headquarters.
Disarming of Ships
At the end of the seven-day
period, which will expire at mid?
night next Sunday, the designated
units of the fleet, the armistice
provides, must be completely dis?
armed.
Prompt artion, even under nor?
mal conditions, would be required
of the German naval forces to dis?
arm vessels of the battle-cruiser
and battleship type within seven
days, naval experts here said.
In some quarters to-night fear
was expressed that, with the Ger?
man navy in a disorganized condi?
tion, owing to the revolution, the
necessary preparations .for turn?
ing over the vessels might not be
completed in the period specified.
Measures Not Known
Action to be taken bj the Allies
and the United States in event the
vessels were not prepared for sur?
render at the expiration of the
allowed period was not indicated
to-night by officials. In auch an
event only two courses were re?
garded as open?either extension
by agreement of the associated
governments of the time period or
forcible seizure. Should forcible
seizure be necessary it was thought
resistance by the disorganized
crews would be a hopeless enter?
prise.
In discussing to-day the naval
terms of the armistice Secretary
Daniels said the Allied and
American navies were prepared
fully to deal with any situation
that might arise. He said that
no intimation of the reported de?
fiance from the revolutionists had
come through any naval channels.
To Protect Troopships
Pending completion of the sur?
render of the ships demanded and
disarming of others, and particu?
larly while any submarines re?
main in German hands, Secretary
Daniels said there will be no re?
laxation in the protection of
troopships and other vessels.
Eventual disposition to be made
of the Austrian and German ships
acquired by surrender has not
been indicated by officials here. It
is regarded as certain that the
Supreme War Council at Ver?
sailles worked out a definite proj?
ect in this respect, which will soon
be disclosed.
A summary of the changes fol?
lows : '
Article 3?Fifteen days instead
of fourteen arc allowed for the
repatriation, beginning at once,
of all the inhabitants removed
from invaded countries, including
hostages and persons under trial
or convicted.
Munitions Surrendered
Article 4, providing for the
surrender of munitions and equip?
ment, reduces the number of ma?
chine gun? to be delivered from
80,000 to 25,000, the number of
aeroplanes from 2,000 to 1,700.
Article 5, providing for the
evacuation by the Germans of
the countries on the left bank of
the Rhine, stipulates that these
countries shall be administered
by "the local trbops of occupa?
tion," instead of by the local
authorities under the control of
the Allied6, and United States
armies, and the occupation is to
be "carried out by" instead of
"determined by" Allied and
United States garrisons holding
strategic points, and the princi?
pal crossings of the Rhine. Thir?
teen days instead of twenty-five
are allowed for completion of the
evacuation.
Article 6, providing that no
damage or harm shall be done to
persons and property in territory
evacuated by the Germans, has a
sentence added specifically stipu?
lating that "no person shall be
prosecuted for offences of partid
pation in war measures prior to
the signing of the armistice."
Article 7, providing for the
abandonment or delivery in good
order to the associated powers of
all roads and means of communi?
cation and transportation in evac?
uated territory, calls for 150,000
wagons (railroad cars), instead
of 50,000; 5,000 motor lorries, in?
stead of 10,000, and requires that
all civil and military personnel at
present employed on such means
of communication and transporta?
tion, including waterways, shull
remain. Thirty-one, instead of
twenty-five, days are allowed for
handing over the material. Thir?
ty-six days are allowed for the
handing over of the railways of
Alsace-Lorraine, together with the
pre-war personnel.
To Reveal Trickery
Article 8?Forty-eight hours is
given the German command to re?
veal destructive measures, such as
polluted springs and wells, and to
reveal and assist in discovering
and destroying mines or delayed
action fuses on evacuated terri?
tory. No time limit was fixed
originally.
Article 0, providing for the
right of requisition by the United
States and Allied armies in occu?
pied territory, has .the clause
added: "Subject to regulation of
accounts with those whom it may
concern."

repatriation without reciprocity of
all Allied and United States pris?
oners of war, including persons un?
der trial or convicted, has the fol?
lowing added: "This condition an?
nuls the previous conventions on
the subject of the exchange of pris?
oners of war, including the one of
July, 1918, in course of ratifica?
tion. However, the repatriation
of German prisoners of war in?
terned in Holland and in Switzer?
land shall continue as before. The
repatriation of German prisoners
of war shall be regulated at the
conclusion of the preliminaries of
peace."
Withdrawal From Russia
Article 12, providing for the with?
drawal of German troops from terri?
tory which belonged before the war
to Russia, Rumania and Turkey, is
rewritten. Territory which belonged
to Austria-Hungary is added to that
from which the Germans must with?
draw immediately, and as to territory
which belonged to Russia, it is pro?
vided that the German troops now
there shall withdraw within the
frontiers of Germany "as soon as
the Allies, taking into account the
internal situation of those terri?
tories, shall decide that the time for
; this has come."
Article 15?"Renunciation" is sub
| stituted for "abandonment" in stipu
? lating that the treaties of Bucharest
' and Brest-Litovsk are nullified.
I Access to Frontier
Article 16, providing free access
for the Allies into territory evacu?
ated through the German Eastern
frontier, is changed so as to declare
; such access is for the purpose of con
| veying supplies to the populations
I "and for the purpose of maintaining
order," instead of "or for any other
purpose."
Article 17, originally providing for
j the "unconditional capitulation"
I within one month of all German
forces operating in East Africa, is
substituted by a clause requiring only
"evacuation by all German forces op
i crating in East Africa within a period
to be fixed by the Allies."
Article 18, providing for the re?
patriation of all civilians belonging
to the Allies or associated powers
other than those enumerated In

demands by the Allies and the United
States shall remain unaffected.

render of 160 German submarines, it

THE FINAL BATTLE LINE
When hostilities ceased on the Western front at 11 a. m., Monday, November II, 1918, the battleliue
ran as follows:
From the Dutch border at Selzaete, along the Lys-Scheldt canal to Ghent, leaving the Scheldt northeast
of Audenarde, passing east of Grammont, four miles east of Mons, seven miles east of Maubeuge, following
the Franco-Belgian frontier to the north of Rocroi, north of Charlevillo and Mezieres, north of the Meuse
to Sedan, southeast to Pagny, and then following the Lorraine frontier to a point northwest of Colmar,
where it entered Alsace and reached the Swiss border south of Altkirch.
j supervision of the Allies and the :
United States." Further provisions j
j are added requiring that all the con
! ditions of the article shall be carried j
! into effect within fourteen days; that ;
| submarines ready for sea shall be
j prepared to leave German ports im
j mediately upon orders by wireless,
and the remainder at the earliest !
possible moment.
Warships To Be Interned
Article 23, providing for the dis?
position of German surface warships,
has additional clauses requiring that
vessels designated for internment
shall be ready to leave German ports
within seven days, upon directions
by wireless, and that the military
armament of all vessels of the aux?
iliary fleet shall be put on shore.
Article 26, providing ) that the
Allied blockade remains unchanged,
I has this sentence added: "The Allies
and the United States should give
consideration to the provisioning of
Germany during the armistice to the
extent recognized as necessary."
Evacuation of Coast
I Article 28, providing conditions
of evacuation of the Belgian coast
(from which the Germans actually
hud betn driven before the armistice
was signed), was changed in minor
particulars.
Article 31, providing that the
| duration of the armistice shall be
j thirty days, and that if its clauseB
are not carried into execution it may
be renounced upon forty-eight hours'
warning, has the following added:
"It is understood that the execu?
tion of Articles 3 and 18 shall not
warrant the denunciation of the
armistice on the gTound of insuffi?
cient execution within a Deriod fixed,
except in the case of bad faith in
carrying them into execution. In or?
der to assure the execution of this
convention under the best conditions,
the principle of a permanent inter?
national armistice commission is ad?
mitted."
Solf Asks Peace
Negotiations Be
Begun at Once
Continued from pag? I
ence with the Allied powers in or?
der to mitigate these fearful con?
ditions."
Solf's Appeal May
Be Effort to Lay
Basis for Clemency
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.2.~-Tho ap?
peal of Dr. Solf, Foreign Secretary
at Berlin, for intervention by Presi?
dent Wilson for mitigation of the
armistice terms to save Germany from
starvation was delivered to Secretary
Lansing to-day by Minister Sulzer of
Switzerland. It was sent immediately
to the President.
Officials oay Dr. Solf is needlessly
alarmed. They point out that in spite
of Germany's treatment of conquered
peoples in her hour of victory, it has
been made very plain that the United
States and the Allies have no intention
of permitting the German people to
starve.
In view of the situation in Germany,
where outside aid may be necessary
to prevent anarchy, it is possible that
the President may sec fit to take up
with the Allied governments the ques?
tion of giving some kind of reas su r
I anee as to the humane purposes of the
'Associated Powers.
Among other things, it is under?
stood the plan is to put the German
merchant marine into service as soon
as possible after the problem created
by the naval revolt is cleared up, and
such vessels as may be necessary will
be employed for sending supplies
through German ports.
It is suggested in some quarters
i that Dr. Solf's plea may be designed
I to lay the foundation for an attempt ?
nn the part of Germany to secure gen?
eral modification of the armistice terras
before the peace conference.
Clemenceau Says
France Will Assist
Germany With Food
(Special Dispatch to The Tribun?)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12? Germany
! purposes to issue a manifesto in trib?
ute to the Allied and American armies,
according to a statement by Premier
Clemenceau of Franco and telegraphed
here to-day. He said:
"The Germans themselves acknowl?
edged in what a great, conciliatory
spirit we carried the discussion re
| specting the armistice, and they pur
I pose to issue a manifesto which is a
homage to France and her allies.
"The German plenipotentiaries par?
ticularly discussed the food question.
j We maintain the blockade, of course,
for the duration of the armistice, but
j as the situation of Germany and Aua
! tria is hopeless we will do our best to
I revictual them as much as we can af
? ford without any inconvenience to our?
selves.
i "The transport question dominates all
j these problems. Germany is to restore
I all the engines (locomotives) and 1.60,
I 000 carriages taken from us. This- will
| not facilitate her own revictualling
j means. Germany waited until tho last
j minute, when, exhausted, she was com
] polled to capitulate. She is not in the
j normal condition which would have en
i abied her to revictual. . From the first
I hour wo must come to 1 er assistance,
j We do not make war on humanity, but
I on behalf of humanity."
To Rush Recruiting
For Merchant Ships
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.?-Orders t<
rush recruiting of men for the crew
j of merchant ships were sent-to-day t<
j agents of the Shipping Board in al
j parts of the countrv.
"We shall want "'thousands of mei
j for our fleets," Chairman Hurley said
? "Our recruiting service and trainin;
! ships will keep right on preparing me:
i for jobs on merchant ships. The yet
t vice is training at present 4,000 ap
i prentices a month, and we are plsinnin;
l/to increase its output. Tho Shippin,
; Board will continue until further no
| tice to accept men between eightee
and thirty-five, inclusive, for training.
Change of Custom Need
Not Mean Sacrifice
WE are bridging a crisis
-?each in his own af?
fairs, as well as the world in a
larger way.
* *
The man that in the past
has paid big prices to the tailor
may feel that he would sacri?
fice his standards by wearing
ready-for-service clothes.
* ?
But it is a change of custom,
merely. If he will step into
either of the five Weber and
Heilbroner clothing stores, he
will have his misgivings dispelled.
* *
Not only our models, but the
scheme of applying them, each
to its particular figure and in?
dividuality, are indentical with
those of the best tailors.
* ?
The whole world has grown
more democratic without losing
any of its smartness?and to
economize with these ready-to
wear clothes is a tribute to your
common sense.
* #
Many of the smartest men
in the metropolis are wearing
them?to the credit of their
appearance as well as their
bank accounts.

Germans Plan Big
Move for Sympathy,
Says Senator Lodge
Declare Americans Must
Have the Kind of Peace
They Want
Would Keep Colonies
German People Sought War
and Backed the Kaiser
Until Defeat
BOSTON. Nov. 12.?Discussing the
pioblems immediately confronting the
government at a victory celebration
ut the City Club to-night, United
States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
warned against a new pacifist and pro
German campaign both in this country
afid in England, which, he soidt was
eure to follow tho signing of the
armistice.
"American opinion," he said, "de
munded an armistice 'that constituted
unconditional surrender. The Ameri
c.'in people may now have the kind of
peace they wish, if it is demanded by
then? and the press. The peace they
want is a peace enforced by physical
guarantees."
Should Restore Poland
Senator IyOdge enumerated the phys?
ical guarantees which he has repeat?
edly described in the Senate and else?
where, but added his opinion that the
German colonies ought not to be re?
turned to Germany and that enough
territory ?hould be taken to restore an
cient Poland and form n barrier be
tvreen Germany and Russia, extending
to the shore s of the Baltic. Then, he
said, it would matter little what kind
of a government finally was set up in
G |-many. It would be powerless to
repeat tho crimes of the Hohenzul
lerns.
The German people, Senator Lodge
said, could not escape responsibility
by shifting the blame to the Emperor
whom they threw over.
People To Blame
"There never was a time," he fiaid,
"when the armies and the people could
not have put an end to the war. They
regarded war as an industry. In their
school books they taught that Germany
was an empire of Central Europe sur?
rounded by enemies. The German peo?
ple wanted to win the war just as
much ae tho Emperor did. They
brought it on deliberately. They
backed the war.
"The German people adhered to the
imperial government until their armies
were beaten in the eld. For forty
years they boasted 'the day,' they
toasted 'the day,' and now 'the day' has
come. They must pay indemnities, and
advocate taking and holding towna
and territory until the. indemnities are
paid.
Blame Revolt to British
LONDON, Nov. 11.?The Press Asso?
ciation learns that Germany is accus?
ing British agents of fomenting the
revolutionary outbreak In the German
navy. The association says it under?
stands on the highest authority that
{hero is not ? the slightest foundation
for the accusation. On the contrary,
the revolution is deeply regretted be?
cause it robbed the British navy of an
opportunity to obtain the naval victory
for which it had been waiting ?since
1914.

A Word
of Appreciation
When the influenza epidemic was at its
height, so many of our operates were absent that it
was impossible to handle promptly all the telephone
calls that were offered.
KNOWING that a word of explanation to the New
York public would relieve the situation, we stated
our case and asked our patrons to assist us by re?
stricting their use of the telephone to necessary calls.
1HE RESPONSE, as was expected, was immediate.
Citizens' associations of all kinds, individual users
both large and small, public telephone agents, in
fact aj? classes of the telephone-using public gave us
splendid cooperation.
I HIS HELP was given cheerfully and willingly and
the inconveniences were accepted with a good humor
that greatly cheered those operators who were work?
ing so ably to carry the load during the absence of
their fellow-workers.
While MANY' of our operators are still away and
some restriction is still necessary on the general use
of the telephone, the worst of a bau1 situation is now
passed and we take this opportunity of expressing
our appreciation of your kindly help.
