OWI Director Elmer Davis was among those at the war from its beginning, more than 5 years and 8 months ago, flashed the first news from the allied side of the German capitulation. "Germany surrendered unconditionally to the western allies and Russia at 2:41 p. French time, Monday," said Kennedy's dispatch from Reims, giving a detailed account of the surrender which took place there. "The surrender took place at a little red school house which is the headquarters of Gen.

Eisenhower." The surrender which brought the war in Europe to a formal end after 5 years, 8 months and 6 days of bloodshed and destruction was signed for Germany by Col. Gen. Gustav-Jodl. V-E Day announcement would come in simultaneous statements by Mr. Truman, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin from their respective capitals.

Concerning new peace reports from abroad, Daniels confined himself to the statement that "the fact is that there is no official announcement at the white house at this moment." Daniels was unresponsive to reports that the official and went directly to his office. Newsmen have been staffing the white house around the clock for a week, jammed the big oval reception room.

(AN EDITORIAL) So far as the San Francisco conference is concerned, the German surrender comes at the most propitious moment imaginable for favorably in- luencing the all-important deliberations. Jodl is the new chief of staff of the German army.

It was signed for the supreme allied command by Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, chief of staff for Gen. Eisenhower. It was also signed by Gen.

Ivan Suslopar-off for Russia and by Gen. Francois Sevez for France. 1 Gen. Eisenhower was not present at the signing, but immediately afterward Jodl and his fellow delegate. Gen.

Adm. Hans Georg Friedeburg were received by the supreme commander. They were asked sternly if they understood the surrender terms imposed upon Ger- cept perhaps for mopping up operations which can't be gauged accurately in advance. But there's plenty of tough fighting ahead in the Pacific, in Asia and in Japan. More casualty lists will be coming in; more American boys will be dying.

So long as our lads go on dying on the field of battle, it's wrong to assume that the war is over. There's a danger that America and her allies will let down. That's a real danger one that can be met only through the exercise of sober realism. In the 7th war bond campaign soon to get under way, there will be revealing reflection of whether Americans on the homefront are worthy of the lads who have brought victory in Europe. GERMANY'S UNCONDITIONAL surrender is just about the greatest item of news that the freedom-loving nations of the world could We say "just about" because we're thinking of the uncompleted war job that lies ahead.

And we're thinking of that conference now under way in San Francisco a meeting which will go a long way toward determining whether there's to be another war for our children or our children's children. Our own joy is of a profound but subdued character. The happy news is more conducive of sober satisfaction and prayer than of shouting and hat-throwing. The war in Europe, which has been No. 1 in the American timetable of strategy, is at an end, ex The conference is its beginning stages.

Only preliminary decisions have been reached. The broad principles laid down at Dumbarton Oaks remain to be implemented by specific rules and machinery. As the delegates survey the devastation wrought by 2 gangster nations led by fanatical warlords, there should be complete willingness to make minor differences secondary to the one most momentous issue ever to face the world, namely, that IT SHALL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN..
