there frequently now.
1t is believed that Mr.. Arnold

his arguments against the move 10

Germans Give Up Hope
of PrOlOnging Armistice;
Allies to Occupy Realm
BY Associated Press

London, Dec. "a Reuter- dis
patch from Berlin to-day confirms
the delivery of the ultimatum, the
time limit of which is "a hours. 1t
says Matthias Erzberger (of the Ger
man armistice commission offered
to deliver all the locomotives as soon
as they were repaired. The German
newspapers, adds the dispatch, point
outthat there is no hope of prolong-
ing the armistice and that it is likely
the Allies will occupy Germany.
The foregoing comes as an add to
London dispatch which has not
been received. 1t appears to indicate
the delivery of an allied ultimatum
to Germany for noncompliance
with armistice terms with a threat
to proceed with the occupation of
Germany if these are not complied
with.
