The War is Over.
The war is over.
While no treaty of peace has
been acknowledgement per-
haps will not be for a year-the
signing Of the armistice terms
leaves Germany at the military
mercy of the Allied powers,
wholly unable to renew her at
tack.
With her fleet surrendered;
her Rhine fortresses occupied by
Allied garrisons; her munitions
in the safe keeping Of Marshal
Foch, the Berlin Government de-
serted by her allies, and in the
throes of revolt at home, must
accept peace as a virtue OF me-
cessity, if for no higher reason.
The proud autocracy that
plunged the world into war has
been beaten to the dust. Her
armies, which but a few short
months ago were sweeping on
towards Paris and the Channel
ports, have been turned back by
the heroic soldiers of Britain,
France, Italy and America, and
must now retrace in humiliation
and defeat the ground which
they trod when they started out
to conquer the world.
More than this, German diplo-
macy, which sought to accom-
plish by intrigue and debauchery
what the imperial armies could
not achieve by force, has been
exposed, and stands convicted
before all men. Germany today
is not only a military weakling.
1t is a moral bankrupt; and it's
army and navy can be restored
long before it will have outlived
the neral shame that a long rec
ord of perfidy and dishonor has
, fastened upon a nation.

He was so good-natured that we

Beside him was a big Newfoundland

Cobb would laugh until the building

DROWNING BABY WAS POODLE

Brave Man Was Induced to Leap
to Its Rescue.

II all began when SNOWFALL, q
fluffy poodle dog, pursued a chicken
one morning in the back yard at the
home Of Charles Leftover of 534
South Eleventh street, Kansas side,
says a Kansas City correspondent.
SNOWFALL became so interested in his
quarry he failed to notice an open
cistern top until after he had fallen
in.
For 80 minutes Snowbalps owner,
Mrs. Myrtle Lewis, who lives at that
address, fshed frantically, if yainly,
to get her pet out. Then she called
the FIRE department. Meanwhile
Snowfall had sunk twice. She ran
breathlessly to the front sidewalk
and pleaded with a man passing
along the street TO rescue SNOWFALL.
The man was a foreigner. While
he could not understand her words
he partly translated her gesticula-
tions. He rushed to the cistern and
jumped in. About the time the fire
men arrived he was suffering
things in Polish that sounded like
profanity. He supposed it was q
baby.
