President Wilson Delivering Historic War Message. On Monday, April 2, 1917, before the Sixty-fifth Congress in joint session, President Wilson delivered his memorable address in which he declared unequivocally for war with Germany. Congress had spent the day in the organization. It was 8:32 at night when the President appeared before a solemn assemblage that crowded the Hall of Representatives and included, besides the members of Congress, the Supreme Court members, the Cabinet, and almost the entire Diplomatic Corps. The tumultuous scene which the artist's pencil has caught came when it became a certainty that the President's decision, which had been carefully guarded, was for war. When the President stated: "There is one choice we cannot make—we are incapable of making. We will not choose the path of submission," Chief Justice White raised both hands above his head and brought them together with a resounding blow. Instantly Senators, Representatives, and even dignified Supreme Court members were on their feet, waving small flags and wildly cheering. Two days later, the Senate passed the war resolution, and the House of Representatives concurred on April 6. Drawing by Victor Perard © Mid-Week Pictorial.

The most momentous event of the year 1918 was the signing of the armistice between the Allies and Germany on Nov. 11, which, while it did not formally end the war, virtually accomplished that result since it made the resumption of hostilities by Germany impossible. The negotiations took place in the railroad car in the Forest of Compiegne, where Marshal Foch had his headquarters. The German delegates reached the spot after a long automobile journey that was made to include the districts where there had been wanton devastation by the German armies, whether by accident or design. The discussion lasted for three days, during which time the German envoys had their sleeping and dining quarters in the train, shown on the right of the picture above. The Germans and Allied Forces made only minor modifications in the terms, and after the armistice was signed, Marshal Foch proceeded to Paris.

While the territory that Germany loses in Europe is by far of the most significant importance, a vastly larger area measured by square miles is lost to her formerly colonial empire. The islands in the South Seas represent 95,560 square miles and a population of 600,000. The Australians and Japanese will henceforth administer these. In Africa, the League of Nations' mandataries controls Togoland, 33,000 square miles; Kamerun, 191,130; Southwest Africa, 322,450; and East Africa, 384,180, aggregating 931,460 square miles. In China, Kiao-Chau and the Shantung Peninsula, from which the Allied Forces ejected the Germans in 1914, were ceded to Japan, which has bound itself at some unspecified date to return them to Chinese sovereignty. Germany had been building her colonial empire for many years and vigorously protested against their loss in the peace discussions.
