THE ARMISTICE
HUN DEMANDS
(AustraKan and N.Z. Cable Association; LONDON, Saturday.
"ft is an (ix.iggcration to speak of a rupture in the negotiations at Spa, though some of the Allied delegates have returned to receive fresh instructions. The Germans demand 2,500,000 tons of food, before the harvest, and will not surrender their ships unless this is guaranteed. The Germans also want coal, as bilesia and Westphalia are yielding little. The Germans object to handing over their merchant ships, on the ground that it would throw 40,000 German sailorg out of work. The Allies do not consider it desirable to give a definite promise regarding the length of time the Germans will be given food, in view of evidence that the Germans have deliberately refused to economise their existing stocks, in order to embarrass the Allies.
