Renewal of Armistice Terms Drawn for Germany
Paris reports indicate new armistice terms will reduce the German army to about 20 divisions and tighten control over Ruhr and West Baden industries. Provisions expect 2000 heavy cannons 10000 field pieces 50000 machine guns and 1200 aircraft to be available to allies. Conditions may ease economic pressure while maintaining military pressure with possible food from the Allies after devastated nations are served. A date for prolongation and enforcement if missteps is forecast.
