PARIS, Nov. IL (By The Associated
Press Official announcement Of the
signing of the armistice and the
termination of hostilities at IL o'clock
This morning was given to the Paris
press at 1880 o'clock. Flags speedily

France to decorate public. buildings and
have public illumination tonight. He
slso ordered them to have the military
authorities fire salvos to inform the
populace that the armistlce mad been
signed and to cause all bells to be
rung.
Deputies Wild With Joy
Scenes of widest enthusiasm were
enacted in the Chamber of Deputies
this afternoon when Premier Clemen-
ceau read the conditions of the Ger
man armistice. The whole Chamber
rose to greet the Premier, while the
galleries, IN which was a predominance
Of soldiers in uniform and women,
cheered for several minutes.
Prolonged cheering greeted the an
nOuncement that Alsace Lorraine would
oe occupied, and the name of Marshal
s0eh, as the signer of the document,
was Justify received.
rance is bearing The good news with
lde same equabie temperament with
which it bore the vicissitudes of the
last four years. Quiet Joy is visible
on every countenance, but there is lit
lie outward expression.
Watching Germany
The French public is turning its at
tsntlon to the extraordinary events in
Germany. While few bands played
IN the streets and there was much sing
ing Of the "Marseillaise," the great
crowds in the boulevards paid most at
tention to the newspaper bulletin
boards. Many Parisians remained up
until far into the night discussing the
news in the cafes.
The authorities had ordered the blue
ing cleaned from the street lamps and
'ne cafes were lit from the arc lamps
outside,
FOR the first time in years the boule-
'ards last night presented an appear
ance OF animation and gayety, but there
we're no boisterous outbursts. The
people apparently we're waiting for the
oelis to ring out the news of the close
eol the tragedy which has cost France
'wo and one-half millions of the flower
Of her sons.
Premier Clemenceau addressed news
PAPER men to-day as follows:
The armistice was signed at 5
o'clock this morning, Germany accept
'hg all the conditions with slight
notifications. We have to be very
careful about the food problem in
uermany. We cannot let the nation
suher famine. We must endure our
selves and at the same time keep our
military superiority. Thank you, gen
aemen. France has done wonderfully
'nsough four long years.

LIoUIDATEs DEBT TO FRANCE

California is generously sending Q
million and q half two-year-Old prune
trees to help in restoring the French
orchards, and enough seed beans te

Canadian naples In France. 1t Is

How pandeIions Saved Autolst.

A Findlay (Ohio) autoist was
stranded, gasless, somewhere between
Findlay and Toledo, miles from a fill
ing station. A newly welded pair
passed by in a small roadster. They
were stopped by the man with the gas
less car and he told them his trouble.
They were in sympathetic mood, as
all newly welded couples are, and
were asked for gasoline. But how was
the gasoline to be transferred from
one tank to another, when nothing
was at hand?
Finally. the little bride suggested
that n siphon be made of dandelion
stems. Both men laughed, but they
agreed to try 1t, just because she was
a bride. They made the chain OF
stems, started the gasoline, and the
Findlay man got enough to take him
home.

KEPT RECORDS OF HISTORY
How Papyrus Has Played Important
Part In All Stages Of the
Worlds Civilization.

In ancient times papyrus played a
great part in civilization, for except
for parchment made from the skins
Of animals 1t was the only material
on which records could be kept and
literature could be preserved, and 1t is
from papyrus rolls that we get the
knowledge of ancient customs and
habits.
The plant grows tall, from FIVE to
twenty-five feet, and 1t bears long.
grassy leaves. The stem is smooth
and triangular and its inner skin was
divided, by means Of sharp needle,
into thin strips. These were placed
on a table and kept moistened. Over
them crOsswise other strips were laid,
and then the whole was pressed to-
gether till 1t became a fiat sheet,
which was dried in the sun, beaten by
a mallet and polished with q piece of
ivory. The breadth of the sheet was
limited by the length of the papyrus
slips, but its length could be carried
indefinitely.
When finished the strip was rolled
on wooden cylinder. the ends of
which projected beyond the papyrus
and were decorated with painting and
carving. This was the material on
which the greatest examples of an
cient thought were written with a
sharp-pointed instrument which was
the forerunner Of our pen.

How German Troops Were Fooled.

Surrender Of German force of g.
600 men In East Africa was due to the
chance dropping Of a number Of bombs
by a British airman, according to a
report from Cape Town, which says:
"An officer of the Flying Corps was
out on reconnaissance in the region Of
the Rovuma river, but found nothing
to bomb. Being forced. to discharge
his cargo Of bombs to tighten his ma
chine for the homeward trip, he chose
a quiet spot and dropped them all,
causing, of course, considerable noise.
"The German general, Tafel, was at
the time marching to join his chief,
Won Lettow, but news Of the explo-
siOns was reported to him, and he,
thinking large force of the enemy
must be somewhere in the district, d.
verified his line Of march and before
long bumped into British force.
ultimately his whole force, 5000
strong, surrendered"

Why Tree Bows It's Head.

A note In Nature refers briefly to
lecture by Sir ]. G. Bose, which de-
scribes and explains bit of Hindu
wonder working-the "praying Palm
tree" of Faridpur. At the time of eve
ming prayer the tree is seen to bow It's
head In prostration, and It resumes an
erect attitude the next morning. The
lecturer devised special apparatus to
record continuously the movements
of the tree by day and night, and thus
discovered that the movement was due
to the diurnal change In temperature.
Movements of similar origin were
found In oil other trees tested.

If we had to go for our food

instead Of having it brought to

who liked simple things to eat
would have much time for bust

who liked highly spiced food
have to be journeying most of
their lives. They could find nut
megs in the West Indies and In
South America, but If they
wanted to find the spice In It's

for 1t would be a long one in

the whole journey In palatial

There are only three islands
in the group that are really big
enough to be called islands, and
these three have a total land
area of but 16 square miles.
They are between the huge
Islands of Celebes and New

the Philippines. which are far

which lies far to the south.
Here is the worlds nutmeg

Surgeon General Blue the other
