No Capacity For Surprises
The last day, Of the war have
been so crowded with enormous
events that there is no capacity left
for surprises or sensations. The
terms of President Wilson's note to
Germany dealing with the freedom
of the seas and compensation to the
allies, are endorsed by all newspapers
here. 1t is believed that Germany
knew from the terms OF the Aus
trian armistice the sort OF peace she
had to expect and that her military
situation would give her no alterna-
tive but to bow.
News from the front says that the
bar nresser armies have no fresh di-
visions TO throw into the battle.

the message from Gen. Pershing and
every man of his command, delivered
to the American people recently by
Major Frederick Palmer, chief censor
on Gen. Pershing's staff, in an address
to the National Press Club.
Build ships and let every woman
and child in the land think ships
said he. 1--WE ought to be wearing
wearing little metal ships in our but
tenholes. Children ought to play
with toy ships. The woman who turns
from knitting to encouraging ships
riveter to do more rivets day is
serving her country, and every time
you think ships you are thinking of
cur men fighting for you in France.
Would you have them want for food,
for clothes, Cor ammunition to answer
the German fleet?
Would you have them think that
you had forgotten them-you in your
comfort at home? Would you have
the lives of ouch men unnecessarily
sacrificed because you had not On
centrated your efforts on the tLN4
that meant most to them? III
Toward our shipyards for the
power they mean during and after
the war the German General Staff
strains its vision Build, build and
continue to build ships. Wake a
