THE WAR IS STILL ON

In a way the assumption that the war is over, is premature, for,
officially, at least, the war is still on. The compact which was
signed on the morning of November II was not in any sense : treae
ty of peace. It was an agreement for the temporary accession OF
hostiities, and, while on its face this arrangement was merely TEN
porary, the conditions imposed by the stronger party were such
rs to make it physically impossible for the other party to resume
the fighting. Nevertheless the enemy status of the two groups is
unchanged.
In the advances which have been made by the American and Al
lied forces into the territory vacated by the Germans care has been
taken to maintain the advancing troops on the basis OF a fighting ghh t
force, and so thoroughly has this been done that almost within a
few minutes any one of the forces of occupation could have been
throwing shells into the ranks of the retreating Germans had this
been called for.
In the surrender of the several sections of the German fleet
similar precautions have been taken. Very precise instructions
were given to the commanders Of the German ships as to the man
ner in which they should proceed, and the guns of the British fleet,
with the supporting French and American squadrons, We're kept
trained on the enemy vessels in such a manner that at the first
indication of treachery destructive broadsides could have been
poured upon the German ships.
The other day, when American forces entered the grand duchy
Of Gutenberg, General Pershing issued a proclamation to the res
idents in which the German force which had just departed was con:
stanty referred to as "the enemy"
To all intents, of course, peace has been achieved. The German
authorities would have preferred a different sort of peace, a peace
by arrangement and agreement: That sort Of peace was not con
sidered. The Germans were given the choice of reducing them
selves to a state Of heplessness by the vacation of territory, ant
the surrender of the machinery of war and continuing the fight

PROMINENT IN The WINTER STYLES, PARADE.

People are flocking South in winter
like the birds. Railroads have annih-

tween lands Of snow and lands of sun
is measured by few hours. The Won
der Is that anyone who can possibly
help it endures the sting of Northern
winters for months anil months, espe-
cially as the genial South has many IN
lurements besides its climate. Among
them are the smart clothes that the
fair Southern tourist INDUCES in.
This business of furnishing apparel
for winter tourists wear has become
an important factor in establishing
fashions and all womanhood is inter
ested in the parade of styles at Palm
Beach, Coronado and other centers
where people of wealth assemble. The
best things that money can buy are
seen in these places and they tone up
the dress of women all over the land.
For instance, the hat and bag to
match shown in the picture above is
one of many beautiful matched sets
made In anticipation of the demand
for smart and novel dress accessories
which comes into a rush just about
Christmas time or Immediately after
the holidays. OF course milady of

her knitting bag, and she may have

to wear with several hats. This set
