Article V. Guns, machine guns, small arms, horses, and cars and
ammunition, which are available owing to the reduction or the
dissolution of the Rumanian units, shall be given into the custody
of the Supreme Command of the allied (Teutonic) forces in Rumania
until the conclusion of a general peace. They shall be guarded and
superintended by Rumanian troops under supervision of the allied
command. The amount of ammunition to be left to the Rumanian Army in
Moldavia is 250 rounds for each rifle, 2,500 for each machine gun,
and 150 for each gun. The Rumanian Army is entitled to exchange
unserviceable material at the depots of the occupied region, in
agreement with the allied Supreme Command, and to demand from the
depots the equivalent of the ammunition spent. The divisions in
Rumania which remain mobilized will receive their ammunition
requirements on a war basis.
Article VI. The demobilized Rumanian troops to remain in Moldavia
until the evacuation of the occupied Rumanian regions. Excepted from
this provision are military bureaus and men mentioned in Article 5,
who are required for the supervision of the arms and material laid
down in these regions. The men and reserve officers who have been
demobilized can return to the occupied regions. Active and formerly
active officers require, in order to return to these regions,
permission of the chief army command of the allied forces.
Article VII. A General Staff officer of the allied powers, with
staff, will be attached to the Rumanian Commander in Chief in
Moldavia, and a Rumanian General Staff officer, with staff, will be
attached as liaison officer to the chief command of the allied
forces in the occupied Rumanian districts.
Article VIII. The Rumanian naval forces will be left to their full
complement and equipment, in so far as their views, in accordance
with Article IX., are not to be limited until affairs in Bessarabia
are cleared, whereupon these forces are to be brought to the usual
peace standard. Excepted herefrom are river forces required for the
purposes of river police and naval forces on the Black Sea, employed
for the protection of maritime traffic and the restoration of
mine-free fairways. Immediately after the signing of the peace
treaty these river forces will, on a basis of special arrangement,
be placed at the disposal of the authorities intrusted with river
policing. The Nautical Black Sea Commission will receive the right
of disposing of the naval forces on the Black Sea, and a naval
officer is to be attached to this commission in order to restore
connection therewith.
