tilery and all arms ready for SER

were engineer troops to search for
and blow up mines left by the Huns
and to repair roads, The troops
were ordered not to fraternize

terms, is the surrender Of the Ger

the bunch to be surrendered to the
British, who will be accompanied
by French, Italians and Americans,
will be ten battleships, five battle
cruisers and six light cruisers. The
first starting Of the German revolt
was the rebellion Of German sailors
