World War, 1914-1918
Article I. Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey, on the
one hand, and Rumania on the other, declare the state of war ended
and that the contracting parties are determined henceforth to live
together in peace and friendship.
Article II. Diplomatic and Consular relations between the
contracting parties will be resumed immediately after the
ratification of the peace treaty. The admission of Consuls will be
reserved for a future agreement.
Clause 2.--_Demobilization of the Rumanian Forces._
Article III. The demobilization of the Rumanian Army, which is now
proceeding, will immediately after peace is signed be carried out
according to the prescriptions contained in Articles IV. and VII.
Article IV. The regular military bureau, the supreme military
authorities and all the military institutions will remain in
existence as provided by the last peace budget. The demobilization
of divisions eleven to fifteen will be continued as stipulated in
the treaty of Focsani signed on March 8 last. Of the Rumanian
divisions one to ten, the two infantry divisions now employed in
Bessarabia, including the Jäger battalions which are the remnants of
dissolved Jäger divisions, and including two cavalry divisions of
the Rumanian Army, will remain on a war footing until the danger
arising from the military operations now being carried on in the
Ukraine by the Central Powers ceases to exist.
The remaining eight divisions, including the staff, shall be
maintained in Moldavia at the reduced peace strength. Each division
will be composed of four infantry regiments, two cavalry regiments,
two field artillery regiments, and one battalion of pioneers,
together with the necessary technical and transport troops. The
total number of the infantry of the eight divisions shall not exceed
20,000 men; the total number of cavalry shall not exceed 3,200; the
entire artillery of the Rumanian Army, apart from the mobile
divisions, shall not exceed 9,000 men. The divisions remaining
mobilized in Bessarabia must, in case of demobilization, be reduced
to the same peace standard as the eight divisions mentioned in
Article 4.
All other Rumanian troops which did not exist in peace time will at
the end of their term of active military service remain as in peace
time. Reservists shall not be called up for training until a general
peace has been concluded.
