posted the following appeal to men
of the 10th division:

or may not be agreed upon. The
wCrk and training OF the division
will 20 on with the same energy and
spirit as heretofore.
Theirs is nothing in the present
situation which justifies a change of
procedure on our part-and as sol
diers it is our duty to carry on with
out reference 10 an armistice, until
we receive instructions 10 the con-
trary."
