3. Regarding the operations of the places mentioned at the beginning
of this article, especially those for receipts and payments, details
shall at once be given to the authorized parties immediately upon
demand. Claims which have been lodged to be dealt with at these
places can only be dealt with in accordance with the stipulations of
Article 14.
Article 13. Land or rights in land or in mines as well as rights in
the use or exploitation of lands, or undertakings, or claims for
participation in an undertaking, especially those represented by
shares, which have been forcibly alienated from the persons entitled
to them by reason of war laws, shall be transferred to the former
owner within a period of one year after the confirmation of the
peace treaty, and there shall be returned to him any profits which
have accrued on such property during the alienation or deprivation,
and this shall be done free from all rights of third parties which
may have arisen in the meantime.
_CHAPTER VI.--Indemnity for Civil Damages_
Article 14. Subjects of one of the contracting parties resident in
the territory of the other contracting party who, by reason of war
laws, have suffered damage either by the temporary or lasting
privation of concessions, privileges, and similar claims, or by the
supervision, trusteeship, administration or alienation of property,
are to be appropriately indemnified so far as the damage by the war
cannot be replaced by the actual re-establishment of their former
conditions. This also applies to shareholders who, on account of
their character as foreign enemies, are excluded from certain
rights.
Article 15. Each of the contracting parties will indemnify the
civilian subjects of the other party for damages which have been
caused to them in its territory during the war by the State
officials or the population there through breaches of international
law and acts of violence against life, health, or property.
Article 16. Each of the contracting parties will at once pay to the
subjects of the other party their just claims so far as this has not
already been done.
