German War Lords
Down and Out
EX-KAISER AND SONS FLEE
Instead of Conquering World
Germany Submits to Most
Humiliating Defeat
Germany is down and out, and the
greatest war in history has ended.
Germany has signed armistice terms
which mean virtually an unconditional
surrender, and hostilities ceased at 11
o’clock Monday morning, November 11.
The kaiser has abdicated and his sons
have been compelled to renounce their
rights of successon. The former kaiser
and his oldest son, the former crown
prince, have fled and are in hiding some
where in Holland.
Thus have the forces of freedom and
right most gloriously triumphed over the
forces of autocracy and military oppres
sion in the most gigantic struggle since
the beginning of time.
The momentous news that Germany
had capitulated, was cabled from Paris to
Washington at 2:45 o’clock Monday
morning, and in a short time the wires
of the Associated Press flashed the news
to the entire world.
It is announced from Washington that
the terms upon which Germany capitu
lated are the most drastic ever forced
upon a defeated nation.
Germany must give up all the fruits
of her robbery, atone for all wrongs
done, and submit to being disarmed to
the point of helplessness.
Stripped of all the malicious power of
her military autocracy, and her former
masters driven into exile, Germany stands
before the world today an object of
mingled pity and contempt, having been
forced to subscribe to terms of surrender
which will go down in history as the most
drastic ever measured out to a defeated
nation.
Following are a few of the principal
things Germany must do at once.
