Haig's condition he regard- ‘ed as insufficient, for the German armies after evacuating the invaded .regions would still be in a position to renew a defensive warfare within their own treitorles, and the existing military advantages of the Allies would have been thrown away.

Clemenceau believedthst the terms oi' the armisiic, both naval and mil- itary, were too severe, and that they should be modified. George stated that he thought it might be wise to in

Ciemenceau stated ` that he could not maintain himself I in the Chamber of Deputies unless ‘ this was made a part of the armistice to be submitted to the Germans, and that the French army would also in- sist on this as their due after the lnngoccupation of French soil ‘by tho Germans; but he gave us his word of honor that France would' withdraw after the peace conditions had been fulfilled. I nm inclined to sympathize with the position taken by Clemenceau. ` I pointed out the danger of bringing '

about a stats of Boishevism in Ger- many if the terms of the Armistice were made too stiff, and the conse- quent danger to England. France and Italy. Ciemenceau refused to recog- nise that there_was any danger of Bolshevism in France.
