Cher, Loiret, Yonne, and the country which lies
north-east, besides the Pas de Calais and Nord in
German occupation.

to that time the military operations in that part
of France, including the siege of Belfort, will be

tion during the interval, from the conclusion of the
armistice and the recommencement of hostilities.
