Red Cross boxes go around the
world.
They carry food and medicine
comforts and surgeons knives, the
handiwork OF women who knit and
fold and sew through long hours OF
anxious waiting for news that seems
never to come, the work OF little
children, the gifts OF men.
And they carry all these things a
long, long way.
A trainload OF Red Cross supplies
for hard-pressed Roumana made
the Journey from Murmansk, Rus-
sian port on the Arctic sea, to Jassy,
the war capital OF Roumania, few
weeks ago. The boxes came from
America. They travelled more than
5000 miles before they reached their
destination in Roumanian hospitals
and refugee stations.
In Juneau, Alaska, there IS a
fourishing Red Cross chapter. ne

DENOUNCE FAKE REPORT
Editors Demand an Investigation
Of Publication That Armistice
Was Signed.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The responsibility for the perpetra-
ton yesterday of the most fragrant
and culpable act of public deception
in the whole history of news gather
ing and dissemination appears to be
divided between the Paris office of the
United Press and the censor there,
who sanctioned the transmission of
the false dispatch reporting that the
armistice had been signed. Somewhere
there was blame, for which mere CEN
sure will not be held to be a sufficient
penalty. 1t is to be assumed that
searching official inquiry will disclose
the culprit, and that punishment ap-
propriate to the offense' will be in
flicted. 1t should be noted that the
United Press, a private corporation
selling news to afternoon newspapers,
is not connected with and is very diff
ferent from the Associated Press
which is a cooperative organization
of the leading newspapers of the coun-
try, operated without profit and con-
trolled by the newspapers themselves.

 'TWe have ceased war making and will not be a toy in the. hands of this or that imperialism" Kameneff de- clared in a speech to the Moscow sov- jet. "We are surrounded by an iron ring and the only salvation for us is to adhere to our original policy. The working men of Russia must fight for complete independence"
 Discussing Norway and Sweden, where Kameneff recently visited. he said. "They are, neutral only as to this war and not neutral to sociolistic Russia. We socialists have no allies, no friends and no neutrality"

----W. 5. S.---- RECEPTIVE FRAME OF MIND.

Unconfirmad rlmOrs that the Ger mans had surrendered and peace had been declared reached Pine Bluff via the ''rumor source" yesterday after noon, and immediately everyone was astir. The majority gave credence to the reports arising from no where in particular" and being scattered ev- anywhere in general.
 Unusual news of any description travels fast. Either true or untrue. It is so even in the midst of small, large or still larger communities re- garding city, business or domestic af- fairs.
 Let some one start rum0r, the more improbable and impossible, all the better for the quick circulation of the news.
 The people have been told through tht newspapers and through other mediums that the Germans were to accept the terms That there was no other alternative. This statement was followed up that the world would know in forty eight hours. Next the news that the German armistice terms had reached the western front. Then came the greatest report or rumor of all-the GERMANS HAVE ACCEPT ED THE TERMS.
 The peoples mind had been made receptive for the reception of the news in advance. They were expect ing it. Certain news agencies or med iums "had hunch," and a further "hunch" that the peoples were ready for such a statement, regardless of the accuracy of the statement.
 As consequence the papers play ed up the story. Those papers that were members of these agencies sup plying the "dope."
 However, it will be noticed that no newspaper carrying the Associated Press service ran "scarce extras" :" When the news is an established fact the papers served by this news source will print the news, just exactly how r it occurred and the exact details. The Associated Press never misses true news item-it misses thousands of stories-those having no semblance of truth or fact.

WINDY CITY DOES THINGS
 IN A GRAND STYLE

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Chicago stood still and shrieked with joy today in a premature celebration of peace.
 The report of the end of the world war, flashed over the city by the toll- ing of bells and the blowing of whis- ties, was started by a newspaper dis patch which was not carried by the Associated Press.
 Later dispatches from Washington and London officially announcing that the armistice had not yet been signed failed to halt the crowds surging thru streets while with tons of scrap paper thrown from office buildings.
 All departments of the city hall, the courts, stores, offices, munitions plants and factories were closed and their workers turned the downtown section into carnival place.
 At one place two hundred gallon casks of wine were placed in the street and everyone was invited to the "death- of the kaiser.
 A shop which closed it's doors for the afternoon displaying mourning wreath with the sign: "The Kaiser is dead" One parade was led by figure in chains representing the kaiser.
 At many points the police were forced to use their clubs to control
