Washington. Nov. 1.-THE terms of
the armistice with Germany were read
to congress by President Wilson at l
clock this afternoon. Assembled in
the hall of the house where, nineteen
months ago, senators and representa-
tives heard the president ask for the
declaration of war they today heard
him speak the words which herald the
coming of peace.
The president spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the congress: In
these anxious times of rapid and stu
pendous change it will in some degree
tighten my sense of responsibility to
perform in person the duty of COM
municating to you some of the larger
circumstances of the situation with
which it is necessary to deal.
THE German authorities who have,
at the invitation of the supreme war
council, been in communication with
Marshal Foch, have accepted and
signed the terms of armistice which
he was authorized and instructed to
communicate to them. Those terms
are as follows:
One-Cessation of operations by
land and in the air; six hours after
the signature of the armistice.
Two-Immediate evacuation of in
vaded countries: Belgium, France,
Alsace-Lorraine, Luxembourg, so or
dered as to be completed within four
teen days from the signature of the
armistice.
German troops which have not left
the above mentioned territories within
the period fixed will become prisoners
of war. Occupation by the allied and
United States forces jointly will keer
pace with the evacuation in these
areas. All movements of evacuation

Washington, Nov. 11-Signing of

not mean that the great American

completed even the movement of
troops to France will be continued al
tho on a vastly reduced scale.
During the interval between the ces-
sation of hostilities and the conclusion
Of the peace conference, it is assumed
that the major portion of General
Pershing's expeditionary forces in
France must be retained there. 1t is
possible also that for reasons of in
ternationa1 politics some American
garrison may be kept in disputed ter
ritory even after the actual peace ne
gotfations have been brought to a
close. Troops which have seen the
longest service in France probably will
be returned home soon to be replaced
by new men now in this country, who
will perform guard or other duty over
seas. There are more than one mil
lion men now in camps in the United
States.
All draft calls were Cancelled today
1t is known that General Crowder's
advisers have favored cancelling all
outstanding calls as soon as the armis-

to begin this morning under the No

100000 men.

Washington time, after 1867

has been convulsed.
Announcement of the tremen-
dous event was made at the state
department at the capital at 2:35

seconds was flashed thruout the
continent by The Associated

Washington, Nov. 11.-Ger-
many has signed an armistice
that branded her before the
world a beaten nation.
By it's terms, she surrendered
in the field to a better force
than the mighty military ma
chine her autocrats had builded.
By it she agreed to evacua-
ton of occupied territory. She
swore away her hold on a gen.
erous portion of her battleship
and submarine fleets. She &C
ceded to demands for surrender
of a portion of her war ma
terial. In other words, she ad-
mitted that America and its
allies were victorious and
agreed to strong stipulations
which made the nation unable
to renew the strife, even if its
shattered people were so in
clined.

Organized hilarity did much to keep
the skirts of Topeka free from count
less accidents in the big peace cele-
brations today. The premature DEM
onstration last Thursday afternoon
and night had borne full fruit and
the city was surfeited with the dan

city was full, and running over with
joy, but the bubbling enthusiasm OF
the citizens was kept safely within the
edges of q sane and safe celebration.
Hardly had the first peace extras
appeared on the streets today when
the machinery was set in motion to
eliminate the dangerous features
which characterized the riot Thurs
day afternoon and night. Promptly
and surely the men who do things in
