lOXDAY, XOVEIBEU 11, 1913.

LAKE COUNTY HAS GONE WILD Lake county cities went wild today. They signalized the victory of the Allies over the archenemy-German with a jubilee. Siren whistles screamed and bells rang all day long. With colors flying the streets were, a mass of celebrators. Its like cannot be described. The celebration took the place of all the celebrations that have been missed since the country was at war. For eighteen months the people have been having lightless night, meatless meals, coalless furnaces, boyless homes, wheatless bread, split egg sandwiches, baconless breakfasts, Halloweens minus the festivities, New Year eves without the usual cafe demonstrations, and for four weeks, practically nothing, not even picture shows or poolrooms. It was a pent-up outburst, not so much a paean of victory as a soul thanksgiving. WASHINGTON OFFCIALLY ANNOUNCES IT . Br - Unites. , . ...

The contents will be taken to the internment camp whither the kaiser will be sent. The ex-emperor is wearing a uniform and cap, not the helmet which he is wont to wear. He paced up and down the station platform, cheerfully chatting with a German staff officer and smoking many cigarets. Soon-another tratn -carrying staff -officers and supplies arrived. Great crowds surrounded the station curiously watching the proceedings. Kodaks are clicking in merry rivalry. As the kaiser left Belgium a crowd of Belgian civilian saw him off, shout ing "Bon oyag a Paris!"

Nation Centrales Willi a Miles HeYer Before Equalled In Coiiiiirj's History, By ROBERT J. BENDER (United Press Staff Correspondent.) "WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. At six o'clock this morning, eastern time, the greatest war in history came to ;-n end. The state department officially announced early today that Ger man plenipotentiaries sigued the U- S.-Allied armistice terms at , Foch's headquarters at 5 o'clock this morning and that hostilities ceased at 11 o'clock both French time. While an armistice merely halts war and does not end it, the terms laid down by Foch are such as to prevent Germany from . renewing hostilities. The war, therefore, may be regarded as definitely over. There remains now the greatest proil?ms of th; peace conference and tho gigantic work of returning the ftrhters to their homeland. As to . the first Geneva and Brussels are mentioned as the most likely meeting places. As to the latter the g-oneral staff already has completed its plans for demobilization. Throughout the nation today celebrations1 were held. President Wilson, aroused from his bed at an early hour, was told the news and prepared a statement for the country. The White House was deluged with telegrams of congratulation. At the close of the unprecedented strife Germany 6tood alone before the wrath of twenty-two civilized nations. These twenty-two were in arms, five others had severed diplomatic relations with her government and two ethers. Russia and Roumania she had imbittcrsd by enforcement of a vicious peace. Her enemies -had called to the colors over twenty-three million men during tho conflict, determined to crush for ever the power that had upset the peace of the world. Her allies, Bulgaria. Turkey and Austria-Hungary had loft her when her strength began to weaken end i finally her own people seeing at last the ! disaster their treacherous emperor and t war lords had brought upoti the.m over- ! threw his reign and he has fled the ; country. j in these events of the four years of ly.ar twenty-four great nations particij pated in the fighting with over thirtyt iConMnued tn page five.
