During the brief period of the renew*
<m* armistice, a special commission will
definitely draft the conditions on the
armistice. which will last till the sig
nature of the peace preliminaries.
These conditions, which the supreme
war council is reported to hare approv?

view, it is said, the demobilisation of
the Germauy army and the dlsarmt
ment of the enemy under the supervis

understood, will be communicated to Ger
many so that the national assembly at
Weimar will have time to deliberate
upon them until the .provisional armls
tlce expiree.
It Is reported that M, Clcmenceau
