The War Has Ended


The world war was brought to
a close Monday at IL O'Clock
when hostilities with the surren-
der of Germany and the full &C
complishment of all that the al
lies contended for or could
legitimately desire. While the
term unconditional surrender"
is not used the articles signed
the agreement names the hard
est terms ever imposed by one
civilized people upon another.
Germany made war hard and at
the end of her strength. she
quits with hard terms as She
deserves.
The allies bind themselves to
quit fighting provided Germany.
carries out her part of the agree,
ment, but reserves the right to.
reopen the war if a single
stipulation is not faithfully met
by the enemy.
Germany on her part, agrees
to quit fighting; to evacuate all
territory not neld by her on
August l, 1914, and Alsace-
Lorraine besides; repudiate her
treaties made with Russia and
Roumania; to repair the damage
done by armies, submarines and
aircraft; to return the gold and
valuable paper taken from Bel
GUM and turn over the gold
taken from Russia and Rouma-
lnia to the allies; to evacuate all
her own territory west OF the
Rhine which is to be occupied by
| the allies and in addition from
80 to 40 kilometers east of that
river; to pay the expenses OF the
army of occupation; to surrender
all prisoners both military and
political including those tried
and convicted for offenses, while
her own subjects are still held
by the allies; to surrender to the
allies 5000 guns (cannon), 10000
machine guns, 5000 mine throw
ers, 1000 airplanes, 100 subma-
rines, 6 battle cruisers, 10 battle
ships, 8 light cruisers and 80
destroyers; to return all allied
vessels both naval and merchant;
to evacuate the Black sea ports
now held and turn over to the
allies the Russian vessels held;
and others of less importance.
These indeed are hard terms
but they do not go beyond what
justice demands, if indeed they
reach far enough. They make il
impossible for Germany to renew
the war or enter another fol-
many years to coneandi is to b.
hoped that she may never b.
able to make war again anC
cease for all time troubling The
world.

Health Board Asks
 Penn to Cancel Game

Philadelphia, Oct 24-Dr. Krusen, head of the health board, announced yesterday that he was going to re- quest the University of Pennsylvania to cancel its football game with the Marines, scheduled for Franklin Field Saturday. This is the fourth week that Pennsylvania has been asked to call off game on account of the epidemic.
 "It is not the fact that a crowd will attend the game" said Dr. Kru- sen. When the spectators arc watching the game there is little fear of contagion. but it is the crowded condition of the trolleys that lead tt the field that is dangerous
 It Is probable the graduate manag- CT at the university will offer Dr. Kru- sen a counter suggestion. Both Penn sylvania and the Marines are anxi. ous to see the game played, and it is probabls will be contested if it has tc be played behind locked gates, as was the case in the battle against the U s. S. Minnesota last Saturday.
 G Both Pennsylvania and the Marine: went right ahead with their practice for the game on Saturday. Bill Hol lenback paced the Quakers through snappy signal drill, and with Eddie Greene, the former star punter, spen considerable time with the kickers.
 Shiro Akahoski, the little Jap, wht is making bid for varsity berth played a swell game and handled for ward passes like a veteran.

ORIGINATES "GRAND OLD MAN

Frank c. Bancroft, "Dean of the Diamond" and "The Grand Old Man" of baseball finished his long baseball career at the close of the 1918 season. The former business maager of Cincinnati will cele- brate his 18th birthday today and it will be a sort of lonesome celebration for "Banny" will for the first time in 40 years be out of baseball.
 Mr. Bancroft was known as the Transforming King" and in his long career he has probably led more post season tours than all other baseball men combined. In Cuba they know him as the Father of Baseball. Il was in 1879 that he led a ball club tc the island and gave the Cubans theil | first sight of the diamond pastime. He also introduced the game to the Hawaiians.
 | MT. Bancroft's connection witt baseball commenced in New Bedford Mass, in 1877. In 1S44 he was the | manager of the Providence club which captured the National League | pennant, and then won the frs worlds series from the Metropolitans | This series was played in New York and Bancroft took all the games O. | the serie:; with ease. It was thi same aggregation which set up { record of 20 consecutive victories which stood until it was surpassed , by the New York Giants in September 1916. Radbourne and Sweeney wert Bancroft's pitchers at Providence with Gilligan and Maya behind tn, bat. Joe Start, John Farrell, Jerr! Denny and Arthur Irwin comprised the infield of the Greys and Cliff Carroll, Paul Hines and Paul Rad ford were in the outer garden.
 It was in 1891 that MT. Bancrof was engaged. by John T. Brush a business manager of the Cincinnati club, and he held that job until tn end of the past season, or for period of 27 years.
 Besides being veteran of the base ball world Bancroft is also a veteran of the Grand Army. He served fou yearsyears during the Civil War in tn Eighth Regiment of Kew Hampshir Volunteers.
