GLOOM ACROSS LINE;
SIX MONTHS TO RUN
Business Between Now and
July l Will Make EN-
Rich, However.

Gloom settled over West Hammond
and Burnham today when it became
known that the president had signed the
bill making the country bone-dry July
l. 1919. It was generally conceded that
the state legislatures would finish the
job by ratifying the prohibition amend
ment so that the saloons are gone for
years to come if not forever
There are flfty-two saloons in West
Hammond and they pay the city s36.4OO
a year in licenses, They pay in rentals
$4,000 q month and employ more than
hundred bartenders. Whether that is
commensurate with the damage they do
is for the wet and dry sympathizers TO
figure out. Because of the increased sa-
loon business since Indiana went dry
the West Hammond police department
has been increased many tines.
However, the saloon owners Of West
Hammond and Burnham will be able to
reap a sufficient harvest between now
and JulyN> fix" them for life. it is said.
on the day of the celebration of the
end Of the war one West Hammond sa-
loon did a gross BUSINESS Of s1.100 of
which $3.50 was profit The 'drings get
shorter, the whiskey worse. the beer
weaker and the prices higher as the
'bone-drys" days approach. 1t would
seem that the saloonkeepers are trying
to make the drinker so disguised that he
won't miss the stuff when it is taken
from him.

IL
ABOARD U. S. S. ARKANSAS,
Nov. II, 800 P. m.-Seventy Ger
man warships lie in sulky silence
IN the Firth of Forth surrounded
by more than 200 allied battle
craft which will guard them until
peace is signed.
AT 9:10 this morning the Ger
man naval officials carrying out
the demand of their people deliv-
cred to the allies this powerful
fleet. Five American dreadnoughts
and thee French warships assist
ed in the ceremonies.
As observed from the crows nest Of
the Arkansas this scene was most
dramatic. The first to make its appear
ance on the horizon was a British bal
loon towed by the Cardiff which went
yesterday to escort the Germans to the
rendezvous. This was quickly follow
ed by large black clouds OF smoke which
as 1t drew closer was taking the ap-
pearance Of battle cruiser.
The battle cruiser seydlitz led fol-
lowed by the remainder of the German
feet in single file. passing between two
lines of warships six miles apart The
feeling Of the Americans apparently
was chiefly confined to the most intense
curiosity which increased with a leap at
s o'clock when the battle fags were
hoisted atop to the graceful basket or
the american ships preparatory to re-
ception Of the surrendering feet.
King George reviewing the grand feet
yesterday visited the New York. He
expressed to Admiral Rodman the hope
that the working arrangements of the
British and American navies would be
continued in some manner after the
war.
1t was revealed today in connection
with the armistice negotiations that
Germany had lost eight more subma-
rines than the allies were certain had
been sunk
simultaneously with the surrender OF
the German feet Admiral Beatty sig
nailed:
down at 1857 p. m. and must not be
hoisted again without permission"
The admiral then sent messages to
the allied fleets recommending that a
service of Thanks giving be held at D.
m. offering homage TO victory. The pent
up feelings Of the fleet were Ioosened
when Beatty's ship passed back through
the lines, Men and officers cheered
wildly Sailors OF all the allies Joined in
singing the French national anthem as
the French cruiser passed.
