BRITISH PRESS, NOV. 12, 1918.
When the last shot was fired yesterday the Allies and Americans held a
front of 300 miles. The last decisive scenes of the struggle just over were the
historic battle grounds in France and Flanders. In their final marches British
troops captured Malplaquet. The Canadians in the last hours of fighting carried us back to Mons and the earliest memories of the war while the French
and Americans had reached Sedan. Germany appears in the throes of revolution. Berlin is wholly in control of a Workmen's and Soldier's Council and
Saxony, Hesse, Baden and Oldenburg are now added to the states where democratic government has been set up.
President Wilson yesterday addressed the following message to the people
of America: " The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which
America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to
assist by examples, by sober friendly counsel and by material aid in the establishment of a just democracy throughout the world."
By command of Brigadier General MacArthur:

Chief of Staff.
