Washing gtOn.-Ihe state department
made public the text of the drastic
ultimatum delivered to Germany by
the Allies and the associated powers
demanding that she forthwith With
draw her troops now under command
of General Won der GoltZ from the Bal
tic provinces.
The ultimatum was sent by Mar
shal Foch. Since that time Germany
has answered evasively so that it be-
came necessary to carry out the threat
of the ultimatum
1t is evident from the statement that
the United States is a party to the
plan to coercion against Germany, as
the United States is one of the assO-
ciated powers. In brief, the terms of
the ultimatum are that failing the
evacuation as demanded the Allies and
associated powers will prevent any
foodstuffs or raw materials from enter
ing Germany and would refuse all
financial facilities which the German
government is enjoying from the Allies
and associated powers.
AS to the actual blockade, navy Off
cias said that inaSmuch as the United
States has very few ships in the area
of blockade the burden of its physical
enforcement would fall on England and
France
The text of the note presented to the
German government follows:
According to the terms of article
twelve of the armfstice of November
II. 1918, Germany subscribed to the
following engagement:
All German troops at present in any
territory which before the war belong
ed to Austria Hungary, Rumania, or
Turkey, shall withdraw within the
frontiers of Germany as they existed
August l, 1914, and all German troops
at present in territories which before
the war formed part of Russia must
likewise return to within the frontiers
of Germany, above defined as soon as
the Allies shall think the moment suit
able, having regard to the internal situ-
alton in these territories.
Under the date of August 81, Mar
shal Foch, commander in chief of the
allied and associated armies made
known the time had come for Germany
to evacuate the said territories and
summoned the government to proceed
thereto Immediately.
BY its note of September 8, the Ger
man government endeavored to evade
the engagement above referred to by
alleging preteXts which the Allied and
associated powers were unable to con-
slider.
The Allied and associated govern
ments refuse particularly to admit
that the German government can, in
order to avoid responsibility incumbent
upon it, shield itself behind alleged in
ability to enforce obedience of its or
ders by troops in the Baltic regions.
They therefore request the German
government to proceed without delay
to the evacuation of all German troops,
staffs. and services included now in the
Baltic provinces. The German govern
ment will Immediately take necessary
steps to withdraw within aforesaid
boundaries all German officers and sol
dfers who Lave enlisted since demobi-
llZdllOl III huSSldu COl pS OISuLlASu III
the said Baltic provinces and will with
hold authorization for and strictly for
bid enlistment in said corps.
Evacuation must be started imme-
diately and must continue without in
terruptiOn.
The Allied and associated govern
ments hereby notify that unless they
are satisfied that their demands are
being effectively executed, they will not
entertain any of the applications put
forward by the German government
for supply of food stuffs and raw ma
terials. They have consequently given
instructions not to proceed with the
examination of any of these applica-
tions. Furthermore, the Allied and
associated governments will refuse all
financial facilities which the German
government is enjoying at present.
