The War is Over Germany has quit.; The war is history. Into oblivion retires the most hated and dedested man of the twentieth century. Called to assume the reigns of government when his country was entering upon an era of prosperity and happiness, this man of deranged mind and dwarfed soul today leaves it the scene of wretchedness and desolation. ' V: , , Inexorable justice which singles out the evildoer and makes him pay the full penalty for his transgressions has again proved that it, cannot fee mocked. The kaiser has abdicated. But he can never restore the damage perpetrated by his soldiers nor regain the respect of the world. He is' execrated and condemned. His name is associated with everything that, is vile and contemptible, s

IAPTURE OF SEDAN

MAY BE FINAL CHAPTER WIITTEN BY

View of Sedan. ,The drive of the Americans and allied forces against the Huns has proceeded unabated while the peace conference is on. The capture of Sedan, on the Meuse river, by the doughboys may be the final big chapter written In the world war by American fighters. It was In Sedan whee Napoleon III surrendered to the king of Prussia and the province of Lorraine was established and placed under Prussian domination. Since that time the populace of Sedan bas lived under German rule, loathing everything German and hoping for freedom some day. The Americans brought it to them. Sedan lies sixty-four miles northeast of Rheims and contains an arsenal, several great magazines and large quantities of other military supplies.

Community Singing - "Let the Nations Sing." May this be our slogan for the present crisis and for all time to come. It Is true that we are not responsible for our whole nation, but we are very much responsible for a small part of it "our community." It comes to us dally that music is the vital need of the nation at this time ami" we are given this opportunity to add our humble share to be of assistance to our government. Surely we should give as much of ourselves as Is physically possible in order to show our appreciation for the privilege. Probably few realized the value cf music until the present war and now It Is actually computed in dollars and cents. It is no longer considered a luxury or a diversion, but an absolute necessity. In order to meet this necessity many organizations are being formed. Probably the first to be considered is that which provides music for the soldiers in the camps, trenches, hos pitals. It la surprising to know how

well this has been worked out in so;D fense Tbe underlying purpose is V. , tlntu o n.l tnn yt nr mnei'l'irial.'.. . . .... . .

a divisional band, and there are hundreds of phonographs and pianos in constant use in the improvised Y. M. C. A.'s and hospitals. The nurses and doctors assert that music is doing as much and often more than the medicine that they administer. This is particularly applicable to an interesting department established in all hospitals, devoted to soldiers suffering from shell shock. The men frequently come back to the hospitals with their minds perfect blanks, and although there are a number of methods used to bring back reason, music has been pronounced the most successful. One captain said that it is practically an established rule that twenty-four hours before a comtemplated attack, a "great concert ia held for the participants M':lc seems to be the thing most needed and desired by the sol

diers. Both abroad ana in tms country they like to sing and play it and where the soldiers are still In camp they have the habit of coming together at certain hours each day to sing familiar songs The singing of these songs fill a man's soul with memories of homo and the things dearest to him, which cannot help but put a definite purpose in this thoughts and a high resolye in his heart. A number of concert parties have been formed at the front, and soldiers have been known to come straight from the trenches to these miniature concerts. Surely it is a remarkable thing to realize that the power of music, in the midst of war, means more to men than physical comforts. .

WHERE PIUSSIA ONCE TRIUMPHED

4 M2b Urged in America - But is it the men at the front alone who need cheer at this time? Almost harder to bear is the part of the stay at heme. All the men, women and children cannot enter the trenches, but those who are left at home can join the army to promote cheerfulness and patriotism through community singing. By community music we mean music of the people, for the people and by the people. How much it helps one who cares for music at all, to pour out his joys or sorrows in song; and more at this time than ever before are the feelings of the people in common. People are seeking companienship and a means of getting together for comfort. For this reason the Lierty choruses are being organized in every community and city In this country and for the first time the art of music has gained the official recognition of the United States government. The details of the plan are being operated by the Council of National to stimulate patriotism and acquaint every person with the patriotic songs of the United States and Allies. It Js hoped by this method to build up . ... . ... . ana maintain a civilian win tne war spirit. It has been true that singing has helped the soldiers in their struggles and that a singing army cannot be defeated, and the Council of National Defense says likewise, "A singing nation cannot be defeated." "Music" is the slogan in the National Capitol. Music will win the war, our song leaders proclaim. "A song a day" is the watchword of Secretary of the Interior Lane. "Music makes for unity and efficiency," announces Sergeant Harold Keats of the War Camp Community Service. "Music Is the essential for the morale of our fighting forces," says Lee Hammer of the Commission on Training Camp Activities. "Music is a necessity of education," pronounces Philander P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education. "Let us sing our way to vic tory," is the Inspiration of the Liberty Chorus being fostered by the Council of National Defense, and so is music in all its phases forming the essential element of the life of this nation. Thomas Edison said recently, "The man who disparages music as a luxury and non-essential Is doing the nation an injury." We believe that there Is no better way to express patriotism than through music. It concentrates our inspiration and faith and crystalizes our fighting spirit. Then our part is to encourage, support and In every way "carry on" this patriotic art Popular Music. Some selections that might be used: "Smile, Smile, Smile." "On the Banks of the Wabash." i

It is a pleasure to note that contemporaneously with his abdication is the report of a popular uprising in Berlin and the promise of a People's Government, perhaps, even a republic. This indicates that at least a few Germans have sense enough to see that the only kind of reform possible in their country is a fundamental change in their form of government.

Flescber. an American soldier of Jewish returned to Springfield, Mass., the from France. He had been a general

favorite with the boys and was known as "Abie." He had lost an eye and an arm while gallantly doing his best at Apremont Wood, and bis fighting days were over. The occupation he formerly pursued also was closed to him by his disabilities, and he was uncertain what he would do. His former friends rose to the occasion and expressed their gratitude and their admiration In a practical manner. The Jewish residents of Springfield got together and bought JTor "Able" a stock of merchandise, placed it In a store, paid a month's rent and passed the key over (o him. So the returned soldier walks into a business without owing a cent, and he may be trusted to do the rest. A man with the mercantile instinct does not neces

sarily need arms or both legs to make good, though these appendages are convenient to have. But "Abie" will make a success of the business without his lost arm and his lost eye. ' His good humor and his record will bring him customers, and he will know how to retain them.

Col. E. M. House. As President Wilson's personal representative and the civilian represen tative of the United States at the peace conference at Versailles, Col. E. M. House Is the most conspicuous figure in the diplomatic world at this time. Diplomats of all the allied nations confer individually and in groups with House in moments outside of the round-table sessions of the conference to get the views of Wilson on matters of grave importance to the entire world, The cables are kept busy carrying code messages' between House and Wilson. The minute fighting ceases General Pershing will have done his part and will have done it well. Then the eyes of the U. S. will be undividedly on House. Colonel House has never been a candidate for office, although he has been active in Democratic politics for a number of years. He has been the president's special representative to Europe for the past four years. Colonel House is a graduate of Cornell and although Houston, Tex., was his birthplace, he received his early education in New England. He celebrated his sixtieth birthday this year.

Red Cross Urged Not to Relax Efforts WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Relaxation of effort by American Red Cross chapters should not be permitted "until peace is really here," said a message sent today by the War Council to each of the 3,857 local organizations. "But even with peace," said the message, "let no one suppose that the work of the Red Cross is finished. Millions of American boys are still under arms. Thousands of them are sick and wounded, while owing to the shortage in shipping it may take a year or more to bring our boys home from France. "The cessation of war will reveal a picture of misery such as the world has never seen before, especially in many countries which cannot help themselves. The American people will expect the Red Cross to continue to act as their agent in repairing broken spirits and broken bodies. "Our spirits must now rise up to show that not the rear of cannon or the blood of our own alone direct our activities, but that a great people will continue to respond greatly and freely to its obligations and opportunity to serve."
