Resumption of Fighting by Germany

j Practically Impossible.
WASHINGTON, D. C. — After
| reading the terms of the armistice
| between the Allies and Germany,
j President Wilson told Congress that
| it would be impossible for Germany
! to renew hostilities, having accepted

“We, Americans,” he said, “enter
ed the war at a critical juncture in
such fashion and with such force
as to contribute help in a manner
of which we are all justly proud.
“Armel imperialism is now forever
at an end and its illicit ambitions
are engulfed in black disaster. The
peace that will come will be far
more lasting (han the selfish com
petitive interests of powerful states.
“The aims of the Allies, he said,
; was to protect the weak, and they
i alsp hope to feed the hungry of the
I Central Powers. America must hold
! up the light for the people now
i coming oijt of the darkness of the
I yoke of arbitrary governments.”
