The Allies have informed Germany that they will not put

the Peace Treaty into force until she recognizes, and promises to atone for, her numerous breaches of the Armistice. She is required to deliver up five light cruisers and floating docks, tugs, and dredgers with a total displacement of 400,000 tons in sub- stitution for the warships scuttled at Scapa. The officers and men who perpetrated that deed are to remain prisoners until the cruisers and docks have been given up. Germany has still to deliver 42 locomotives and 4,460 wagons. She has also failed to evacuate the Baltic Provinces. The Allies reserve the right to use military force if these obligations are !IA, fulfilled.
