What a prayer of thankfulness must ascend from every heart this day! The signed Armistice terms were returned to Marshal Foch Sunday night; the Armistice went into effect at 6 o'clock Monday morning. The State Department at Washington officially announced this fact at 3:30 this morning, and stated that fighting would cease at 6. The Armistice terms are practically the same as the terms accorded Austria Nov. 4th, only somewhat stronger, and rightly so. Germany wi at once disarm, and await the peace terms the Allies see fit to give her! ..yfa fkhtiiirir ended. -The Victory :won! - - ightingi ' I BEAST OF BERLIN ABDICATES The abdication of KAISER "WILLIAM and the renunciation of the throne by the Crown Prince was officially, announced from Berlin Saturday afternoon at 6:15. The Socialist leader of the Reichstag, Friedrich Ebert, is appointed the temporary Imperial Chancellor. A Regency has been established; it is proposed by the German leaders that a general election be held at once for a national assembly that will settle the future form of government for Germany. Kaiser William ha3 fled to Holland at last accounts he was two million miles beyond the North Pole, and still running. The red flag of revolution is flying over a large part of Germany; and while the armistice terms were being con sidered,, Gen. Foch continued to SHOOT peace into the Huns. They are now partaking of their own medicine anarchy seems to be rampant; that which they saddled upon Russia is "coming home to roost." Verily the Scriptural injunction 'whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also i Mm- reap" is again come true. On Tliursday Germany applied to Gen. Foch, the Allied supreme commander, for a conference looking to an armistice. Gen. Fpch agreed. The German delegates crossed the allied line near LaCapelle Thursday night, .riding in automobiles on which were waving white flags. A company of German road builders accompanied the party to the line.; A French squad advanced in front of their lines to meet them, and after blind-folding the emissaries, conducted iliem to a house nearby , where they spent Thursday night. The party then were carried Friday morning to French head quarters, in. theiDepartment of the' Aistie, where Gen. Foch formally presented them with the Allied -.tiil'ollhistice.. The German emissaries consisted of General Winterfeld and General Von j druexinel, Admiral Von Salow, Mathias Erzzeriger and Count Von Oberdernoff. With Marshal Foch wefe"Admrral Sir'Rolyn Webyss, of the British- Navy, Major General Maxine Weygand. of the iFrenchVmy.- ' When the armistice terms were delivered, a demand was also made that they be accepted or rejected within 72 hours. The Germans requested that fighting be stopped in the meantime. Mar shalFoch refused to do so, and fighting has continued during the time the German government was considering the terms. Immediately after delivery of the terms, a special courier was , dispatched by the delegation to German headquarters at Spa where Emperor Wilhelm and his staff was waiting. The terms, while not yet announced, are in line with the terms granted Austria Nov. 4th. These likely call for disbanding the entire German army, giving up all German guns and munitions, possession by the Allies of the principal German forts on the frontier, turning over to the Allies of the entire German Navy, and immediate release of all Allied prisoners now held in Germany. How-.' ever, no German prisoners now held by the Allies will be released until after the peace terms have been signed. , .: 5 While it does not necessarily follow that peace must come by reason of the signing of an armistice, yet in the history of all wars the signing of an armistice such as this one is the forerunner of the peace terms as laid down by the victors. So our people may feel certain that the war i8.$pjrf, overevery thing over but the shouting! A glorious day this ii and a still more glorious time. whe,. our boys come marching home!
