London. New. zS.-In connection
with reports that the designations Of
DIR. Solf, the German foreign secreta-
~, and Matthias Erzberger, another
member Of the cabinet, are expected
after the severe attacks made upon
them at the federal congress in Bef-
lin, It is stated in q Copenhagen mes

Zurich, Nov. 24.-Dr. W. S. Solf,
the German foreign minister, has adj
dressed the following note TO the al
lied powers.
According To an additional note
sent 20 the armistice convention by
the allies. Belgium. France. Luxem-
burg and Alsace- Lorraine must be
evacuated within a period of fifteen
days This retirement must be made
in three stages, each being marked on
the map. The third stage has already
been reached and encroaches upon the
Rhine country to the west Of Prum,
between Merxig and Sarregrumines
and comprises Sarrelouis and Sarre-
bruek. Il seems possible that this
encroachment may have beer made
with view to attempting the annex
alton Of these territories to Alsace-
Larraine. The protest OF the men,
bers Of the German commission has
not been considered. The German
Government makes most solemn pro-
test against all attempts intended to
deprive Germany Of these territories :
The German armistice commission
has again presented arguments sup
porting delay in the evacuation Of
territories west Of the Rhine, claim
ing that the economic situation there
supports Germany's view.
