed to by the H Germans and to which they objected IB verbally at their first meeting with H Marshal Foch The declaration roads: U "The German government will nat B urally make every effort to aid in the Ml carrying out of the obligations im SK posed upon it. Its plenipotentiaries mm recognize that on certain' points a mm conciliatory spirit has been shown to Ibfi ward their suggestions. BR "They cannot, however, permit any KH doubt to exist in fact that the short- HH nesa of the delay fixed for evacuation KB and the handing over of indispensable mm means of transport threatens to pro- Hb! voke a state of affairs which may ren- raffl (cr tne e-xccut'on of tne conditions of jfli the armistice impossible. The pleni- Ht potentiaries further consider it their mm duty to state once more with the ut- ittl most energy that tho execution of this ttg convention must throw tho German people into anarchy and famine, vl "After tho public manifestation Ip which preceded the laying down of the Jjl nrmistico, conditions might have been MB expected which, while giving our ad- Vfl versaries full military security, would wi have put an end to the sufferings of mm non-combatant -women and children. Ki The German people, which for fifty IJi months have held out against a world w of enemies will maintain their liberty u I and unity despite eve'ry violence." I LIVELY DEBATE ON REVOLUTION WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. Resolu-! tfons adopted by the national associa- j tion of state railway and utility com missioners in annual session here to day, suggested action by the president or the director general of railroads to recognize full authority of the states over intrastate rates and service, and advise consideration of legislation on the future status of railroads. There was lively debate over the resolution. Before its adoption n clause was eliminated declaring that federal con trol of railroads should cease as soon ns possible after tho war. Postmaster General Burleson, in an address today lold the commissioners that it Is our purpose to unify and con solidate telephone and telegraph so as to be able to take care of an increased volume of business. "When that has been done," he added, "we .honestly hope to amend rates so as to bring about substantial reductions, which would increase the volume of business and Justify extensions." I I MAC KM EN OVERSEAS. I PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 14 Admit- ting that the Detroit club, as recently j issued statistics showed, has more men ; in the service than any other major l league club.

Tho 11 Mackmen who are now over there are IF Walter Anderson, Ray Bates, Eugene N Bailey, Carmen Hill, Patrick Haley, ' fUj Elmer Meyers, Murphy, Noyes, Taylor j jj -ind Clarence Walker.

RETURN OF BOYS I MAY BEDEFERRED I Americans Will Remain "Over i There" Until Peace Is Signed. I j ' 1 SALT, LAKE, Nov. 14. How soon i will the boys be hqme? , ?, This is the question that is on I he lips of almost everyone since the, signing of the armistice. The general ( public seems to, expect an immcdlatt ') demobilization of "tho army and the; rushing home of the men who entered j tho service "for the period of the j emergency." j? They who expect "this are doomed! i to dlsappointmen, according to mili-i tary authorities. For, although an ar-1 I mistico has been signed, the war is) not yet over. Tho articles of peace j $ have not been signed, have not oven( a been frajned as yet. How long it will j require to accomplish this is a ques- tion that time alone can answer. And, 3 it. is pointed' out, oven after peace terms have been finally signed, there I will still remain much military work to he done overseas and the soldiers will not come homo until the last duly i has been successfully performed Last War Is Example. As an Indication of the time that H may have to elapse before there is B even a start to demobilize the army S and to return the soldiers overseas to j their homes here, it is pointed out II that is was six months or more follow- ing tho Spanish-American war before the final treaty of peaco was signed H and It was many more months before, H all the soldiers "were returned to this Ejj country from their overseas stations. U It required many months of con- N tinuous session of tho peace confer- H ences following tho Franco-Prussian m war to perfect the peace treaty fol- H lowing that war. In proportion it H should take even longer to work out H the final details in this war, it is said, I though different conditions prvailing n now may upset tho precedent H Warning Sent Out. I But, however this may bo, the I warning Is sent out by tho military I authorities that the people should not indulge in "dangerous optimism" and allow themselves to be carried away ! with the expectition of an immediate g demobilization of tho army and re- 1 turn of the soldiers to civilian life. I Demobilization of a great army is- a 1 much slower and more tedious jog 3 than its mobilization. It is fraught I with greater responsibilities, demands H more cautious procedure to guard 1 against demobiliztian of economic, so- P cial and labor conditions, and must 1 be cirri d out in accordance with a farsightd and for-reaching plan. y Following the Spanish -American H war there were revolutions and upris . H ings that had to be put down by the H military establishment Ample indi- cations of juBt this sort of aftermath H to the great world war, only on a H greatly magnified scale, are already 3) being furnished. j Many Months Yet. I Military men are unanimous in tho i I opinion that the present army which j the United States has overseas will 1 1 ! have to be maintained intact there for j j many months and armed forces will have to be kept on duty there fori I years, possibly. The time which will ? be required for the "mopping-up" !j I process following open hostilities is A variously estimated by officers at from I two to ten years, the tlmo depending. E of course, upon developments in con- M dilions in the countries affctcd. j So the people are warned not. to in- y I dulge in tho false optimism that the H i war is over and the boys. will be home H ttomorrow. They are urged to realize M that the task so well begun must be M carried to completion to the last de- P tall and that the boys over there must P remain "on the job" until this final 1 detail Is properly attended to. r i 1 oo I Wants Celebration I of World in July, 18191 WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.
