The naval conditions imposed upon Germany are not less stringent.
She is to surrender within fourteen days all submarines now in specified ports ; the vessels with full complement are to make for Allied ports, and those which are unseaworthy are to remain under Allied supervision. Ten German battleships, six battle-cruisers, eight light cruisers, and fifty of the best destroyers are to be dis- armed and interned in neutral or Allied ports, with caretakers on board, under Allied surveillance, and must leave their bases by Monday next. The rest of the German Navy, including all naval aircraft, is to be paid off and disarmed and placed under our super- vision. If the ships are not handed over by the mutinous crews, the Allies may occupy Heligoland to enforce the terms. The Allied Navies are to have free access to the Baltic, and may occupy all the German forts guarding the entrances from the Kattegat—a provision which may or may not include the eastern gate of the Kiel Canal. The enemy is to abandon the Black Sea, handing over all the Russian warships and all neutral merchantmen to the Allies. He is to restore all the captured Allied merchantmen and all naval and mercantile marine prisoners, without reciprocity. The Allied blockade is to continue, but the Allies and America " contemplate the provisioning of Germany during the armistice as shall be found necessary "—by using the German merchantmen which have lain idle in German ports during the war.
