The abdication of Kaiser William has been officially announced as revolution spreads in Germany. Dispatches claim revolutionists threaten Berlin and may already control the city. The Kaiser and Crown Prince reportedly surrender, declining to sign the armistice, drawing sharp unpopularity for crowned heads in Europe.
The Williston Graphic lists John A. Corbett as Editor and Publisher. It notes weekly Thursday publication in Williston, North Dakota, and that the newspaper is entered at the Williston post office as second class mail matter.
The article reports on the 1918 election results with the President urging a democratic House and Senate. It notes Republicans led key war measures in the Senate and the House went Republican by about forty votes. Also included is a Foch message praising allied unity and a denunciation of Prussian aggression.
A poetic note imagines the first act of peace ending with Kaiser Wilhelm surrendering his sword to King Albert of Belgium as a symbolic gesture toward justice and reconciliation. The suggestion frames the scene as a fitting dramatic opening.
