Washington, Nov. 14.-Appeals ad- ,.,ssod to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and wss lane Addams of Chicago, on t.bolf of the women of Germany, osl;no that the armistice terms be ,,od;fed to prevent "unspeakable dis ,,tor" have been sent from the Ger r,on wireless station at Nauen. They ,ere picked up by the military intel pyence radio at Haulton. Maine, and were made public tonight by the war department.
 The appeal to Mrs. Wilson said the uomen and children of Germany have baen starving for years" and that they twill die from hunger by the millions" unless the terms of the ar m;stice are changed so that sufficient ,oring stock will be made available for moving food from the farms. It WAS dated at Berlin and signed by Gertrude Baeumer and Alice Soloman, for the National Council of Women of Germany
 The appeal to Miss Addams was from Anita Augsbery at Poz, under date of yesterday. It said that the German women "foreseeing entire Punishment and mutiny for their coun ry.' urged their American sisters" to nterceje to have the armstice terms modified.
 We are all free voters of free re- public now, greeting you heartily" tie appeal said.
 The message to Mrs. Wilson fol TVS:
 To Mrs Woodrow Wilson, White 5ouse, Washington, D. C.
 Madame;
 According to the terms of the ar mistice Germany has to surrender a very large part of the rolling stock of Ter railways. At the same time she ias to feed the troops of her former enemies in the occupied provinces of Germany, The German women and children have been starving for years. They will die from hunger by the mil Hons if the terms of the armistice are not changed We need the rolling stock of the railways to bring the food from the farms to the cities. 1t will oe impossible to feed the soldiers of the occupying armies if we cannot get large amounts of food from overseas. The women and children all the world over have been innocent sufferers of the terrible war, but nowhere more 'nah m Germany. Let it be through Joa' madame, to implore our sisters

The market met renewed liqui- dation, however, and there may also have been some selling on the census report indicating domestic mill con- sumption for October of only 440,833 bales, against 5S4.956 last year. But the market soon steadied on renewed covering in the absence of any in crease in spot offerings or hedge sell ing. 4 good deal of the buying later was attributed to mills fixing prices.

GERMAN ARMIES
 AREEVACUATING
 SOIL OF FRANCE
Allied Troops Follow Them Up as They Fall Back Before Them-Americans Are Nov ing Toward Metz.

Paris, Nov. 14.-Germany's troops began to evacuate France and Bel gium on Tuesday. The allied troops then moved forward; the American troops moved in the direction of Metz and Strassburg.
 Marshal Foch, commander-in-c of the allied armies, will make solemn entries into Actresses on Sunday in the presence of President Poincare and Premier Clemenceau. The mar shal will ride into the cities on Croe- sus, his favorite charger.
 It is probable the departments in the re-won territory will resume their old names; namely Bas Rhin, prefec- ture of Strassburg; Haut Rhin, pre- lecture of Colmar and Moselle, pre- lecture of Metz. The government al ready is considering the question of provisional administrative arrange mentS.
 The occupation of the territory on the left bank of the Rhine and the brdgeheads will not be undertaken by the allied forces unti ltaler Hetaoioin the allied forces until later. The lib- eration of Belgium promises to be rapidly accomplished. On the occa- sion of the re-entry of the Belgian sovereigns into Brussels, the French government has decided to present to the queen the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor and to the heir ap- parent the chevaler's cross and the cross of war
 In conformity with the agreement reached between Marshal Foch and the German delegates, period of five days has been allowed to the enemy in which to hand over all the arma- ment and material stipulated in the armistice.
 The French command asked the Germans for information as to where mines had been laid and was informed that some had been placed in the Os-
 
 terday. The general command, ac- cordingly, was asked to send officers to locate the explosives.
 An additional day, making fifteen days in all from the date of the armis- tice, has been granted to the enemy to evacuate Belgium, Luxemburg, AL sace and Lorraine.
 Marshal Foch has directed the Germans to send officers to the king of the Belgians at Bruges to give in formation regarding the German and LuXepburg railroad and canal sys- tems and the navigation of the Rhine
 The Germans today are sending an officer to Chimay to arrange with French officers for the handing over of the arms and material which Ger many has agreed to surrender.

SOLDIERS TO RETURN HOME
 FREE FROM DISEASES

Little Rock, Nov 15.-Secretary of War Baker has notified the governors, mayors an dhealth authorities that the soldiers are to be returned home uncontaminated by disease. and has urged immediate steps be taken to hold the control which has been es- tablished for venereal diseases. No better opportunity will be afforded to reach the young manhood of the coun- try than that which can be secured through the cooperation of lecturers of the health service with the local boards.
 Dr. Garrison says, It is urged that the local boards and the lecturers re- main in close touch to the end that every man examined henceforth may receive definite instructions in regard to the prevention as well as the cure of venereal disease. If this is good for military men, why is it not good for the private citizen? So let us continue this work as it will increase the efficiency of our people in every county in this state"
 Secretary Baker says, Reports of laXity from your state after so much has been done would be disaster to our soldiers and their families"

the crude oil from the shales without
hurting or altering its molecular con-

heat without steam or distillation
cannot make commercial success be-
cause the gasoline content will have
been hurt and reduced, the viscosity
of the lubricants impaired, the para

ter the crude oil has been properly ex-

fractionalizati0n or separation of this
crude oil into marketable commercial
commodities. The old method of re-

it into its various products, such as
gasoline, kerosene, lubricants, etc, by

tain very large percentage of high
grade lubricants approximately 10

test of about 225 at 20 degrees Fab

and wakes, the shale crudes will yield
about 25 per cent gasoline, possessing
an unusual amount of kick, energy and

the three principal marketable pro-
ducts reclaimed from the refinery
