THANKSGIVING FOR PEACE.
SCENE IN THE COMMONS.
OCCASION OF SOLEMN JOY. (Received 1.30 a.m.) Router. LONDON. Nor. 12. After reading the terms of the armistice in the House of Commons, Mr. Lloyd George said:— "Thus comes an end to the most terrible and the most cruel war which has ever scourged mankind. I hope I may say that on this fateful morning lias come the and of all warß. This is DO time for words. Hearts are too full of gratitude to which "no tongue can give adequate expression." The Prime Minister moved, "That the House adjourn until to-morrow, and that the members proceed to St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, and give humble thanks to God for the deliverance of the world from its great peril. Mr. Asquith seconded the motion. He declared it was clear that the war was not only ended, but*could not be resumed. He trusted that a new chapter of international history had been entered in which war .would be regarded as an anachronism. The House could do nothing but acknowledge its gratitude •to Almighty God.
