occasionally several hours were necessary for the examination of the terms and decision. It was regarded as possible, however, that the de- cision may have been made at Berlin, and in structions transmitted from there by the new German government.
 Germany had been given until 1 1 o'clock this morning, French time, six o'clock Washington time, to accept. So hostilites will end at the hour set by Marshal Foch for a decision by Germany, for peace or for continuation of the war
 The momentous news that the armistice had been signed was telephoned to the White House for transmission to the president few minutes before it was given to the newspaper correspond ents. Later it was said that there would be no statement from the White House at this time.

BULLETIN. (By the Associated Press)- WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The world war will end this morning at six o'clock Washington time 1 o'clock Paris time. The armistice was signed by the German representatives at midnight. This announcement was made by the state depart ment at 2:50 o'clock this morning.

 "The armistice has been signed. It was signed at five clock a. m Paris time and hostil- ities will cease at o'clock this morning, Paris time."
 The terms of the armistice it was announced, will not be made public until later. Military men here, however, regard it as certain that they in- clude:

All Phoenix knew when the world war had come to an end, two minutes after the flash entered the office of The Republican over the wire of the Associated Press from Washington.
 By arrangement with The Repub- lican, City Manager Thompson had or dered the night engineer at the water works to open up the big fire whistle and inform the town when word was received from The Republican office that the armistice had been signed and the war was really at an end.
 At just 12:45 o'clock this morning, lacking but three and one-q quarter hours of the time limit set by Marshal Foch for the signing of the armistice, the flash reached The Republican of- flee. It had been just three minutes after the word had been placed on the wire at Washington.

I ' l r W IF GREAT
 SSTR()GGLE [
(By the Associated Press)

The German people, for a generation the obeGient and submissive servants of their war lord, for more than four years his pliant instruments in rsvas- ing the world, have spoken new word, and the old Germany is gone. From the confused. sometimes conflicting and often delayed. advices from Ger many in the last two days, it has now become apparent that William. em- peror and king, has been stripped of his power. He is now plain William Hohenzollern, a fugitive in Holland. With his fall topples into ruin Will liam's mad design to rule the world.
 Little is known of the situation to- day in Germany, for that country is in the first days of it's new adventure. It is not clear whether the old regime has been permanently dislodged or whether the new authorities, with the unscrupulous adroitness which has long marked German politics, are merely sacrificing the chief figure heads of kaiserism, in the hope of ob- taiIing an easier peace. It appears probable that no one in Germany knows, and that it is still to be de- termined which of the contending ele- ments will gain the upper hand.
 Revolution is spreading rapidly and from the fact that a socialist is now chancellor it may be gathered that the object of the revolution is not merely the quick ending of the war. but the complete severance of the political ties which still bind the nation with it's past.
 Reconstruction New Problem
 For the allies the problem has changed. The countries which fought ' frt.r,. .l l.. than four years, have emerged from. it completely triumphant, but within the borders of the countries which menaced the peace of the whole world. stalks revolt, famine and anarchy- The worlds next task may be to re- store order in the desolated central empires. It may be the loss of life of the forces who have successfully con- tested Germany's greed for power, to save her from the fate she imposed upon Russia Likewise help will have to be given to Austria Hungary, Bull garia and Turkey, whose ruin Ger many wrought.
 The German empire was the last of the great autocracies whose fall marks the real significance of the war In Russia, Austria Hungary and finally in Germany, irresponsible power gave way before the irresistible forces of democracy. Germany holding on to the last, kept up the hopeless strug- gle until Field Marshal von Hinden- burg's prophetic words. early in the | war, came true.

Let Him Live

"As long as flowers their perfume
give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian
tears,
With nothing to quench his awful
/ thirst
But the sailed brine of a Scotchman's
curse.
81 would let him live on dinner each
day,
Served from silver on golden tray
Served with things both dainty and
Served with everything but things to
"And I'd make him a bed of silken
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers Of down and fillets of lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to its comfort he would
yield,
1t should stink with rot of the battle
And blood and bones and brains of
men
Should cover him, smother him-and
then
His pillows should cling with the rot
ten cloy-
Cloy from the grave of soldier boy.
And while Gods stars their vigils
keep,
And while the waves the sands sweep,
He should never, never sleep,
"And through all the days, through all
the years,
There should be an anthem in his ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set of
sun,
Moaning and moaning and moaning
A ravaged French girls fatherless
"And I would build him castle by
the sea,
AS lovely a castle as ever could be;
Then I'd show him a ship from over
the sea,
As fine a ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does she touch the silver
sands,
Scarce may he reach his eager hands.
Than a hot and hellish molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell,
And though he'd watch on the wave
swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no morei
"In 'On Mans Land where the Irish
fell,
I'd start the Kaiser a private hell;
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas;
In every wound I'd pour ground glass;
I'd march him out where the brave
boys died
Out past the lads they crucifed.
''In the fearful gloom of his living
tomb,
I'd make him sing, in stirring man
