The men called were ready to go Just as thoeet who are In camp or In Trance were ready. The summons appealed to their finest Instincts, and they responded. The nation is as grateful to them as though they had put on a uniform. It will sym pathize with their disappointment at being ailed too late to be needed. Their release Is the first effect of tho irmlstlce upon Industry In America. Kvery smployer and every worker knows nu where he stands. Employment plans can ie mado for the immedlato futuru with the rertalnty thar they will not be upset. We can be reasonably sure, too, that the men now In the cantonments will be returned to civil life as rapidly as possible, lust how soon they will be discharged no ne knows, becauso no one knows exactly what new demands will be made upon our trmles. It Is certain, however, that we iave men enough In uniform here and on the other side of the ocean for any task which will be put upon us. The effect of the provost marshal gen eral's order upon human relations Is more Interesting than its effect on industry. The rrives and mothers of the men subject to Hill breathed a sigh of relief when they read It, for It means that their loved ones ire not to be summoned to make the great sacrifice. But their relief Is as nothing Mvtn fta .! ! It-. . t. . . .1 3 wujih iiu uiai ui wits inotners anu &rriven at thn men In TTi-iir.a n... iun "fighting has stopped.

TIME TO STOP IT TT IS about time that the police arrested ' every man firing a revolver In a street telebratlon, no matter whether It Is loaded with blank or loaded cartridges. A girl was killed on Halloween and. a boy was killed in the celebration last fhursday and another girl was shot yes terdaythree casualties within less than two weeks through the tame criminal reck lessness. There Is no excuse for shooting firearms In the streets. A noise can be made by harmless Implements. Tin horns, watch men's rattles, drums, tin pans and the like make a bigger din than a dozen pistols. They have stopped recruiting in England ilso. WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH THE HOHENZOLLERN? TIHB flight of Wllhelm and his military staff from Belgium Into Holland as soon as possible after the armistice was signed wag a confession of cowardice. Wllhelm did not dare go back to Berlin. If he had made the attempt he might not havo sue- ceeded. Revolution is rampant in the peat cities of northern Germany. It was ; morally certain that he would have been made a prisoner by his own people. - His ultimate fate, however, will not be - ieclded by the Germans alone. He and his ", party were armed when they entered Hol- land, according to tho reports. If this ? fee true, then he and they are subject to internment under the rules or international law. Just as though they were a detach- f ' went of common soldiers who had fled i. 9ross tho border for safety. When peace V, U declared they will bo free, so far as . ttA anilA.. Ih.uh,IaI 1. fcw lutca vi iiiiciiiaiiuuui ia"vv govern, tO , o where they please. ' If tho United States and the Allies wish ,l'4aat wUh Wllhelm it will not be difficult to persuade Holland to escort him to the -border as an undesirable alien. If he is stoat-ted to the Belgian border, which could t 'easily arranged, he would be lmme- "jUstfely In the power of the Allies. They '"fwtrl decide whether they wish this course rvraued or not If they choose to get him within thslr power there are many crimes i .which he could be charged. A British 'indicted him for murder after the of the Lusltanla. If he should be Red In an English court on this i there Is no doubt of.the verdict. ..-t'after all, we are Inclined to believe that he will have to go back to Berlin to iBljyiR to what the dermaii people think lat ajpteryec. Js'o greater punishment could tirlaiMotefl on him. Even though he were tsfrAaalt with as the Bolshevik! dealt with hk ar, 'to be compelled to live there I appear periodically in public as ate ,cltlzen, subjected to the scoffs of an .outraged people, would be r-fcumlllatlon to his egotistic spirit. Ur need of, hasto In agreeing on vteaw den with him. He cannot WITHOUT TRACE! So, Under the Tcrnit of Armistice, Passes the . Germany We Hae Known TTNDER tho terms of armistice pub- llshcd ycstertlny to a jubilant world, nil that was the Germany of popular Imagination has vnnlshcd utterly for ever. The old order nnd nil Its 'works and everything by which It mlRht ho remembered sink into the past, as the Germans themselves used to sny of defenseless passenger ships, "without trace." The Allies found themselves in the strange position of making war upon u Government that vanished suddenly into thin air nt tho moment of final account ing. So they proceeded systematically and relentlessly to wipe out every sign and stain and vestige which that Govern ment had left behind it upon the earth. The work was completely done. Ger many is turned back forty years and given into the state which she knew before the days of liismurck, Wilhelm, Noitzsche, Bernhardi, the Krupps nnd the Pan-Germaniacs and general devil ment. Germany is disarmed. Virtually all of her war machinery aside from artillery, all the stores and implements necessary to warfare, arc in Trance, Belgium, Alsace and Lorraine. These are seized under the terms imposed by Marshal Koch. The air fleets are to be impounded. The major part of the navy must be turned over to the conquerors. Alsuce and Lorraine unquestionably go to France. In the provision by which the fullest restitution must be made for dam ages done in invaded territory there is the piomise of retribution butter and long for the German people tnemselvcs, who now must accept the weight of re sponsibility for their barbaric Govern ment of yesterday. By the document of armistice Germany vanishes out of Africa, out of China, out of Russia and out of the adjacent States. All that the half-mad Emperor accom plished by decades of laborious intrigue, by infiltration, by costly villainous propa ganda in the outer world, all that elabo rate machinery' of Gcrmanization that at once frightened and amused the rest of mankind, is obliterated at a stroke. Germany is to be invaded. She must give over a thirty-mile strip on the right side of the Rhine to bo administered by Allied military forces pending the final settlement. She must feed her con querors when they appear peacefully upon her territory. With that cutting sentence Marshal Foch paused. There was no talk of vengeance, courts-martial and execu tions. This unexpected restraint may be explainable in various ways. Do the Allies feel at this time that they might be even less efficient as instruments of vengeance than the German people them selves? Or have they been aware of the minor notes that sounded insistently yesterday under the storms of song and triumph when the voice of submerged Germany made itself heard at last? While the victorious nations were giving themselves up to jubilation tho people were marching in Berlin. They, too, wept and sang and cheered. In the hour of pain nnd defeat and loss they were acclaiming what a few brave voices among them called their "day of vic tory!" What part of Germany it is that has found victory in loss - and defeat as great victories often have been found before we do nofknow. It remains to be seen. On their knees men have seen many a new light. So the Allies may have refrained because of tho very laws of humanity for which they fought. In this analysis it is essential to remember the utter folly of those who wished a war to annihilation. If Belgium and France are ever to receive restitution for their unforgettable wrongs there must be a stable government in Germany and there must be a people left free to work and produce wealth wherewith to pay. From this time on, whatever happens, it is necessary to think of Germany in other than the familiar terms. The old Germany is gone. The new one, what ever it may be like, will be felt as a factor of importance in Europe for good or ill. Opinions may differ about the degree of responsibility that should be charged against the German people individually. President Wilson, in his address to Congress yesterday, presented another revelation of inspiring faith when he said in effect that civilization must now help broken Geimany to her feet. The President doubtless had in mind the driven and misguided millions who compose the greater part of the German nation. It is apparent that the President does not regard Germany as merely subjugated. He sees Germany free. B. F. Kospoth, the correspondent in Switzerland for this newspaper, wrote last summer after his interview with Dr. Wilhelm Muehlon, the former Krupp director, that the German Government would vanish in a flash. Muehlon, a friend of the Kaiser before he rebelled in abhorrence against the practices of Potsdam, knew his own people. It is to be supposed, since the French always have been wiser than the Germans, that Foch knows them better. The terms of his truce make Germany unable to re sume the war. But they were not devised to break Germany's back. The truce'frees not only France, Bel gium, Alsace and Lorraine. It frees Germany. It frees Russia and China and Africa and the States close to Ger many of an intolerable menace. It is one of the great documents of all time. THE "LOST PROVINCES" RETURN TIB second clause of the armistice, pro viding for the. Immediate evacuation of Invaded countries, makes specific mention of Alsace-Lorraine. The rating ot this region as French hereby becomes authori tative. It it Koul-satlsfylngly evident that tho problem of tho "lost provinces" is" not ono for argument at tho peace table. By Germany's surrender they return to tho nation to which by tho strongest ties they unquestionably belong. It matters not what tho proportion of Gauls and Teutons in these two fair States may be. Alsace-Lorraine became spon taneously French when It espoused tho radiant cause of democracy In tho French Revolution. Trench thought dominated Its Inhabitants, French ideals were strewn on fertile soil in theso thlno lands. The superb Kellcrman, son of Strassburg, Teu-J ton In name, French in instincts and pur poses, was a flashing exemplar of this In domltablo spirit. By claims tho reverse of showj, claims that touch tho soul, Alsacc-Lorraliio In splto of alt tho forty-seven years of Hun oppression Is Trench. By the emphatic Im plication of tho armistice terms, whlcn ranks tho provinces as having been In vaded, tho long German occupation had no warrant In Justice. The forco by which the fruits of that .seizure wrre feloniously enjoyed since 1871 Is now merely nn ugly dream. Its removal now Inevitably re stores Alsace-Lorraine to the mother of Its truo culture nnd Its Ideals. , Tho Immediate transfer Is not "revanche," but logical destiny. Germany's Is now along tho line. a lnoMiiK ttory all THE UNPARALLELED JUBILEE rpilE frank translation of a long pent-up - emotion Into deeds of bheer Joy Is ono of the raiest nnd most beautiful of spec tacles. Such a scene raised to Its highest power Philadelphia witnessed yesterday. Tho magnitude of this spontaneous ex hibit of ecstasy lias had no fellow here. Cormvnllls's surrender in 1781 thrilled a patriotic town, but ono which had actually been war nnd suffered from it. Tho re sources for being spectaculatly festal here wrre not. at tho close of the Ilevolutlon, Impressively rich. Gaycty over Grant's vic tory at Appomattox was soon slckenlngly overshadowed by Lincoln's assassination. The Spanish and Mexican wars, although productive of glor and valor, were rela tively small affairs. But the peace Mrens ot yesterday which roused expectant Phlladelphlans from their couches at 3:43 a. m. wero proclama tory of a season of happiness absolutely without precedent. As the war In some way touched every one, so every ono sig nalized in the fclncercst and most individual fashion the dissipation of tho Hun night mare. Hence the prime fcatuic of the Jubllco was Its informality. Impromptu bands, brigades of "rattlers." groups of fervent dancers, fittingly suggcstlvo of rapturous Paris, now so dear to us; songsters, pro fessional and "lay"; dispensers of snowy paper cj clones, ihouters nnd flag wavers, wero blended In tho Incalculably exhilar ating medley of unclouded Joy. By com parison with this Irresistible holiday the Fourth of July, with Its rigid concomi tants of explosives and fireworks, seemed nlmost tinged with preconceived formal ism. Tho tributes paid to the Stato Houso and Liberty Bell were altogether too touching to be sullied with analysis. N'o other mundane shrine was ever more rev erently regarded. It was notlceablo that the multitudinous 1-ands which suddenly popped up out of nowhere, after having indulged In "Up the Street." "Semper Fidells," "Tho Old Gray Mare" and "Where Do We Go From Here," as far east as Seventh street, voiced only the major national hymns of the Allies In the hallowed region of the next block. Tho "Marseillaise," the "Marcia - Bealc," "America" or "God Save the King," ac cording to the taste of the listener, nlmost Invariably led the way to the climactic "Star Spangled Banner." No one after yesterday can fairly up braid us for neglect of our national an them. It rang through the gleaming sun light as a clarion of deliverance which It Is which It was more than ever on thu supreme day of redemption. We know one or two Let Them Itaye! ouiclals of the fuel ad ministration who must have groaned yesterday morning when they lay In bed and hastily calculated tho quantity of coal required to generate the steam used by tho celebrating sirens nil over tho happy country. In the years to como "Armament it will be remembered nf the Future that one of the most efficient Implements of destruction npplled In tho war for world freedom was a plain ordinary typewriting machine "A grent day ' ' said The World an enthusiastic rcs- Mude tree taurant patron to a Chestnut utrcet waiter jestcrday when the Joy was wildest. "It. sure Is," cried the man with the napkin. "We've fed at least 2000 people here this afternoon!" Who la there now who Isn't bitterly BOrry for having missed It In Trance? Wise sweethearts will learn hurriedly to talk Trench. If the town went wild yesterday what will It do when the boys como home? Weren't nil those "To Hell With the Kaiser" signs yesterday calculated to rub It a little unfairly on a population already most unhappily situated? QUERVLOUS QUERIES Translated from tho Dutch) W 'HEHE did you come from, Kaiser drear? Out of my motoicar, sped by fear. Where did you get that iron cross? Out of my Junkshop when I was boss. Why Is it battered and worn with nicks? Foch was so smart with his hammering trick's. Where did you get that tearful eye? From bidding the Slegesallee good-by. Why does your head me, so heavily greet? Because it is solidly wrought concrete s How did you come to be tamely you? Gott forsook me and I was through. But why do you dwell hero like a clam? Because this Holland is one big dam. THE ELECTRIC CHAIR Thoughts On Peace ANCE more wo know, what wo had never felt any too suro of elnco Germany In vaded Belgium, that the world wo live In Is a world that can still command tho lmy nlty nnd unflinching faith of decent men. Xo one can ever doubt again, nfter watch ing tho tcrrlblo drama ot retribution that has swept before us In the last fifteen weeks, that human affairs respond to somo tllmly understood prlnclplo of right. Be neath nil tho exultation nnd fury of our gladness there runs a deep nnd har'dly to be expressed awe. Onco more wo can face the stillness of nn evening sky, the flush of a secret dawn, without tho poign ant thought that man had proved himself unworthy of Jho fair frame of things In which he was set. It is a long and a per plexing path befoie us, but our feet arc sot upon new thresholds. IN ALL men's ungainly and quaint efforts to express their gkulncss yesterday thcro was a deep underlying diapason that mado tho sensitive heartstrings quiver. In nil Its ancient pageantry tho earth never baw more noble or sincere outburst of tho feeling that makes all mankind kin than that spontaneous'celebratlon on American streets. Every tin horn, every clanking cowbell, every handful of confetti, was the ciudo symbol of nn emotion so vivid, so thankful, so reverent that wo knew no means of uttering It. Those sirens nnd whistles, screaming skyward like Invisible banners of sound, wero as sacred and as pure as nltnr flames. And beneath their shrill soaring clamor was the deep, bcicne tone of tho Stato Houso bell, pulsing Just as tho Inner hearts of our citizens throbbed with a quiet Inward thankfulness. rpiIE Issue- of tho wnr have been ery L clear. No Llttlo Petcrkln will bo llkclj to ask In future years what it w-as all nbout. Thero cannqt even be tho cus tomarj stoiles told about tho old man fiom Buck Hill Falls or Pensero.so, West Virginia, who when told that tho war was over asked "What war?" Even that ven eiablo person must havo learned by tho rising prlco of corncob pipes that some thing was amiss. Tho problems of peace will bo far more delicate and confusing. They will require patience nnd persevcrant resolution. Those who think that our soldiers are going to be stranded "Idle" in Europe awaiting ti asportation home had better faco the situation. Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine and the Khlneland aro to bo occupied nnd policed during tho evacuation and until tho future In Germany Is secure. In Itus sla, in tho Balkans and in Turkey nnd Asia Minor there are difficult problems to bo solved. It will bo nn unusual Yank, wo think, who gets out ot khaki within a year. Therefore let homo hearts resign them selves to patience. Wo who have suffered least In tho struggle must play tho most generous role in the reconstruction. Sorry to Disappoint Japanese samurai make it n point of honor to commit sulcldo when they feel they havo reached tho plnnaclo nnd sum mit of their existence. AVo knew yester day that wo had reached tho greatest day of our life, and accordingly wo proposed to our fellow editors that they accompany us to a neighboring hostelry where excel lent hemlock Is served. We oven hinted that such nn uct of Felf-devotlon would redound magnificently to tho benefit of the newspaper profession; but they wero adamant In the resolution to continue their petty lies. Therefore wo nlso, against our better Instincts, determined to carry on for a bit. Wo did, however, get so far as to write our will, which we hope to print one of these days when tho downfall of tho Kaiser leaves us hard up for topics.

A FRENCH SHERLOCK HOLMES T)ERICAUP had a pile of detective stories on his table when 1 last called on him. There were volumes by Claborlau, Poe, Conap Doyle, Anna Kathcrmo Greene, Ar thur Reeve, Jacques Tutrelle, nnd I do not know how many others. But ho was read ing a life of Bcauniat dials, tho brilliant Paris watchmaker who wrote "The Barber of Seville" and persuaded tho Trench king to assist tho American colonics. "You seem surprised," said he, "that I should bo reading fact behind a bulwark of fiction. But you know that the really first-class detective stories are those that have actually happened. I was Just run ning over again one that Beaumarchals wrote in 177G. He upplles nil tho processes of reasoning which made Conan Doylo rich und Sherlock Holmes famous moro than a centuiy beforo Doyle thought of writing detective fiction. I never saw a prettier example of deduction from meager data than Bcaumurchnis gave la a letter to the Loudon Chroulclo on May C, 1776. Let mo read it to you and 1 think you will agree with me." He turned back a page In the open book and read tills: ."Monsieur, tho Edltoi : "I am a stranger, full of honor. If it Is not to Inform oti absolutely who I am, It Is at least to tjll you in moie than ono sens'e who I am not. "Day before jestcrday, at tho Pantheon, after tho concert and .during ,the dance, I found under my feet a lady's maiitlo of black taffeta, lined with the snine and bordered with lace. I am Ignorant to whom this mantle belongs, never having seen, even at the Pantheon her wlio wore it. ana an my Investigations since havo not enabled me to learn anything In relation to her. "I there'foro beg ou, M. the Editor, to, announce In ypur paper this lost mantle so that It may bo returned faithfully to whom ever shall reclaim It "But that there may be no error in rela tion to It, I have tho honor to nnnounco to you that the person who lost It wore a pink plume that day In her hair ; I think shu had diamond pendants In her ears, but I am not so sure ot that as 'of tho lest. She is tall and well-formed, her hair Is a silvery blondo; her complexion dazzllngly white; her neck Is fine and gracefully set; her form slender, and the prettiest little foot in tho world. I havo even remarked that she Is very young. She Is lively and distracted; her step Is light and she has a decided tasto for the dance. "If you ask me, M. the Editor, why, having noted her so well, I did not at once return tho mantle, I shall have tho honor to repeat what I said to you before, that I havo never teen this person; that I do not know either her features, or her eyes, or her costume, or her carriage, and do not know who she Is or what she Is like. "But It you Insist upon knowing how I am able to so well define her, never having seen her, I In turn will bo astonished that so exact an observer as jouldo notjenow that the simple examination of a lady's mantle Is sufficient to give of her '1 the notlonB by which she could be-recognlzed, "Now suppose. Monsieur, that on examin ing the mantle I found In tho hood some hair of a beautiful blonde attached to the stuff nlso some bits of down escaped from tho 'feathers, you will admit that a great effort of genius would not bo needed to con clude that the hair and the plume of that blonde must In every way resemble tho sain pies which have detached themselves. You feel that perfectly. And since similar hair never grew from Bkln of uncertain white ness, analogy will havo taught you, as It has taught me, that this beautiful silvery hair must have a dazzling complexion, trome thing which no observer cau dispute without dishonoring his Judgment. "It Is thus that a slightly worn spot In the taffetn on the two lateral parts of tho Interior of. thJ hood which could not havo como from anything but repeated rubbing of two small hard bodies In movement showed me that, not that she wore tho pendants on that particular day, but that she does so or dinarily! and that It Is hardly probable, be tween you and me, that she would have neg lected this adornment on a day of conquest or of grand assembly, both which are one. If I reason badly do not Jipare me, J" beg you. Blgor is not Injustice. "Th rt geMriwItUout saying, It en "'TIS DONE" ijfJ"M"SKifiSreri'y;...o5sHto i""SiiV,&" ti-'NVH!v.SE3 '"'V1 - easily be seen that it was sufficient for me to examine the ribbon whleh was attached to the mantle nt tho neck and to knot It at the place rumpled by ordinary usage to see that the space Inclosed being small, the neck dally Inclosed In that s-pare must also be fine and graceful. No difficulty there. uu,u.o UH.tiii, .iuilli:ui , II Ull t'Ailllllll- Ing tho body of the mantle you should have found upon the taffeta the Impression of n very pretty little foot, marked In gray dust, would you not havo reflected, as I did. that had an other woman stepped on the mantle since Its fall sjio would ceitalnly have de prived ine of the pleasure of picking It up? Therefore It would have been Impossible that the Impression of the shoo came from any other pel son than her who lost the mantle. It follow", you would have said that If the shoo was small the foot must be smaller still. Thero Is no merit In my having recog nized that; the most careless observer, a child, wojild have found that out. "But this Impression made in passing and even without being felt, nnnounces besides an extreme vivacity of step, a strong pre occupation of mind to which grave, cold or aged persona are llttlo susceptible. I there fore very simply concluded that my charm ing blondo Is In the flower of her age, very lively and distracted. Would you not have thought the same, M. the Editor? "The next day In recalling that I. had been able to pick-up the mantle in a place where so many people passed (which proves that It fejl at that very Instant) without having been able to see who lost It (which proves that she was already far away). 1 Fald to mys-elf, 'Assuredly this pejson is the most alert beauty of England, .Scotland nnd Ire land ; and if I do not Join America to tho rest, it Is only because they have become of late dlablement alerta In tliut country.' "Irt gl,vhig you this iiiaiijle, M. tho Editor, permit me to envelop myself In my own and that I sign myself, "L'AMATEUR TRANCA1S." TT THAT does not read in all essen - tlals llko tho conclusion of one of the Sherlock Holmes stories then I nm inca pablo of making literary comparisons," said Pericarp when he had finished. Without watting for any reply he burled himself again In the book nnd seemed to forget my existence. The Germans are now saying "Hock the Kaiser!" The demonstration in Berlin whs some thing different again. The llohenzollerns are not so high as thty used to be. The women let It bo known that they wero Interested in tho victory. They wero as numerous as men In yesterdaj's parades. Professor llasnrjk has been elected President of the Czectyo-Slovak republic, and It begins to look as If he would tako office. That i evolution In Germany .goes further than the most sanguine opponents of Junker Ism wero hoping for only a few weeks ago. That Czecho-Slovak Declaration of In dependence, adopted In the American Cradle of Liberty, means something after all. How Jolly It would bo now If thero were fairy godmothers for all the nations to'decree that they 'should "live happily ever after!" Holland has Interned the Kaiser. The Dutch need to leform their spelling. They phould have Interred Wllhelm The Republican candidate for .Governor of Alaska defeated the Democratic nominee by three votes. Pretty cloee conditions for the roomiest of our possessions. It Is a safe wager that when Marshal Toch nnd Tremler Clemenceau met yesterday morning they fell on one another's necks and kissed. And, curiously enough, the war has made us feel repeetful toward aueh?
