RECEIVER NAMED FOR THE
FARMERS DAIRY COMPANY

TO protect the interests Of the $50
or more stockholders of the Farmers
Dairy Co., a cooperative association
organized under the law Of Connecti-
cut, Judge Frank d. Haines of the
Superior Court today named George
A. Mckay of Danbury, receiver of
the company with authority to carry
on the business. This action was
taken on the petition of Col. j. Moss
Ives of Danbury, representing Clark
L. Page, Amos T. Camp, Edward
Lowell and William c Johnson of
Newtown, and others. They own
more than 10 per cent. of the capital
stock of the company.
The Farmers Dairy Co. has a milk
pasteurization and distributing station
in North avenue in this city, and
handles daily about $4,000 quarts of
milk contributed by the stockholders
OF the company and others.
The reason assigned for asking fo-
a receivership is that there is friction
between the stockholders regarding
the management of the company, and
U ii is deemed wise to suspend the
present MANAGEMENT that there may
Z be a thorough reorganization. While
this is in progress the business will be
continued by the receiver under tn
direction OF the court and all bill:

INFLUENZA DROPS
TO IS NEW CASES

The decline in the number of new
influenza cases in Bridgeport centinu-
ed today. In the past "a hours 35
cases were reported to the health au-
thorities, bringing the total number
of sufferers since the start of the epi-
demic to 500. Twelve deaths oc-
CURED in the same period and the IA
talities now total 427.

had little to say on the situation to-
day. The figures speak for them
selves" said the doctor, "and all I
can add to the numerical facts is that
we must continue to keep our heads
and not throw all precaution to the
Winds"
The school children of the city are
gradually returning to their classes,
and it is expected that within a week
normal attendance will have been re-
sumed Parents who had refused to
send their children to classes during
the height of the epidemic are becom-
ing confident that there will be no
further serious outbreak as the figures
continue to fall.
The present weather is great aid
to convalescents according TO DR..
Brown and they should be allowed to
get as much fresh air as possible, pro-
viding they are dressed properly and
do not exert themselves.

Gets OVATION IN
SENATE LOBBY

Paris, Nov. S-Premier Clemenceau
appeared for a moment last night in
the lobby of the senate after a sitting
of that body which had declared him
i'll traditional phrase, to have "deserv-
ed well of his country" The pre-
mier's approach to the group of sem
ators lingering after the adjournment
was the signal for an ovation to
him.
The Premier said:
Gentlemen: We are now coming
to a 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?"

Delirium.
NEWS OFFICIALLY
STAMPED FALSE
German Delegates Did Not
Cross Lines Until Last
Night.

New York, Nov. 8-Millions
of Americans realized today
that they had been hoaXed in
celebrating the end Of the war
by publication of the United
Press dispatches declaring the
armistice signed and fighting
ended.
Twenty-four hours have passed
since the country was thrown into a
delirium by these reports which de-
clared the armistice had been signed
at IL o'clock yesterday morning and
that fighting had ceased at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
Each hour brings added official evil
dence that the reports were false and
that the American people were fooled.
Not only have official communications
from France to the state department
at Washington denounced the reports
as untrue but the official reports Of
the French and British war offices
show the fighting still going on.
Far from signing an Arn1istice at IL
o'clock yesterday morning, the Ger
man delegates did not cross the AL
lied line until last night. This is re-
corded in Associated Press dispatches
filed in Paris at 424 o'clock this morn
ing. The German delegates were to
be conducted early today to the meet
ing place which is four hours journey
from LaCape1le, the place where they
crossed the Allied lines.
Fighting instead Of having ended at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon still was
going on last night. Furthermore,
Marshal Haig's communique this
morning reports an advance along the
active battle front with villages and
prisoners captured. Hours after the
fighting was falsely reported stopped
the American troops were smashing
their way forward on the Sedan front
and the only point in the whole battle
line where the firing seemed to have
stopped at all was at a point where it
was necessary to let the German COM
mtssioners pass through,

But the fact is established by official
record that no armiEtice was signed
at IL a. m. yesterday and fighting did
not end at p. m. yesterday.
The Associated Press did NOT re-
ceiVe nor distribute any of the des-
patches which misled the American
people into celebrating the greatest
hoax in recent years. On the other
hand, by investigation through off
cial channels, The Associated Press
was able to expose it.

Torrential Rains Falling
Hamper German
Retreat.
BAVARIA WANTS TO
WITHDRAW ARMY
Reaching of Sedan Closes
Gap in Southern
Border.
(By the Associated Press. }

Germany's armistice pleni-
potentiaries having entered the
French lines under a white
flag, last night, met Marshal
Foch at 9 o'clock, French time,
this morning. From him they
will receive the armistice terms
of the Allies and the United
States. The historic meeting
occurred in a little village in
the Department Of the Aisne.
In the meantime, fighting on the
western front has not ceased. The
western part of Sedan has fallen to
American forces. The historic city
was entered first by contingents of the
Rainbow and First Divisions, after a
thrilling dash northward against the
savagely resisting Germans. In max
ing this advance the Americans wiped
out rather dangerous salient which
had been formed between their posi-
tions and those of the French farther
west.
The reaching of Sedan definitely
closes the gap south of the Belgian
border through which the Germans
might attempt to withdraw their har-
ried columns, now in full retreat
from the region between the Disc
and the Aisne rivers. 1t marks the
elimination triumph of American
arms in the fighting going on since
September 2S. The Germans, realiz-
ing that the advance Of the Ameri-
cans on Sedan was fatal to their
chances of making an orderly retreat
eastward into German Lorraine,
brought up fresh forces to hold cum
ningIy constructed fortifcotions which
were erected to bar the progress of
Pershing's men. Their efforts were
unavaiIing. The first American army
has taken a very vital role in the
mighty offensive which has broken
Germanys strength in eastern
France.
British, French and American
troops maintain the pressure which i
has driven the enemy from many
pquare miles of French territory in
the past week. On the north the
British are moving on Maubeuge and
Mons and are less than three miles
from Maubeuge.
While the Americans command the
situation at Sedan, although they ap-
parently do not hold the entire city,
the French are pressing on toward
Mezieres and have occupied SfnglN
less than eight miles to the south,
Elsewhere on their front the French
armies continue the rapid advance of
the last three days, At no point are
the French more than thirty miles
from the Belgian frontier and at most
places the distance over which they
have to drive the invader is much
| less.
Torrential rains have been falling
over <the fields of France where the
British and French are in close pur-
suit of the Germans. This rain has
hampered the enemy's retreat very
seriously and, while it aIsp has
slowed down the Allied advance. the
Germans apparently are in grave dan
ger of being utterly crushed, The
British are seemingly within cannon
range of the railroads north and
northeast of Hirson, leading into Bel
gfun. If this is a fact, the Germans
must attempt to make good their es-
