It is announced that by supple
mentary declaration to the armistice
it was agreed by Germany that, in
case the vessels stipulated in the armi-
stice were not turned over within the
specified time to the Allies the island
of Helgoland might be occupied as an
advance base to enable them to en-
force the terms of the agreement.
How Battle Lines We're.
When the last shot was fired the AL
lied battle line from the Dutch border
to Switzerland was approximately as
follows: &
The frontier Of Holland north Of
Selzaete to Ghent to east of Aude-
narde to east of Mons to east of Maui
beuge and thence east of the Franco
Belgian border to north of Bocroi.
Thence the line was along the Meuse
to Sedan and across the river in the
region of Stenay. Then southeastward
south of Montmedy and northeast of
Verdun to the Moselle near Pagny,
northeast of Pont-a-Mousson. The lire
then paralleled the Lorraine frontier
to west Of Markirch where it entered
Alsace, whence it ran southwark to
Switzerland on line about 20 miles
west Of the Rhine.
France had been entirely cleared of
the invaders except for the narrow
strip of territory from the Meuse to
Alsace 4

YANKEE NAVY
NOT TO RELAX
ITS VIGILANCE
Until Hun Submarines Are
Given Up or Disarmed,
Says Daniels.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Until Ger
man submarines and other war craft
designated in the armistice terms
have been surrendered and the re-
mainder Of the enemy's naval forces
disarmed, Secretary Daniels said to-
day, the American navy will in no
way relax its vigilance. Instructions
to this effect, following those given
by General Pershing to the army in
France, are assumed to be already
in the hands of tha commanders Of
all ships.
The navy department, Mr.. Daniels
said, had not been officially notified
early today of the situation as to the
German fleet, said to be under con-
troll Of revolutionary committees Of
the soldiers and workmen's council.
Detailed instructions for the turn
ing over of the surrendered ships
and other steps for naval disarma-
ment were not contained In the armi-
in attached notes which have not been
communicated to Washington: The
supreme war council left this as well
as the details of the execution Of the
military aspect of the surrender to
Marshal Foch.
officials here are not inclined to ex-
pect immediate drastic action to
force surrender of the German ships.
The authorities at Berlin who order
sponsible for the carrying out of its
terms. Should they fail to do so in
any particular the armistice can be
brought to an end abruptly and hos
tilities resumed to the extent neces-
sary.
With the German army presumably
under orders from Berlin the situa-
ton of the fleet in German harbors
would be critical if they defied the
Berlin authorities; Shore batteries
could soon compel them to put to sea
and the Allied naval powers concen-
trated for the task undoubtedly would
make short work of them, IT
Washington, Nov. IAN import
ant part in the proposed after-the-
war International policing Of the seas
is expected to fall to the American
navy. For that reason, it was
learned today, there is no prospect OF
any reduction in the present naval
strength, and the administration in
stead plans to press urgently for the
building program recently laid be-
fore congress by Secretary Daniels.
The cessation Of hostilities in
Europe, it is believed. will permit
concentration of energy on speeding
up the capital ship program held
back heretofore by the necessity OF
producing special anti-submarine 40.
tillas.
AS to disarmament possibilities in.
cluded in the new world program tc
be worked out, it was pointed out
that President Wilson had thus far
proposed reduction Of armaments
only to point consistent with do
mestic security. In view of the pres
ent uncertain situation of the world
no one speaks to foretell just. what
naval force must be maintained.

retary Solf to Secretary of State Lam
sing follows:
(Brief portions Of the message re-

referred to the armistfce conditions
or conditions in Germany
Convinced of the common aims
and ideals of democracy, the German
government has addressed itself to
the president Of the United States
with the request to re-estabIlsh peace.
This peace was meant to correspond,
with the principles the president al
ways has maintained. The aim was
to be just solution of. all questions
in dispute, followed by a permanent
reconciliation Of all nations.
Furthermore, the president de-
clared he did not wish to make war
on the German people and did not
wish to impede it's peaceful develop
ment. The German government has
received no conditions of the armi-
stice.
Want Mitigation of Conditions.
"After the blockade, those condi-
tions, especially the surrender OF
tenance Of the troops Of occupation
would make it impossible to. provide
Germany with food and would cause
starvation of millions Of men, wom-
en- and children. all the more as the
blockade us to continue.
1--WE had to accept the conditions,
fsat feel it is our duty to draw the
presidents attention most solemnly
and in all earnestness to the fact that
enforcement Of the conditions must
produce amongst the German people
feelings contrary to those upon which
alone the reconstruction Of the COM
munity of nations can rest, guarantees
ing just and durable peace.

quest that he use his Influence with

Merchant Ships May Be Released.
In view In view Of the situation in
Germany, where, outside aid may be
necessary to prevent anarchy, it is
possible that the president may see
fit to take up with the. Allied gov
ernments the question oftgiving some
kind of reinsurance as to the humane
purposes of the associated powers.
Among other things. it is under
stood, the plan is to put the German
merchant marine into service, as soon
as possible after the problem Great
ed by the naval revolt is cleared up
and such vessels necessary will be
employed for sending supplies
through German ports.
It is suggested that DIR. solfs plea
may be designed to lay the foundation
for an attempt on the part of Ger
many to secure general modification
of the armistice terms before the
peace conference.

travel-stained automobiles. driven by
Prussian officers were seen coming
slowly through the fog along the
Belgian village, Mouland, which is al
most. on the border line, was still
asleep. The noise of the motors
brought out a crowd Of curious viii
layers.
The former ruler of Germany was
dressed in the uniform of a general
with an officers cap and carried a
sword. The erstwhile martial figure
was huddled ahd bent on a walking
stick while his eyes stared straight
ahead.
The Dutch frontier guards stopped

Last Group Class | Men,
Numbering $4,000,
Called by Crowder.

Provost Marshal General Crowder
yesterday wiped clean the list Of
Class l men from registrations be-
fore September IL. He issued calls
for three drafts Of men to total
of $4,000. Every State is called on
for its quota.
Twenty-nine thousand negroes
will entrain for camps between
September Is and 27; 10000 will en-
train October 1s, One hundred and
forty-two thousand white men will
entrain between October Z and IL.
With these men in camps the Pro-
vost Marshal Generals once must
address its next drafts for the army
on Glass / of the last registration.
Total figures on the September IL
registration are not yet available
at the Provost Marshal Generals
office. Practically complete reports
have been received from Arkansas,

Columbia. Florida, Indiana. Iowa,

pi. New Hampshire, New Jersey.

Persons inducted into the army
under this system must enter as pri-

has also let 1t be known that the
day of civilians stepping into the
army with commissions is practically
at an end.
II man goes to an officers train
ing camp he comes out second

department needs a first lieutenant he
will be promoted and so on to the
captaincies and higher officers. Only
a highly trained expert very neces-
sary to the military is likely to re-
ceive commission higher than
second lieutenant; and practically all
successful applicants for even second
lieutenancies must come from the
ranks.

are now struggling with the regula-
tons governing assignment OF drafted
men to army, navy and Marines. 1t
is possible registrants who are draft
ed may be allowed to indicate any
special qualifications for these
services. which the local boards may
take into consideration in certifying
them in response to calls.
However, the tendency in the Pro-
vost Marshal Generals Office just
now Is to take from the local boards
the authority Of decisions OF 4
kind and the Navy Department seeks
some more definite means OF fixing
the qualifications for men certified to
it for service.
