GREATEST DAY IN HISTORY.
President Wilson ProcIairns Signing of
 Armistice With Germany.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Sign many was proclaimed today by President Wilson, who also an nounced it's terms at a joint seS sion of congress.
 The terms herald the end of the war because they take from Germany the power to renew it.
 Just before he went to the capitol the president, in a pro clamatiOn addressed to his fel- 1 low countrymen, said: The armistice was signed this morning.
 Every thing for which Amer | ica fought has been accomplish ed:
 Tt will now be our fortunate duty to assist, by example, by sober, friendly counsel and by material aid in the eSta abliShment of just democracy throughout the world"
 Stripped of it's malicious pow CT, the military autocracy, it's masters driven to exile, stands before the worlds court of jus tice, having subscribed to terms of surrender which probably will be recorded in history as the most drastic and complete ever measured out to a defeated foe.
 Reading of the full text of the terms disclOSeS measures the United States and the allied gov ernmentS have taken to guaran- tee that Germany's acceptance shali not be a scrap of paper and to insure the destruction of the military which once could secretly and of it's single choice disturb the peace of the world.
 When President Wilson con cluded his exchange of notes with Prince Maximilian, then chancellor, administration off cials declared that if his course did not bring about what they hoped would be more than an unconditional surrender it might bring about a revolution in Ger many.
 Pointing today to the Hohen- zollern dynasty, dethrored and eXiled, the peoples revolution sweeping Germany, and the terms of the armistice. these of fcials felt their predictions am ply fulfilled.
 Having lifted the yoke of mill tarism from the people of the central empires, the allies now turn to tasks of humanity and mercy to bind up their wounds and feed the hungry, meanwhile seeking to guide them to a place in the fame of nations from which they can take part in assuring that another such days of bloodshed and horror need never come again.
 Evacuation, reparation and re- Stitution are the keynotes of the armiStlce.
 Here are the principal things Germany must do, CT, powerless before the victorious allied ar mics, will have done for her.

Nurse from War Zone
Tells Just What Is

Mrs, U. McLaws Kiefer, q North Da-
kota nurse who has just returned from
France with her husband, who was
one of the physicians doing active
work in the base hospital furnished
by Mrs. Howard Payne Whitney OF
New York city, told a Fargo audience
Tuesday just what is needed most in
the Red Cross hospitals in war torn
Europe.
A resume Of her talk follows:
Don't get tired making surgical
dressings" said Mrs. Kiefer. "YOu
can make surgical dressings from now
until we are in Eerlin and there won't
be too many.
Il know that you must sometimes
get discouraged, continually making
surgical dressings without seeing any
returns a. without realizing the ex-
tent G. the good they are doing. If
you could see the appreciation of the
nurses and doctors when they have u
good supply of we'll made dressings
you would feel repaid.
Make large dressings. They are
most needed. for the wounds we have
to care for are huge and cannot be
dressed with a little gauze. When a
surgeon calls for wipes and is given
a package of these finger sponges that
you make, he will almost fire them
across the room. They al be used,
of course, for small eye wounds and
for other small wounds but they are

1T is perfectly awful to have to
stop and substitute some thing for

Other things do not absorb and are
unsatisfactory.
"Of the knitted articles she said
that wrlstlets are greatly needed to
protect the arms as there are many
cases of frozen wrists. Sweaters are
splendid and she said the socks were
greatly appreciated. Socks are more
appreciated if the toes and heels
are MOI too zig. The helmet is most
sensible and is better than the trench
caps. More abdominal bands are need
ed as the men have'to lean against
tie cold, damp walls of the trench for
hours at a time and we have many
cases of internal injury as a result.

men in the hospitals warm when they
