There is a hideous reptile, known as
the fishing frog, which angles for Its
game as expertly and with as great
as the most adroit fly-isher.
He Is a clumsy, awkward swimmer,
but nature has compensated him for
his unwieldiness by furnishing him
with an equivalent for a rod and line,
with bait always ready for use. Two
elongated tentacles spring from his
nose, which taper away like actual
fshing.rods. To the end Of them IL at

serves the purpAse Of a line, a bait In
the form OF a shiny bit Of membrane.
The hooks are set In the mouth Of tho
fisherman below, and In order to In
duce the fish to venture within reach
Of them. the angler stirs up the mud
ut the bottom with his inns and tall.
This attracts the fish and ccnceals him

til forty EIGHT hours ago the western
battle 'front.' glowed with fires OF
peace last night. Signal rockets and
flares were used for fireworks by both
Germans and Americans, and am
munition boxes and waste wood serv-
ed for the making of huge bonfires.
which painted the sky red with the
glow of victory and peace.
The screech of rockets and songs
and shouts from the troops were the
only sounds to disturb what was 9TH
erwise the stillest night in four years.
The silence that followed the suspen-
sion of hostilities was uncanny in It's
intensity. For the first time since the
Yankees took up their position on the
firing line. there was no earth-shaking
cannonading.
Now the Yankees exchange greet
ings with the Germans who were but
few hours before their deadly enc.
mics. At many places along the front
a narrow strip of rough. wired ground
separates cur men from the Teutons.
There was some swapping OF souvenirs
and cigarettes. but no fraternizing.
The Germans revolled all night in
song and laughter. The sounds Of their
merriment reached the ears OF the
doughboys who were celebrating
themselves. The implements of war
and the great ammunition dumps sud-
denly seem strangely superfuous and
out of place. Officers and men were
either Teasing or sleeping. Ranquets
galore were held. One monster dinner
was given by the 147th air squadron.
It was attended by several hundred
aviators, riggers. armorers. and me-
chauicians.
The enthusiasm displayed was ex-
actly like that after victorious col
lege game. Speeches and songs delat
with victory. One blonde aviator turn

GERMAN VIEWS OF THE
ARM|ST|CE TERMS

Amsterdam. Nov 1.-THE following
excerpts from German press CONNIE mt
on the armistice terms reflect the stu
alton and feeling in the new republic.
Vorwarts (Sociaiist GO m e n t
organ): "rhe armi~tice terms are in
deed heavy, but after the downfall of
the old system there is no alternative
for the new government but to accept
them"
Tagehlatt: The terms are unprece-
denied in their lnhumanity. We are
ready to deliver fortresses and surren-
der ships, but In addition to these. great
quantities of railway rolling stock and
material and support of the forces OF
occupation are demanded. With these
terms to support. crisis Is nearing"
Tages Zeitung; The terms are mod
elled on those dictated by Rome to
Carthage. The people must now ask
the government for clear statement
of the measures II proposes to take to
meet this terrible catastrophe" .s..---.

STRIKE HAS
Been CALLED OFF
Company Refuses to Reinstate Men
Whose Discharge Brought About
Tic-up-Hold Outs Return
Today

Peace has been declared between
the American Express company and
its striking employees. An armistice
was signed late yesterday afternoon.
whereby the men are to return to
work this morning.
The terms. it is understood. make
no provision for the reinstating of two
employees who were discharged for
alleged gambling and whose dismissal
precipitated the walk-out.
The strike. while It lasted. Interior
ed seriously with the handling OF pro-
duce consigned to Cary street mer-
chants and, it was feared. would have
resulted in the public being compell-
ed to pay increased prices for pro-
duce on account OF a scarcity due to
the tie-up.
Many OF Richmond's merchants
complained that their business was
being seriously crippled on account
of inability to obtain produce to sat-
isfy their trade.
The following statement was issued
last night by an official OF the ex-
press company.
The strike Of express messengers
clerks. and employees of the Ameri-
can Railway Express company has
been settled by agreement between the
company officials and a representa-
tive of the United States Railroad ad-
ministration, mutually satisfactory to
