LONDON, Dee. 1.-THE predom-

tion at the moment is the signing OF m
armistiee, which is announced officially
at the capitals OF all the countries con-
cern.d According to special dispatches
from Petrograd, everyone there believes
that a permanent peace between Russia
and the central powers will result
Correspondents in general treat as neg
llgible the undertaking OF Germany and
her allies not to withdraw troops from
the eastern front. Petrograd dispatches
to the Times say large masses OF Ger
mans already have been removed and
that probably the German command
transferred all II proposes TO employ
elsewhere, so that is plans are not
likely to be deranged seriously
The Truce Author IL Dead.
The reported suicide during the ar
nlstiee negotiations at Brest- t-Litovsk OF
the Russian General Skatons apparently
has made a considerable impression at
Petrogrsd, although the Russian COM
missariss are silent in regard to it,
A Peuogrsd dispatch to the Post says
General Skatons was responsible for
the ramistice conditions, including the
evacuation Of Noon sound, which so
offended the Germans at the first meet
ing OF the negotiators.
General Skatons returned most unwil-
lingly for the second meeting, under i'm
perative orders Of his superiors. Tn,
correspondent seeks to show there II
nothing to prove that he committed sui
eide, which is not improbable, and in
sinuates that he was murdered.

Though there is an apparent loss ct
between two and three million tons,
considerable Part Of this will he

the losses that have occurred, ship

dustrial disputes have again taken on
a more serious aspect, according to
the reports which reached the depart
ment of labor last night. They affect
mineral production and coal fields.
Advices from Denver say that the
conferences which have been held
there in the hopes of aveTting strike
i in the Colorado coal fields have been
abruptly broken off. The men have
rejected all of the proposals made by
the mine owners and the suggestions
made by the board Of Cancellation are
likewise declined.
From Leadville reports of the dis
turbances of labor conditions in the
metal mines say that fivesof the large
metal mines of the district will be
closed pending a settlement Of the
differences with the workers, and that
this step has been necessitated by rea-
son of the interference of the strikers
with the operatives who were willing
to continue at work.
They also claim that agitators are
causing all Of the trouble and that
there would be no difficulty in secur-
ing an adjustment of differences with
the old employees were it not for such
interferences.
Dispatches from San Jose, Califor-
MIA, say that the employees of the can
neries there after a stormy session vot-
ed to return to work, to accept the pro-
posals of the managers Of the Gamer
les and that the differences will all be
settled this week.

FRENCH HAIL CHANCE
TO FIGHT FOR ITALY
By w. s. FORREST

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE
FIELD. Nov II.
Afire with enthusiasm. glad of an oppor-
tunity TO get out of three years In the
trenches to fight an enemy almost In the
open. Frances troops left for Italy with .
battle of -the- -Marne spirit.
Now that this tangible evidence OF
Frances aid to her ally has departed, per-
mission was granted today to tell some
thing of the ardor with which the French
troops started.
They were like schoolboys on holiday.
| saw them arriving at village on the
main-line railway after long marches that
tested even their tried legs. They swept
into the streets, halted. threw of their
marching kits and, with never a stop for
rest began working like beavers to stow
their Kitchens horses tents and other inn
pedimentl into waiting trains They sang
and chatted and whooped.
one detachment outspeeded the others.
They got aboard first, the engine chuckled
with stentoran withstand the train sailed
out on the first lap Of the sixty-hour jour
ney. It's human burden happily packed
aboard.
Not one minute was lost in backing In 4
| second train. II. too, was loaded and
| started with vim and enthusiasm. Then
came a third--and the process went on
| and on.
The most interested spectators were a
| large group of German prisoners working
| on a nearby sidetrack. They very soon
| learned from the shouting French soldiers
| where the loaded trains were bound,
II evidence were needed Of Frances morale
| and how her fighters regard the war. the
| scene today was sufficient. The troops had
| the morale OF the early months OF the war.
| IL was a chance TO fight, not from rat-rid-
den. vermin-infested trenches. but probably
| IN the open. officers and men alike hailed
! the chance.
