The president drove to the capitol at 12:40 o'clock through streets thronged with cheering people.

The strictly military terms of the armistice are embraced in eleven specifications, which include the evacuation of all invaded territories, the withdrawal of the German troops from the left bank of the Rhine and the surrender of all supplies of war.

The naval terms provide for the surrender of 160 submarines, 50 destroyers, six battle cruisers, ten bat tleships, eight light cruisers and other miscellaneous ships. Beside the surrender of 160 submarines, it is re quired that all others shall have their crews paid off, put out of commission and placed under the super vision of the allied and American naval forces. Among the financial terms included are restitu tion for damage done by the German armies; restitu tion of the cash taken from the National Bank of Bel gium and return of gold taken from Russia and Ru i mania.

DRAFT CALLS CANCELED BY PRESIDENT'S ORDER WASHINGTON, Nov. ll.-By order of President Wilson, Provost-Marshal General Crowder today di rected the cancellation of all outstanding draft calls, stopping the movement during the next five days of 252,000 men and setting aside all November calls for over 300,000 men. A small number of men in Eastern states Com menced entraining at 6 a.m. today for cantonments under the calls, and the cancellation comes too late to alter their status. They will be considered as in the army until demobilized. Men not yet entrained, whether specially inducted or assembled by general call, for whom the day and hour of service has been set by draft boards, will be considered as honorably discharged, and so paid. Calls for the navy and marine corps are not af fected by the cancellation, and entrainments of men for these services will continue as ordered. Draft boards will continue classification of registrants of Sept. 12. Secretary Baker later announced that so far as practical all men who have been called and who have not yet completed their training will be immediately turned back to civilian life. Mr. Baker made this statement after a confer ence which included the heads of practically every im portant bureau of the war department. He said that more comprehensive announcements concerning the situation would be made later.

Alt were drowsy, but as a whole they were much of the opinion that the night was golnr. to get by without any Information com ing In. Then: "Flash"' yelled Petty, and every man was on his feet. "The armistice has been signed'" Petty called out each word. "Official!" he added, and there was something doing. A linotype machine hummed. In an other minute the type was in the form. Half a minute later and down went the form to the pressroom, where stereotypers soon had It cast for the big presses, and "There she goes!" It wns a great night In Memphis, but the biggest of all will come Mon day night. So turn out and make It a universal peace celebration. Capt. R. ('..
