Rumors of the cessation of hostili- | ties and immediate peace are flying | abopt thick and fast. As these lines | are written, the only positive news recelved from unquestionable sources stated marely that the German armis- | tice representatives had arrived at the western front and had been per- mitted to enter the lines of the Al- lies under a flag of truce. This in- formation was supplemented by a | statement from London expressing the belief that actual fighting will cease within a few days. Such are the facts at hand. There | can be no doubt that Germany is at the end of her resources. Interior conditions are upset by revolutions and mutiny‘in the navy is reported to have occurred. The German armies face overwhelming disaster in the st where they are being surround- ed by the gallant men under Marshal Foch. The end of hostilities, accord- ing to authentic sources of informia- tion, is a matter of a few days. If Germany signs the armistice, con- | ferences and peace negotiatione will commence fortwith, but they will last | over the best part of a year. In the | take all meantime, the Allles will necessary measures of precaution to proteot their interests. We may awatt developments with supreme oonfldence. THE NEXT CONGRESS.

It may be that weeks will expire before the actual results are known beyond a doubt, In the meantime the work of winning the war goes mer- elly on. MOMENTOUS DAYS. People cannot be blamed for be- coming excited in these momentous | times, It is only natural that after months of suspense they should give vent to their feelings upon receipt of news of continuoug victeries and the probable cessation of within a few days, oe possibly a few hours, Especiaily these whe given their loved ones to the service have of the country are apt te enthuse over the though out of denger, that they will soon’be All of which is but a cast by Vice | Presidont Marshall, who 18 president | makers are taking a day off—until | of our lost colonics?" of | hostilities | porary: 1t occurs to shining Sun that these soldie “‘achleved man's estate before they quit civillan life,” that they are doing man’s work now and that “‘to refer to them as if they were college undergraduates or pupils in a High s¢hool betokens a cloudy comprehension of their status, physically, mentally and socially.” We hope Secretary Baker will accept this rebuke in a becoming spirit and see the crror of his way He has, with the thought- lesness of his official company, placed himself on a level with the mere mothérs, fathers and sweethearts of the land, all pra ing and yearning for their “boy over thers on a level with the nation itself, which a couple of generations ago became pre- sumptuously foolish over its “boys in blue”, some of them gray-headed, who were engaged in what many people took to be the men’s task of keeping the country whole. Most persons have been willing to admit a plea of fond sentimen- tality in this conscienceless mis- use of a household word. When most people get to be as old and as meticulously wise as the Sun they will know better. And we the indignant believe that, despite the Sun’s apparent horror at the employ- ment of the homely phrase, the lads in khaki will continue to be called “bovs 1t hecause they understand that comes from the heart.
