London, Nov. 14.-German
soldiers are committing acts OF
violence against inhabitants and
are destroying and pillaging
contrary to the terms OF the
armistice. according to French
official wireless message re-
ceived here to-day.
The message which is from
the Allied high command to the
German high command says the
Allied command expects the
German command to take
measures to stop the violations
If the acts increase, it is added
the Allied command will tak'
steps to end them.
The Germans are violating the
armistice at different points, and
especially in Belgium and the re-
gion of Brussels.
The eyes of the Entente officials
are fixed on the German navy con-
cerning the attitude it will display
toward the armistice terms. Prob
lens connected with the policing and
provisioning of Russia and the Gen.
trail Powers hinge primarily upon the
immediate disarmament of the Ger
man fleet, the Russian warships and
those under control of the Ukrain-
ian government in the Black Sea
