GREAT WAR OVER
Continued from page one
The German war machine must disarm and her navy
must be handed over to the Allies, together with it ammu
nition and supplies.
Germany must immediately evacuate Belgium, Alsace
Loraine, Luxemburg, Russia and Roumania, without further
destruction of property or harm to inhabitants. These
countries to be occupied by the Allied armies who are also
to be given control of a number of Germany’s most strongly
fortified border towns.
All American and Allied prisoners held by Germany
must be released at once, while all German prisoners held
by the Allies will be held until final peace terms are con
cluded and ratified.
Provisions for compensating the nations invaded by
Germany, who must make full payment for the havoc
wrought by her armies, is contained in the terms in the
simple sentence—full reparation for all damage done.
To sum up the situation briefly, Germany, deserted by
all her allies, is on her knees, disarmed and helpless, ac
cepting terms of abject surrender and pleading for mercy.
The hostilities ended on the
eleventh hour of the elev< nth !
day of the eleventh month oi
191H. The American infan
trymen, in true sportsmanlike
fashion kept the time. Their
eyes were on their wristwatches
as they advanced up the Meuse
and Moselle sectors in the tear
that they would fire a shot al
ter the stipulated time for the
cessaion of hostilities arrived.
Not one whit less exact in their
sportsmanship were the Ameri
can artillerymen behind the
lines, who awaited to the sec
ond the time for the calling
off of the fighting, and then
loosened their big guns—a
thousand of them—a rain of
shells as a parting salute to
the defeated foe.
The countries which fought
Germany and her vassals for
more than four years have em
erged from it completely tri
umphant, but within the bor
ders of the countries which
menaced the peace of the
whole work! stalks revolt, fam
ine and anarchy.
Last of Great Autocracies
The German empire was the
last of the great autocracies
whose fall mark the real sig
nificance of the war. In Rus
sia, Austria-Hungary, and fin
ally in Germany, irresponsible
powers gave way before the ir
resistible forces of democracy.
Germany, holding on to the
last, kept up the hopeless
struggle until Field Marshal
von Hindenburg’s prophetic
words, early in the war, came
true. The side with the strong
est nerves, he said, would win.
It was the crumbling of the
home front, which made it im
possible for Germany, despite
her great armies in the field,
to carry on any longer.
The collapse of Germany
brings the eclipse of the Ger
man idea of the state, as op
posed to the doctrine of indi
vidual rights, to which the na
tion clung with hardly a dis
senting voice until recently.
Under this regime there was
developed a nation of which
militarism was the embodiment
which murdered and plunder
ed, was heedless of the rights
of the individual and made
terrorism a matter of studied
policy. Its system of espion
age, corruption, and violence
extended over the world. It
was exemplified by plots car
ried out in this country under
the direction of its Government
for the destruction of munition
plants and ships before the
United States entered the war,
and by effort of the German
government to embroil this
country, then neutral, in war
with Japan and Mexico. No
capital of Europe was free
from German secret agents in
the years preceding the war,
and all nations lived in grow
ing dread of the huge military
machine which Germany was
building.
The ending of this greatest
of conflicts has come with
dramatic swiftness. Four mon
ths ago the German military
power apparently was at its
heighth. The unchecked forc
es of the enemy had battered
their way through the French
and British lines until Paris
was in danger and the British
were fighting with their backs
to the wall to prevent them
selves from being forced to the
sea. Late in July the world
was thrilled with the news oi
of an allied counter-attack be
tween the Msne and the Mar
ne. The Germans were hurled
back along the whole sector
and since that day the victori
ous progress of the allies have
been maintained.
Various causes have contrib
uted to this reversal. The en
trance of America into the
struggle with her vast resourc
es of men and materials is con
ceded by the allies to have
turned the scale. One of the
most important effetcs of this
country’s act was the hearten
ing to an enormous extent the
allied nations and a corres
ponding weakening of Ger
many.
Beginning of the War
It was late in June, 1914,
that the world was stirred by
the murdei in Sarajevo, Bos
nia, of Archduke Francis Fer
dinand, the Austrian heir-ap
parent, an*! his wife. Austria,
backed by Germany, accused
Serbia of instigating the crime
and made demands which Ser
bia accepted in part. Austria
would not agree to arbitrate
the demands not accepted by
Serbia, and the Foreign Offi
cers in London, Paris and Pe
trograd failed to swerve Aus
tria from her course.
Austria-Hungary began hos
tilities on July 27, 1914, by at
tacking Serbia and within a
week Germany had joined her,
while France.Great Britain and
Russia had thrown their forc
es against Germany and Aus
tria. As the war went on the'
number of nations involved in
creased until the conflict be
came the greatest in the his
tory of the world.
Declaring war on France,
Germany on August 1, 1914,
threw her armies toward Fran
ce by way of Belgium. Fight
ing for the maintenance of
their neutrality, the Belgians
checked the on-coming hordes
for a time, but within two mon
ths the Prussian armies were
within a few miles of Paris,
from which the French govern
ment fled.
One of the vital moments of
the war arrived. In a battle
of dramatic changes the enemy
hordes were hurled to north of
the Marne.
Turkey soon entered the war
on the side of Germany and
Italy joined the allies. Bulgar
ia came in with Germany and
Serbia and Montenegro were
overrun.

many by peaceful means to
conduct her ruthless submarine
warfare in keeping with inter
national law, threw her forces
into the struggle.
Germany, at the beginning
of 1918, announced her pur
pose to end the war by an of
fensive in France. It was her
last mighty effort and for
weeks the world wondered
when tin* enemy hordes would
be stopped. The turn in the
fighting came on July 18, when
Marshal Foch launched the
Americans and French in an
attack. Since that fateful lay
for Germany, the allied armies
on all fronts have met with
continued success.
Germany’s ultimate defeat
became more certain as the
summer advanced. The first
break in the ranks of the cen
