Twelve PEACE WILL HOT HALT WAR CHEST Even if Fighting Ends War Fund Work Must be Carried On The immediate prospect of peace and the factjthat it may come any minute is not'eausing any letting up in the preparations of the War Chest Council for the campaign for Berks county's quota of $750,000, to begin next Monday. The cessation of the shooting, they say. Is only the first step toward peace. There are many other steps to be taken. Peace conditions are still far away.

All that it is our duty to help and cheer and encourage now will need that help for a long time to come. Even after the unconditional surrender of Germany It may take two years before "the peace terms can finally be signed to the satisfaction of ajl the nations concerned. It will take months to demobilize the armies, even the German armies, while, the evacuation of territories is a slow and tedious process. Practically everybody agrees that with the fighting ended, the occupation of our soldiers will become a rather dull routine and partake of the nature of drudgery and that it will be harder to keep them in contentment than when they were keyed up by the incentive to fight and win. Besides that, it is certain that when the barriers of war are down there will be disclosed such an appalling situation among the peoples in the devastated and war torn terJ rityies that will appeafto the sympathies1 of the whole world, and it will fall upon the organizations included in the War Chest to undertake this work.

There will be in particular great demands upon the Red Cross organization which is already working among some of these people who can now be reached. On the whole, well informed observers believe that the greatest work of charity and relief ever presented to the world must be undertaken. The War Chest Council is of the 'opinion that instead of any letting up there should be renewed interest in all of these matters and that the public in the thankfulness of its heart for victory should use this occasion to pour out a great Victory offering, and should oversubscribe this campaign sufficiently to make it possibly the last one with the exception of another or perhaps two more Liberty Loans.

M. One hundred days ago the Germans were thirty five miles from Paris. Today they are begging peace. The conviction is universal that whether the German delegation signs articles of capitulation or not, Germany is beaten. The allied advance, particularly the exploit of the Americans in capturing Sedan, shows clearly that continuation of hostilities by Germany can lead only to a military debacle in the near future.

Thi feeling is confirmed by news received from reliable that Germany's internal affairs are drifting toward chaos. Last night the people crowded the newspaper bulletin boards until a late hour, undiecouraged by the rain. When the news of Sedan was flashed there was an outburst of cheers. Joy and enthusiasm increased as yesterday waned. Groups sang the Marseillaise, the Sambre et Meuse and other patriotic songs.

Cafes were thronged. Champagne sparkled in glasses. The people drank to eternal France, the regained provinces, to the allies, to Premier Clemenceau and Marshal Foch. ITALIANS ENTER ZARA ROME, Nov. 8 Triesf despatches announce that Italian warships hae entered the port of Zara.
