PEACE HIRE
NEW PROBLEMS To
SOLVE ARE MANY
GERMANS RELUCTANTLY AFFlH
SIGNATURES TO TREATY AND
WAR OFFICIALLY ENDS.
MUST BE REBUILT
Lessons Learned by People lnsures
the Bringing into Closer Contact
of Citizens and Government.

Now that the new German Govern
ment has accepted the inevitable, and
has officially signed the peace terms
rendered them by the Allies and the
countries associated with them. the
greatest and most disastrous war that
has v e scourged the world is ended
For nearly i've years now the world
has been topsy turvy. The things that
were needed yesterday are no longer
required, and the products Of the
great war establishments and mum
ton plants are being diverted to the
manufacture Of implements Of peace
There will now needs to be a re-
adjustment. Governments that have
thought in billions and spent money
with a lavish hand, must needs re
trench and think in millions and even
smaller amounts, and must gain a new
perspective.
Viewed in the retrospect the part
played by America in the great world
was is one Of the most glorious chap
tiers in history. The greatest nation
the world has yer seen to rise and
gain predominance in world affairs
was the one to add the finishing blow
to the Unprecedented struggle. AnC
in the days that followed the signint
of the armistice it was that same
country, America, that led in the roa'
to world peace.
And in the making Of this brillian
history the plain American citize.
played a stellar role. The mountain
of munitions, the equipment for tn
millions of soldiers, the great ship
that carried the men across the oceaI
could not have been provided had nc
the common people Of America pr
v vided the money.
Much of this money was obtaine
through the sale of Liberty Bonds an
y the War Savings and the Thri
Stamps. And this great volume
!" money has not been wasted. Fir
ar 1t brought permanent peace to d
/. world, and now that real peace
here, every cent that was so invest
will come back to those who aid
their government, and it viii cor
back with interest.
This war that is now happily end
has taught the people the value
in saving. They went into the saw
n game as much through patriotism
{; anything else, But now that they q
