INNOCENT MAN RELEASED

The thought that troubles and
tortures me-" said Gov. Beckett in
granting pardon to Finnie Muse, a
Wayne county man who has been
serving since 1913 on 15-year sen
tence under conviction for criminal
assault. is that for five long years
an utterly innocent man has worked
under gun. worn felon's stripes
and slept in a felon's cell A full
and unconditional garden is granted
with the hope that in some way in
the Divine economy he may find
compensation for the anguish of
those dark and bitter years.
The statement of pardon reasons
further states that Muse agreed to
plead guilty of attempted criminal
assault lest, with no witnesses to
disprove the testimony of the wo-
man, he might get death sentence.
Recently the woman died and left a
dying statement that she swore false
ly against Muse because she disliked
him and that he was in no way
guiltyeof any phase of the crime for
which.he was being punished.

Kaiser to Receive Foch Terms
At Spa, II Miles From Liege

PARIS, Nov. 8 (A:22 .. m. j.-Stress
is laid by the "Temps" on the presence
Of Emperor William at Spa, where the
terms Of the armistice are being ex-
amined by the Germans.
$3.50 q. m.) THE powers con-
ferred upon Marshal Foch are strictly
confined to the conclusion OF an armis-
tice, according to the echo de Paris
The amendments to the terms placed
in his hands by the Tnter-Allied Coun-
Gil are closely limited, the newspaper
says.
Would Cloud Issue
Is 40 o.. M. THE texts Of the
wireless exchanges between Marshal
Foch and the German high command
show signs, the morning newspapers
declare, that Germany is still deter
mined to cloud the issue in every pos
sible way, apparently with the object
Of at least gaining time, il she cannot
gain anything else.
The "Matin" says: "Bcrlin and all
Germany are striding rapidly toward q
revolution The substitution Of @ re-
sponsible Secretary of State for Ad-
miral Won Hintze was inspired by this

grave peril. The commission sent by
the German government must have
with it a man able to sign Immediately,
without referring to Berlin. An at
tempt must be made at any price, in
the phrase of Prince Macmillan OF
Baden, TO open negotiations in favor
of peace.
A Victim Of Illusion
Needless to say, the German gov
ernment is the vicim of a persistent
Illusion. Marshal Foch will refuse to
come out of his province, which is
strictly military, and he also will cer-
tainly refuse any suspension of hos
tilities until the armistlce is accepted"
at Is probable that the idea domi-
mating the men at Berlin is much less
to convince the rebels at the General
Staff of the necessity of giving in
says the "Echo de Paris" ethan to de-
fleet the pourparlers toward hui
name peace. Germany's representa-
tivee soon will be undeceived."
Other commentators write in the
same vein, and invariably conclude by
asserting that German capitulation is
not far away.
New-York tribune., 1918-11-09

Overcome with emotion the tears
coursed down the rugged countenance
which so mony violent storms had left
impassive. Recovering himself, he
said:
Gentlemen, | thank you. | did not
deserve so much honor as you have
done me. Let me tell you that I am
proudest that you have associated my
name with that of Marshal Foch, that
great soldier who in the darkest hours
never doubted the destiny of his coun-
try. He has inspired every one with
courage, and we owe him an infinite
debt"
Difficult Times Ahead
Fully master Of himself now the
Premier went on:
Gentlemen, we are now coming to
difficult time. 1t is harder to win
peace than TO win the war. We must
SO act that France will resume the
place IN the world of which she is
worthy. More than ever must she
gather herself up; more than ever
must she be disciplined and strong
| have confidence in her"
Then, pushing his way through the
circle, the Premier said: will YOU
allow me to return to my task"

prospective festivities, stocks of deli
cacies are being brought out from the
city's cellars in readiness for feasting.
One hundred days ago the Germans
were thirtyfive miles from Paris. To
day they are begging peace.
After many occasions when hope has
been deferred and Of bitter disappoint-
ment. France knows at last that
triumph has come and gives rein to its
unreserved JOY. The conviction is uni
versal that, whether the German dele
cation signs articles of capitulation OF
not, Germany is beaten.
The Allied advance, particularly the
exploit Of tho Americans in capturing
Sedan, name which thrills every
French heart, shows clearly that con
tinuation of hostilities by Germany car
lead only to military debacle in the
near future. This feeling is confirmed
by news received from reliable quar-
ters that Germany's internal affairs
are drifting toward chaos.
Last night the people crowded arount
the newspaper bulletin boards until !
late hour, undiscouraged by the rain
When the news of Sedan was flashed
there was an outburst of cheers. JOY
and enthusiasm increased as yester
day waned. Groups sang the "Mar
seillaise," the "Sambrc ct Meuse" an,
other patriotic songs. Cafes wer
thronged. Champagne, which ever,
Frenchman promised himself long ago
sparkled in glasses. The people dranl

inces. to the Allies. to Premier Clemen

statements that news was being with
held and promising an announcement
as soon as the government received in
formation that an armistice had been
signed.
Mr.. Lansing's statement said:
"I am requested and authorized by
the President to state that no informa-
tion reaching this government concern
ing the armistice negotiations in France
has been withheld; that any statement
to the contrary is utterly false, and
that as soon as a definite decision in
regard to the armistice has been
reached it will Immediately be made
public by the government"
No Suspension Of Arms
An official diplomatic dispatch from
France to-day emphasized that Marshal
Foch is empowered only to deliver ar
mistice terms to the Germans, and re-
ceive their acceptance, and that peace
negotiations are not the business OF
the military commander
Any suspension of hostilities before
the armstice is signed, even if asked
on philanthropic grounds, is declared
to be out Of the question.
"The powers conferred on Marshal
Foch only concern the conclusion of ar
armistice," says the dispatch. "The
notifications which he is qualified tc
grant are strictly limited. Any sus
pension Of arms even if it is asked fol
on philanthropic grounds is out of the
question.

OF professor, conscientious man,
who from the beginning of the war

ence to any laws that might be laid
down by those placed above him Most
scrupulously did he observe all the food
regulations. Never once did he give
way to "hamstering' and the clandes

often went to bed hungry. but his con-
science remained clear and his honor

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-Secretary
Lansing announced late to-day that
Marshal Foch reported to Paris at 1925
o'clock this morning (Paris time) that
he had rejected formal request from
the German armistice delegates for an
immediate suspension of hostilities, and
that the seventy-two hours in which the
Germans must answer the Allied terms
delivered to them began at II n. IN.
Paris time).
Marshal Foch reported the German
plenipotentaries had arrived at his
headquarters with full powers from the
! Chancellor. =
In announcing that the conference
which may end the war had begun, the
, State Department disclosed that the
German envoys, after reading the sur
render terms, would be allowed brief
time to consider whether they must
communicate with Berlin, and then
would be given seventy-two hours IN
which to reply, if they required de-
cision from Berlin.
Anxiety among officials of the gov
ernment to-day over the renewal Of
wild premature peace demonstrations
started yesterday by the false report
of the signing of an armistice almost
equaled interest in the outcome OF the
conference.
Calmly Await Result
Everywhere it is believed that fhe
Germans are beaten, and that their sur
render cannot long be delayed. Wore
that the drastic conditions under which
the American and Allied advance may
stop is awaited with calm confidence.
But IL is realized that the premature
celebrations, in which lives already
have been lost and property destroyed
may create q grave situation, resulting
in material interruption of industria
and business activities.

At Start of Leap que
DR.. Charles r. Van Hise Saws
They Would Claim Rights
Reyond Their Dues

MADISON, Wis. Noy. S.-One of the
most immediate and serious problems
in organizing league of nations, Dr.
Charles r. Van Hise, president of the
University of Wisconsin, said here to-
night at l, meeting Of the Wisconsin
League to Enforce Peace, would arise
from jealousy of position, which would
impel second rate powers to. "claim as
their right the same position as the
tirst-class powers
ut appears to me-" he said, "that to
form league of nations which shall
at the outset include all the free ma
tions that wish to enter is inadvisable.
The League of Nations should at first
consist of the free nations which have
borne to the end the larger part of
the burden Of this war against autoc-
racy, viz: The United States, England,
France, Italy and Japan. The organi-
cation of such league under the
principles above given, even if it in
cluded no other nation. would go far
toward sustaining the future security
Of the world. Even covenants to the
extent above outlined of the English
speaking peoples would be mighty
influence in that direction
The United States, DR.. Van Hise de-
clnred already had abandoned its "iso-
lation" ir entering the world conflict
