 Germany is to restore within six months the Koran or the Caliph Oth man, formerly at Medina, to the king of the Hedjaz, and tne skull of the Sultan Okwawa. formerly in German East Africa, to His Br;iannic Majesty's S government. The German government is also to restore to the French gov ernment certain papers taken by the German authorities Tn 1870, belonging to M. Reuher, and to restore the French flags taken during the war of 1S70-1S71.
 Section Nine.
 German Pre- War Debt.
 Finance. Powers 70 which German territory is ceded will assume certain portion of the German pre-war debt, the amount to be fixed by the repara- tions commission on tne basis of the ratio between the revenue of the ced- ed territory and Germany's total rev. enues for the three years preceding the war. In view, however, of the spe- ciaL circumstances under which Alsace Lorraine was separated from France in 1871, when Germany rerused to accept any part of the French public debt, France will not assume any part of Germanys pre-war debt there, nor will Poland share in certain German debts incurred for the oppression of Poland. If the value of the German public property in ceded territory exceeds the amount of debt assumed, the states to which property ceded give credit on reparation TOT the excess, with the exception of Alsace LOT raine. Mandatory powers will not as- sume any German debts or give any credit for German government prop erty. Germany renounces all right of Representation on, or control of, state banks, commission or other similar international, financial. and economic organizations.

 Germany Is to dei,ver to the allied and associated powers all sums de- posted in Germany by Turkey and Austria Hungary in connection with the financial support extended by her 10 them during the war, and to trans fer to the allies aH claims against Austria Hungary, Bu'garia or Turkey in connection with agreements made during the war.
