Plans for a new world order will pro- gress all right until somebody gets the idea that peace might cost something.

At least one city council and one Griniitial'court promptly adjourned in cele- bration, only te discover that the reports The incidents remind us of the pre- mature peace story that surprised the United States in 1918. Coming from a major news service, the information was widely accepted and§there was something of a general celebration throughout the natior. Subsequently, the error was dis: covered, and not long afterward, the armis- | tice was officially signed by the Germani| representatives. It may be that history will repeat it- | self in 1945. The rivalry of broadcasting | stations and press associations to get the news first may result in another erroneous “flash” from Londor or Paris. The public, however, can atfgrd to wait for an official announcement before beginning to cele- brate, t \ “Ss "Bhose who try, t9 get something for nothing usually get it, vice versa.
