THE WAR AT A GLANCE
Allied Victors, Having Subdued the
Hun, Turn to Reconstruction.

The guns everywhere are mute.
Hostilities have given way to prep
arations by the defeated enemy to
evacuate all invaded territory in &C
cordance with the terms of the
armisticc and by the Entente forces
to take up the strategic positions as
signed to them in order that the foe
may be unable to resume fighting.
Although the British, Belgian
French and American armies are
resting on their arms; they, never
theless, are on the alert for any even
tuality. And thus it is purposed that
they shall remain until the peace
which will make the world safe for
democracy has arrived.
As the German armies in the west
wend their way backward across, the
Rhine, defeated, comes the cry from
Germany for an early peace. Star
walton faces the war-torn empire
Germany, which once boosted that it
would throw a circle of iron about
the British Isles and starve the peo-
pie into submission, today is beg
ging not alone for peace but for
bread.
Magnanimity lies in the out
stretched hands of the Allies. The
German people arc not to be permit
ted to perish for want of food. Sus-
tenance is to be given them, but in
doing so undue privations are not to
be visited upon the peoples OF the
devastated countries over which the
Germans have swept.
In Germany proper the new gov
ornamental regime apparently is hold
ing sway. Internal strife seeming
~ has ended except for mutiny by
the sailors. 1t is asserted that the
northern fleet and Helgoland, the
island bastidn defending the coast of
northern Germany, are in the hands
of the mutineers, who have called up
on the sailors to defend the country
against the "unheard of presump-
ton" contained in tie Allied armis-
tice terms.
1t is again reported that Charles,
emperor of Austria and King of Hun
gary, has followed the example OF
his chief colleague in the war, Will
lam Hohenzollern, and laid aside his
scepter.

sacrificing their lives for their well
fare and the freedom Of the world. l
am enjoying army life fine as we have

Extracts from a Soldiers Letter
To r. o, Thomas

Rather rocky.
Just a year ago tonight I entered
the army. Who would ever thought
/ would be here tonight?
The fellow / bunk with is from Chi

one. In the army, as well as in any
other walk of life, fellows pair off and
pal together. Help take care OF one
another's belongings, wake one anotli-
er, which is big task sometimes.
My pal and have fixed us a little
home of corrugated iron roofing and
mud, in a trench so you see we are
not living in our tent now. Have a
dandy bed. We took some poles and
boards, hung it on some wires from
the roof of our hut. Have q mattress
on it. Have a little stove and plenty
of good wood to burn when we come
in nights. Some of these days soon !
will be back to modern life.
1 a mthankful that my health has
been good for have felt so well since
/ left the states.
I. Got a piece Of chocolate this morn
ing. First have had for a long time.
Two cigars and a package Of cookies.

When you next write put in paper for
a return letter.
Will try and give you an idea Of my
possessions: A cap, steel helmet, scarf.

underwear, two shirts, 3 heavy wool
socks, one pair of hOb-nail shoes, one
pair Of hip boots, one overcast, one
