ARMISTICE GAN
 BE RENEWED
Clauses Provide For Substi. tuition of Supplementary
 R. R. Material.

Paris, Friday, Jan. 1.-The agree ment tor the renewal of the German armistice signed by Marshal Foch, Admiral Browning and the German armistice commissioners Thursday provided for the renewal of the ar nistice from time to time after the month for which the extension runs, until the conclusion of peace, subject to the approval of the Allied govern ments.
 The principal terms of the renewal are substantially as has heen already reported. In addition there Is clause by which the Allied command reserves the right to occupy that part of the Strasbourg defenses comprised by the forts on the eastern bank of the Rhine and strip of territory from three to six miles beyond. Other clauses provide for the substitution for supplementary railroad material, fixed at 800 locomotives and 19,O00 cars by the protocol of Dec. IT. by large quantities of industrial and az ricultura1 implements, and give con- trol of Russian prisoners in Germany to Allied and associated delegates for repatriation. German Headquarters at Berlin will act In collaboration with the Allied and associated relief organizat tions in this phase of the work.
 The naval clauses provide that all submarines must be turned over, in cluding all submarine cruisers, mine layers, sweepers. salvage ships and floating docks for submarines. They also stipulate that the building of all submarines must cease and those on the stocks must be dismantled or de- stroyed under Allied supervision.
 Germany undertakes to turn over Allied ships still detained in German ports. The clause providing that Germany shall place her mercantile marine at the disposal of the Allies in return for food supplies says that the agreement in no way affects the final disposal of those ships.

C0MPE, FIRMS TO
 FULFILL AWARDS

Washington, Jan. 18-Every power of the navy department will be used to force the acceptance by companies with which it has contracts of awards made by the War Labor Board, Secretary Daniels said today, after a conference with Joint Chair main Taft of the board. on the s:tua- ton growing out of the Bethlehem Steel Companys refusal to put n operation one of these awards.
 Mr. Daniels said he would take up at once the question of how the de- partment should proceed. It appear ed, he said, that the Bethlehem com pany mad agreed some months ago to permit collective bargaining and the esta ablishment of shop committees among its employees. but as soon as the armistice was signed, ''the com pany lost interest"
 No hint was given as to what form the navy departments action might take, but MT. Daniels pointed out that every contract let by the navy in cluded a cancellation clause. The war department has more and larger contracts with the Bethlehem com pany than the navy.
 Joint Chairman Taft annonced later that the War Labor Board would de- fer for ten day its decision on the complaint of Bethlehem steel com pany employees that the company had not lived up to the terms Of the awards.
