The hews spread through the city slowly. It had been long coming and So often postponed that the sharp edge of anticipation had been dulled. But as the evening newspapers with thelr big-type headlines carried through the city the certainty that the Germans had at last “found the doted line” to attach their formal ac- knowledgments to the statement that they had really lost the war, sounds and visible signs of joy broke out in- creasingly. In Wall Street, just about to close offices for the half holiday, the’ con- tents of waste baskets were torn to bits and cast out of windows hun- dreds of feet from the street to fut- ter past other windows and down to the pavements for an hour. Factory whistles east and west of Broadway joined one by one in a hoarse chorus that drowned out the ordinary shrill undertone of the ‘city.

It liberates great peoples who have never before been able to find the way to liberty. It ends, once for all, an old and intolerable order under which smal! groups of selfish men could use the people of great empires to serve their own ambitions for power and dominion. “It associates the free governments of the world in a permanent | league in which they are pledged to use their united power to maintain peace by maintaining right and justice, “It makes international law a reality, supported by imperative sanctions, It does away with the right of conquest-and rejects the policy of annexation and substitutes a new order, under which back- ward nations—populations which have not yet come to political con- sciousness and peoples who are ready for independence but not yet quite prepared to dispense with protection and guidance—shall no more be subjected tq the domination and exploitation of a stronger nation, but shall be put under the friendly direction and afforded tho” Acted Within Her Authority.
