coldest days of autumn. There was
no rain but a thick fog had come
over everything, cutting off our vi
sion for more than % yards. 1t gave
a fantastic view of the shell-riddled
ground, the dugouts and the gaunt
trunks Of shell-riddled trees.
The flashes from the mouths OF
the guns made red patches in the
fog.
The men jokingly dubbed the
thick mist a peace blanket"
The thick weather and the cam
cuhaged roads gave the battle field
a ghastly hue.
Not Surprised by News.
The American rank and file were
not surprised by the armistice de-
velopments. Following the abd.ca-
iton Of the kaiser on Sunday they
looked for the signing of the truce
but were curious TO learn the exact
hour of it. 1t was learned at head
quarters late Sunday night that the
armistice surely would be signed
Monday morning.
The army wires sizzled with the
news and American hello girls
were important factors in spreading
the momentous tidings
Arthur O'Neil a battery cook of
Eoston, left his kitchen in a dugout
to pull the lanyard of the last big
glir that the battery fired, remark
ing as he did so: This is the first
time I ever fired a cannon, but
guess my services are no longer re-
Quired."
Hard to Believe News.
News OF the signing of the arm
istice was received by the dough-
boys with unbounded JOY. The men
who had been fighting so valiantly
for days in rain and mud could
hardly believe the glad tidings.
French and American soldiers and
civilians In the rear zone gave vent
to their feelings with ringing cheers
The event stirred emotion in a way
difficult to describe. The news. had
been expected hourly and it worked
a queer contrast between the men on
the fighting front and those relaxing
in the rear zones.
Give Vent to Great JOY.
AS the final echoes from the last
salvo Of the guns died away the
doughboys began 10 waltz and two

into the air Stiu others gave a
Fourth OF July touch to the pro-

Hoover Tells
People Of U. S.
to Save Food
Stringent Conservation Still
Necessary if Nation is
to Help Feed World.
InternatIonal News servlce:

International News Service:
WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.-The
American people this afternoon were
called on TO exercise the most string
ent conservation to enable the
United States government during the
coming year 10 furnish 2O,OOO.OOO
tons OF fOodstuffs to the stricken
peoples of Europe.
In sounding the conservation call
this afternoon in an address to state
and federal food administrators
from all over the country. Food Ad-
ministrator Herbert Hoover pointed
out that the amount 10 be sent to
Europe during the coming year is
greatly in excess of our European
pre-war export of 6,O00,0 900 tons of
food and an export last year OF
eleven and a half million tons Of
food
To Furnish 60 Percent.
The food administration is esti-
mating that North America will fur
nish more than 60 percent Of the
world total of food needed this next
year. Mr.. Hoover said.
Mr.. hoover tOlu the tOOh auInln-
istrators of the amount Of food es-
timated TO be on hand in this coun-
try and the quantity that can be pro-
duced and cited those cases where
economy in consumption mnst be
observed.
The food administration in con-
junction with the allies has pro-
tected the sugar needs OF the Amer
lean people by purchasing the next
Cuban sugar crop. Mr.. Hoover di-
vulged. He said that arrangements
have been made with the refners
and producers Of the country to as
sure a price of nine cents a pound
wholesale for sugar during the next
year. as compared with u TO 20
cents a pound liz other sugar import
ing countries.
Sugar Situation Clears.
"As the result of these arrange
ments and the fact that eastern
sugars will be available. we will
need little or. perhaps no restraint
on sugar consumption after the new
Cuban crop is available. unless. as
I have said, the other governments
