"Well," said Frank, "I'd like to know what terms Marshal Foch will impose on the foe."
"They'll be stringent enough, don't you worry," said Jack. "He'll impose terms harsh enough to make sure that Germany doesn't renew the struggle while final peace negotiations are in progress."
"I hope so. But I'll tell you one thing I hope he does."
"What's that?" Jack wanted to know.
"I hope he insists on the surrender of the whole German fleet."
"Whew!" exclaimed Jack. "You don't want much, do you?"
"Well, he should insist on it," declared Frank.
"But he probably won't," returned Jack. "I figure, however that he will insist that a large share of the ships be turned over to the allies, including their most powerful submarines and battleships and cruisers. But you can't expect them to give up the whole business, particularly when the entire High Seas Fleet is practically intact."
"Maybe not; but I'm for taking all we can get."
"So am I," Jack agreed, "all that we can get without danger of causing a hitch in the armistice proceedings."
