TIIK JOURNAL published last
Thursday the erroneous re
port from Paris that the 'armistice
had been signed by the German
envoys. The news was nubllshed
iu good faith by this paper, which -was

made.' Yet because this paper

Only a few days ago the leaders were
wondering If It would be possible to put
through the grand drive in face of what
might be considered insurmountable ob
stacles. Harking the culmination of set
backs came the call for 60 per cent over
subscriptions. Oregon's share in the
united cause was shoved up to $1,150,000,
and Portland's share waa advanced by
one half to $450,000. .
Mettle of Citlsens Tested
Here was a situation to test the mettle
of Oregon's citizenry. AIt need only be
recorded that the problem was attacked
with undaunted courage, necessary
changes. of method were made and those
who must make a success of. the effort
by giving and, pledging were informed
of the emergency. As a result the lead-

reached Portland on Thursday night at

PARIS, Nov. 9. (9:30 p. m.) It was announced in the cham- :
ber of deputies this afternoon that the kaiser abdicated today.
There is reason to believe that the abdication will not affect
the armistice terms, which are purely military. v ;

Max of Baden, the chancellor, that the crown prince, too, must go. ,
. , A constitutional German national assembly is then to vote '
upon the form of government for the new Germany. It will decide
whether there shall be a new emperor or a German republic.'

is settled. He announces his intention to appoint a Socialist, Dep

-" "- " vv-v wuk. no i j- i
sisted his Inevitable fate to the very!
last moment. The revolution . and
Prince Max's resignation, which wa
an ultimatum, brought the climax.
Prince Max's proclamation, as given
out by the British wireless service
late today, follows;
"The kaiser and king haa decided to
renounce the throne. The imperial chan
cellor wiu remain In office until the
question connected with I the abdication
ot the kaiser, renouncing by the crown

Deputy Ebert as the imperial chancellor,
and he proposes that a bttt shall be
brought In for the establishment of a
law providing for the Immediate pro
mulgation of general suffrage and for a
constitutional - German national assem
bly, which win settle finally the future
