said IoimkIiI the statement of Premier

on the President's correspondence with '

a specilie statement, that by restoration ;
is meant that <jerrnany must make com- ;
V . i it"' 1
peusation for all damage done to civil
ian populations and their property, "by
land. h.v son and from I lie air."
This lnM specification, in which Pres
ident Wilson concurs, incnns German
payment for towns and cities destroyed
and countryside devastated, for ship*
sunk h.v submarine* and rui<Iers. It
lucutis German payment of daman's to
the families and dependents of civilians
Killed or carried off in violation of the
rules of war.
Thus, much ? ? f the real work of a
peace conference lias been done in ad
vance. The spokesmen of Germany ( have
accepted the President's terms : .now they,
must accept the allied ijualificat ions if
they want to stop the advance of the
allied and American armies. The guar
antee tha%>tinal pence conditions will
In* dictated under interpretation of prin
ciples l?,\ the victors without undue ar
gument by I he vanquished is-, provided
in the anuis-tice terms.
In placing the matter oT an armi*
tice in Marshal Koch's hands and a:
the Mime time, in forming the Germans
through President WiTson. the associated
nations have strictly observed the dip
lomatic amenities while maintaining the
purpose to make thes armistice a purely
military measure and which should af
ford no possibility of a misunderstand
ing of the fact that, it is offered to a
defeated army.
