Germany's failure to carry out the disarmament require ments of the Versailles treaty were, outlined in detail in the note the allied powers have presented to the German government, the text of which was made public here today. The note was handed to Chancellor Luther at Berlin yesterday morning, by Baron Du Abernon, the British ambassador, representing the council of ambas sadors. '. Germany must comply5 with an extensive list of rectifications and demands before the disarmament obligations of the peace treaty are considered fulfilled, justifying the evacuation of the first, or Co logne zone of occupation In ac cordance with the Versailles pact. The chief of these demands in cludes radical modifications of the Reichswer's general staf f , " reduc tion of the country's military forces to 100,000, men, and sup pression of short term enlistments. The military character of the se curity police must be abolished arid the force itself reduced jfrom 180,000 to 150,000. Wholesale destruction of industrial plants- of the Kruppe and a dozen other big concerns is demanded. !. The note states the allied gov ernments "consider it of capital importance to place in the fore ground of their argument that the defaults unless promptly rectified would in the aggregate enable the German government eventually to reconstitute an army modeled on the principles- of a nation in arms."

In fact, it now rests with the German government itself to cre ate conditions under which evacu ation can speedily be effected."
