(iii) THE TERMS OF ARMISTICE WITH AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
(Signed November 3, 1918. Came into force November 4, 1918)
MILITARY CLAUSES
1. The immediate cessation of hostilities by land, sea, and air.
2. Total demobilisation of the Austro-Hungarian Army and immediate
withdrawal of all Austro-Hungarian forces operating on the front
from the North Sea to Switzerland. Within Austro-Hungarian
territory, limited as in Clause 3 below, there shall only be
maintained as an organised military force a maximum of twenty
divisions, reduced to pre-war peace effectives. Half the Divisional,
Corps, and Army artillery and equipment shall be collected at points
to be indicated by the Allies and United States of America for
delivery to them, beginning with all such material as exists in the
territories to be evacuated by the Austro-Hungarian forces.
3. Evacuation of all territories invaded by Austria-Hungary since
the beginning of war. Withdrawal within such periods as shall be
determined by the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied forces on each
front of the Austro-Hungarian Armies behind a line fixed as follows:
From Piz Umbrail to the north of the Stelvio it will follow the
crest of the Rhætian Alps up to the sources of the Adige and the
Eisack, passing thence by Mounts Reschen and Brenner and the heights
of Oetz and Ziller; the line thence turns south, crossing Mount
Toblach, and meeting the present frontier of the Carnic Alps. It
follows this frontier up to Mount Tarvis, and after Mount Tarvis the
watershed of the Julian Alps by the Col of Predil, Mount Manhart,
the Tricorno (Terglou), and the watershed of the Cols di Podbordo,
Podlanischam, and Idria. From this line the point turns south-east
towards the Schneeberg, excluding the whole basin of the Save and
its tributaries; from the Schneeberg it goes down towards the coast
in such a way as to include Castua, Mattuglie, and Volosca in the
evacuated territories.
It will also follow the administrative limits of the present
province of Dalmatia, including to the north Lisarica and Tribanj,
and to the south territory limited by a line from the shore of Cape
Planka to the summits of the watershed eastwards, so as to include
in the evacuated area all the valleys and watercourses flowing
towards Sebenico, such as the Cicola, Kerka, Butisnica, and their
tributaries. It will also include all the islands in the north and
west of Dalmatia. From Premuda, Selve, Ulbo, Scherda, Maon, Pago,
and Puntadura in the north up to Meleda in the south, embracing
Sant' Andrea, Busi, Lissa, Lesina, Tercola, Curzola, Cazza, and
Lagosta, as well as the neighbouring rocks and islets and Pelagosa,
only excepting the islands of Great and Small Zirona, Bua, Solta,
and Brazza.
All territories thus evacuated will be occupied by the troops of the
Allies and of the United States of America.
