It is l known that the proposition is vowed from many angles by different gov ernments and public men and unless it's proponents are willing to accept some very general declarations of principles upon the subject instead of insisting upon the adoption of the specific detailed working plan, it is almost certain that the conference will be engaged for q long time in
 it's consideration.
 In his address, to congress today in connection with the armistice PresI dent Wilson himself indicated anoth- CT very serious problem that must engage the attention of the peace conference.-the question Of the stab- ility and competency of the govern. ment with which covenants of peace are to be made.

 History, and Peace!!! After more than four years of struggling the rights of thanking are served. The greatest day in the history of nations has dawned.- The German militaristic classes-arrogant beyond expression are in defeat.
 The Kaiser and Grown Prince are in flight-refugees in an alien coun- try. Germanic Kings and potentates no longer hold their sway.
 Imperialistic Germany has met the fate that ultimately must come to any country that seeks to rule the world.
 Deserted by all her allies, Ger manuy, on her knees, is accepting terms of equalization winch amount virtually to abject surrender. Except for actual hosaile of the monarchy | of winch was to dominate over all it is | in complete defeat
 Beaten on the field of battle, the diect of the allied chief command I is that the German armies shall re- | tire nto their own homeland from all invaded territory. lmpotent as the ! German armes shall be, also as impor- eantt shall be the Germany fleet.
