There was no information as to the circumstances under which the armis tice was signed, but since the German courier did not reach German military headquarters until 10 o'clock yester day morning, French time, it was gen erally assumed here that the German envoys within the trench lines had been instructed by' wireless to sign the terms. Courier Takes 47 Hours. Forty-seven hours had been required for the courier to reach German head quarters. Unquestionably several hours were necessary for the examination of the terms and a decision. .

Germany had been given until 11 o'clock this morning, French time; 6 o'clock Washington, to accept.

Albert Ballin. whose death la an nounced at Berlin, apart from being one of the greatest shipping men of the world prior to the outbreak of the war, was somewhat celebrated because of his intimacy with the German Em peror. He was born In IS 57. In all ship ping matters he was the Emperor's trusted adviser, second only, on occa sion, to Grand Admiral von Tlrpits. There was a report, widely circu lated, that the resignation of Von Tlr pits was finally brought about by Bal lin, who declared himself opposed to many features of the submarine policy. and having the Emperor's ear was said to have warned him of the serious con sequences of the useless destruction of merchant ships. This was in 191. but after the United States entered the war, Herr Ballin had little to say and soon fell into disfavor, probably because of his failure to support the Emperor and the government in the policy which had brought about a state of war be tween Germany and the United States. There is a well authenticated story of a conference between the Emperor, Von Hindenburg, Ludendorff and Bal lin, in which the shipping man, after listening to the glowing account of the military situation given by the mili tary leaders, told the Emperor that every extra month of the war meant an additional year In getting out of the ruin, after the war.

RISE III WRATH Mad Design to Rule Vcrld Topples Into Ruin. GREAT EMPIRE SEEMS &0NE Social Revolution Changes the Problem of Allies to Res toration of Order. RIGHT TO RULE IS ASSERTED Revolt, Famine and Anarchy Stalk Within Borders of Coun tries That Menaced World. tPy the Assoctstcd Pre. The German people, for a genera tion the obedient and submissive serv ants of their war lord, for more than four years his pliant instruments in ravaging the world, have spoken a new word and the old Germany seens gone. From the confused, sometimes con flicting" and often delayed advices from Germany in the last two days, it has now become apparent that William, Emperor and King, has ' een" stripped of his .lowers. He is now plain Will iam Hohenzollern, a fugitive in Holland. With his fall topples into ruin William's mad design to rule the world. Chaos Rules in Germany. Little is known of the situation to day in Germany, for that country is in the first day3 of its new adventure. It is not clear whether the old regime has been permanently dislodged or whether the new authorities with the unscrupulous adroitness, which has long marked German politics, are merely sacrificing the chief figure heads of Kaiserism in the hope of ob taining an easier peace. It appears probable'that no one in Germany knows and that it is still to be determined which of the contending elements will gain the ascendency. Revolution Spreading Rapidly. Revolution is spreading rapidly, and from the fact that a Socialist now is Chancellor, it may be gathered that the object of the revolution it not merely the quick ending of the war, but the complete severance of the political ties which still bind the na tion with its past. For the allies the problem has changed. The countries which fought Germany and her vassals for more than four years have emerged from it completely triumphant, but within the borders of the countries which menaced the peace of the whole world stalk revolt, famine and anarchy. To Restore Order May Be Next Task. The world's next task may be to re store order in the desolated central em pires, it may be a lot ot tnc lorces that have successfully contested Ger many's greed for power to save her from the fate she imposed on Russia. Likewise, help will have to be given to Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, whose ruin Germany wrought. The German empire was the last of the great autocracies whose fall marks the real significance of the. war. In Russia, Austria-Hungary and finally in Germany irresponsible power gave way before the irresistible forces of democraoy. Hindenburg's Prophecy Comes True. Germany, holding on to tho last, kept up the hopeless struggle until Field Marshal von Hindenburg's prophetic words early in the war came true. The side with the strongest nerves, said he, would win. It was the crumbling of the home front which made it impossible for Germany, not withstanding her great armies in the field, to carry on any longer. The collapse of Germany brings the eclipse of the German idea of the state as opposed to the doctrine of in dividual rights, to which the nation clung with hardly a dissenting voice until recently. Under this regima there was developed a nation of which militarism was the embodiment, which murdered and plundered, was heedless of the rights of the individual and made terrorism a matter of studied policy. Terrorism World-Wide. A matter of studied policy. This ter rorism was directed against not only individuals but against nations, against not only hostile nations, but those with which Germany waa offi-
