1867 DAYS OF HORROR COST
AT LEAST 5000, 900 LIVES
By the Assor;a ted Press.


The greatest war in history ended this morn
ing at o'clock, Washington time, after 1867
days of horror, during which virtually the
whole civilized world has been convulsed.
Announcement of the tremendous event was
made at the State Department at the capital
at 2:45 o'clock this morning and in few Sec
onds was flashed throughout the continent by
the Associated Press.
The terse announcement of the State De-
partment did not tell anything of the scene at
Marshal Foch's headquarters at the time the
armistice was signed. 1t was stated, however,
that at S o'clock, Paris time, the signatures of
Germany's delegates were affixed to the docu-
ment which blasted forever the dreams which
embroiled the world in a struggle which has
cost, at the very lowest estimate, 10000, 600
lives.
