The naval clauses of the new armistice provide for the destruction of the fortifications of Helgoland and Kiel -Canal, the free opening of the latter to mercantile trafic, mad the German feet interned at Ecapa Flow to surrender. Probably the surrendered German warships will be destroyed as the idea of dividing them among the Allies has lapasdi.

INTERESTING REPORTS.

Paris, Feb. 18 (delayed). The economic life of France and Belgium is in a state of suspense awaiting the Peace Conference to allocate the sam which Germany must pay to make good the damage. It is proposed by some Russians now in Paris to raise a volunteer force to proceed to Bussis to put down the Red Guarda. It is not likely that the Allies will allow this. On the other hand of anti-Bolshevist Governments of Russia refuse to entertain the idea of negotiating with the Bolshe vista stating that to disarm would mean capitulation.

The Italian Government has declined to accept the pro posal that President Wilson should act as arbitrator on Italy's the differences of the new kingdom of Serbia. standpoint is that all nations represented at the Peace Con- ference are responsible to one and the same tribunal. Pre- sident Wilson's arbitration would be incompatible with the sovereignity of the Conference.-

FRENCH FINANCIAL POLICY.

Paris, Feb. 19.

The French Finance Minister in a statement to the Budget Commission summed up the Government's financial policy. To demand from the enemy the antire war debt, to obtain priority for certain claims, and to demand guaran tees of payment on the financial section of the League of Nations proposal The Inter-Allied Entente would make no demand on the French taxpayer except those absolutely indispensable to balance pending the Budget's levy tax on capital with payments spread over a number years.

M. Kjotz said the proposed levy on capital burden would not be supported only by the present generation but when Germany had psid the whole of her debt to France, an era of lightening the Eurden of taxation would begin. The Allies should main- tain a close alliance of finances. The President of the Budget Committee in the Chamber of Deputies said that Germany should immediately pay over a sun on account and a loan aboold be guaranteed by all the Allies.
