FOCH TIGHTENS
UP TRUCE TERMS.
Amendments by the Allied Com.
mander Makes Armistice
Conditions More Rigid.
MUST GIVE UP ALL U-BOATS
Changes Were Made in 10 Of the Ar.
tieIes as Originally Prepared
by War Council.

Washington, Nov 13.-Germany
loses her entire fleet OF submarines
under the armistice terms as amended
by Marshal Foch before he signed
them with the German ENJOYS Mon
day morning
Instead Of $50 vessels, every one OF
the undersea pirate craft must be sur
rendered to the Allies and the United
States within fourteen days
Eighteen Of the articles as original
ly prepared by the supreme war coun-
ell and as read by President Wilson
to congress were changed under the
limited authority for alteration given
the supreme commander in dealing
with the enemy ENJOYS.
The State Department today re-
ceived and made public the amended
articles with the explanation that mo-
information had come as to how the
changes were brought about.
Terms More Drastic.
Apparently most of them were con-
ceded in response TO appeals Of the
German spokesman, though several.
besides that touching submarines
make the terms more drastic than be-
fore.
Instead of $4,000 railroad cars to be-
surrendered in evacuated territory, the.
number is made 10000. On the other!
hand, the number Of machine guns to-
be delivered by the Germans is re-
duced from 10000 to $4,000; the GER
man troops in East Africa are peri
mitted TO evacuate instead Of being.
required to surrender; provision Isl
made for considering food needs I'M
Germany in the taking OF means Of
transportation, and a specific refer.
ence to the regulation of repatriatiOnj
OF German prisoners of war at the;
conclusion Of peace is added
Evacuation Time Changed.
In response to the German fear Of
anarchy in occupied Russian provinces:
after evacuation, the time Of evacu-i
alton is changed from Immediately TO
.'as soon as the Allies, taking into &C.
count the internal situation OF these
territories, shall decide that the time
for this has come Territories which,
belonged to Austria-Hungary before
the war are added to those which.
must be evacuated.
Another added clause provides for
an armistice commission, to which.
Germans will be admitted. TO carry
out details under the direction Of the
victorious military authorities and in
accord with appended notes, which
were drafted during the conference
between Marshal Foch and the Ger
man delegates.
