LONDON, Nov. 13. The allied
high command has sent to the Ger
man high command by French wire
less a message that there can be no
modification of the conditions of the
armistice, including the annexes, at
this time.
It is added that a supplementary
period of 24 hours for the evacuation
of Belgium, Luxemburg and Alsace
Lorraine has been added to the four
, teen days stipulated in tho original
text, so as to permit the text to reach
German headquarters at the desired
time.
' Allied Decision
The message reads:
"At present no modification can be
made to the conditions indicated by
the texts, including the annexes, at
the time of the signing of the armistice.
"A sunDlomentary period of 24
hours for the evacuation of Belgium
Luxemburg and Alsace-Lorraine has
been added to the period of delay of
fourteen days stipulated by the orig
inal text so as to permit the definite
text arriving at Its destination."
In the Interim, however, the Ger
mans are deprived of even civil ad
ministration In the Rhineland re
gions which will bo taken over by
the allies until the final adjustment
of the results of the conflict. Allied
and United States military author
ities will govern tho country from
which Germany has agreed to with
draw her defeated legions. This
news supplement to the armistice
agreement, it is announced, is ac
companied by the surrender by Ger
many of all her submarines. Under
the original armistice agreement.
only 160 U-boats were to be turned
over to the allies.
IIolslicvUU Recognized
The grim spectre of Bolshevism
has appeared out of the turmoil of
revolution in Germany and has re
ceived recognition at Berlin. This
would seem to indicate that the truo
socialist movement has taken a new
turn, the strength of which Is
great that it cannot be Ignored. Vp
till a short time ago the Bolshevist
element was so small In Germany
that it appeared to be negligible.
To guard against disorders In Bus
slan provinces occupied by tho Ger
man troops, tho allies have agreed
that Germany need not call these
forces home until it Is considered
safe to do so.
It has been officially announced at
Vienna that Emperor Charles I has
abdicated. This confirms cable aa
vices received yesterday that he had
given un the scepter. The latest of
the minor rulers of German states to
quit his throne is Prince Helnrich
XXVII of Reuss.
Ucvollltinnists Seize Navy
"According to advices from Bio-
men, the revolutionist sailors of the
German navy have seized all the war
shins of the omnire and have estab
llshed their control of Helgoland
What effect this will have on the
agreement of Germany to surrender
a certain number of vessels to the
allies cannot as vet be determined
Tho training ship Schlessen Is said
to have been sunk by revolutionary
warshlns.
Bolshevist forces In the Lake Bal
kal region in Siberia have been de
feated by tho Czecho-Slovak and al
lied forces operating there. It Is re
ported that Bolshevist resistance in
that section has been broken.
It Is reported that the new Rouma
nian government has declared war
on Germany.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
THE FRONT. Nov. 13. The Amen
can nrmv is niiirkinir lime until orders
come from Marshal Foeh for the next
move. The roads near tho front are
filled wth the panoply of the war that
has ended. The soldiers are wonder
ing when thev will get home.
Very few German soldiers are seen
along the front line, giving rise to th
belief Unit plans already are under
war for the 'retirement back to thei-
own border.
The German command will have a
difficult task, it is believed, to ac
complish this in time because since
the Americans have cut the Mczieres
Longuvon line at Sedan, the Oennnns
have onlv one main line over which to
return to Ciennany. This line runs
tlironirh Liege.
The terms of the armistice forbid
American airplanes from coins over
the German lines and innsniuch as no
prisoners arc being taken, it is virtu-
lily impossible to sret nnv information
us to the movements of the German
nrmv.
The hours since the cessation of
hostilities have wromrht a wonderful
change on the front. Silence has re
placed the roar of buttle. Ambu
lances are narked along the road in
stead of bowline along on errands of
mercv.
The marchiiiir columns of troops
going into battle have been replaced
hv laughing groups of American and
French soldiers rejoicing over sue
cess of their ureal efforts. Every one
seems to take it so m-antci! that the
war cannot start airain. Only one
thintr goes on as it did before the
work of the German prisoners. ISv
thousands thev are repairing the
damage Gorman aims and mines have
done to the roads in Franco. Thev
have a large task ahead of them.
