demonstrate to this world that we
not only are united in war but We

proceed with reconstruction abroad
and at home with the same unselfisl
confidence in our national leaders, as
has made possible the marvellous re

ried the direct apepal to the Ger

Of the official text OF this communi-
cation
There are Indications that the ar
mistice terms have aroused a new
spirit of fight in some quarters of
Germany This is indicated by re-
ported orders to the German fleet
from the command of the soldiers
council, to resist the carrying out of
the terms. While any resistance
could be disposed Of by the allied
fleet, President Wilson is now yitally
concerned in checking promptly the
bolsheviki movement
He has promised the German peo-
pie soon will be resored order and
peace which will justly define their
place among the nations" and will
enable them to live in security and
contentment."
1t may be said that the German
situation has changed the whole pro
gram of peace and may serve to
change in some ways, the application
of the armistice terms. What al
locations, if any, may be possible,
however, are as yet not discussed.
