The Week

November 16, 1918 issue

This article discusses international affairs. It was a noble spirited, well-phrased, and a restrained utterance which the President made to U.S. Congress in informing it of the end of war and of the drastic terms of the armistice-drastic enough to take the wind out of the sails of the unconditional-surrender shouters, howling for a march to Berlin. Now that real revolution is threatening or under way in Austria-Hungary and Germany, conservatives have suddenly become alarmed at a process which is the inevitable result of the war one has been witnessing.
