Show AMERICA ACHIEVES ALL WAR OBJECTS IN TERMS IMPOSED ON GERMANY Duty of Country Now to Aid in "Establishing Just Democracy, Throughout World, President Wilson Declares. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Sign-. Sign-. ing of the armistice with Germany Ger-many was proclaimed today by President Wilson, who also anno an-no unced its terms at a joint session of congress. The terms herald the- end of the war because they take from Germany the power to renew it. Just before he went to the eapitol, the president, in a proclamation addressed ad-dressed to his fellow countrymen, said: ''The armistice was signed this morning. morn-ing. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist, by example, by sober, friendly counsel and by material aid, in the establishment establish-ment of just democracy throughout the world. ' ' Stripped of its malicious power, the military autocracy, its masters driven to exile, stands before the world's court of justice, having subscribed to terms of surrender' which probablj- will be recorded in history as the most drastic and complete ever measured out to a defeated foe. Destruction of Military Caste. Reading of the full text of the terms discloses measures the United States and the allied governments have taken to guarantee that Germany 's acceptance shall not be a scrap of paper, and to insure in-sure the destruction of the military caste which once couTd secretly and of its single choice disturb the peaco of the world. When President Wilson concluded his exchange of notes with Prince Maximilian, Maxi-milian, then chancellor, administration officials declared that if his course did not bring about what they hoped would be more than an unconditional surrender, surren-der, it might bring about a revolution in Germany. Pointing today to the Tlohenzollern dynasty, dethroned and exiled, the people's peo-ple's revolution sweeping Germany, and the terms of the armistice, these officials of-ficials felt their predictions amply fulfilled. ful-filled. Having lifted the yoke of militarism from the peoples of the central empires, the allies now turn ti tasks of humanity and mercy to bind up their wounds and feed the hungry, meanwhile seeking to guide them to a place in t lie family of nations from which they can take a part in assuring that another such 1500 days of blood and horror need never come again. Evacuation, reparation anil restitution are the keynotes of the armistice. Here are the principal things Germany Ger-many must dOj or, powerless before the victorious allied armies, will have done for her: Immediate evacuation of Alsace-Lorraine, Belgium, Luxemburg, Russia and .Rumania, without further destruction or harm to inhabitants. Then, occupation by American and allied troops of all the countries on the west bank of tne Rhine. Occupy Principal Rhine Crossings. Then, further, creation of a neutral zone in a strip of territory to the cast bank of the Rhine, thirty kilometers ' (about twenty miles) wide, extending from Holland Jialf way down to the Swiss border, and twenty kilometers wide for the remainder, i Meanwhile, as a guarantee of good j faith, the occupation by American and allied troops of Mayenee, Coblenz and Cologne, the principal crossings of the Rhine, with a thirty kilometer radius about the bridgeheads. On the eastern front all German ! troops are to be withdrawn front territory terri-tory which before the war belonged to Russia, Rumania or Turkey. Then, the German war machine must disarm.

The provision for compensating the j occupied territories for the havoe wrought by the invaders is contained in a simple sentence reparation for damage done.

In a word, the iron ring is tightening, and at her borders the civilized world waits while Germany reforms herself from within.
