.The war thus comes to an
end, for, having accepted these

possible for the German com.
mand to renew 1t.
1T is not now possible to as.
scss the consequences of this
great contamination. We know
only that this traSical war, whose
consuming flames swept from
one nation to another until all the
world was on fire, is at an end
and that 1t was the privilege of
our 1--WE people to enter Ytsat Its.
most critical juncture in such<
fashion and in such force as to
contribute in a 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 upon which all free men
had set theft hearts; and attain
ed with q sweeping completeness
which even now. we do not re-
allie. Armed imperialism such
as the men conceived who were
but yesterday the masters OF
Germany, is at an end, its H.:
licit ambitions engulfed in black
disaster. Who will now seek to
revive it? The arbitrary power
of the military caste of Germany
which ono could secretly and of
its own single choice disturb the
peace of the world is discredited
and destroyed. And moro than
that-much more than that
has been accomplished. The
great nations which associated
themselves to destroy 1t had now
definitely united in the common
purpose to setsup such q peace as
will satisfysathe longing Of the
whole world for disinterested
justice, embodied in settlements
which are based upon something
much better and much more
lasting than the selfish compea-
