Certain Of Signing.


by Carl D. Groat. United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov 7.-Signing
OF the German armistice terms was
regarded here today as certain and
imminent.
There was no official confirmation
however. early today OF reports that
the signing had already occurred.
The government proposes to make
public the important tidings as quick
1y as they come. 1t seemed likely that
no news as to the nature Of the terms
would be given officially until the
German news commission reported as
passing the allied lines had taken
action.
It was suggested at the state de-
partment that this commission might
wire back to Berlin the nature of the
terms before getting full authorize
ton to sign or reject
Signing seemed to authorities about
the only course sanely open to the
enemy Rejection is scarcely given a
thought though IL Germany elects that
course. United Statesallied war plans
contemplate punishment that will
Bring the German to his knees. As
seen here the German nation is too
STEPPED in the idea OF peace. too dis
couraged at its allies detection,
too battered at the front and too GER
tain Of ultimate crushing defeat to
balk at this late moment.
Once the armistice is signed 1t is
likely that the whole German system
will relax into an upheavel that will
sweep the kaiser out provided he has
not already abdicated, according to
the view of the state department au-
thorities.

II have to report that the plumbing

said City Plumbing Inspector Jesse p.
icKay TO the Street and Sewer Depart
ent today. "snd the extra heavy pip
ls required by city ordinances has
been used"
IL Will be remembered that govern
ment officials asked the city to set aside
the law and allow medium heavy un-
derground piping TO be used in the
work. The Street and Sewer directors
today expressed themselves as graft
fed by the governments decision TO
respect the city regulations and to
comply in the matter OF the extra
heavy piping. For a time II looked as
though the government would oyerrule
the city and use medium piping un-
derground. and this has led TO a flood
Of requests from local plumbers TO be
allowed 10 have the same privilege as
the government was taking Now the
matter Is settled for all concerned.
The Union Paving Company was ex-
pected TO begin work on the paving OF
Delaware avenue yesterday. but had not
appeared on the Job at noon today.
However. there are gas and water pip
ing matters still TO be done, so the
street was not quite ready for paving.
The work OF moving back the buildings
and the new sidewalk laying Is pro-
crossing rapidly. Paving OF the street
bed will probably begin tomorrow.
The directors today gave first reading
10 a resolution establishing the curb on
the northeast side Of Delaware avenue,
between Van Buren and Harrison
streets, 10 remove the Offset there.
The board also passed a resolution
allowing the Diamond Ice and Coal
Company TO build a siding joining the
