taken on new sig

It is well, on this solemn occasion, to recall how the first Armistice Day bcfell, and what the terms and conditions were which thc enemy at first accepted, and subsequently repudiated,

The German navy had mtitinied and the German army was crumbling. Revolution broke out at home. The Kaiser fled to Hollland and the German republic was formed. On Novem- ber 6, 1918, German delegates left Berlin to treat for an armistice. They were received in General Foclfs railway carriage in the forest of Corripiegrie. Foch would not enter into any negotiations. If the Germans itvanted to stop here were his terms. \Vith revolution at hotne and the athering menace on their very front- ier, the German delegates had no option but to accept Foch’s specific terms. The armistice was thereupon signed at 5 a. m. 0n November 11 and at 11 o'clock that morning the World \\':ir came to an end.

The innin conditions of the armistice were: Cessation of operations six hours from signa- ture. Evacuation within 15 days of Belgium, France, Alsace-Lorraine and Luxt-niburg by all German forces. Repatriation of all prison- ers and civilians taken by the Germans. Sur- render by them of 2,500 heavy and 2,500 field guns, 25,000 machine guns, 3,000 mine throw- ers and 1,700 airplanes, including all night- bomoing machines. Evacuation by the Ger- mans and occupation by the Allies of all Ger- man territory west of the Rhine, with, in addi- tion, bridgeheeda of a 2o miles radius on the east bank of the Rhine at Cologne, Coblcnr and Mainz, so which other bridgcheads at Kehl (opposite Strasbourg) and Mannheim were afterwards added. Surrender of 5,000 engines, 150,000 wagons and 5,000 motor lorries. Re- paratimi for damage done to be paid, "all future claims and demands of the Allies remaining un- affected." All submarines to be surrendered. Six battle cruisers, i0 battleships, 8 light cruis- ers and 50 destroyers to be interned under Allied surveillance, and all other German warships to be disarmed. The blockade to continue till definite peace was assured; German niiiie- fields to be removed; all naval aircraft to be immobilized. All territory outside Germany to be evacuated.

The duration of the armistice was repeat- edly extended till the peace of Versailles was signed (June 28, 1919). On Nov. 2i, i913, the German surface ships arrived at Rosyth, Scotland, for internment, but nearly all these ships were sunk at the main British naval base, Scapa, by their crews on June 2i. I919. M051 of them have been salvaged in recent years and broken up for scrap.

The Armistice was followed by the Peace confgrcncg at Versailles and the establish- ment of the League of Nations. Little use rc- viewing the sorry history of the intervening years, culminating in the policies of pacifism and appeasement which the dcnioeuicies ftil- lowed to the very verge of disaster. Only as we profit by the lesson of thou years, and in- lure against their mistalces, can we honestly hope and pray that the sacrifices of our hci-tnc dead will not again have been in vain.

I The Montreal Gazelle finds in the Dum- barton Oaks conference and what was acconi- plished there an ironic commentary upon all the tremendous agitation set up in this country when Lord Halifax, at the beginning of the year, proposed a closer association of the nat- ions of the British Commonwealth and Mr. Mackenzie King immediately replied that Can- ada could have nothing to do with such an idea.

Then, later on, at the conference of Prime Ministers in London, Mr. King still persisted that it was not practical politics for the Com- monwealth to set up machinery which would enable it to speak with a single voice in inter- national affairs.

Mr. King's arrgument, whatever his true reason, was that a unitary British Comnion-
