Kaiser, Wife and Oldest Son
Flee Into Holland.


The world war is over. Germany
accepted the terms of the allies Sun
day night and an agreement was ar
ranged to stop fighting at O'Clock
Monday morning, Washington time.
The signing of the armistlce is not
in fact the treaty of peace, but that
the war will end at once on the coz
ditions set out by the allies is certain
for Germay is powerless to carry the
war further and since she must sur
render such vast amounts of her fight
ing machinery, ships and stores it
would be idle to consider the armistice
in any other light than that peace
has really come. The armistice is
tor 80 days.
SOME OF THE CONDITIONS.
Germany must give up 5000 guns,
field and light artillery; 10000 mach
inc guns. 5000 flame throwers, 1000
airplanes, 5000 locomotives, $4,000
wagons. 10000 motor larries. the
railways, Alsace-Lorraine and stores
of coal and iron. The Germans must
reveal mines, poisoned weias, release
all prisoners Of war and Notify all
neutral nations that they are at once
to have free access to all German
trade ports. Also many other things
of vital Importance that are too num-
erous to mention here
