ENJOYS to Marshal Foch for modifica-
ti6n of the terms of surrender were
Of little avail. This is. indicated by
: the amended terms. Close survey of
the amendments shows few deviations
in essential details from the original
draft which was announced to the
nation Monday, by President Wilson
in an address before Congress.
:. The amended terms in some re-
spects favor the defeated enemy, but
other provisions completely Offset the
slight favors granted. Chief among
the changes made by Marshal Foch
was the inclusion Of a provision I'M
der which Germany is forced to give
up her entire fleet of submarines. The
original term as to submarines pro-
vided for the turning over to the
allies and the; United States of only
100 U-boats. The amendment further
provides that the German submarine
feet must be surrendered within four
teen days.

Another of the eighteen terms
which were amended provides that
the designated units of the German
deet which are to be surrendered
must be prepared to leave their ports
within seven days after the signing
81 the armistice. No time limit was
fixed in the original draft.
Instead of $4,000 railroad cars. the
Germans are required to surrender
10000 cars. The number of machine
guns to be turned over to the associat-
ed governments is reduced from 80
900 to $4,000. German troops in East
Africa are required to evacuate that
territory instead of surrendering. Spe-
cific reference is made in the amend
ed terms to repatriation of German
prisoners of war at the conclusion of
peace.
Territories which belonged to Austria
Hungary before the war are added to
those which must be evacuated. Rus
sian provinces are to be evacuated "aS
soon as the allies. taking into account
the internal situation of these terri
tories. shall decide that the time for
this has come" instead of immediate
ly. Provision also is made in the
amended terms for an armistice COM
mission.
