Within five weeks after this vote the second zone,
whose southern boundary runs from the North Sea south of the Island of
Fehr to the Baltic south of Sygum, will vote by communes. Two weeks
after that vote the third zone running to the limit of evacuation will
also vote by communes. The international commission will then draw a new
frontier on the basis of these plebiscites and with due regard for
geographical and economic conditions. Germany will renounce all
sovereignty over territories north of this line in favor of the
Associated Governments, who will hand them over to Denmark.
HELIGOLAND
[Sidenote: Fortifications to be destroyed.]
The fortifications, military establishments, and harbors of the Islands
of Heligoland and Dune are to be destroyed under the supervision of the
Allies by German labor and at Germany's expense. They may not be
reconstructed, nor any similar fortifications built in the future.
RUSSIA
[Sidenote: Brest-Litovsk treaty to be abrogated.]
Germany agrees to respect as permanent and inalienable the independency
of all territories which were part of the former Russian Empire, to
accept the abrogation of the Brest-Litovsk and other treaties entered
into with the Maximalist Government of Russia, to recognize the full
force of all treaties entered into by the allied and associated powers
with States which were a part of the former Russian Empire, and to
recognize the frontiers as determined thereon. The allied and associated
powers formally reserve the right of Russia to obtain restitution and
reparation on the principles of the present treaty.
