Tournai, an impor- tant railroad center in Belgium, on the line leading to Brussels, has been en- tered by the British, who are across the Scheldt with few barriers of great importance between them and Brus sels.

 Eastward the French still are driv- ing northward and have joined hands with the Americans in the western outskirts of Sedan. More prisoners and large additional quantities of war stores have been taken by the French.

Washington, Nov. .S.-The question , of whether Germany will surrender immediately, or wait to be crushed between the advancing allied and American armies on the west front and revolution at home, rested tonight with an extraordinary conference at German great headquarters. Marshal Foch has given until Ii o'clock Mon day morning, Paris time, for the an swer.
 At the conference the kaiser is re- ported to be, perhaps appearing for
 the last time as supreme war lord, and
 according to German wireless reports,
 defying the civilians who are seeking through submission to the inevitable

 Of an empire. A courier was due some time during the night with the text Of
 of the American and allied armistice
 terms, handed to the German envoSS
 behind the allied lines this morning py
 Marshal F'och. He carried the word,
 sent ahead by wireless, that the allied
 cOmmander-in-c chief had refused a
 provisional cessatio of hostilities and
 demanded an answer within 72 hours.
 The American government was ad-
 vised from Paris late today of the
 reception of the Germans by Marshal
 Foch at 10.35 o'clock in th& morning and it's result. Secretary Lansing jim mediately made the news public at the state department. Later unofficial in- formation of the movements of tine i German. courier and knowledge of the difficult roads over which he must travel for one hundred miles after leaving the allied lines, led to the conclusion that he could not get back with a reply before tomorrow even if not kept waiting for a decision
 In the meantime the result is await ed here with entire confidence and calm. American and allied military ! men say the end must come quickly one way or the other; that if the Ger
 mans are unable to agree among them i selves and accept the allied terms the i problem will be settled for them with 1 no great delay. Some believe tha t i acceptance is assured and will be i h&stened now that a final effort 10 l quibble with hostilities stopped is 1 ended. on the theory that even the i kaiser himself must realize that unless
 peace is made quickly there will be no 1 government in Germany to make it.

 MEAN END OF WAR

Camp Funston, .Kas., Nov, S.--Gen- following appeal to men of the Tenth division: .
 Even; if an armistice is signed, it does not mean the end of the war. It simply mean .sthat the terms of peace would. be discussed; they may or may not be agreed upon The work and training of the division will go'on with the same energy and spirit as hereto fore.
 There is nothing in the present situation which iustifies a change of procedure on our part and it is our duty to carry on war to an armistice until we receive instructions to the contrary"

strations started yesterday by the false report of the signing of the armistica led President Wilson to direct Secre- tary Lansing to announce that as soon a sany decision in regard to the ar.nis- tice was reached it you'd be made public immediately by the government and that any statement that news re- garding this event was being withheld was utterly false
 An interesting question was raised by the statement in the report U the American government on which Secre- tary Lansing based his statement that the German envoys came -ith fuil powers. Since the delegates did not use full powers either to sign or reject the terms, and instead referred them to grand headquarters, it was regard ed here as certain that they came with the hope of accomplishing some thing more than the signature of an armistice. It was believed their pur-
 pose was to inject matters which can
 be considered only at the peace con ference.
 It has been made very clear, how ever, and emphasized today in official despatches from France. that Marshal F'ocIl's powers were limi,el strictly 10 the drastic military program pres ? bed by the supreme war cornell a. Yer shi.
