Washington, Nov. with the close

contribution to worlds freedom.
Hers was the moral and mortal
help that turned the tide of the blood

And now. the greatest problem before
the world, officials say, is to thresh
out in conference a peace that will in

Governor Tells All State Offices
To Celebrate Peace.
Every Town Urged To Join in
the Celebration.

Based on the reports that the war
is ended. Governor Capper at 2:10
O clock this afternoon declared a state
wide holiday. He sent word to all
state departments for an Immediately
closing of the state house. Flags were
displayed from windows of state de-
partments and employees Joined in the
celebration.
II think this ought to be a state
wide holiday and every town should
join in the celebration said Governor
Capper. II hope the state at large
will Immediately enter into the spirit
of the occasion"
The governor then asked news
agencies to notify the press of the
state of his request. Celebrations are
to be declared in every town in Kan
sas under the governors decree. The
real joy fest may not start in many
communities until tonight. 1t will in
all probability continue turnout Fri
day. Every town and every commun-
ity is urged by the governor to aid in
the demonstration surrounding the
ending of the war.

MARKETS UNCERTAIN
Big Breaks Come as Peace Talk Is
Heard Over Country.

Chicago. Nov. big breaks in
prices on change resulted today from
unconfirmed reports that the armi-
stice with Germany had been signed.
Corn plunged down about 6 cents a
bushel. During the excitement many
bags of grain were hurled into the
trading pits by enthusiasts among the
brokers.
In the last few minutes of trading
a complete revulsion of sentiment de-
veloped and the market rebounded
further even than it had dropped. The
finish was unsettled. with December
corn at exactly the same as twenty
foHr hours before, to " higher at
121 " to 1872.
New York. Nov. THE market
stood still for ten minutes after the
announcement. Then bedlam broke
loose in the financial district. Wall
street looked like the scene of mardi
gras carnival. Peace stocks were fe-
verishly bid for.
Many dumped their war shares.

points to new low of so u steel COM

measures by commission to be
named by the president.
Republicans would put all recon
struction questions up to congress
thru a joint congressional reconstruc-
ton commission. Meantime, Presi-
dent Wilson is preparing reconstruc-
ton legislation of his own.
The Tariff, Too.
Tariff revisions probably will be
among the first reconstruction meas
ures undertaken by the new congress.
Republicans demand tariff protection
for new American Industries growing
out of the war but which VIII continue
in peace times, including dye-making
and nitrate plants.
Return of the railroads. telegraphs
and telephones to private ownership
as soon after the war as practicable.
will mean another battle.
Repeal Unusual BiIis.e
Absolute repeal of all unusual and
extraordinary war measures comforting
new powers upon the executive depart
ment will be insisted on. Included in
this will be the elimination of food
and fuel control. The question of ship
subsidies will come up in discussion
of the future of the great new mer-
chant marine. This question seems
likely to become one of the knottiest
the new congress will deal with.
Together Once.
Republicans generally are in favor
of a budget system, to systematic and
make economical expenditure of gov
eminent money and such system
probably will be proposed. President
Wilson has favored such a system
also.
Universal military training seems
likely to be made permanent Ameri-
can policy, as Republicans strongly
favor it.
Tax law revision, certain to come
after the war, will bring another
struggle between Democratic and Re-
publican ideas.
No Party Division.
On some reconstruction measures
the division will not be on party lines.
AS control of both house and senate
is close, Democrats may be able to
swing enough votes to carry some of
their measures thru.

Office Forces Rush to Streets
and Start Parade.
Peace Announcement Democrat
ICES Down Town Business.
GUNS USED IN CELEBRATION
Hatless and Coatless Men in
Demonstrations.
Girls Raced Down Kansas Ave.,
Cheering as They Went.

Kansas avenue was turned topsy
turvy right after 1 o'clock today when
the city witnessed its first peace
demonstration. Business was utterly
demoralized. Clerks and employees
forgot their several duties in the cele-
bration of the Huns defeat and sur
render news that was given out by the
United Press. And employers stood
by with thrills chasing up and down
their spines while their employees went
out into the street to take part in an
impromptu parade.
Reporting to work for the afternoon
today, the clerks in the Santa Fe Of
fices held short conferences between
the desks. They decided that parade
was absolutely necessary to express
their feelings Flags were hastily
gathered and bearers were assigned.
The rifles of the state guards were
promptly Communicated and color
guards were appointed.
Then out in the rain and the mist
poured the force from the offices.
Without hats, without coats, and with
out umbrellas the girls from the offices
proceeded to line up. They moved into
Kansas avenue. The cheering started.
and grew until the whole uptown dis
trict was just one continuous rumble
of voices raised in rejoicing
Five minutes of the parade moved
the city to its very depths. Guns were
removed from their cases in the attics
and closets and corners of the houses
and for the first time since the sane
Fourth of July came into being in the
city, the town rocked with the explo-
sions of firearms. Nor was the firing
confined to the residence sections
From everywhere and from nowhere
the guns came into being on Kansas
avenue-and without interference on
the part of the police and the popu-
lace had its way in celebrating.
To the sweetheart and the wife It
means that HE" is safe from in
jury. The long vista of years replete
with happiness lies before, and no
longer is the heart and soul oppressed
with the awful menace of eternal
separation.
Many eyes were dim today and
tears of gladness. To the Merciful
blessing of the ages the mothers and
wives and sweethearts and sisters to-
day moved their lips in thankful
prayer. On Bonded knees the women
folk, and many of the men, have be-
taken themselves to their places OF
worship. and there before. the altar
consecrated to Him, they h4Ee poured
forth the JOY that is in their hearts
and souls.
The moment the news reached the
Santa Fe shops the workers threw
down their tools and walked out to
join in the general celebration. TeIe-
phone service was badly hampered
when a number of the girl operators
could not resist the temptation to Join
the thronSs on Kansas avenue.
