When we began the as- cent the men would swing us up and down as they climbed, and at first l felt rather seasick, but soon got nsed to 1t, and enjoyed it. All the way along we
 traveied through an avenue of tall bam-
 boos with here and there a fir tree. Oc- casionally we turned a corner on a high precipice, where we could see the valley below and the hills around, covered with bamboo and looked like soft willow
 plumes of every shade of green Just
 at sunset we came out on high plateau and while the men rested We drank in the beauties of the scene. To the east lay the fertile valley, dotted here and there with small villages. and every- where hills; with a high range of noun tains in the distance with the sky above reflecting Nthe pinks, lavenders, blues
 and reds of the sunset. To the south more valleys, villages, canals, hills,
 mountains, and a heavily clouded sky above. To the north lay our pathway up the long avenue of bamboos and shrubbery. The west crowned the whole view with a glorious sunset behind l diStdIL IdiSS, Juot III ltpiit VI " 4'ASAi NNN' ! the Hangchow bay. The only thing 1 have ever seen any more beautiful was sunset on Puget sound or over the Gold en Gate.

 night, but stopped with a friend who had nice hot dinner waiting for us So after good dinner and hot bath, we slept the sleep of the just and awoke to new day feeling rested and thrilled by the scene from our windows. We came up to our own house next morn' ing and in a few days other members of our household joined us.

Miss Myra Bancroft Olive Former Popular Birmingham
 Musician, Writes M From Far Away China of Knitting
 For the Soldiers and Doing Valiant Red Cross Work
By DOLLY DALHYMPLE

NN UT of the orient--from far-away IW chInA-eomss :. message of sooa cheer and optimism from for
 mer Birmingham resident, Miss Myra Bancroft Olive, who is now making her home there.
 Miss Olive writes to our good friends,
 MT. and Mrs. William Gussen, with whom she did quite a bit of musical work when she was in Birmingham, her lovely voice being heard both in the choir at St Mary's and the choir of Temple Emanu- Fl when Mrs. Gussen was organist and
 director.
 Miss Olive always generously contrib
 uted her musical talents to all public enterprises during her residence in Bir-
 mingham and later when she became interested in the work of the Young Women's Christian association, for 1t
 was there she lived when she was in Birmingham, she rapidly assumed pres- tige with this organization and through her musical and athletic talents became identified with the Y. W. c. A. Miss Olive has been in China for two years now, and is with the Laura Hay good Normal school, at Soochow, where she has a five-years contract, teaching
 piano and physical culture, having stud- jed the latter at Columbia university. The letter to Mrs. Gussen, whose mu- sical ability and talent aided Miss~Ol in many instances, and drew them into sweet bond of friendship, is dated July 16, 1918, Mokanshau, and is as fol- lows:
 My Dear Mrs. Gussen: Away up in
 the mountains, away from schedule work, I find time in which to answer your letter of Feb. g. We left Soochow Monday, July l, and arrived in Mokan-
 shau Tuesday night, July 2 about 10 o'clock. We left Soochow in a small boat

The pulp and paper section of the
war board is contemplating control
of the marketing Of news print after
Dec. l to assure a supply to small
papers. It appears that the large
papers have been able to 'hog" the
supply while the smaller ones face
a serious shortage which threaten sus-
pension Of publication.
The government, realizing that the
end Of the war is near, is already
making plans for the return Of our
two million men from France. It
is figured that 650,0O0'men can be re-
turned each month and at that rate
the entire army could be returned in
80 days. Notwithstanding this fact,
General T. Coleman du Pont, who has
just returned from the front, esti-
mates that it will be fully two years
before all Of our boys are back. He
says that it will keep the Yankees
busy for a year removing the barbed
wire that the Huns have strung over
France. Of course, the actual work
will have to be done by Hun prisoners
who will be retained until all the dam
age done in France and Belgium is
repaired. The General asserts that
every hut in France will become uni
versity class room for our boys in
France the day peace is declared. The
boys will be given every educational
advantage under leading educators.

Germany is now alone. Bulgaria
quit. Turkey has been ont Of it for
week. And now Austria is thru.
Germany has just about played her
last tune.
Four German generals carrying
white flags arrived behind the Allied
lines this afternoon and are right now
considering the Allied terms for an
armistice. The terms have not been
made public but they undoubtedly are
as drastic as those exacted of Tur-
key, Bulgaria and Austria. 1t was
reported that the terms had been &C
cepted, but the Associated Press late
this afternoon says that Washington
declares that the terms Of the armis-
tice have not yet been signed. Ger
many is expected to do so, and it
would not be surprising at all if hos
tilities would cease at any time. Ger
many cannot last much longer, even
tho she turns down the Allied terms.
Reports today say that revolution
has broken out in Germany. Violent
artillery fighting is in progress in
the streets of Hamburg.
The Kaiser is still sticking to his
throne, tho he appears to have moved
it from Berlin to the General army
headquarters where he feels safer.
The Allies have been pushing the
Huns back all along the western front.
Foch will continue fighting until the
terms Of the armistice are accepted.
The Americans have taken Sedan with
5000 prisoners. In a great battle
with the Americans early in the week,
the German line crumbled and the
Huns fled pel nell. This was at
place where the Huns had concen-
trated their strongest forces. The
Americans had been pounding away
for four weeks at this strong point
and the Germans were simply out
fought. They were given no rest and
their fresh divisions being used up,
they had to retreat or surrender.

Our readers undoubtedly know by this

an American regiment, surrounded the
vast Austrian army of 10000, captur-
ing them together with 100000 horses
and thousands Of big guns, so there
was nothing else for them to do but
quit. The Italians chased the fleeing
AustTiaus until the last minute Of the
time was up before the armistice was
scheduled to take effect. BY the terms
of the agreement, all Allied prison.
ers are released, the Austrian navy
comprising several hundred ships Of
various kinds are either surrendered

trian soldiers lay down their arms
and the Allies get their ammunition
and supplies. German soldiers must
get out of Austria within Is days or
be informed. The Allies are given the
use of the Austrian railways and are

glad to cooperate.
