4. _Material._ (_a_) _Rolling Stock._--The rolling stock handed over to the Allied Armies in the zone comprised between the present front line and line No. 3 (not including Alsace-Lorraine) will amount at least to 5000 locomotives and 150,000 wagons. This surrender will be carried out within the period fixed by Clause 7 of the Armistice, and under conditions, the details of which shall be settled by the permanent International Armistice Commission. All this material is to be in good condition and in working order, with all the ordinary spare parts and fittings. It may be employed together with the regular personnel or with any other upon any part of the railway system of the Allied Armies. The material necessary for the working of the Alsace-Lorraine railway system is to be maintained or replaced for the use of the French Army. The material to be left _in situ_ in the territories on the left bank of the Rhine, as well as that on the inner side of the bridgeheads elsewhere, should permit of the normal working of the railways in these districts. (_b_) _Permanent Way, Signals, and Workshops._--The material for signals, machine tools, and tool outfits taken from the workshops and depôts of the French and Belgian lines will be replaced under conditions the details of which are to be arranged by the permanent International Armistice Commission. The Allied Armies are to be supplied with railroad material, rails, incidental fittings, plant, bridge-building material, and timber necessary for the repair of the lines destroyed beyond the present front. _Fuel and Maintenance Material._--The German Government shall be responsible throughout the duration of the Armistice for the release of fuel and maintenance material to the depôts normally allotted to the railways in the territories on the left bank of the Rhine. 5. _Telegraphic and Telephonic Communications._--All telegraphs, telephones, and fixed W/T stations are to be handed over to the Allied Armies, with all the civil and military personnel and all their material, including all stores on the left bank of the Rhine. Supplementary stores necessary for the upkeep of the system are to be supplied throughout the duration of the Armistice by the German Government according to requirement. The Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Armies will place this system under military supervision and will ensure its control, and will make all changes and substitutions in personnel which he may think necessary. He will send back to the German Army all the military personnel who are not in his judgment necessary for the working and upkeep of the railway. All plans of the German telegraphic and telephonic systems shall be handed over to the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Armies.
