Sides (Arms. It Washington, Nov. 11.?Signing of the ^armistice -with Germany was proclaimed today by President Wilson, who also announced its terms at a joint session of congress. The terms herald the end of the ; war because they take from Germany the power to renew it. Just before he went to the*capitol the president in a proclamation addressed to his fellow countrymen said: 'The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished, it will now be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sbber, friendly counsel and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world." Stripped of its malicious powe^, the military autocracy, it masters driven ? to exile, stands before the world's |? court c.Y justice, having subscribed to terms cf surrender which probably V will be recorded in history as the 'most drastic and complete ever ineas .ured out to a defeated foe. ac 'v - TEETTE HUTTO. ? f ^ In remembrance of little Teetie Hutto daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.
