Marshal Foch on Sunday last renewed the armistice with Germany,
snaking the new condition that the Germane must cease their military operations against the Poles and respect a temporary frontier which leaves the greater part of Posen to the Polish Republic. The annietioe was renewed for an indefinite period, but may be denounced by the Allies at three days' notice. The German Government showed some hesitation in accepting the new condition, but ultimately yielded. It is reported that the Allies are now formulating demands for the disarmament of Germany, which will be enforced in a revised armistice and in- corporated in the Peace preliminaries. The forts on Heligoland, it is said, are to be destroyed, and the Kiel Canal is to be opened to all merchant ships. The German Army is to be demobilized, and its peace strength is to be greatly restricted.
