(By The Associated Press).
The greatest war in history ended this morning at 6 o’clock, Washington time.
Announcement ate this tremendous fact was made at the State Department at
the capitol at 2:45 o’clock this morning, and in a few seconds was ii hed th h t

Details of the terms dictated by Marshal Foch on Friday forenoon to the Ger
man armistice delegates have not as
such a nature as to protect the world
from a resumption of the struggle by the Ger-
render of part of her fleet and the dismantlingof the rest and the evacuation of occu-
pied portions of France and Belgium and of Alsace-Lorraine. it is probable, also,
that Germany has agreed to call home all her troops in Russia and Rumania.
The terse announcement of the State Department did not tell anything of the
stated, however, that at 5 o'clock a. m., Paris time, the signatures of German ’s dele-
gates were atfigred to the documents which blasted forever the dreams which cymbroil-
ed the world inhmtrnggle which has cost, at the very lowest estimate, ten million men.

. While the curtain was rolling down on the most stupendous
kind’s history, events were moving with terrible swiftness

last week raised the red flag at Kiel. Germany’s navy apparently is scattefljnto dis-

As the last hours of the mighty combat drew near, French, British, Belgian
