CHEERS RING OUT
AS FIGHTING ENDS
On LAST DAY OF WAR AMERICANS

GUNS ON BOTH SIDES STOP
At Exactly One Minute of Eleven AT
Firing Ceased, Followed BY Ripping
Cheers From the Trenches On Both
Sides of the Line.

Paris.-When dawn came Nov. IL
there was no hint of the cessation OF
hostilities. East of the Meuse, regard
less of the situation, the American Sec
pnd army attacked In force at o'clock
The onslaught was preceded by a tre-
mendous barrage, which was returned
In kind by the enemy. For three hours
the Americans swept forward, hurting
themselves against the wire entangle-
ments.
The German gunfire was devastating.
Then, at exactly one minute Of IL, like
final thunder crash at the clearing
OF a storm, the guns on both sides alb
startling than the deafening roar Of the
barrage. For brief minute intermit-
tent rifle fire followed, then came q
pause, punctuated by ripping cheers
from the trenches on both sides Of the
line.
one of the most singular events
OF the war Against the skyline fig
ures were suddenly sillihoutted. They
appeared cautiously at first, but soon.
growing bolder all along the line, they
stood upright. These were Germans.
The Americans were not so cautious.
AS the barrage died, ending in a final
husky rumble in the distance from the
big guns, runners went springing along
the firing line. Instantly comprehend
irg, the whole line of doughboys leaped
from trenches, fox holes and shell era
ters, splitting the unaccustomed silence
with shrill piercing yell.
Strange to relate the defeated enemy
Joined vociferously in the cheering.
The world war was finished.
At one minute before IL it would
have meant death to show ones self
above shelter. Not more than minute
alter the hour the rolling plains was
alive with cheering, shouting men,
friend and enemy alike. Not many
rninutes later Germans and Americans
were coming along the narrow stretch
cf ground, SO fiercely fought over, some
shyly and awkwardly, like embarrassed
school boys.
First advances were followed by OF.
fers from Americans of cigarettes,
chocolate and chewing gum. The Ger
mans in some places reciprocated with
offers Of hot coffee, bread and sausage.
The order forbidding fraternizing
was strict. but the novelty of the situa-
tion at times overcome prudence and

wire at a road crossing, some dough-
Toys and the Germans began a brisk

were bewildered by the number Of
Americans speaking German.

wart private.

monther and father were both born

He sat with his grand father, stout, rather red-faced man, who was obviously devoted to the youngster. And at this time" said the clergyman, in the course of his sermon, "it is the small sacrifice which means so much to the good of the nation generally. There is shortage of sugar We'll, let us eat less candy, for instance" The stout man nudged his grandson. "It is time for sober, clear-he0ded action on the part of all" continued the clergyman; "and when there are so many war needs for al- cohol, why, for instance, should any man now partakc of spirltuous llquors?" Then the small boy nudged his grandfather.

LOSS IN TRENCHES
Mortality Less Than in Any of
 the Previous Wars.
Physician Asserts That Disease Is So Thoroughly Eliminated That a
 Sick Man Is . Curiosity.

Readers with relatives 9nd friends at the front should ger considerable comfort from study of the mortality statistics of the armies recently put forward by well-knOwn physician, London Tit-Bits states. While his fig ures are not so favorable as those given out from Paris indicating that all kinds of permanent losses-killed, captured, missing and disabled-aggre- gate but per cent per annum of the effective forces engaged, they are nev- ertheless distinctly encouraging.
 He finds that about sixty men per 1000 are being killed and 150 wound ed and that very large proportion of the latter return to the trenches. This, naturally, is not to be compared with the normal death rate in time of peace of men of military age, which is but eight per 1000; but it is vast i'm provement upon the showing of any previous war.
 For one thing, disease has been so thoroughly eliminated that sick man is curiosity. The soldier at the front is certainly less liable to attack than if he were at home. Everything he cats and drinks and wears, almost everything he touches, is subject to the finest medical supervision of which science is capable, and if any particu- larly persistent bacillus were to get into his system in spite of all precau- tiOns, 1t would find him in such SUI perb condition that it's work would be futile. The high commands have thor oughly learned the lesson that it does not pay to train man to be a soldier and then lose him from cause that Is in the least degree preventable.
 By this same token. experience, both in the protection of the soldier and in the care of the wounded, is stead fly reducing the death rate as the war progresses. Not only are new tactics constantly being developed which re- suit in loss exposure of the individual soldier but he is constantly being better equipped with defensive ap- paratus to minimize the effects of bull let or Shrapnel or gas attack. Finally, from many classes of wounds which would have spelled probable death in 1914 and certain crippllng in 1915. re- covery is now almost matter of course.
 The drafted man who goes as an or dinary soldier, taking his judgment with him and leaving his excessive en- thusi0Sm behind, has every chance Of coming back, and in better physical condition than when he left.

As my body hears the earth, my soul will soar to unknown heights, and the sep aratiOn win be victory. It will be a full-hearted 'Magnifcent;' adoring prayer of eXpiation for what I have left undOne rather than for what I have done.

pEPORTiaG 4 WHOLE NATION
Kaiser, in Action Toward Belgium, Is Partly Following Style First Set
 by King Sareon.

Only few years ago, comparative ly, the great King Sargon was held by critics to be biblical myth, monarch who never ruled Assyria, but eXcava- tions in that ancient land confounded the alleged historical experts, says the Newark News. And now comes along no less an authority than John Dyne- ley Prince, former statesman of New Jersey, master of some twenty ancient and modern tongues, and head of q department in Columbia university calling attention to the fact that Sar- gon first set the style of deporting q whole nation that is being partly fol- lowed by the kaiser in Belgium.
 It was some 2,600 years ago that Sargon carried the ten tribes of Israel out of the promised land and filled up their country with Arabs and tribes from northern Asia Minor, and he did such good job that the Jews never came back. History, however, does not always repeat itself, as witness the return from captivity of the Jews released from Babylonia through Cy- rus the Persian.
