the left bank of the Rhine it is pro-
vided that the allies shall hold the
crossings of the river at Coblentz, Co
logne and Mayence, together with
bridgeheads in a thirty-kilometer
radius.
German troops are to retire at once
from any territory held by Russia, Ru-
mania and Turkey before the war.
The right bank of the Rhineland,
that occupied by the allies, is to be-
come neutral zone and the bank held
by the Germans is to be evacuated
in nineteen days. The armistice is
for thirty days, but the president spoke
of the war as looming to an end
The allied forces are to have access
to the evacuated territory, either
through Dantzig or by the river Wis
lula. The unconditional capitulation
of all German forces in East Africa
within one month is provided.
Deserted by her allies, Germany, on
her knees, is accepting terms OF capt.
tulation which amount virtually to abb
iect surrender Except for actual hos
tile military invasion, the once great
European power, whose monarch's am
bition was to dominate over all, is in
complete defeat.
Beaten on the field of battle, the
edict of the allied chief command is
that the German armies shall retire in
oil ipUpd-
ed territory. Impotent as the German
armies shall be, as impotent also shall
be the German fleet. Colonies are lost,
! and the hand that sought to reach out
and attain additional territory is with
cred by the ruling of the supreme war
council at Versailles.
Reparation and restitution, in fact
| full compensation Of all kinds, is to be
made by Germany for all the disaster
that has followed her armies and
| those of her allies throughout the
world war;
| The handwriting was on the wall for
| Germany Her troops had fought val
iantly throughout the more than four
years of warfare. But what had been
| considered in Germany as an invincible
| army was beaten in feats of arms by
the allied powers. Even before Ger
many's allies deserted her, the strength
of the entente allies had become ap-
parent. Unprepared, they had resist
ed for more than three years the as
! saults of an enemy who had been pre-
pairing for combat since the Franco
Prussian war.
The hostilties ended on the eleventh
hour of the eleventh day of the elev-
enth month of 1913.
