A despatch from Faris says: ---The mi)itary, naval and aerial terms of la German disarmament were before the Council of the Great Powers on Tllursday,'with Premier Lloyd George back at the head of the British dele- gation, Marshal Foch and the full membership of the War Council present. Most of the time was given to the navalterms, which were, largely set- tled, with several featuiibe still re- served, including the destruction of the large German ships. Premier Lloyd. George was disposed to have England take part• of these ships, but he yielded this view when shown that it would involve an in- creased naval building program lin the United States, As a result of the British and Am- erican view in agreement, and as a means of harmonizing the French and Italian views, it is possible that some of these ships will be apportioned tq France and Italy, instead of being destroyed. Tie actual terms of German dis- armament, as finally considered, though not yet made public, are summarized as follows; Disarinalnent down to 200,000 men, consisting of 15 divisions of infantry' and five of cavalry, dividod,,into five army corps. The men aro to be chosen by lot for one year'st service, and no class is to exceed 180,000 men. Arms and ammunition are restrict- ed to a force of 200,000 men, and the balance to be delivered or de- stroyed. The naval terms provide similar disarmament by a reduction of the Germau.,fieet down to a limited basis sufficient for police defence, but it will not figure among the navies of the first or second class, This sys- tem is to be for an indeterminate period, with ultimate continuance or modification, probably under the League of Nations. The aerial terms of disarmament are definite ,in period, as a limited number of hydroplanes with an aerial force of a thousand men are to gather mines until October 1 next, when the entire establishment is to end.

PEACE TERMS, LL INCLUDE DEMAND FOR SURRENDER OF GUILTY Evidence Incriminating Many German Officials Contained in Report of the Commission on Responsibility for the War. A despatch from Paris says: -The report of the Commission on Respon- sibility for the War, now nearly fin- ished, contains a mess of evidence of startling character, incriminating German generals find other high offi- cials, both civil and'military, on spe- cific oharges of atrocious cruelty and crimes of every description. The conclusive nature of this evi- dence is'felt to warrant the proposed inclusion in the preliminary peace demands for guarantees that the in- dividuals incriminated Miall be at the disposal of the Entente as already mentioned. It is understood that no names are mentioned, but it is in- tended to draft a comprehensive clause which will include all the al- lofted criminals within its purview. It is proposed that these shall be made amenable to jurisdiction, but if for any reason they 's'hould escape trial, then the whole evidence affect- ing them will be published to the w rlds The Committee on Responsibility for the War follows: Robert Lansing, United States, chairman; Sir Gordon }Iowan Great Britain, Capt. Andre Tardieu and Ferdinand Lernaude, France; Vit- torio Scialoia and Deputy Raimondo, Italy. oesearrorzareernnos Clef ereelee MOST4IT ACOONNT50 WITH THAT z,UY- r /4 tt WITH JUST ONE WAVE OF MY HAND AND YOlj SEE Tetae WILD 1bEASTil A5 TAMI At, �A K{TTt14- r Blind Map Making Brooms at Toronto.

The grand total of soldiers and de- pendents sailing from ii nglaed up to the end of February Is 76,799. By menthe it is made up as follows; November, 4,921; December, 18,925; January, 23,227; February 30,350.. Tho smallness of the November OW is accounted for by the fact that transport work slid not begin until the latter part of the month, C,ANADIAK DOGS TRANSPORT SCR Wounded on Murman Coast Placed on Sledges and Wrapped in Sheepskin Bags. A despatch from London says:- Reuter's has received some interest- ing details regarding the manner in RAPID PROGRESS OF AVIATION AT WAR'S END BRITISH AIR SERVICNWAS BEST IN WORLD A Peak of Excellence Attained Only by Intense and Unremitting Concentration. The last few years have provided so much of the marvelous, discover- ies have crowded so fast upon each other,'that the dreams of the dream- er have.been eclipsed, and reality has put to shame the writer of fiction. The meal has been too full, and the process of digestion will be slow. Of mushroom growth but marvelous ef- ficiency, the British Air Force pro- vides at once a. wonderful story and a deep moral. A few years ago the airman who succeeded in getting his machine to rise from the ground, of its own voli- tion, and fiy a few miles was ac- claimed. To -day airmen outpace the wind. They have deposed the birds from dominion of the ail,', and pres- ently their aerial Dreadnoughts, turn- ed from the dread necessities of war, will minister to the arts of peace. It is not unprofitable to reflect that when first the estimates of an Air Service were brought into Parliament before the war, the aeroplane, as a factor of war, wss strongly criti- cized; opinion favored the Zeppelin and similar monsters then being de- veloped by Germany. So fallible is human judgment. The Zeppelin was soon utterly dis- credited in land warfare. Lieut. Warneford gave it it, quietus as a fighter of the aeroplane; the disas- trous raid on England, in which six out of seven of these monsters were crippled in a storm and ultimately destroyed•in France, proved their un- reliability in bad weather, and latter- ly they were more or less confined to the important but severely res- tricted task of scouting at sea, in which work they were undoubtedly of great value to the German Ad- miralty -a lesson which was not lost the Murman collet frontier.

The only preval- chines. Tho marvelous growth of int complaint is insomnia. the British Air Service is shown by an official statement. The figures show that at the outbreak of war aeroplanes numbered 166; at the close of hostilities the number was 21,000, while on the clay when the armistice was signed 26,000 aeroplanes and sea- planes were on order, together with 56,000 engines. In August, 1914, there were only four squadrons of the R, F. C. in existence; last November the total amounted to over 300, employ- ing some 294,000 men, and when the war ended the British Air Service was the best in the world.

MUTINOUS OUTBR ,A ,AMONG • CANADIAN .Ol IRS I.N.. WALES. Several PeriiiOns Killed or Wounded' --,Disturbance Due to DON, in Sending IYIen Back Overseas ---.Many Arrests Made Great Property Damage Done by Rioters. A despatch from London says: - 'Prom eight to twenty-seven persons are estimated to have :leen killed and from twenty-five to seventy-three wounded in elating during the mast three days at the Kinmel Military Camp at Rhyl, Wales, According to a Liverpool despatch received here on Friday night. Great property- dam- age was paused, the despatch adds. According to the latest reports from Liverpool the riot was started by e'bcut 200 malcontents, There were 25,000 Canadians in the camp Await- ing demobilization and embarkation. The men who caused the trouble were war casualties who had served for three years or more in France. They eonnplahned that their embarkation had been postponed while other men who had seen less service were sent home, After the destructionof stores of .all kinds on Tuesday by the discon- tented men, the situation took a more serious turn on Wednesday when the cavalry was called out but forbidden to use Its arms. Troops from Chester ,intercepted the rioters in their march upon Aber- gele, near Rhyl, and also prevented a threatened raid on the latter place. Five men were killed and 40 injured in the course of this fighting, it is reported. There was further promiscuous shooting early Thursday morning, but at no time was there organized firing by any armed ,party. Most of the deaths were due ,to crushing, ,it is said. An unnamed major holding the Victoria Cross and believed to be from New Brunswick, is reported to have been virtually trampled to death while tt.ttempting to defend the OM errs' quarters against great odds. The Daily Mail says that the Cana- dian authorities restored order with- out the assistance of British troops and declares that the matter Is solely one for Canadian disciplinary action, The Canadian officials have in- formed the War Office that they do not desire any incegpse in shipping facilities as a consequence of the out- break, as they do not intend to be coerced by the action of the nioters. It is stated that 20 or 30 of the ring- leaders, most of foreign extraction, have been arrested by the Canadian authorities, cooperating with the civtbian police, It is understood that these man will be brought to London and lodged in the Bow Street station. The Official • Report:- Canadian military headquarters in London on lrriclay issued a statement with refer- enee_to the riot by soldiers at Kinmel Park. The statement says the dis- turbance wss entirely due to the de- lay in getting the men back to Can. ada. It was impossible to keep the promises given the men, the state- ment adds, owing to the shortage of vessels to convey them home. The authorities, however, do not re- gard the rioting as justified, and the offenders, many of whom already are under arrest, will be vigorously dealt with. A number o? civilians took nett in the disturbance, and twelve of these also have beta arrested and handed over to the 'ivil aafhor,ties. In the course of the trouble three rioters and two scr.trzcs were killed and twenty-one persons were injured, ,including two officers, according to the statement.

A despatch from Berlin says:- Government troops began an attack on Friday from all sides on the centre of the city and made brilliant pro- gress. The attack was for the pur- pose or relieving police headquarters, which was besieged by sailors and Republican guards who had gone over to the Spartacans from tho Govern- ment side, and had cut off tho head- quarters from all communicatiou with other Government forces. A column from the west progressed to within a block of police headquarters in two hours. It is believed that the column suc- ceeded in relieving the besieged gar- rison at police headquarters, although military headquarters at 6.30 o'clock on Friday night had not yet received any information on that point. Between 200 and 300 persons were killed or wounded. The casualties were largely among spectators who, despite all warning, persisted In stay- ing to see the fighting. The casual- ties among the Government 'troops were comparatively light. There was very little organized co- herent opposition by the Republican guards and Spartacan marines. They were caught by surprise without ef- ficient leadership and were unable to check the attack of tho well disci- plined Government forces. A despatch from Weimar says: - Leaders of the German Government here announced that the situation in Berlin gave them no cause for worry. They said that Iulnister of Defence Noske had sufficient troops to main- tain order.
