The allies: and Germany signed the armis tice at 11 o'clock this morning and hostilities ceased at 2 o'clock this afternoon. This action definitely ended the greatest war of all time. In order to sign this armistice, the German delegation came into the allied lines under a white flag. As Marshal Foch's terms are known to include provisions which will prevent the resumption of hostilities, the war is defi nitely ended. The American armies took the city of Sedan just before the armistice became effective. (This capture of Sedan is especially gratifying to the French, as it was at Sedan that Germany won the war against France in 1871). IMMENSE WAR PREPARATION Is (ti'ontly lnir'sMl ly Hio ;nilt .

The foregoing dispatch to the United Press, which brought the first news to America that the armistice had been signed, was signed personally by Roy W. Howard, president of the United Press, now in general charge of the United Press organization in France. It was also signed by William Phillip Simms, chief of the Pal is bureau of the United Press Association. One hour after the receipt of the news that the armistice had been signed, neither tlje Associated Press nor Hearst's Interna tional News Service had word of its being signed. (The Review has learned that this great news event has since been confirmed by the International News Service. It is also con firmed by messages received by Portland bankers).

With difficulty a brief pause was gained while Rev. C. H. Hilton, in an automobile in the center of the street in front of The Keview otlice, made a brief but stirring address. This was fre quently punctuated with shouts, cheers and shooting of blank shells. ' Along the streets hundreds of people gathered quickly, and many mothers with sons at the front wept for joy at the news that their boys can now come home unscathed from the terrible conflict. Rev. Hilton declared that November 7, 1918, will go down in history as one of the greatest days the world has ever known, as it definitely marks the and of the terrible German dream of world domination and the establishment of a world-wide democracy which will last forever. Our war worn heroes may now come home, although some will remain abroad for a year or two for policing the war torn nations. Jt was American energy and aggressiveness and "pop" that brought this great struggle to a close at this hour. Hence we have a right to celebrate lit is victory for world peace and freedom.
