WHICH GERMANY MUST FULFILL

Immediate evacuation Of Alsac-
Lorraine, Belgium, Luxemberg, Rus
,sia and Roumania without further de-
atruction or harm to it's occupants.
Then, occupation by Americans and
allied troops Of all the countries on
the west bank Of the Rhine.
Then, further, creation Of neutral
zone in q, strip Of territory on the east
bank Of the Rhine, thirty kilometres
{about twenty niles) wide, extend
ing from Holland about half way to
the Swiss border and twenty kilome-
teres wide for the remainder.
Meanwhile, as guarante of good
faith, the occupation by American
and allied troops Of Mayence, Cob
LEM, and Cologne, the principal cross
7ings Of the Rhine, with thirty Hlo-
metre about the bridgeheads
ION the eastern front all German
troops are to be Withdrawn from ter
ritory which before the war belonged
to Russia, Roumania or Turkey.
Then, the German war machine
must ,disarm. The principal portions
of its navy mast be handed over;
arms, ammunition and engines of war
numbered by the thousands are to be
taken from the army
American and allied prisoners are
to be at once repatriated, without re-
ciprocal action by the associated gov
ernments, and the thousands of
wretched citizens dragged off into
slavery from the invaded countries
are to be returned
The provision for compensating the
occupied territories for the havoc
wrought by the invaders is contained
in a simple sentence reparation for
damage done.
AS q step toward restoring map
lines, the treaties of Brest-Litovsk,
which laid Russia prone, and Of Buch-
Arrest, which pluhdered Roumania,
must be abandoned. Money, secur-
ties, precious metals and other valu-
,ables looted from the invaded coun-
tries must be returned in trust to the
Allies until the conclusion Of peace.
In the west the railways of Alsace-
Lorraine, the valuable stores Of iron
saad coal, all the stores and supplies
in Belgium with arms and armament
must be handed over.
In the east, the Black Sea ports
must be evacuated, the warships taken
by Germany from the Russians must
be surrendered: in the Baltic, forts
and defenses barring the way at the
rCatigat must be delivered, and there
must be free access to the seat for the
Allies.
The Allied blockade is to remain un-
changed. Meanwhile, German mer-
chant ships are to be delivered for
missions of mercy in carrying food to
the starving; Allied shipping held by
the Germans is to be RELEASED without
any obligation to restore to Germany
her ships now in the hands of the AS
sociated governments. Germany is to
notify the neutrals they are free to
trade with associated governments
without n1olestation.
In word the iron ring is frightened
and at her borders the civilized world
waits while Germany reforms herself
from within.
The duration of the armistice is
thirty days for compliance with GER
tain specific terms.
One provision Of the armistice which
was supplementary to the text as first
drawn by the supreme war council
and, therefore, does not appear in the
text as President Wilson delivered it.
was inserted after the German revo.
-lutionaries took possession of the Ger.
man fleet. It provides that if the
fleet is not delivered as specified in
the agreement, the associated govern.
,ments may occupy the Helgoland fort
ress for an advance base to secure pos
session of it.
And now, having clipped the mill.
-tary autocracy Of it's fangs, the asso.
~ciated government will wait for the
next thirty days, while the terms Of
the armistice are being carried out, t.
see what sort of government in Ger.
many they will have to deal with.
In his address to congress, the pres.
ident sounded note Of warning that
unless the German people are fed, un.
less her distress is relieved, there il
danger of Bolshevism. The question
Of what sort Of government might
arise to make peace, he declared, wa.
"a matter for no small anxiety ant
misgiving.
An assemblage Of senator's and rep
resentatives, with cabinet officers, dip
lomats, supreme court officers ant
crowded galleries, heard the president
read the terms of the armistice end de
1ivered his address in the hall Of thi
House, where nineteen months ag,
they heard him ask for the declara
tion Of war.
