With the sign-j j ing of the armistice Monday morning I hostilities ceased. The armistice is < equivalent to peace, though, of < \u. course, peace has not yet been con-j^ 8ummated, but that is a mere matter 1 of?form. Germany's sails have been so trimmed that it will be impossi- \ f - o 'ble for the ship of war to sail again. % . For four years and three months a large portion of the civilized world l t has been engaged in the greatest con- j flict in the history of the world. About the first of \ugust, 1914, the; smouldering embers burst -into a j mighty flame, with several of the a great European powers, and'some of t the lesser lights, as belligerents, j Gradually other powers were drawn c hinto the war, until all of the Euro- i r > 1 L pean nations withx the exception of a p, a few small countries, were arrayed j j against each other, Germany, allied i L with Austria Hungary^ Turkey and j 1 Bulgaria forming the one side and i j the allied nations forming the other; t side. Several of thfe small nations al- i T t: i I lied themselves either by sympathyj t or actual combat on the one side or : f r the other. Thus the war raged for j ^ nearly three years, with the odds j s greatly in favor of the Teutonic pow-' ers. j The entrance of the United States r into the war marked the turning j ^ point, though her full power was not j c felt for more than a year after the ( actual declaration of war. At the a moment of America's entrance, the f allied nations stood defeated with- j f out a doubt, and without the aid of j r this country Germany would have t " ! swept over Hiurupe m a. vitiuij ui c crime and rapine. j t Civilization was saved to the world : j and America may now well enjoy j g thg? fruits of her magnificent victory. ^ She has paid her debt of honor to France; our relations with England, ^ for so long cordial, are now cement- ~c ed with genuine brotherly love; we t have made an ally of Italy that: ^ should last for centuries. And lit- i j tie Belgium, that country already be- \ loved by all the civilized world for | her grand and magnificent defense! t of right against her own best inter-1 ^ ests?long may she live in happi- j < , ness and prosperity. With the aid of f her brothers on this and the other! r i1 side of the Atlantic, she will be re- j s built, more magnificently than ever. I Nnw for the work of reconstruc-! r tion and return to normal conditions, j q Already the effects of peace are be-; j ing felt, for* all the calls for draftees ! ^ have been cancelled. All those who t were expecting to leave for the train- s ing camp, will alter their arrangements and remain at home. Com- r merce and industry will hastily re- i turn to their normal places in the world of progress. Democracy will ^ prevail throughout the civilized j \ I ranee kLAUBI : them at j; /ft\Tk hem <5ut. ! j ^ and see ~ r me wonom New |' | jjl IcanunBER'S,' vorld. If the moral and spiritual condi:ion of the world does not keep pace frith the progress of democracy, the jreat war will have been fought in rain. For the lack of the love of jod, and the failure of mankind to orneriizp His authority over nations tnd individuals without a doubt was he underlying cause of the war. Selishness, greed and the yearning ot vorld domination does not exist in he hearts of a nation of God loving tnd God fearing people. Let us iill jive thanks to the Giver of all things or the great victory, and let prayers tscend that the victorious nations nay prove as big in victory as they vere in conflict, and that the estabishment of democracy may be ac:ompanied by brotherly love toward ill peoples. TONT CANCEL*AT ONCE HLL BE CURTAILED GRADUALLY AFTER WAR. \ it Same Time to Be Gradual Lifting ' of Restrictions Put Upon Industry. Washington, Nov. 8.?Chairman Baruch, of the war industries board, .uthorized the statement tonight that he coming peace will not result in mmediate cancellation of war supply ontracts but that contracts will be ancelled gradually as requirements re reduced, making it possible to ift curtailments and restrictions ipon ordinary industrial activities. "For some time to come," said Mr. Baruch, "assuming the armistice will* >e signed, for a period to be deternined by the war making agencies of he government, government conracts must continue on a wide scale, ^his circumstance applies to a coniderable share of present contracts. "As the demand for raw materials s lessened by the reduction of war equirements and the cancellation of rar contracts, and when such canellations be made, the raw materials d made available will be released and llocated by the war industries boaT or use in supplying civilian and e lort demands, which through curtail-1 nent have been held in check during i he war. In addition to the ordinary! ommercial requirements there will' >e a heavy flow of materials thus re- j eased to supply the demand for the| reat constructional work required by \ he Europeap countries. . "At the same time there/is to be a j gradual lifting of the restrictions and i :urtailments that have been imposed 1 ipon industry by the exigency of the j var so as to allow as promptly as j >ossible the free flow of all suppliesj nto peace channels. "The wTar industries board will coninue to exercise its functions until he peace treaty is signed, to the end hit the readjusment of the matters *n which it has been acting may be nade in as orderly a manner as pos-j lible. "A committee named by the Presilent has been an'd is now at work to ; levise the best mechanism of bring- j ng about the readjustments from a var to a peace basis. The report of he committee may take the form of iuggested legislation. "The whole effect of the readjustnent plans will be to the end of >ringing about necessary changes yith as full opportunity for all to >enefit as in the past by individual ngenuity, vision and fair dealing." / J . * 7D?Tk^ Qi , -ilY kJ) 1 I1U UlUIC j Dresses in serge, silks.
