World War Ends When Teutons Admit
Defeat and Accept the Terms
Proposed by Allies.
Washington.—Deserted by nil her
allies, her great military machine in
process of deslruction by onslaughts
of the allies armies; her emperor a
fugitive in Holland, with his dream of
world dominion rudely shattered,
Germany lias at last conceded defeat,
and thr world war which lias raged for
fotr years is at an end.
The Huns have surrendered uncon
ditionally to General Foch.
Tile war ended -Monday morning, No
vember HI, at (5 o'clock, Washington
time. 1.1 o'clock Paris time. The arm
istice was signed by 1 lit* German rep
rest otatives at it :.*»0 o'clock Monday
morning and flashed all over .ho coun
try. The result was it demonstration
in every section of America that was
continued fur hours.
The terms of the armistice, it was
announced, will not lie made public
until inter. Military men here, How
ever, regard it as certain they in
clude :
Immediate retirement of the German
military forces from France, Belgium
and Alsace-Lorraine.
Disarming and demobilization of the
German armies.
Occupation by the allied and Amer
ican forces of such strategic points in
Germany as will make impossible a re
newal of hostilities.
Delivery of part of the German high
seas fleet and a certain number of sub
marines to the allied and American
naval forces.
Disarmament of nil other German
warships under supervision of the al
lied and American navies, which will
guard them.
Occupation of Uie principal German
naval liases by sea forces of the vic
torious nations.
Release of allied and American sol
diers, sailors and civilians held pris
oners in Germany without such recip
rocal action by the associated govern
ments.
There was no information as to the
circumstances under which the armis
tice was signed, but since the German
courier did not reach German military
headquarters until 10 o’clock Sunday
momln. French time, it was gen
erally assumed here that ttie* German
envoys wi.tldn the French lines had
been instructed by wireless to sign the
terms.
•■'oi-ty-seven hours had been required
for ttie courier to reach German head
quarters, and unquestionably several
hours were necessary for the exami
nation of the terms and a decision. It
was regarded as possible, however,
that the decision may have heefc made
at Berlin and Instructions trans
mitted from there by the new German
government.
Up to Sunday there were four king
doms in the German empire, namely.
Prussia. Bavaria, Saxony and
Wurttemberg. All but Saxony are now

berg, 3,000,000; total. 51,000,000.
Of the remaining inhabitants of the
empire, it is safe to say, on the
strength of till dispatches, that the ma
jority has joined the revolt.
Late dispatches report the king of
Saxony is also about to abdicate, if
he lias not already done so. He is

Born with a lust for miliinry life,
imbued with an obsession of arms, he
was a vain theatrical youth, consumed
with a desire to leap Into the center
of things and win for Germany and
himself a martial glory with full stage
effect. His one great desire has been
to emulate the example of Frederick
the Great, his ancestor, and carry
glory before him with a drawn svyord.
The kaiser is a man of rapid im

volving Germany In serious difficul
ties. His dream of world domination
plunged tlie world into war In 1 !H4.
Upon him and the tremendous mili

he was the embodiment, the exponent
and the lender, rests the responsibility
of deliberately planning and bringing
about the greatest conflict the world
has ever seen.
It did not matter to the world that
tlie emperor's share in the swift events

him of organizing, directing and main

The queen of Slam owns a toilet

This veil Is a delicate tissue of the

have some resistance.
Part of this three-meters-long veil

the remainder flows down over the tig.
ure and closely nestles to the body.
The veil, which falls over the back,
Is completely sown over with diamond
dust, while the part In front to lea
dusted, so as not to Impair the faca
and the organs of sense. The loweot
ends of the veil are covered with bril
liants.
The tissue of the veil Is so prepared
as to cuuse changes In color when ex
posed to the ulr. No sooner has the
wearer stepped Into the street than
the veil assumes a delicate rosy hue,
which deepens and, as It were, be
comes animate the longer It remain*
In the open. When the queen return*
to her abode the hue passes away and
the veil turns pale and dead as be

The veil has been credited with pny

For a century It has been la the po*.
