GREAT WAR ENDS
Signing Of Armistlce by Germany
Brings War to Close


The greatest war in history was
brought to an end last Monday
morning at 6 o'clock by Washing
ton time.
The armistice. was signed by the
German representatives at mid
night Sunday, and the announce
ment was made BY the state de-
partment at Washington at $3.50
O'Clock Monday norning.
By the command of Marshal
Foch hostilities ceased at IL o'clock
a, N. France time. The allied
troops will not, until further
orders, go beyond the line reached
November ii at IL o'clock.
The fighting has ended. Peace
has succeeded war. And a joyous
nation has celebrated the change.
The first news of peace reached
Huntingdon early Monday morn
ing and as our citizens went to their
places of business they were asked
Have you heard the good newsY"
rs it oficialY" was the next ques-
ton. But they finally believed
and rejoiced.
Allied troops continued to re-
pulse the enemy, capture cities,
clear the French soil of Germans,
making rapid progress in their big
drive, and stopped only when the
word came from Marshal Foch to
cease hostilities.
President Wilson issued a for
NAL proclamation at 10 o'clock
Monday morning announcing that
the armistice with Germany had
been signed. The proclamation
follows:
my fellow eountrymen:
THE armistice was signed this
morning. Everything for which
America fought has been accom-
plished. 1t will now be our for
tunate duty to assist by example,
by sober, friendly council and by
material aid IN the establishment
of just democracy throughout the
world. WOODROW WILSON"

THE KAISER FLED
Accompanied BY Staff Leave ID
Automobiles

The former German emperor,
accompanied by his staff, close rel
atives, and perhaps Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, fed from Ger
many in automobiles, arriving at
Eysdep, on the Dutch frontier, at
1870 O'clock Sunday morning.
Practically the whole German
general staff accompanied the en-
peror, and ten automobiles carried
the party. The cars were brist-
ling with rifles and all the fugi-
tives were armed.
Wilhelm, it is reported, was on
his way to the British lines to sur
render, when he was headed off by
German revOlutiOnists and forced
to seek safety in Holland.
The Dutch government is very
much disturbed, and has really
been placed in a most embarras-
sing situation, BY the arrival of
her unexpected guests. She would
much have preferred that the party
had sought shelter in some other
neutral country.

WAR SAYINGS PLEDGES
Much Work to Be Done II State
Reaches Quota

Tennessee has outstanding now
no less than SIS, 900. 900 in pledges
of the people to purchase War
Savings stamps before the end OF
the year 1918, Time has slipped
BY until we have less than two
months in which to realize on those
pledges. 1t is now necessary that
extraordinary steps be taken to
collect or to see that pledgors
promptly redeem their cards.
The announced drive to culmi-
nate with December IL, next, is
for the purpose of meeting this
situation. Every county chair
man must prepare at once to press
home to their own county people
their obligation and to get in the
money for every War Savings
stamp pledged.
Carroll county is behind several
dollars, and if we come
over the top, as we should, much
work must yet be done. Have
Tou redeemed your pledge9

ROUsES CONGRESS
Great Demonstration Accorded
Presidents Message

Mr. R. NJ. Gates, the Commercial
Appeals Washington correspondent,
sends his paper the following;
"And thus the war ends.p
This was the dramatic sentence in
President Wilson's message to the
Congress today, which reused sena-
tors and representatives to pitch Of
fervor never before paralleled in the
history of the country. Everybody
rose, everybody shouted, everybody
yelled, everybody rejoiced at the sig
nifcantly fraught meaning that the
war is over. The whole Congress Of
the United States rose to its feet as
if lifted by common hope and a
common sorrow and a common aspi-
ration to a climax typifed in Wood
row Wilson.
Events have more than indicated
his course and his policy. Woodrow
Wilson, the man, has measured up to
the outlines Of the real man, He pre-
dicted and his predictions have been
indicated by events. 1t was proud
day in the history of Tennessee and
Mississippi when Congressman Gar
rett and Harrison of Tennessee and
Mississippi respectively were appoint
ed to escort President Wilson to the
speakers stand in the House of Rep
resentatives. Speaking later of the
presidents address Mr.. Harrison said:
1T is second declaration Of in
dependence, a declaration Of indepen-
dence to the world, Magma Charter
for oppressed peoples in every cline.
1t breathes the magnanimous spirit of
the American people and means the
idealism of Woodrow Wilson, the
greatest statesman the world has ever
produced, has been accepted as the
formula Of government and lasting
peace by allied neutral and enemy ma
tions the world over"

ance in the German empire, the
constant demand for peace by the
war-tired civilian subjects of the
kaiser was more than the central
powers could stand. They were

left but to surrender.
