WHILE il is true that the war is now
over-for the signing of the armistice
has stopped the fighting and twill never
be resumed-it will be months before
the terms of peace will be finally agreed
upon. Each of the belligerent coun
tries will now have to appoint repre-
sentatives to meet together at some
place to be agreed upon, named by the
victorious Allies, and there settle upon
the final terms. 1t will be a dictated
peace, not negotiated peace, with the
Allies doing the debating, but the con-
ouered peoples will have the right to
a hearing and to express themselves
around the peace table. 1t will take
some time to appoint the plenipoten-
iaries and to adjust all the important
issues and dilicate questions that must
be considered. Possibly six months
will pass before the final details OF the
peace terms shall have been settled.

Our Presidents masterful diplomacy.
the unfaltering courage Of our fighting
men and the unparalleled resourceful-
ness and efficiency Of our people are
acknowledged to have turned the scales
when the fate Of the nations hung IN

scholar in politics, has shown him
self to be diplomat whose skill has
utterly COMPOUNDED the old-world
schemers and whose steadfast honesty
and candor and truthfulness have en-
abled him to secure every point for
which he has contended. Our armies
Of patriotic men, fighting alone for
