 Germany HoWIs for Peace.

This new supplement- to the armistice agreement, it is anI nounced, is accompanied by the sur5 render by Germany of all her subA marines. Under the original armisticea agreement, only 16O U-boats were toa be turned over to the allies.

To guard against disorders in RusN sian provinces occupied by GermarA troops, the allies have agreed than Germany need not call these forcek home until it is considered safe to ddE so.
