THE WAR IS
OVER AT LAST
LAST THURSDAYS CELEBRATION
PROVED TO BE TUNING Up
TIME FOR GREAT EVENT.

The greatest war i1i history ended
Monday morning at 1 O'Clock. wash
ington time, after 1867 days Of hor-
ror during which virtually the whole
civilized world has been Convulsed
Announcement Of the tremendous
event was made at the state depart
ment al the capital n 2:45 O'Clock
and i'm o few seconds was flashed
throughout the continent by the AS
socated Press.
Details O. the terms dictated by
Marshal Foch on Friday afternoon
TO the German arms tice delegates
have been given out. and are of such
. nature as to protect The world from
q resumption of the struggle by the
Germans They call for the de-
mobilization of Germany's army, the
surrender of part OF her fleet and
the dism8ntling Of the rest and the
evacuation of occupied portions OF
France and Belgium and of Alsace-
Lorraine. Germany has agreed to
call home all her troops now in Rus
STA and Rumania.
The terse announcement of the
state department did not tell any
thing of the scene at Marshal Foch S
headquarters at the time the arm
istice was signed. It was stated, how
ever, that at O'Clock. Paris time
the signatures of Cermany's dele
gates were affixed to the document
which blasted forever the dreams
which embroiled the world in q
struggle which has cost, at the very
lowest estimate, 10 100000 lives.
While the curtain was rolling down
on the most stupen6ous tragedy in
mankind's history, events were NOV
ing with terrible swttness in Ger
many, the nation about which re-
volved the plot and counter plot OF
the drama. Berlin, LEIPZIG Stutt-
CART, Cologne, HAMBURG and Frank
fort are in the hands OF the revoiu-
tionists. who last week raised the
red flag at Kiel. Cermany's navy
apparently is scattered into dis
jointed units, each seeking sanctu-
airy in Danish ports or waiting in Ger
man harbors for the latest turn of
events.

FIRE BOYS REJOICE.

The Audubon Volunteer Fire De-
partment had a special session at the
fire hall last Thursday evening. IL
was the occasion of the unfurling OF
their service flag, which had been
made for them by Mrs. Robt. Curtis.
The flag has fifteen stars which
represents the number of men be-
longing to the department who have
answered the call.
After social hour. luncheon was
served. which proved to be de-
light. Then general good time
was had playing games and talking
over the good news that had come
that the war was over.
The Mayor and some of the Coun-
cilmen who were present talked with
the boys about the advisability or
fixing up the rear rooms back OF the
council chamber over the Audubon
Music store. These rooms could be
thrown into one large room and
made into a splendid place for the
firemen and the band. Ii is quite
likely that something will be done.
as the cid fire hall is not habtable
in the winter time. All hope that
something will be done for their
comfort and at the same time give
| them n respectable place.

awaiting the arrival OF the window
frames and other material The
contractor left today for his home
in Omaha. Since the laying OF the
corner stone a week ago last Sunday,
work on the building has been
pushed with a vengeance and it is
thought that the building will be
enclosed before snow flies. The con-
tractor expects to have the church
completed for occupancy the fore
part OF next January. Weather con-
ditions and the promptness with
which material is shipped. will of
course make considerable difference.
