Germany and the allies signed
the armistice at eleven a. m.
and three hours later all fighting
along the front was to have stop
ped by the terms of the agree
ment. The terms of Field Mar
shall Foch have been accepted in
full as reported. These terms are
such that Germany will be prac-
ticaIIy CRIPPLED from a military
standpoint and will be unable to
resume hostiIities again.
As the terms of the armistice
were signed the allied troops were
smashing forward from the
ScheIdt river to the Meuse.
American troops took the city of
Sedan the middle of the fore
noon. Their success was almost
phenomenal in the face of the
great resistance they have met
previously. Gains at all points
along the line are thought to have
caused the kaiser and his war
lords to order the representatives
to take any terms offered.
Germany herself is in the
throes of a revolution. kieI canal
is gripped by the mutineers and
several large cities in the province
of Schleswin-H oIstein have been
seized while the entire province
seems to have been affected.
When hostiIities ceased the bat
tie line along the western front
was apparently as follows: From
SeIzaete on the Dutch border south
to Client and Ordenwarde and
southwest along the ScheIdt river
to Journal and southeast through
Condo to Maubeuge; from here
south to Hirson, southeast to
Sedan and southeast on the Ger
man border to BadonviIIers, then
south through Germany to the
junction of the boundary lines on
the French, German and Swiss
border.
