ACROSS THE WATERS
BY Odette GastineI, a Thirteen-Year.
Old French Girl.


Old French Girl.
It was little river-almost brook.
It was called the User. One could talk
from one side to the other without rails
ing ones voice. The birds could fly
over it with one sweep Of their wings.
And on it's bank there were millions of
men, the one turned toward the other,
eye to eye. But the difference which
separated them was greater than that
between the stars in the sky. It was
the difference which separates justice
from injustice. The ocean is so great
that the sea-gulls do not dare to cross
it. During seven days and seven
nights the great steamships of Amer
lea, going at full speed, must drive
through the deep waters before the
lighthouses Of France come into view.
But from one side to another hearts
are touching.

Washington time, IL o'clock Paris
time. The armlstlce was signed by
the German representatives at mid
night. This announcement was made
by the state department at 2:6O
O'clock this morning.
The announcement was made verb
ally by an. official of the state de-
partment in this form:
1.-THE armiStice has been signed. 1t
was signed at 5 o'clock, Paris time,
and hostiltties will cease at IL o'clock
this morning, Paris time"
The terms of the armistice, 1t was
announced, will not be made public
Military men here, however, regard
it as certain that they include:
Immediate retirement of the Ger
man military forces from France, Bel
gium and Alsace--Lorraine.
Disarming and rehabilitation of
the German army, occupation by the
allied and American forces OF such
strategic points in Germany as will
make Impossible a renewal of hostili-
Delivery of the German high seas
fleet and a certain number of submar-

forces.
Disarmament of all other German
warships under supervision of the all

cipal German naval bases by sea fore
es Of the victorious nations.
Release of allied and American SOL
diers, sailors and civilians held pris-
oners in Germany without such yecip-
rocal action. by the associated govern
ments.
There was no information as to the
circumstances under which the arnlis-
tice was signed, but since the Ger
man courier did not reach German
military headquarters until 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. French time, It
was generally assumed here that the
German ENJOYS within the French
lines had been instructed by wireless
to sign the terms.
Forty-seven hours had been re-
CURED for the courier to reach Ger
man headquarters, and unquestion-
ably several hours were necessary for
the examination of the terms and a,
decision. 1t was regarded as possible,
however, that the decision had been
made at Berlin and Instructions
transmitted from there by the new
German government.
Germany had been given until il
O'clock this morning, French time, o,
o'clock Washington time, to accept.

An army of considerable size will be
needed for this work for months
after the war has ended.
England Prepared to Demobilize.
The British government began it's
preparations for utilization near
ly q. year ago. Its plans have been
so thoroughly worked out that when
a dress rehearsal was held recently

was sent through the machinery to its
final operations where each man
found himself in his native town.

Complete plans for breaking up the
French forces also have been pre-
pared, but it is considered probable
that the rehabilitation process in
the case of these armies will be much
slower than for the American or even
the British because of the necessity
for guarding Alsace Lorraine and also
in view Of the gigantic task of recon-
struction in the invaded districts.
