FINAL. LASTING PEACE
NEXTTASK FOR ALLIES
Greatest Conference in His
tory Will Now Be Held.
TIME ALLOTTED 30 DAYS
Extension Poftiblc, Owing to Colos
sal Nature of Problems and Pos
sible New developments.
aVASIIINGTON, Nov. 11 Prepara
tions for final peace negotiations will
engross American and allied statesmen
during the next few, weeks, while Mar
shal Koch and the naval commanders
see to it that the terms of the armistice
which ended the fighting today are
carried out.
Thirty days is the armistice period,
and since it hardly will be possible to
as.scmblp the greatest peace confer
ence in history within that time, an ex
tension practically is certain to be
granted by the victors and accepted by
the vanquished.
What happens in Germany, in what
once was Austria-Hungary and in Kus
eia during the meantime probably will
govern the solution of many of the
complex problems awaiting: the con
ference, t
Absorbed in the celebration of the
German surrender, the officials today
were unwilling to - even discuss for
publication the steps to be taken to
hrcure the fruits of victory and make
future wars, at least on so vast a scale,
impossible. Hut in a general way
what is to be - expected already is
known.
Wflson'M Ittcranres Hllft.
The various utterances of President
"Wilson and the Premiers and public
men of the entente countries all have
been carefully studied by those who
must plan the next step. At one time
or another these spokesmen have
touched upon nearly every idea that
might be . properly included in the
treat ies.
This is particularly true of President
Wilson's declarations, which represent
not only the ideas of the American
Government, but from their almost
unqualified acceptance by the entente
powers may be regarded as already
constituting the framework which can
be clothed with the details necessary
to round out a complete fabric of
peace conventions.
Vanquished Must Wait.
This framework, in all probability,
will be put into final shape by dis-a-Asston.
among the chiefs of the vic
torious powers long before the repre
sentatives of the vanquished are called
in to accept or plead for modification
of what is to be dictated to them.
The preliminary work is expected to be
carried on much as the armistice terms
prepared, the nations which have taken
the largest part in the war and whose
voices consequently are entitled to
greatest weight, preparing the outline
with the spokesman of the many others
with aspirations to be satisfied joining
in the discussions when their interests
are involved.
Probably the violent changes in the
existing conditions which will result
from the enforcement of the terms of
the armistice will powerfully strength
en the earnest desire of all nations con
corned to have the final terrm made at
the earliest possible moment.
One of the most weighty problems
connected with geographical re-arrangements
the future of Alsace-Lorraine
has already practicr.lly been
settled 'by the acceptance of President
Wilson's declaration for righting the
wrong of 1870 which means uncondi
tional return of the provinces to
France.
New Problems Appear.
In his address to Congress today in
connection wtih the armistice President
Wilson indicated another serious prob
lem that must engage the attention of
the peace conference the question of
the stability and competency of the
governments with, which covenants of
peace are to be made.
Signing of the armistice with Ger
many was proclaimed today by Presi
dent Wilson, who also announced its
terms at a joint session of Congress.
,rhe terms herald the end of the war
Detause they take from Germany the
power to renew it.
Just before he went to the Capitol
the President in a proclamation ad
dressed to his fellow countrymen said:
"The armistice was signed this morn

Combing: Won't Rid
Hair of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve It, then you destroy
It entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
It at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub It in gen
tly with the finger tips.
Do this tonight and by morning most.
If not all, of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de
stroy every single sign and trace of
it, no matter how much, dandruff you
ma iiave.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work. AdvA

AVilaon Reads Terms.
The terms of the armistice with Ger
many were read to Congrress by Presi
dent Wilson at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
Assembled in the hall of the House,
where 19 months a;o Senators and Rep
resentatives heard the President ask
for the declaration of war, they today
heard him speak the words which
herald the coming of peace.
The President spoke as follows:
"Ccnlfcrnen of the Congress:
"In these anxious times of rapid and
stupendous chang-e it will in some de
cree lighten my sense of responsibility
to perform in person the duty of com
municating to you some of the lartrer
circumstances of the situation with
which it is necessary to deal.
Araiiiitlre I Signed.
"The German authorities, who have
at the invitation of the supreme war
council been in communication with
Marshal Koch, have accepted and signed
the terms of armistice which he was
authorized and instructed to communi
cate to them. (Here Mr. "Wilson read
the terms in full.)
Then the President continued:
'The war thus comes to an end:
for, having accepted these terms of
armistice, it will x be impossible for
the German command to renew it.
"It is not now possible to assess the
consequences of this great consumma
tion. We know only that this tragical
war. whose consuming flames swept
from oue nation to another until all
the world was on fire, is at an end, and
that it was the privilege of our own
people to enter It at its most critical
juncture in such fashion and in such
force as to contribute in a way of
which we are all deeply proud to the
great result. We know. too. that the
object of the war is attained; the ob
ject upon which all free men had set
their hearts; - and attained with a
sweeping completeness which even
now we do not realize. Armed im
perialism such as the, men conceived
v.ho were but yesterday the masters
of Germany is at an end. Its illicit am
bitions engulf id in black disaster. Who
will now seek to tevive it? The arbi
trary power of the military caste of
Germany, which once could secretly
and of its own single choice disturb
the peace of the world, is discredited
and destroyed.
Great Thing Aeeomllahed
"And more than that much more
than that has been ' accomplished.
The great nations which associated
themselves to destroy it have now
definitely united in the common pur
pose to set up such a peace as will
satisfy the longing of the whole world
for disinterested justice, enibodied in
settlements which are based upon
something much better and much more
lasting than the selfish competitive
interests of powerful states.
"There is no longer conjecture as to
the objects the victors have in mind.
They have a mind in the matter, not
only, but a heart also. Their avowed
and concerted purpose is to satisfy and
protect the weak as well as to accord
their just rights to the strong.
"The humane temper and intention
cf the victorious governments has al
ready been manifested in a very prac
tical way. Their representatives in the
supreme war council at Versailles have
by unanimous resoiution assured the
peoples of the central empires that
everything that is possible in the cir
cumstances will be done to supply
them with food and relie-o the dis
tressing want that is in so many places
threatening their very lives; and steps
are to be taken immediately to organ
ize these efforts at relief in the same
systematic manner that they were or
ganized in the case of Belgium.
Misery to Be Relieved.
"By the use of the idle tonnage of
the central empires it ought presently
to be possible to lift the fear of utter
misery from their oppressed peoples
and set their minds and energies free
for the great and hazardous tasks of
political reconstruction which now
face them on every hand. Hunger does
not breed reform; it breeds madness
and all the ugly distempers that make
an ordered life impossible.
"For with the fall of the ancient
governments which rested like an in
cubus upon the peoples of the central
empires has come political change not
merely, but revolution; and revolution
which seems as yet to assume no final
and ordered form, but to run from one
fluid change to another, until thought
ful men are forced to ask themselves
with what governments, and of what
sort, are we about to deal in the wak
ing of the covenants of peace?
"With what authority will they meet
us, and with what assurance that their
authority will abide and sustain se
curely the international arrangements
into which we are about to enter?
There is here matter for no small
anxietv and misgiving. When peace
is made, upon whose promises and en
gagements besides our own is it to
rest?
Patience la Counseled.
"Let us be perfectly frank with our
selves and admit that these questions
cannot be satisfactorily answered now
or at once. But the moral is not that
there is little hope of an early answer
that will suffice. It is only that we
must be patient and helpful and mind
ful above all of the great hope and
confidence that lie at the heart of what
is taking place. Excesses accomplish
nothing.
"Unhappy Russia has furnished
abundant recent proof ot that. If ex
cesses should occur, if'disorder should
for a time raise Its head, a sober second
thought will follow and a day of con
structive action, if we help and do not
hinder.
"The present and all that it holds
belongs to the nations and the peoples
who preserve their self-control and the
orderly processes of their governments;
the future to those who prove them
selves true friends of mankind. To
conquer with arms is to make only a
temporary conquest; to conquer the
world by earning its esteem is to make
permanent conquest. I am confident
that the nations that have learned the
discipline of freedom and that have set
tled with self-possession to its ordered
practice are now about to make a con
quest of the world by the sheer power
of example and of friendly helpfulness.
Liberated Peoples Face Tea.
"The peoples who have but just come
out from under the yoke of arbitrary
government and who are now coming
at last into their freedom will naver
find the treasures of liberty they are
in search of if they look for them by
the light of the torch. They will find
that every pathway that is stained
with the blood of their own brothers
leads to the wilderness, not to the seat
of their hope.
"They are now face to face with their
Initial tests. We must hold the light
steady until they find themselves. And
in the meantime, if it be possible, we
must establish a peace that will justly
define their place among the nations,
remove all fear of their neighbors and
of their former masters and to enable
them to live in security .and content
ment when they have set their own af
fairs in order.
"I for one do not doubt their purpose
or their capacity. There are some
happy signs that they know and will
choose the way of self-control and
peaceful accommodations. If they do,
we shall put our aid at their disposal
in every way that we can. If they do
pot, we must await with patience and
sympathy the awakening and recovery
that will assuredly come at last."
Stripped of its malicious power, the
military autocracy, its masters jdriven
to exile, stands before the world's
court of justice having subscribed to
terms of surrender which probably will
be recorded in history as the most
drastic and complete ever measured
out to a defeated foe. H
Reading of the full text of the terms
discloses measures tie United States
and the allied governments have taken
to guarantee that Germany's accept
ance shall not be a scrap of paper and
to insure the destruction of the mili
tary caste which once could secretly
and of its single choice disturb the
peace of the world.
When President Wilson concluded his
exchange of notes with Prince Max.
then Chancellor. Administration offi
cials declared that if his course did not
bring about what they hoped would be
more than an unconditional surrender,
it might bring about .. revolution in
Germany.
Pointing today to the Kohenzollern
dynasty, dethroned and exiled, the peo
ple's revolution sweeping Germany and
the terms of the armistice, these offi
cial felt their predictions amp',' ful
filled. Hc-lng lifted the yoke of militarism
from the peoples of the central em
pires, the allies now turn to the tasks
of humanity and mercy to bind up their
wounds and feed the hungrv. mean
while seeking to guide them to a place
In the family of nations from which
they can take part in assuring that
another such 1300 days of blood and
horror need never come again.
Kvacuation, reparation and restitu
tion are the keynotes of the armistice.
Korre of Terms Outlined.
Here are the principal things Ger
many must do. or, powerless before- the
victorious allied armies, will hare done
for her:
Immediate evacuation of Alsace-Lorraine,
Belgium. Luxemburg, Russia and
Roumania without further destruction
or harm to inhabitants.
Then occupation by American and al
lied troops of all the countries on the
west bank of the Rhine.
Then, further creation of a neutral
zone in a strip of territory on the east
bank of the Rhine 30 kilometers (about
20 miles) wide, extending from Hol
land half way down to the Swiss bor
der and 20 kilometers wide for tho rc
ma i nder.
Meanwhile as a guaranty of good
faith, the occupation by. American and
allied troops of Mayencc. Coblentz, and
Cologne, the principal crossings of the
Rhine with a 30-kilometer radius with
the bridge heads.
On the eastern front all German
troops are to be withdrawn from ter
ritory which before the war belonged
to Russia, Roumania or Turkey.
Then, tho German war machine must
disarm. The principal portions of its
navy must be handed over; arms, mu
nitions and engines of war numbered
by the thousands are to be taken from
the army.
Prlaoacra To D Repatriated.
American and allied prisoners are to
at once be repatriated, without re
ciprocal action by the associated gov
ernments and the thousands of
wretched civilians dragged off into
slavery from the invaded territories are
to be returned.
The provision for compensating the
occupied territories for the havoc
wrought by the invaders is contained
in a simple sentence reparation for
damage done.
As a step to restoring the map lines,
the treaties of Brest-Litovsk. which
laid Russia prone, and of Bucharest,
which plundered Roumania, must be
abandoned.
Moneys, securities, precious metals
and other valuables looted from the
invaded countries must be returned In
trust to the allies until the conclusion
of peace.
In the west the railways of Alsace
Lorraine, the valuable stores of iron
and coal, all the stores and supplies
in Belgium with arms and armaments
must be handed over.
In the east the Black Sea ports must
be evacuated, the warships taken by
Germany from the Russians must be
surrendered; in the Baltic forts and
defenses barring the way at the Cat
tegat must be delivered, and there
must be free access to the sea for the
allies.
Blockade 4s Continue.
The allied blockade is to remain un
changed. Meanwhile German merchant
ships are to be delivered for missions
of mercy in carrying food to the starv
ing; allied shipping held by the Ger
mans is to be released without any
obligation to restore to Germany her
ships now In the hands f the associ
ated governments. -
Germany is to notify the neutrals
they are free to trade with the asso
ciated governments without molesta
tion. In a word, the iron ring Is tightened
and at her borders the civilized world
waits while Germany reforms herself
from within.
One provision of the armistice which
was supplementary to the text as first
drawn by the supreme war council, and
therefore does not appear in the text
as President Wilson delivered It, was
inserted after the German revolution
ists took possession of the German
fleet.
It provides that if the fleet la not
delivered as specified in the agree
ment the associated governments may
occupy the Heligoland fortress as an
advanced base to secure possession
of it.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. Immediate
dropping of food prices as a result of
the conclusion of an armistice cannot
be expected. Food Administrator
Hoover declared tonight in a statement,
which added that while the prices of
some foodstuffs will decrease, others
will increase.
"With the war effectually over." said
Mr. Hoover, "we enter a new economic
era and its immediate effect on prices
is difficult to anticipate. The prices of
some food commodities may increase,
but others will decrease, because with
liberated shipping accumulated stocks
In the southern hemisphere and the far
east will be available. The demands
upon the United Stales will change in
character but not In volume."
All activities of the Food Adminis
