Washington, Nov 12.-The greatest
war in history ended Monday morning
at o'clock Washington time, after
1867 days of horror, during which vir-
tnally the whole civilized world has
been convulsed
Announcement of the tremendous
event was made at the State depart
ment at the capital at 2:45 o'clock a.
M, and in a. few seconds ii was flashed
throughout the continent.
Terms to Protect World.
Details of the terms dictated by
Marshal Foch to the German armis-
tice delegates have not as yet been
given out. but it is believed they are
of such q nature as to protect the
world from a resumption of the strug-
gle by the Germans.
1t is assumed that they call for the
demobilization of Germany's army, the
surrender of part of her fleet and the
dismantling of the rest and the evacu-
alton of occupied portions of France
ard Belgium and of Alsace Lorraine.
1t Is probable also that Germany has
agreed to call home all her troops now
in Russia and Roumania.
Hun Delegates Affix Signatures.
The terse announcement of the State
department did not tell anything of the
scene at Marshal Foch's hea hquarters
at the time the armistice was signed.
1t was stated. however, th at at 12
o'clock, Paris time, the signatures of
Germany's delegates were affixed to
the document which blasted forever
the dreams which embroiled the world
in a struggle which has cost, at the
very lowest estimate, 10,000,000 lives.
Shattering of TWO Empires.
When the war began the Teutonic
alliance was headed by tw of the
proudest houses in history 1.-THE Ho-
hen1ollerns and the Hapsburgs. To
day, William Ii of Germany is fugi-
tive in Holland and Charles I of Aus
tria, while he may be still in his coun-
try, has been stripped of power and
has seen his empire shattered to
pieces. Ferdinand of Bulgaria, anoth-
er of the rulers in the Teutonic com
bination, has fled from his country and

joined In the attempt of Germany to
dominate the world, is dead, slain, il
