Germans Told by Foch and American
ENJOYS Vessels Must Be
Surrendered.

Paris, Jan. 15.-The four American
armistice representatives left for
Treves, where Marshal Foch is pre-
senting the new terms laid down by
the supreme council of the peace con-
gress to the German commission.
The party consisted of Admiral Will
liam Sheppard Benson, chief of opera
tons of the United States navy; Nor
man II. Davis, representing the United
States treasury; Edward n. Hurley,
chairman of the American shipping
board, and Louis P. Sheldon, who will
represent Herbert C. Hoover, the
American food administrator.
A report presented to the council
having charge of carrying out the
naval terms of the armistice stated,
according to the morning newspapers,
that the interallied commission which
visited Kiel and Wilhelmshaven dis
covered submarines under construction
in slips, which the enemy thought
would be overlooked. The report adds
that the Germans contended that they
were entitled to retain possession of
the underwater craft.
According to the report the discov-
cry at Kiel and Wilhelmshayen led to
the finding OF other vessels and conse-
quently the new terms of the armis-
tice will require the surrender of all
submarines already built and the de-
struction of those on the ways.
