2 The reparations provided for in the exchange of notes between the United States and Germany culminating in the Armistice of November 11, 1918, executed by the military representatives of the belligerent powers, were limited to reparations for losses to the civilian population. The Lansing note of November 5, 1918, provides that the Allied Powers “ understand that compensation will be made by Germany for all damage done to the civilian population of the Allies and their property by the aggression of Germany by land, by sea, and from the air.” Italics appearing throughout this opinion are, as a rule, added by the Commission.
