Daily, when asked last night whether the
police were still under orders to gather

WORLD Is ALL AG0G
AWAITING THE NEWS


inkliug as TO the result of this most
nromento1,s meeting possibly in the his
tory of the world. \ tension such as
probably never was known in history
has spread around the globe and can
only be broken by the official announce
ment whatever that may be.
BY that time the country's remark
able victory celebration may be all
over. 1t is possible. though not prob
able, that fighting may be going on more
furiously than ever before.
The State Department had announced
that until II: 80 o'clock tonight they
would await the coming OF some sort of
confirmat ION Of the news report which
had set an entire nation a&og for a day
The hour came and passed anu the State
Department officials met the termination
Of their time limit Of expectation with
the statement: I'VE have nothing 1T
all"
The German parliamentaires have
come to Marshal Foch fully cognizant
OF what is In store for them. They know
the armistice terms which Austria was
forced to accept. They know the text
OF President Wilson's last note to the
German Government warning It of the
tremendous indemnity which Germany
must pay. They have no reason TO be-
lieve that the terms to Germany will be
less severe than those imposed upon
Austria.
But with this advance knowledge they
are reported 10 be empowered 10 con-
clude the armistice negotiations. The
assumption here, therefore. IS that they
will come prepared TO acceD. the inev-
table.
Developments in Germany, and partic-
| ularly latest developments on the west
! ern front, all tend 10 hasten this German
! decision. Nevertheless, officials here ex-
pect that the armstice negotiations may
consume two or three days. Widl Aus
| tria there was come delay. The Brest-
Litovsk armistics consumed three days.
The time limit which Marshal Focr
has placed upon the proceedings would
not necessarily bar all discussion. pro-
vided this did mott involve departure
! from the actual terms laid down at the
| conference at Versailles. For example
! suggestions from the Germans. as to the
most practical method OF executing th<
/ armistice might be entertained.
All is in readiness here for calling off
| the war. II news that the armistice has
been signed comes il will be flashed inn
| mediately to all American war vessels
| on the seven seas and would automatic
ally bring TO a stop every form OF mill
/ tary operation.
| But though this is expected to be the
| next development. the Allies and the
| United States are not taking auythine
| for granted. War activities ali along
| the line are to be maintained at top
| speed until this fash is received.
The unusual DEVELOPMENT Sf to-day
! may result in the official announcement
having q different reception from what
! had been anticipated for Il. II had been
! expected by all Governments that as soon
~ the announced signing of the arms
tice. IL II should be signed, to their
peoples. there would be one OF the wild
est celebrations in the worlds history 10
mark the end of four years of battle and
bloodshed. But 1t Is scarcely conceivable
that a second celebration on the scale OF
the one seen to-day will follow the official
| announcement here.

BAVARIAN TROOPS
MAY START HOME


PARIS, Nov. There Is reason to
believe. according to Berne despatch
to the Temps, that the Premier OF Bava-
ria has sent an urgent note to the Ger
man Government TO the effect that II an
armistice Is not concluded without delay
he will be obliged officially to order the
Bavarian troops to return from the front.
This action, It Is added, would be taken
owing to the fact that Bavaria Is mem
aced on her southern frontier by allied
forces and because the internal situation
in Bavaria is unsatisfactory.
Field Marshal Mackensen on request
ing permission for his army to pass
through Hungary from the Balkans to
Germany, was informed that the request
would be granted on condition that the
troops lay down their arms on Hunga-
rlan soil The arms are to be forwarded
to Germany later.
A despatch received here from Inns
bruck says the Bavarian War Minister
has informed the Tyrol authorities that
Bavarian troops would march to the
northern Tyrol frontier as guard. The
Minister added
I'VE come as friends. but will uee
force II we are resisted"
1t is understood the Bavarian van
guard already has crossed the Bavartan
frontier.

Sir Robert Borden, premier OF Canada, is a

Sir Robert Borden was premier OF the Dominion

in his proffer of men and money to the limit of
Canadian resources" to the motherland. Through
out the war he has been the storm center of Ca
madam politics; but through it all he remained
stanch and patient.
Finally the opposition refused extension of
Parliament, and he forced to the country. He
gathered about him the best of both the Lib
eral and Conservative parties and has returned to
power by very decisive majority.
1t is therefore real pleasure to extend greet
ngS to one who hewcd to the line of patriotism
and 'Iet the chips fall where they may" He was
right and he knew it. When the people voted they
voiced the Canadian spirit and returned to power

"Of the healthy who are engaged in the

into the place OF work animals; you can go into
any section OF France today and see women Of
magnificent. noble physique hitched to the plow
and cutivating the soil All of the agriculture
