TERMS OF GERMAN DISARMAMEN1
Some of the German Warships to Go to Franee and Italy and
Army to be Reduced to 200,000 Meda --Aerial -
For'ce Will be Disbanded, .
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.

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. Two hos-

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. All this
was attnined by one means only -
concentration, intense and unremit-
ted. It was the work of four short
years, in which application overcame
difficulties of all sorts. It gives rise
to this thought -if similar concen-
tration, or even part of it, were de-
voted to the solution of grave social

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.

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

In the course of the trouble three

BERLIN STREETS
Government Troops Begin At-
tack on Spartacan Strong-
holds.
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

A Coincidence of the War.
It has now. been disclosed that
Inunelmann, the great German avia-
tor, who was born at Ultenhage, Cape
Colony, went to Germany to study

The Knight o h Wings.
As in the days of long ago,
A knight rode out at break of dawn
Towards the country of his foe,
Upon his charger bravely borne,
With flashing sword and ready lance,
To seek adventurous Romance.
Not knowing when above the hill
An adversary would appear --
And he would have to die or kill -
Untroubled by the curb ot fear,
Prepared to light, prepared to fall,
Propared to conquer over all.
So do the airmen of our race
Climb up, when clay is scarce de.
fined,
And gallop o'er the fields of space,
And leave their country far behind.
To fling their challenge for and wide
With s9leitdId courage, splendid pride,'
Once mors they battle inan to men,
Alone alnidst the watching skies;
No shouting friends their zeal to fan-.
They charge and thrust with oage0
eyes,
And win , . and to the Western
sun
Bring back their sbield•-the battle
won;
Thole greatest prize, the work wol$
clone,
