sand troops. The Germans will
evacuate the right bank of the Seine

treaty and the payment of 8 half mil
lard of francs. After the payment of

given the Germans will evacuate complete
ly at once, otherwire three millisrds will
carry interest at per cent from the rati-
fication. Article 4th provides that the
German troops make no further requisi-
tons. The French government
