LONDON, March 2,

All the committees' considerations. of military, territorial, and economic terms will be presented to the Council of Ten about the middle of this week. The preliminaries and peace terms should be completed between March 14 and 25. There is likely to be d plenary session of the Peace Con- ference on March 25 to ratify the terms.

After that the Germans will be called on to sign the preliminaries of the peace settlement. This mom entous event is likely to take place around April 1. Then the formal peace conference will begin. ..

The naval programme will contain drastic rules against the future use of submarines.. All the delegates have virtually subscribed to the abolition of all undersea craft "and to bar future manufacture. !"

The German fleet will not be destroyed but divided among the navies of the Allies.

Firstly the traffic was two and a half times greater than in pre-war times." A large proportion thereof was govern- ment work, taking precedence over private cables. Secondly, owing to the stoppage of the auxiliary routes via Russia and Germany the whole traffic was concentrated upon the cables of which two out of seven from the United Kingdom were at present interrupted; but every effort was being made to Testore them, Government depart ments had been urged to reduce their cable traffic.
