Of international covenants"
HLoCKEp GERMANS TRicKED.
Very soon after the address was de-
livcred anxiety developed in Europe
and particularly in England. as to just
what was meant by Clause . Appre-
hension was openly expressed in the
English press that thus involved an
abandonment oi the right of blockade
and oi tho right to capture enemy property
on the high seas, and perhaps even II
curtaImont of the right to maintain
fortified naval bases, which might not
only render the British Navy largely
valuclcSs as an Offensive agency nut
limit ITS usefulness in protecting the
empire
Later II appeared that these were
precisely the objects sought by Ger
many, whose war lords hoped To neu-
trallze the prcdominancc of British
naval force while maintaining in full
efficiency their own land armies.

their military advisers and the mill

be asked 10 submit TO the govern
ments associated against Germany
the necessary terms of such an ar
mistice as would fully protect the in
terests of the peoples involved and
insure To the associated governments
the unrestricted power To safeguard
and enforce the details of the peace
TO which the German government
has agreed, provided they deem such
an armistice possible from the mill
tary point of view.
The President is nov in receipt
of a memorandum of observations
hy the allied governments on this
correspondence. which is a. follows:
- The allied governments have
given careful consideration To the
