IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. E. E Cuillot

a cloud or sorrow envelopes our
little city. The entire community
mourns at what seems the untmely
flight OF one of its choicest spirits.
The life of Mrs. Guillot was an
open book TO all who knew her. 1t
was life, rich and beautiful, in the
complete absence OF every form OF
selfishness and pettiness. and in the
splendor of sacrificial service. =
Today, Heaven cannot but be a
more beautiful and better place
because of her presence. Here,
trouble and doubt vanished at the
first note of her brave song of faith;
the dark day grew light in her CHEEKY
smile; tears fled and joys came to
stay with her glad, sympathetic
handclasp.
Into the few short years of her
life much was crowded. She lived
long, because she lived we'll. Years
for true it is that:
I'VE live in deeds, not years. in
thoughts not breath; in feelings, not
in figures on the dial"
Perhaps outside of her immediate
home, Mrs. Guillot will be missed
nowhere quite SO much as in the
high school mothers club. Always
present, earnest and active, much
of the effectiveness OF this import
ant organization can be traced to
her practical plans, and clear insight
as to comparative valuSs.
AS mother she gave hearty direc-
ton to the study, discipline and NOR
al development OF her children, To
her the home was the citadel OF civ
ilization-her place of every aug
menting growth, regulation, and
power. And as such, she was not
content to let others assume respon-
sibiity for its plans or its perma
nence; preferring rather to delegate
to herself this particular task OF
companionship and service.
Because she gave earnest, person
al instruction to her children, Mrs.
Guillot always extended to the high
school that gracious spirit OF coop
Grafton which makes vitally conf
dent as we'll as agreeable the rela
tionship between teacher and par
ent. In her loyalty to the school
was found a challenge which re-
buked indifference to obligation and
opportunity, and furnished inspira-
ton and enthusiasm to patrons and
teachers alike.
Everywhere, in each organization
OF which she was member. in each
lofty enterprise, in each charitable
project of our city, but in the home
and the school most of all, her abb
sence will be keenly felt as the days
go by. At such time any expression
OF affection and esteem is but emp
ty words. Nothing can heal sorrow 5
deep wound, but the sincere sym
pathy of the high school faculty and
Mothers Club is extended with that
of the entire community to the be-
reaved husband and daughters.

YANKEES BEGIN
MOVING TOWARD
GERMANY TODAY
Honor of Heading Occupation.
al Forces Falls to Second
American Army; Will
Advance in Columns.

With the American Forces in
France, Nov. 16.-Thc American
army will begin to move toward
Germany at $50 o'clock Sunday
morning. The army will travel
about II miles each day.
To the second army just organic.
ed has fallen the honor Of heading
the first big unit of the allied occu-
pational forces. The advance will
be made in columns.
The advance will be made in col
umns and not in the order of battle
so long followed. But it is not for
gotten that technically at least there
is still a state of war. Nothing will
be left to chance and every precau-
ton will be taken to guard against
surprises, notwithstanding none are
expected.
The advancing Americans will be
flanked by the armies of France and
by Sunday evening it is expected
that the advanced elements of the
Americans will cross the Belgian
border.
Going Into Luxemburg.
The Fifth French army on the
left and the Tenth French army
on the right will advance abreast
the Americans while far along the
line to the left and right the allied
tr- ops will continue to march toward
the line agreed upon in the armis-
tice.
The American advance will begin
on front from Mouzon to Thiau-
court, the extending lines embrac-
ing Luxembourg and Brey, up the
valley to the Moselle. Besides Lux
emburg the more important towns
falling to the lot of the American
are Longwy and Brey.
The occupation of the territory
which is being steadily evacuated by
the Germans according to the terms
of the armistice will not be careless
ly fastened. 1t will be some days
before German soil is reached. but
in less time theDurhy ofLuxemburg
will be penetrated, perhaps even to
its capital.

With the American Forces in

of civilian property are being car
ried away by the retiring Germans,
according to 1t. NJ. K. Lockwood
and 1t. D. c. Bebe of the Fiftieth
aero squadron, who returned to the
American front today after being
prisoners in the hands of the Ger
mans for 10 days. The aviators were
shot down November 4 in the re-
gion of Tannay, east of Rethel, and
were released by the Germans on
Thursday.
Walking towards the American
lines Lieutenants Lockwood and
Bebe passed great numbers OF motor
trucks and occasionally guns and
caissons -bandoned here and there
in the mud. but in every instance

Germany's Debt, Including In.
demnity Of 1871 With In
terest, Figured at 340,-
100000, 900 Francs.

Paris. Nov. 16.-(Havas)-Ger-
many's debt to France is estimated
at 34O,OOO,OOO,OOO francs by the
Matin in an editorial today. The
newspaper apportions the debt as
follows:
Return of the indemnity of 1871,
with interest, 60,000,000,000 francs;
expenses in the present war, l40,-
O00,000,O00 francs; pensions, 40,0O0,-
100000 francs, and reparation for
damages. l00,O00OO0,OOO francs
The Matin declares that France
must secure acknowledgement of
the debt before examining the way
in which it is to be paid. France
wants no idemnity profit, but all
Frenchmen want lawful reparation.
German and Austria, it adds,
should return to the allies mini
mum of 100000 tons of shipping
in payment for that destroyed in
the war. but they have at their dis
posal only 100000 tons.

Germans Driving off Cattle
AS They Retire From France

were taking herds of cattle, crates
of chickens and wagons loaded with
household articles.
During the first few days the Ger
mans billeted the aviators in Sedan,
later removing them farther back.
The lieutenants said their guards had
their attention centered on the up
rising in Germany and fretted be-
cause of the eagerness of news from
Berlin. Two days after their cap
ture the aviators said they heard
soldiers boo" their officers and the
guards repeatedly spoke disparag-
inGly o, the kaiser.
The German soldiers heard little
news from Berlin and other cities
as the wires had been tampered with
by some element desiring to keep
news developments from the army
at the front.
The aviators had plenty to eat
but the food was of poor quality.

Saturday, November 16-Amer-
ica's first real prisoners of war have
returned.
They are men who fought under
the French command and those who
were in the "Yanks' own scraps"
at St. Mihiel, Chateau Thierry,
Puvigny and in the great drive of
September 26.
They sat last night at their own
messes and slept near their own
camp-fres for the first time since
their incarceration of from two to
six months.
Start Coming Thursday.
They began coming through the
lines on Thursday night. Yester-
day morning they came in focks of
from 50 to 200.
lhe enthusiasm OF the doughbOyS
at the end of the war was nothing
compared to the wildness with
which they received the returning
Americans. Each one of the re-
leased prisoners was surrounded by
great groups of soldiers and the
eager listeners forced them to tell
the story of their capture, life in the
German prisons and the RETURN
just a little bit happier than they
ever thought it would be.
Food Very Bad.
The released captives gave full
details. Most of them had been
in prison camps at Luxembourg since
their capture but some had been
brought down from Belgium as the
war neared an end.
The food had been very bad all
the time, they said, but none COM

The distinguished service medal

two and two and a half million

Request of German Minister
for Permission to Send
Commission to U. S. Is
Held InadmiSSibIe.

Berlin, Nov. 16. { By
Wireless to London.) For
eign Secretary Solf has sent
a message to Secretary of
State Lansing urgently re-
questing President Wilson to
give permission for a German
commission to Immediately
leave Germany for the United
States so as to personally lay
before the American govern
ment the conditions existing
here and to assure the taking
of steps to purchase food
stuffs.
In his message, after appealing to
Secretary Lansing to intercede with
President Wilson to send peace
delegates to The Hague as soon as
possible, "in order to save the Ger
man people from pershing by
starvation and anarchy" Secretary
Solf suggested that Herbert C..
Hoover, the American food admin
istrator, be assigned to the task of
assisting the German people. This
section of DR.. Soils message reads:
american delegates could dis
cuss with the plenipotentiaries of
the German people the details of
how the rtagnanimous help of
America could save, in time, our
fatherland from the worst Perhaps
the matter could be put in the tried
hands of Mr.. Hoover, who has rem
dered such great services in Bel
GUM.
Situation Unbearable.
"The acceptance of the oppressive
armistice conditions, the necessity
of supplying from scanty provisions
the armies that are streaming back
from the front. the cessation of ma
vigation in the North sea and the
Baltic by the continuance of the
blockade, which imperils our pro-
vision supply, and the disturbed
conditions in the east. makes the
situation in our country daily more
unbearable. The peril can be
avoided only by the most speedy
help"
Aim to Excite Sympathy
Washington, Nov. 16.-In the al
most hysterical appeals of the Ger
man provisional government for
supplies of food and for permission
to address itself directly through a
commission to the American public,
officials here see purpose to excite
the sympathies of large element of
the American population, more or
less connected by blood ties with
Germany. With such synpathies
aroused, the German government, it
was said, undoubtedly hopes to in
fuence the approaching peace con-
ference towards leniency.
Such appeals as those which have
been sent by wireless by DR.. Solf,
German foreign secretary, to Sec
retary Lansing, were said to be
quite unnecessary and not likely to
have any beneficial results. Presi-
dent Wilson already has promised
to do everything possible to prevent
suffering among the civil population
of the conquered states. The en-
tente powers have endorsed this at
titude, not so much from considera-
tiopc ~ mercy or Svtnnathy with
the foe, as from a genuine convic-
ton that a starving and desperate
people would make dangerous
neighbors, render any satisfactory
peace impossible and by appeals to
the internationalist spirit endanger
the security of the entente couptries
themselves. The design of the con-
servation elements in the entente
