WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
Negotiations for peace between Russia
and Germany are to be started forth
with. Official announcement Of the
signing of the armistice was sent out
from Berlin yesterday. It was signed
on Saturday and will go into operation
at noon today.
Truces which have been operative
along various sections of the Russian
front will be succeeded by an actual
armistice this noon. Those truces
were arranged division by division and
each was separate and distinct from
the others. The armistice Is a general
one. It was signed on Saturday, the
official announcement said, at Brest
and Litovsk, and provides that nego-
tiations for the actual peace shall be-
gin Immediately with the signing OF
the armistice which is to remain In
effect until noon on Monday, January
IA. Beyond these statements the Ger
man announcement did not go into the
terms of the agreement.
Breach Once Near
How near a temporary break in the
negotiations for an armistice. ap-
preached is told in dispatches which
were received from Petrograd last eV-
ening. Trotsky declared that the
breach was imminent when the Ger
man general. Hoffman, insisted on the
right of Germany to withdraw small
units from the Russian front during
the armistice. Against this the Rus
slams held out and Trotsky says that
the Russian contention finally pre-
vailed and Hoffman yielded to an
agreement that there shall be no
transfers from the Baltic or Black
Sea fronts except those that were
actually commenced and in progress at
the time of the signing of the
armistice.

KEEP CANDY FROM CHILDREN

Assertion Made by DR.. Harvey
W.. Wiley.

"Rear your children on whole wheat,
cornmeal, skim milk and the Bi-
ble," said DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chem
list and food expert, to the mothers who
attended his lecture at the Forsythe
dental infirmary the other afternoon,
says the Boston Post Today we are
eating too much brand and too little
bran," he added.
"One flour is just as good as another
and 1t is ridiculous to pay an extra
dollar or two to get some particular
brand" he continued. "White flour,
regardless of brand and price, is q de-
vitallzed and demineralized food prod
uct. They don't have wholesome foods
on sale nt the grocery stores because
no one asks for them.
"There is only one food that you
can live upon alone and that Is milk.
If you mix whole wheat products with
milk you can live forever. We have
failed to realize what splendid food
can-be found in Indian corn meal. We
do not know how to live.
"Women are blindly following a vi
cious fashion in wearing high-heeled
stills that ruin their health and make
them unable to become mothers. The
mothers Of this country are eating
white bread, cake and ice cream, and
then expect their children TO be born
healthy.
"Candy never should be fed to chill
dren. The child does not have a sweet
tooth until it is acquired by being fed
sweet stuffs. No wonder its teeth de-
cay and fall out before maturity. Some
women use malts and make every eff.
fort to put on flesh before motherhood

CHAPTER XIII.

The taXicab chose the northwest cor
ner of Fifty-sixth street as the most in
convenient spot attainable to blow out
rear shoe. But Lydia had drawn
luckily in New York's gigantic lottery
of chauffeurs. This man knew his busi-
ness. Before the girl had recovered
from the shock of the tire explosion
and the subsequent shaking up he had
brought his machine to standstill,
Jumped down, and was communing
with himself in terms of confidential
profanity concerning the ruined tire.
Then, opening the door, he an
nounced that this was the last stop.
Sorry" he said, "but / got no spare
tire, and if had I'd need half an hour
to make the change. Now IN have to
wait for the repair car"
A prey to vague mistrust, Lydia got
out. Southwark the avenue lay black
and lonely save for the lurching lights
of an ungainly bus cropping over the
wet asphalt; to the north the plaza was
like q well in the air, shot through and
through with glimmering light.
"I don't know what to do" Lydia
ventured in her distress. "Im a
stranger in New York" With pang
she realized how fatal such an admis-
sion might prove.
But her chauffeur was prosaic soul
who had never chartered his car to q
rang, and rocked little of the terrors OF

arms and stepped toward her. My

The girl sighed and shook her head.
"Im sorry, father. No, please don't
say anything more. I'm glad to be OF
service; and perhaps, In the course of
time, l shall understand you better.
But tonight" She made helpless
gesture, in unfeigned sadness. "There
are too many misunderstanding be-
tween us, and 1 don't seem able to
think clearly enough to reconcile them
tonight. Tomorrow, hope"
She was at the door before Craven
found a reply. AT your pleasure, my
lady!" he laughed, not pleasantly. Il

man in my position may have no Sc
crets from his child"
"Please don't say any more tonight" b"
Lydia begged, with her hand on the
knob.
"Oh, very we'll! !" he returned with a
shrug and grimace of strained patience.
"But-half a minute!"
Opening the door for her, he followed
out into the hall, where a stolid bellboy
was waiting for his answer to the
knave of clubs. To him Craven pre-
sented piece of silver.

entrance" he said "the Fortysixtl

cuse for desiring to rid herself of her
responsibility as quickly as possible
and wash her hands of the whole mat
ter: she never wanted to see the collar
again.
1t was evidently defective hearing
alone that caused the desk clerk to re-
quire a repetition of the name.
"Mrs. Merrilees."
The clerk retired to consult the room
rack, and presently returned with the
official smile, impersonally apologetic.

arrived during the day"
"Yes," Lydia affirmed, "she did-thls
afternoon, believe"
The smile became even more remote
ly regretful. "Tm sorry, but Mrs. Mer-
rilees Is not among our guests"
Some instants later Lydia became
conscious that she was staring, to the
panied embarrassment of the young
man. Hastily averting her gaze, she
remarked the clock, and mechanically
noted the hour: 1t was quarter to
eleven.
"Are you sure?" she faltered.
"Oh, quite"
But Craven had promised to meet
her there, had given her the necklace
to deliver to Betty at the Margrave.
Impossible that he could be mistaken
as to his fiancee's hotel, he who had
been flying round all afternoon, "get-
ting Betty settled"-his very words
Insensibly Lydia's eyes darkened
and became informed with an express
sion that had suited better the eyes of
