Brltlah amaahed the Hlndenburs line

Tnrklah army waa ahrtttered, and by
September 27 had loat 45,000 men In

The flrat decisive break In the ranks
of the central empire came on Sep

commander of the' Bulgar armies
which were routed before the advanc
ing Serb and French, asked for an
armistice. On September 80 Bulgaria
accepted the armistice terma pro
posed by the allies and surrendered
unconditionally.
Teuton Move for Peace.
Turkey moved for peace on October
4 and the German people were thrown
into a panic aa they aaw their allies
crumbling. Prince Mas, who had now
become German chancellor, addreaaed
a note to President Wilson, asking that
step be taken immediately to conclude
an armistice and to open peace nego
tiations Prealdent Wilson answered
by asking whether he spoke for the
people or the then rulers of the empire
and whether the proposal was baaed
on an acceptance of the presidents 14
pence points. Meanwhile the drive on
the west front continued, and the Ger
mans were driven from much gronnd
thnt they had held since 1014. The
nindenhurg line was smashed at many
point. Pershing' men broke the fbe's
main line of defense west of the Meuse
and after days of bttter fighting clear
ed the Germans out of Argonne forest.
The Germnna were forced to abandon
the Chemln des Dane and to retreat
on a long tin from Laon as far east
as Argonne.
Germany sent another note to Prea
ldent Wilson on October 12, accepting
the ' latter1 14 peace principles and
urging the president to transmit It
proposal for an armistice to the alllea.
Prince Max assured the prealdent that
by reason of constitutional change
the existing German government spoke
for the people. President Wilson re
plied two day later, rejecting the Ger
man proposal, declaring that any1 arm
istice must be granted by the military
commander and most guarantee the
continued supremacy of the allied
I arma.
The answer of th allied arm lea to
the German peace proposal was to
deliver still harder blow at the retir
ing enemy. In the north the Belgian
array, led by King Albert,' cooperat
ing with the British, began to sweep
the German from the Belgian coast
On October 17 the Germans were drlv'
ea from Ostend and Bruges and the
British occupied Lille. .The whole
west front wa In motion. The allies
swept eastward through Belgium and
through the ' Industrial' region of

On November 8, Prealdent Wilson

necessity of undertaking a general re

cut off. " '
On. November 0 tbe kaiser abdicat
ed and the crown prince renounced
his claims to the throne. Tbe govern
ment of Germany passed Into the con
trol - of the social democrat and
Hcrr Ebert wa made chancellor. The
kaiser fled to Holland and was per
mitted to remain there by the Dutch
authorities. At tbe same time vari
ous other German princes abdicated
and soldiers and workmen's councils
sprang Into existence at many points,
i Germane Sign Armistice.
On November 11 the German en
voys, signed the armistice which
amounted practically to unconditional
surrender. Under the terms of tbe
armistice Germany ugreed to evacu
ate all Invaded territory and retire
behind the Rhine, the allies to follow
and hold all Important crossings of
the Rhine. Tbe Germans agreed to
surrender the greater part of their
navy and thousands of heavy guns
and airplanes, rendering them unable
to renew hostilities.
The armistice became effective at
11 a. m, Ptrls time, November 11.
Thus the great world war virtually
came to an end, although technically
it will end only with the signing of
th peace treaty.
With the cessation of hostilities
revolution spread through Germany
and Austria. Emperor- Charles of
Austria abdicated and a people's gov
ernment was set up. ' 1 ' '
Field Marshal von Hlndentrnrff re
mained tn supreme command of the
German armies and began to direct
the retirement of the German In ac
cordance with the terms of tbe armis
tice. .
Cacrylng out the termk of the armis
tice the German surrendered 71 wor
ships to the allies on November ' 21.
Conditions were" very unsettled In
Germany during the closing weeks of
the ye'ur, the socialist government ap
parently shoring power with the sol
tilers and workmen's councils. Plans
were under discussion for. the sunt'
moning of a constituent assembly to
determine the future character of the
