Washington, Nov. 13.-Germany
loses her entire fleet of submarines
under the armistice terms rs amended
by Marshal Foch before he signed
them with the German ENJOYS Monday
morning. Instead of 100 vessels. every
one OF the andersen pirate crnft must
be surrendered to the allies and the
United States within IA days.
Eighteen Of the articles as originally
prepared by the supreme war council
and as read by President Wilson to
congress were changed under the linn
tied authority for alteration given the
supreme commander in dealing with
the enemy ENJOYS. The state depart
ment yesterday received and made
public the amended articles with the
explanation that no information had
come MS to how the changes were
brought about. Apparently most Of
them were conceded In response to
appeals of the German spokesman,
though several besides that touching
submarines make the terms more
drastic than before.
Must Surrender All Submarines.
Amendments of the armistice terms
made by Marshal Foch after his first
meeting with the German plenipoten-
tiaries, us announced by the state de-
partment include the delivery to the
United States and allies Of all Ger
many's submarines instead of the 16O
specified In the original draft of the
armistice.
Another amendment specifies shat
the countries on the left bank of the
Rhine evacuated by the Germans shall
be administered by the local troops Of
occupation" instead of by the local
authorities under the control of the
armies of occupation.
Troops Stay In Russia.
Instead Of the immediate with.
drawnl of German troops from Russia,
MS originally provided. the amended
terms specify that they shall be
withdrawn las soon us the allies,

Russia) shall decide that the time has
come"
Reduction is made In the amount Of
certain military equipment to be de-
llivered by the Germans to the associ-
ated governments, including $4,000
instead Of 10000 machine guns, and
I1,7OO nirplanes instead Of 1900.
Release More Railway Cars.
The number Of railway cars to be
delivered, however, is increased three
fold-from $4,000 to 10000. It Is
against the delivery of this amount Of
rolling stock that DIR. Solf, the German
foreign secretary, has protested to
President Wilson, asserting that the
distribution Of food in Germany to the
civilian population will be greatly
hampered.
To Protect Enemy on Provisioning.

"the allies and the United States
should give consideration to the pro-
visioning Of Germany during the arm

necessary"
