Hed Cloud citizens were aroused at an early hour Monday morning by
continuous blowing of whistles at the power house and r.iilrond station, de
noting that Germany had signed the armistice.
"Germany has surrendered."
Comprehension of what this means is almost impossible.
The finite mind finds difficulty in grasping the import of this message
and pen fails to give adequate record of its magnitude.
Time has grown from weeks into months from months into years, tilled
with harrowing messages from a cannoumlcd country. A country black
with smoke, red with blood, where danger lurked 'nenth every bush and
Death stalked rampant o'er the plains.
It is hard to realize that the cannon mar is silenrid, that the smoke
has rolled away, that blood has ceased to Hou, that dangers are oercome and
the shadow of war-death is hanNhcd.
It requires elTort to sejise the fact that desperate warfare has ended
in glorious idory.
We here at home, who have not seen the carnage, who have not faced the
flying bullets, who have not dared dentil In the struggle lor liberty, can never
know what in its full import this mesbage means to the heroes who hae.
We have waited and listened, aidingr'as we might; they have struggled
through hell urn! ventured to the very gateways of heat en demanding vie
torious peace. 'J
We have labored and desired; they hne fought and achieved.
God metes success to those who battle lor a rightous cause.
France cast bread upon the waters and alter almost a century and a half
it returns to her many fold, America has paid her debt. A brotherhood
of nations grows, to live as long a. time. ,
Itul Cloud celebrates, todaj, with a gnat feast lice to all who come.
The passing hours are given oer to addressed, music and unstinted re
joicing. There ure rings to the right of us, fugs to the It'll of us, (lagi o'er
our heads floating Iree to the breeze. '
We celebrate the dawn of a new era.$

Of the more than 2,000,
000 people who have at
tended the Edison Tone
Tests not one has been
able to distinguish be
tween the voice of the
Artist and that of the
instrument.
That's pretty convincing
t vidence, isn't it? Tr tty
xound proof of our csser
tion that the New Edison
does actually Re-Crcato
hi all its pristine splendor
the voice of the Hvinil ar
tist. Thirty groat stars have
appeared in these tests,
have ' sung in direct com
parison with the instrument
and have challenged the
audience to detect any
difference between the two
renditions. Of the more
than 12.000.000 listeners not
one could distinguish when
the singer's voice ceased
and the instrument con
tinued alone.
There is but ono instru
ment whichvhas ever been
subjected to this searching
ordeal. There is but one
which canv.successfully
meet it. An(p that is the
instrument ol! musics Re-Creation.
