SUDDEN ENDING OF . GREAT WAR BRINGS
 GRAVE PROBLEMS
Every Effort Will Be Made to Restore Needed Men
 to Civil Duties
By HUGH w. ROBERTS.

Washington, November 12.-(SpeciaL) ) It is realized at the war department and particularly by the provost marshal gen. eral that the upbuilding of the army has ceased with a suddenness almost unpre- cedented in the annals of history.
 Germany's collapse and consequent sur render came like a bolt from the blue. There had been, in the minds of the people, a suspicion that within a year the war would end but only to the inner circle of the White House condolences was the imminence of peace discovered.
 The end of the war came suddenly to the average member of the House and Senate.
 The denouement was abrupt The with drawal of the Kaiser Wilhelm from Prus- sia, his internment in Holland, the dec- laration of republican form of govern ment by Wurttemburg, Bavaria and other integral portions of the one time powerful German empire had not been. foreshad- owed by the officials who organized and maintained America fighting forces
 The fact that the end of the war was near was a matter for diplomatic con- cealment, undoubtedly with great wisdom but certainly with the result that the leaders in Congress had scant opportun- sty to realize that the end was so close
 Dht ACS didlGSS VI tIl0 SuQutilueSS OI 4ermany's debacle, notwithstanding the eaplete surrander which Marshal Foch sol the other allied commanders have .sfsa ed upon the half formed government
 iermany the fact remains that unless circumstances outside the anticipations of the most pessimistic shall arise the end of actual hostilities is at hand.
 America has 100000 men overseas. It IS not to be imagined that even the neces- rsitions policing of the entire German na- 'tion would require a larger number of armed citizens. It is the belief in Con- gress that the end is in sight and the demand is already sounding for the re- turn of every available man to duty in order that the revival of industry shall be as speedy and as certain as possible
 Delays with view to the reduction of the encamped force and homeward trans portation at a reasonable rate of speed will be tolerated but Congress wants the American army on American soil demo- bilized and the demobilization will be just as rapid as that known demand sug- gests.

YORK CELEBRATES
 IN GRAND FASHION

To the Editor of the Age Herald:
 All whistles that could make noise, all bells that had a clapper, all fire arms that could explode a cap, were brought into use this morning. at o'clock, when the wires flashed the news that the armistice had been signed
 The largest demonstration that has ever been pulled off in our little city, happened this morning at o'clock.
 The parade was five blocks long, and old Glory was flying at full mast, the crowd was well supplied with flags, horns, COW bells and many noise makers. to say nothing of their costumes.
 It is estimated that. we have a popula- tion of 1400 people, but will say that there were at least l600 souls in the parade. Even the lame and bed-ridden were in the line of march. After the parade was ended all the people, gath cred at the high school where prayer and patriotic song services and short speeches were made
 Negroes were also in the parade, bring ing up the rear of the line of march. They rendered song Gin their own way) Coming Home" and it was quite a suc- cess. The crowd was dismissed with prayer.
 At the time of this writing the thanks giving and celebrating is still going on.
 York has gone over the top on every thing in this war and she was not a stacker this morning as she went over the top about three times and still going.

It is asserted that the northern fleet and HelgoIand, the island bastion defending the coast of northern Germany, are in the hands of the mutineers, who have called upon the sailors to de- fend the country against the "un- heard of presumptiono contained in the allied armistice terms.
 Amendments of the armistice terms to Germany show that the allies are more exacting in their demands than was at first re- ported. The Teutons are to be stripped entirely of their subma- rines, instead of 16O, as first was stipulated.

Lacy Fails to Appear
 Before Pardon Board

Montgomery, November 12.-(Sps cial >--Theo Lacy, former chief clerk of the state convict department. now prisoner In the penitentiary for steal- ing approximately $1oo,000 entrusted to his care. failed to appear or have rep reseEtation at the meeting of the board of pardons Tuesday and no mention was made of his application for pa role. Lacy so far has failed to have files of the case prepared.
 Many visitors were at the state building when the board met; all were expecting something in the famous Lacy case. It was known that Lacy had not sent in the proper notifica- tion, but it was believed either he or his attorney would appear with them Tuesday. Nothing now can be done in the case until the December meeting of the board.
 An unusually large number of cases were up for consideration Tuesday. It was explained that the number was increased because prisoners usually be- lieve that an outgoing governor will show more mercy than before.

Cancellation Wires Delayed

Montgomery. November 12.-(Special) Due to the demoralized condition of tele- graph companies in the United States Monday, important telegrams, announc- I ing the cancellation of draft calls for 1 November were not delivered to the state Nmilitary department in Montgomery, in
 time to prevent entrainment of several , registrants. Notice came to the state department Tuesday that many selectmen 1 of the call for 150 men entrained during the gigantic demonstrations being held throughout the country.
 The men who entrained, however, were either stopped along the route or will be immediately sent back to the point
 of entrainment There they will be mus tered out of the service, and their names
 placed back in the class they held before leaving. The draft machinery is not to be done away with at this time, accord
 ing to information from Washington.

The guns everywhere are mute.
 HOstilities have given way to preparations by the defeated enemy to evacuate all invaded territory in accordance with the terms of the armistice and by the entente forces to take up the strategic positions assigned to them In order that the foe may be unable to resume fight ing.
 Although the British, Belgian, French and American armies have stacked arms, they, nevertheless, are on the alert for any eventuaIity. And thus is purposed that they shall remain until the peace which will make the world safe for democracy has arrived.
 As the German armies in the west wend their way backward across the Rhine defeated, comes thee ry from Germany for an early peace. Starvation faces the war torn empire. Germany, which once boasted that it would throw Il cir cie of iron about the British Isles and starve the people into submis- sion today Is begging, not alone for peace, but for bread. Mag naniniity lies in the outstretched hands of the allies. The German people are not to be permitted to perish for want of food. Sustenance in abundance Is to be given them, but in doing so undue privations are not to be visited upon the peo- ples of the devastated countries over which the Germans have swept.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, November F. - The Liverpool market was closed this morning in further celebration of the ending of the war. Here. the market opened higher, but immediately encount- cred selling orders from the south. This selling continued steadily until the mini mum prices at which. trading was per mitted were reached The lack of de- n1and was due to two causes: Anxiety as to the international situation of Aus tria and Germany, where no strong cen- tral government exists and the holiday abroad. Last week the market sold a cent and a half below these prices and sufficient demand then appeared from Europe to check the decline We ex- pect a similar demand on this break.

starvation and ruin in Germany
 Officials are satisfied that pr. Solt is needlessly alarmed. They point out that the terms of the armistice provide that 'the allies and the United States should give consideration to the pro- visioning of Germany during the armi- sstice to the extent recognized as neces- sary," and it is said that to that end such rolling stock and ships as may be necessary will be put into use.
 Dr. Solf's request for the hastening of preliminary peace" may mean that the German government wishes to leave to later time and possibly to a second peace conference the permanent settle ment of the great issues involved in President Wilson's fl terms and the principles he has enunciated since they were laid down. Such a suggestion, II is said, would be without precedent.
 It was pointed out today that there are physical difficulties in hastily con vening a peace conference which will in clude representatives of all the nations which have formally declared war on Germany.
 A conference limited to envoys of the allied governments and the United States might be held at & reasonably early date perhaps within a month, if it is limited in scope to a few urgent issues.
 CAUTION NECESSARY
 One consideration in the minds of American officials relates to the status of the German government itself The President already has referred to this as fluid and the course of the Russian revo- Iutionists has emphasized, it was said, the need of caution in securing assurance of the stability of any government with which permanent peace treaties are ne- gotiated.
 The American and allied governments actually have recognized the social democratic government at Berlin, headed by Frederick Ebert, as the de facto gov ernment of Germany, by conceding US authority to authorize the arnistice dele- gates to sign that document But de- velopments in Germany have caused ap- prehension that Russian history may pc repeated there and the present govern ment replaced by soldiers and work mems council or committee, which could not be recognized by the allies or the United States because it would be esss1i italy a class government.
