		+	agreements entered into by her with the Maximalist Government in
		+	Russia, and in order to ensure the restoration of peace and good
		+	government in the Baltic Provinces and Lithuania, all German troops
		+	at present in the said territories shall return to within the
		+	frontiers of Germany as soon as the Governments of the Principal
		+	Allied and Associated Powers shall think the moment suitable,
		+	having regard to the internal situation of these territories. These
		+	troops shall abstain from all requisitions and seizures and from
		+	any other coercive measures, with a view to obtaining supplies
		+	intended for Germany, and shall in no way interfere with such
		+	measures for national defence as may be adopted by the Provisional
		+	Governments of Esthonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. <br><br>
		+	No other German troops shall, pending the evacuation or after the
		+	evacuation is complete, be admitted to the said territories.
