to the defeated Germanse for their in evitatile accepta nce. The exultant spirit
of last night, therefore, was far more
than an intelligent antcipation of
f'vente. No more fitting end to the war I
could have been devised than America's
united ralae fortvictory keeping time
to th4 passage of the German armist ice
delegation to the meeting point for sur rende'. It was a unique demonstration
of sound instinct which caused the po
pie of the United States to hold fast to
their celebration once it had started.
There is now no question but that
Germany must do the full bidding of
the world's democratic armies and agree,
to the demands which Marshal och has: prey t e4 to the representatives of the
r+, t military po er in history.

victory were resounding throughout the
American continent. The United States
thus was first among the world's tie mocracies to celebrate democracy's over throw of medieval autocracy. History
will fix upon November 7, when German
plenipotentiaries aproached Marshal
Foch's headquarters as the real date of
democracy's triumph.
Perkins Succeeds~
Kellaher as Soon
As He Is Qualified
Dan Kellaher will be out of office as
city commissioner as soon as his suc cessor qualifies. This will occur upon'
the completion of the official count of
the ballots cast in Tuesday's election.
said City Attorney W. P. LaRoche in an
informal opinion this morning.
Mr. Kellaher will be succeeded imme- diately by Dr. T. L. Perkins, who was
elected for the term which expires next
June, when S. C. Pier- will succeed Dr.
Perkins as commissioner for the four year term. Mr. Kellaher wasappointed
- to fill the vacancy created on the city
commission when George L. Baker,
former commissioner-'of public affairs,
was elected mayor. He had, however,
been a candidate at the election in ques tion and was high man in number of
votes received among the defeated candi dates.
