GOVERNMENT STOPS CALL FOR
MEN TO BE INDICTED INTO
MILITARY SERVICE MONDAY

Two hundred and fifty men from
various counties to the north were
stopped at Sank Centre Monday noon
by government orders. The eighteen
young men from Western Stearns
county were also about to go to the
depot at Melrose when the orders
were received for them to go home.
The order affected the men differ
emily. Some of the boys were pleased
to think they had been relieved of
military duty while many others
were mad as hornets because they
had been deprived of the opportunity
of getting Wallop at the Hun.
Advices from Washington Tuesday
say: "No more questionnaires will
be sent out by the draft boards, it
was explained by the Provost Mar
shall Generals office today.
Those which have been sent, how
ever, must be filled out and returned
to the draft boards. All present
draft calls have been cancelled. 1t is
unlikely, however, that men sent to
camps under previous calls will be re-
turned until peace has been declared
or the situation in Germany definitely
cleared up"

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS BOXES
FOR OVERSEAS MUST BE PUT
IN MAIL BEFORE NOV. 20

Although 100 cartoons for Christ
mas packages for Sank Centre boys
in service overseas have been at the
Herald office for over week, but few
of them have been called for.
Last weeks Herald carried quite
an extensive story relative TO The
manner in which the boxes could be
turned over. Many mothers have
called during the week who have not
yet received the necessary slips
from their boys. The government IN
sists that these packages must be
mailed before Nov. 20, and IF there
are those having slips who have not
yet called for their boxes they are
urged to do so at once. The slips
must be presented before boxes can
be delivered. Before the boxes are
mailed they must also be brought to
the Herald office where the chairnaan
of the local Red Cross will inspect
them. This too is part of the require
ments Of the government.

A prayer of thanksgiving went up
Monday morning when it was definite
ly known that the armstice had been
signed. Old Glory was soon waving
from every conceivable building, resi-
dence, nook and corner. School was
let out at noon and young America
was even more in evidence than on
the Thursday proceeding.
Mayor DuBeau arranged an inform
al parade for the evening, headed by
the Home Guards and a famous
"Jazz" band led by DR.. Blk, real
gentleman Of color" The music was
not particularly classical but touched
responsive chord in the hearts of
the multitudes that had gathered up
on the streets. AS one man expressed
it, it was ga regular Fourth of July
crowd"
The parade headed by the banu,
members of the Palmer Post, G. A. r.
the Home Guards, the high, school
cadets, school children and citizens
marched about the city for some time.
1t was typically. American. While the
band was playing at the corner
of Third and Main at the close of the
parade the Home Guards came rush
ing pell nell up Third street having
Won Hindenberg and the Kaiser in
charge. These murde1ers were first
hung and then burned in effgy much
to the delight of the populace.
There were no accidents and the.
celebration closed with dance on the
streets.
; On the whole they were great func-
lions for red-blooded Americans.

President Woodrow Wilson appear
ed before Joint session of congress
Monday afternoon, and delivered
a very remarkable address, in
which he gave in detail the terms of
the ar1nstice signed by Germany. At
this time the president said in part
as follows
In these anxious times of rapid and
stupendous change it will in some de-
gree tighten my sense of responsible
ity to perform in person the duty of
communicating to you some of the
larger circumstances of the situation
with which it is necessary to deal.
The German authorities who have,
at the invitation of the Supreme war
council been in communication with
Marshal Foch, have accepted and
signed the terms of armstice which he
was authorized and instructed to COM
municate to them.
The war thus comes to an end, for,
having accepted these terms of arms
tice, it will be impossible for the Ger
man command to renew it.
It is now possible to assess the con-
sequences of this great consummation.
We know only that this tragical war,
whose consuming flames swept from
one nation to another until all the
world was on fire, is at an end and
that it was the privilege of our own
people to enter it at it's most critical
juncture in such fashion and in such
forca as to contribute in a way of
which we are all deeply proud, to the
great result. We know, too, that the
object of the war is attained, the OBJ
ject upon which all free men had set
their hearts; and attained with a
sweeping completeness which even

In discussing the local situation this
morning Mayor DuBeau gave tne
Herald the following statement:
aThis Thursday morning the tota1
pledges reported to the committee
amount to $2,252.25 and we estimate
other pledges, made but not yet
turned in, bring the total up to about
1000. This amount is far short OF
the allotment for the city, which is
"A. 700, and if this amount is to- be
raised. many who have already sub
scribed must necessarily raise their
subscriptions, and many others must
also subscribe.
nThere has been so much excite
ment of late that most people 90 not
realize the importance OF raising TINS
money which goes toward furnishing
our soldier boys with those little CONF
forts they need so much, those COM
/. forts which are really necessary TO

among the seven leading field organi-
zations. this being joint compaign,

Will SAUk CENTRE
FAIL THE BOYS?
HALF OF UNITED WAR FUND
ALLOTMENT RAISED UP TO
NOON YESTERDAY.
ALL LISTS MUST BE REVISED
MONEY MORE BADLY NEEDED
NOW THAN EVER BEFORE
9 COME ACROSS.

The drive for the United War Work
fund is on in full blast all over the
Unted States this week. The goal
set for the seven societies is $170,O00,-
eco.
Judging from reports at hand this
Thursday morning there is a relaxa-
tien all over the country with regard
to giving for this necessary war work.
The signing of the temporary. peace
armstice very likely has had an I'M
conscious effect upon the public.
With peace at hand there is a grow
ing need of the Y. M. C. A, the Y. W..
G. A., the K. of c., Jewish Welfare
Board, War Camp Community Service
American Library Association and the
Salvation Army. Instead of making
several drives for these different or
CARNATIONS it was wisely decided to
raise the funds by concerted move
ment. The plan has the unqualified
endorsement of President Wilson and
the army and navy heads.
Although peace has been declared it
will be mahy months before any OF
the boys from overseas will be sent
home. 1t is said that it will be inn
possible for the board which will ar
range final peace terms to meet be-
fore the latter part of January. Elk
-perts also figure that it will take at
least eight months for the prepare
tions of the terms which Germany
must sign, and one expert on We'd
nesday gave it as his opinion that be-
cause of the multiplicity of interests
that must. be settled it will take sew
eral years to clean the board.
This means of course that Uncle
Sam must keep her army over there.
While these organizations have
been of inestimabEs value to the boys
during the activities of war they will
he needed much more now that war is
at an end. In the nature of things
drilling will not be as strenuous and
there will be much more leisure time.
To keep the boys contented and happr
and to maintain their high morale the
war auxiliaries have their work cut
out.
From reports at hand this Thursday
morning it is evident that Sank Cen
ire has fallen down badly on her ape
portionment of $4TO0 allotted as her
share for this important work. Mayor
A. j. DuBeau who has charge of the
drive in this city met with a number
of business men and ladies Monday
and divided the city into fourteen
districts. A large part of the town
has been canvassed and the totals
are far below what is required.
The Victory Boys and Girls, direct
ed by Miss Alice Quigley is the only
organization that have raised what
they should for this important work.
Up to noon today, the young people
of the public school have guaranteed
the magnificent sum of $532.8O as
