them with the German envoys Monday
morning. Instead of 16O vessels, every
one of the under sea pirate craft
must be surrendered to the Allies and
the United States within fourteen
days
Eighteen of the articles as origin
ally prepared by the supreme war
council and as read by President Will
son to Congress were changed under
the limited authority for alterations
given the supreme commander in deal
ing with the enemy ENJOYS. The State
Department today received and made
public the amended articles with the
explanation that no information had
come as to how the changes were
brought about. Apparently, most of
them were conceded in response to APP
peals OF the German spokesmen,
though several besides that touching
submarines make the terms more
drastic than before.
Railroad Cars
Instead of50,00 railroad cars to be
surrendered IN evacuated territory the
number is made 100000. On the other
hand, the number of machine guns to
be delivered by the Germans is re-
duced from 10000 to $4,000; the Ger.
man troops in East Africa are per-
mltted to evacuatc instead of being
required to surrender; provision is
made for considering food needs in
Germany IN the taking of means of
transportation, specific reference to
and the regulation Of German prison
tcrs of war at the conclusion Of peace
is added
In response to the German fear of
anarchy in occupied Russian provinces
after evacuation the time of evacua
tion is changed from immediately to
as soon as The Allies, taking into ac
count the internal situation of these
territories, shall conclude that the
time for this has come. Territories
which belonged to Austria Hungary
before the war are added to those
which must be evacuated.
Another added clause provides for
an armlstlce commission, to which
Germany will be admitted to carry
out details under the direction of the
victorious military authorities and in
accord with appended notes, which
which were drafted during the con-
terence between Marshal Foch and
the German delegates.
The addition and changes close
with this:
This armistice has been signed the
nth day of November, 1918, at s
o'clock French time (F. Foch, r. e,
Wemyss, Erzbcrger, A. Obcrndorff
Wintcrfeldt, Won Sclow.)
President Wilson has had the terms
as drafted by the supreme war coun
ell and approved by the Allied pre-
mlers and Col. House in his hands
since week ago yesterday, when
they were cabled upon their compile
ton. He prepared his address inciud
ing the terms and read it to Congress
before Marshal Foch reported the
document as actually signed at his
headquarters
