HUN EMISSARIES
 ON THE WAY TO
 TALK ARMISTLCE
Uncertain as to Whether They Are Invested With Sufficient AuthOrity-ls Purely a Mili- tary Issue.

London, Nov 6, 11:30 p. m.-The German armistice delegation has reached the allied lines. This infor- mation reached the lobby of the House of Commons late tonight.
 Amsterdam, Nov G. President Wilson's note to the German govern ment reached Berlin today. Official announcement of this was made at the German capital, and it was added that the text of the note would be pub lished this evening.
 Washington, Nov. 6.-Armistice terms prepared for Germany by the supreme war council soon will be in the hands of German emissaries now on their way from Berlin to the west ern front, but the time that must elapse before there is a decision as to thei racceptance or rejection probably will depend largely upon the powers Nllil WHICH lIle deIllldn uSleSdIlOl has been clothed.
 There is nothing here to indicate just what authority has been con ferred upon these representatives of the German government. The official announcement from Berlin, via Lon don today, said;
 "A German delegation to conclude an armistice and take up peace nego- tiations has left for the western front" but the language employed may or may not be significant.
 Officials here have assumed that the German representatives, after se- curing the terms from Marshal Foch, will transmit them by telegraph or convey them personally to the Ger man high command in the field, for it is understood to be the purpose in the present case, as was done with Aus tria, Bulgaria and Turkey, to deal with the armistice as purely a mili- tary issue between the military com mands.

WILL NOT REGULATE OPEN
 ING AND CLOSING HOURS

Little Rock, Nov. 6.-The conserva- tion division of the U. S. Fuel ad- ministration has decided that present conditions do not justify any nation al order regulating the opening and closing hours of offices, stores and other mercantile establishments and places of amusement. State admin istrators are requested to issue no such orders except to meet an acute shortage of fuel and power. All such orders must be issued by the state administrator. It is, however, de- sired that any reasonable conserva- tion measure that can be effected by voluntary agreement of any class or classes of trade or industry be en- couraged.

He was convicted in April, 1915, in the Monroe circuit court, of murder in the first degree and sen tenced to life imprisonment. It has been represented to the governor that since the conviction new evidence has come out convincing the prosecuting attorney and other petitioners that Jones is innocent of the crime for which he was convicted His convic- tion was secured wholly upon cir cumstantial evidence.
