THE PRESIDENTS COMMENTS
1.-THE war thus comes to an end;'
said President Wilson, for, having
accepted these terms Of armistice, 1t
will be impossible for the German
command to renew it.
TT is now possible to assess the
consequences Of this great consum-
nation. We know only that this
tragical war, whose consuming
flames swept from one nation to an
other until all the world was on fire.
is at an end and that it was the
privilege of our own people to enter
it at it's most critical juncture in
such fashion and i'll such force as to
contribute in way of which we are
all deeply proud, to the great result
We know. too, that the object Of the
war is attained: the object on which
all free men had set their hearts,
and attained with a sweeping com
pleteness which even now we do
not realize.
Imperialism at an End
Armed Imperialism, such as the
men conceived who were but yester-
day the masters Of Germany. is al
an end, its illicit ambitions en-
quilted in black disaster. Who will
now seek to revive it? the arbitrary
power of the military caste of Ger
many which once could secretly and
OF it's own single choice disturb the
peace Of the world is discredited and
destroyed. And more than that
much more than that-has been &C.
complished. The great nations
which associated themselves to de-
stroy it have now definitely united
in the common purpose to set uu
such peace as will satisfy the
longing of the whole world for dis
Interested justice, embodied in set
Elements which are based upon
something much better and much
more lasting than the selfish COM
petitiye interests of powerful states.
To Help the Weak
There is no longer conjecture ais
to the objects the victors have in
mind. They have mind in the
.1atter, not only. but heart aIso.
Their ayowed and concerted pur-
pose is to satisfy and protect the
weak as well as to accord their
rights to the strong.
VIII Feed the Hungry.
THE humane temper and intention
of the victorious governments has
already been manifested in a very
practical way. Their representatives
In the supreme war council at Yer
SALES have by unanimous resolution
assured the people of the central en-
pires that everything that is possible
In the circumstances will be done to
supply them with food and relieve the
distressing want that is in so many
places threatening their very lives
and steps are to be taken immediately
to organize these efforts at relief in
the same manner that they were or
ganized in the case Of Belgium.
All Tonnage TO Be Used.
I BY the use of the idle tonnage of
the central empires it ought presently
to be possible to lift the fear of ut
ter misery from their oppressed popu-
lations and set their minds and en-
ergies free for the great and hazard
GUS tasks of political reconstruction
which now faces them on every hand.
Hunger does not breed REFORM; it
breeds madness and all ugly disternp-
ers that make an ordered life inn
possible.
Fluid Change of Governments.
For with the fall OF the ancient
governments which rested like an In
