that you accept It. 1t shall appear In
the utter sacrifice and self-forgetfulnes
with which we shall give all that we

In bis address a; Mount Vernon on
July =. 1915. the President Quilted the
Following as the first of the ends for
which the associated peoples OF the
world were fighting:
Il. The destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately. Sc
cretly and OF its single choice disturb
the peace of the world or II II cannot
be presently destroyed at least its reduce
tion to virtual impotence"
In the latter part of this same address
the President was even more prophetic :

of the spread OF this revolt, this liberia
ton, to the great stage OF the world
itself
"The blinded rulers of Prussia have
reused forces they knew little of. forces
which once reused can never be crushed
to earth again. for they have at their
heart an Inspiration and purpose
which are deathless and Of the very
stun OF triumph"

reported to have even reached the Ger
man lines. Unofficial reports stated that
heavy German barrage fire delayed his
return.
The distance between the meeting
place and German headquarters Is not
great, but a circuitous route Is required,
due to the shell torn roads. 1t Is at
best a journey OF several hours The
news late this afternoon seemed to pre-
clude the possibility of the return or
the courier during the night. Arrange
ments might be made to send the neces-
sary authority to the German delegates
at Marshal Foch's headquarters by
wireless, but this was not considered
likely.
There is considerable expectation here
In official circles, however. that the
great news may be released to the wait
ing world some time tomorrow.
Frank L. Polk, Counsellor OF the State
Department, announced to the newspa-
per men at . 30 this afternoon that at
2 :15 the armistice had not been signed.
1t is assumed here that at that hour the
German plenipotentiaries were still at
Marshal Foch's headquarters waiting to
hear from Spa. the place to which the
terms had been sent.
According to cable advlces from
abroad Nice-Admiral Sims, commanding
the American naval forces In European

IN ms flag Day speech on June o.
lslI. little more than two months
atter the nation had been at war. the
PRESIDENT went further than this. how
ever, and virtually prophecied the pres-
ent ending OF the war
The military masters under whom
uermany is bleeding" he said, 'see
very clearly to what point fate has
brought them. If they fall back. or are

From this beginning the President in
subsequent addresses almost without ex.
ception singled out Kaiserism and what
II stood for as the real foe. all with
the definite purpose In his mind of sep.
arating the German people from theiI
masters and encouraging the German
liberals. Referring to the naughty and
aggressive action of the Imperial Ger.

collapse, the President on April 6, 1918
