CHAPTER Il-continued.

The window was open and she went
to it and looked out A breath Of
honeysucllle blew in Then, below, on
the porch, she heard the uneasy move
ants of Prince And he whned.
oh. poor Princey! He doesn't
know what's become of me-" thought
Carolyn May.
Downstairs, in the great kitchen,
Aunty Rose was stepping back and
forth. from table to sink, from sink to
dresser, from dresser to pantry. AS
the daylight faded she lit the lamp
which swung from the ceiling and
gave light to all the room.
It would have been impossible for
the wisest person to guess what were
the thoughts in Aunty Roses mind.
A glad little yelp from the dog tied
to the rail of the porch sounded sud-
denly. Even Aunty Rose could not
mistake that cry of welcome and she
knew very little about dOgs-t0 their
credit, at least. She had heard no
other suspicious sound, but now she
crossed the room with firm tread and
opened the porch door. Yes, a little
white figure was down there hugging
the whining mongrel.
Carolyn Mays fearful face was
raised from Princes rough neck.
"Oh, Aunty Rose! Oh, Aunty Rose :"
she sobbed. II just had to say good
night to somebody. Edna's mother
came and heard our prayers and tucked
us into my bed after my papa and
mamma went away. So it didn't seem
so bad.
But tonight-wby! tonight there
isn't anybody cares whether ] go to
bed or not But Prince Prince, he
knows just how-how empty feel p
you would better come in now and
wash your face and hands again be
fore going to bed. That dog has been
tapping them with his tongue.
Sobbing, the little girl obeyed. Then
she would have gone back up the
stairs without a word had not Aunty
Rose spoken.
Come here, Carolyn May" she said
quite as sternly as before.
The little girl approached her. The
old lady sat in one of the straightest
Of the straightforward chairs, her
hands in her comfortable lap. The
wet blue eyes were raised to her com
posed face timidly.
IF YOU wish to say your prayers
mere, before going upstairs, you may,
Carolyn May" she said
"0h. may II" gasped the little girl.
She dropped her hands into Aunty
Roses lap. Somehow they found those
larger, comforting hands and cuddled
INTO them as the little girl sank to
her knees on the braided mat.
II the simple Now l lay me" was
familiar to Aunty Roses ear from
long ago she gave no sign. When the
earnest little voice added to the for
mai supplioatiOn desire for the bless
Ang OF Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose
the latter's countenance retained its
composure.
She asked blessing upon all her
friends, including the Prices and even
Fnnce. But it was after that she put
l1e umid question to Aunty Rose that
proved to be almost too much for that
good woman's studied calm.
Auoty Rose, do you s'pose 1 might
ask God to bless my mamma and
papa even if they are lost at sea
somehow I don't think it would seem
80 lonesome if l could keep that in
MY prayer"

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. - With

United States went to war was an
nounced today by George Creel, chair
man of the committee on public in
formation after conferences with Sec
retaries Baker and Daniels.
Mr. Creel issued this statement:
1T has been agreed that there is no
further necessity for the operations of
the volunteer censorship under which
the press has guarded from the enemy
the military policies, plans and troops
movements of the United States. The
agreement may be considered as no
longer binding. and the card carrying
the request of the government is here
with cancelled.
THE secretary of war and the sec
retary of the navy and all others con
cerned with the directions of Amer.
ica's war efforts join in sincere &C
acknowledgement of the debt of graft
tude owing to the press of the United
States from the honorable discharge
of the high responsibility. Without
force of laws and under no larger COM
pulsion than their own patriotism the
overwhelming majority of newspapers
have given unfaltering obedience to
every desire of the government in all
matters of military secrecy carrying
through successfully tremendous ex-

Defeated Armies Join in Cheers
When News of Vars End Comes

A slender pink-cheeked machine
gunner said: Yes, know the Kaiser
has abdicated"
Instantly young aristorcat raised
his voice: There will be no revolu-
ton in Germany. A new emperor
will succeed
An uproar Immediately arose. The
speaker was drowned out by protect
ing voices. Then the Germans began
offering the Americans such news and
gossip as they knew. The approach
of an officer broke up the conversa-
tions.
Tonight the Germans are celebrat-
ing peace along the lines by firing
flares, rockets, and signal lights. The
night is uproarious with their cheer
ing. The victorious, Americans are
taking it more calmly. Along the
front the majority of them are getting
a good nights restful sleep.
Behind the lines in towns brilliant
ly lighted for the first time in four
years. French and Americans are pa
rading the street arm in arm, singing
THE Marseillaise, The StarSpan-
gled Banner and French and Ameri-
can war songs.

WAR fund DRIVE FALLING
SHORT OF QUOTA HERE

The report of the United War Fund
campaign workers made at the Y. NJ.
c. A. Thursday dropped from $15, ,459
Wednesdays sum, to Sl0,962 80. This
amount is unworthy of the patriotism
and wealth of Wayne county in the
opinion of the officials of the cam
paign. who see possibilities of the
county falling short Of it's 100000
quota. The present grand total for
the work up 10 Thursday is $26, ,42190.
1t has been hoped to obtain the quota
by Friday noon.
IF We do not succeed in securing
our quota by tomorrow noon. We will
have to make, another canva ss.' Com
mander-in-chief Lontz. and acting Sec
retary George Eggemeyer said.
Before last Sunday" said Com
mander Lontz. Il had in mind only
the physical reconstruction of Europe
i did not understand the extent to
which this United War Fund money is
to be used but after hearing Lieuten-
ant Roselli. | saw it in broader way.
Do you understand. gentlemen. that
the policing of Europe must be done
by America? 1t cannot be done by the
soldiers of other countries or they
will be accused of self interests-they
cannot break UP Germany and Aus
tria, and manage the situation in Rus
sia. for the same reason. The United
States must do it. Are we going to
let our boys suffer during that time?
"One man said this morning when
asked to subscribe to the campaign,
4 can not, you know ! must look out
for myself. Another prominent and
wealthy business man gave 81, gentle
men, and he is a man who has made
a lot of money out of this war What
is our money in comparison to one
day spent by our men in the trenches :?
Are the people of Wayne county
going to show their gratitude to these
men who have suffered for us-for
the 81 dead Wayne county boys?
There are 92 counties in Indiana
and 81 of them have gone over with
this camraign already but what about
Wayne county? According to the last
statement of the banks, there is
$40, 0,00o,e 600 out at interest That means

raise our quota"

PARIS, Monday. Nov. 11-When
dawn came this morning there
was no hint of the cessation of hos
tilities East of the Meuse, regardless
of the situation, the American Second
Army attacked in force at s o'clock.
The onslaught was preceded by a
tremendous barrage, which was re-
turned in kind by the enemy. For
three hours the Americans swept for
ward, hurting themselves against the
wire entanglements.
The German sunfire was devastat-
ing. Then. at exactly one minute of
eleven, like final thunder crash at
the clearing of a storm, the guns on
both sides abruptly ceased.
The silence was more startling than
the deafening roar of the barrage. For
brief minute intermittent rife fire
followed. Then came a pause, punctu-
ated by cheers from the trenches on
both sides of the line.
What followed On one sector was
perhaps one of the most singular
events Of the war Against the sky
line figures were suddenly silhouetted.
They appeared cautiously at first, but
soon, growing bolder all along the line,
they stood upright. These were Ger
mans.
Sudden Roar of Cheering.
The Americans We're not so eau
tious. AS the barrage died. ending in
a final husky rumble in the distance
from the big guns, runners went
springing along the firing line. Instat-
ly comprehending. the whole line Of
doughboys leaped from trenches. fox
holes and shell craters. splitting the
unaccustomed silence with a shril
cheer The roar of voices was like
an outburst at some great college con-
test in America when a contestant
scores a noteworthy play.
Strange to relate. the defeated enc

At one minute before eleven it would
have meant death to show ones self

ute after the hour, the rolling plain
was alive with cheering, shouting men.
friend and foe alike. Not many min
utes later Germans and Americans
were coming along the narrow stretch
of ground. SO fiercely fought over,
some shyly and awkwardly. like en-
barrassed schoolboys.
The first advances were followed by
offers from the Americans of cigar
cites. chocolate and chewing gum.
The Germans in some places recipro-
Gated with offers OF hot coffee, bread
and sausage.
The orders forbidding fraternizing
were strict, but the novelty of the sit
uation at times overcame prudence,
and doughboys surreptitiously visited
nearby enemy dueouts. Along the
barbed wire at a road crossing some
doughboys and Germans began brisk
barter for souvenirs. The Germans

FOR COMMITTEE
CHARM ANSHlP
Indiana Republicans Are
Mentioned for Appoint
j ments in Next Congress.

Several of the Indiana Republican
congressman now holding seats are
being considered for chairmanships of
important committees when the Sixty
sixth congress convenes in December,
1919
The Republicans will control the
house in the next congress by ma
jority of over forty. 1t is an assured
fact that the overwhelming Republican
victory N Indiana ut the elections
this month, when the Republican can
ddate in each of the thirteen con-
gressional districts was elected, will
be substantially recognized by the
party leaders in congress when the
reorganization of the house commit
tees is taken up.
Representative Richard N. Elliott of
the Sixth Indiana district, has been
mentioned for chairman of the com
mittee on woman suffrage. Mr.. Elliott
favors suffrage for women and when
the woman suffrage committee was
created last winter he was appointed
to it. At that time he was one of the
junior Republican members of the
committee, being outranked by Repre-
sentative Meeker of Missouri and Rep
resentative Jeanette Rankin of Mon
tana. Mr.. Meeker died several weeks
ago and Miss Rankin will not be a
member of the next congress, conse-
quently Mr.. Elliott is now in line for
the craftsmanship. Mr. Elliott is also
a member of the very important COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
and it is probable he will continue his
membership of that committee in the
next congress.
Representative Bland of the Second
district has been mentioned for the
craftsmanship of the committee on in
dustrial arts and expositions. Repre-
sentative Vestal of the Eighth district
probably will be chairman of the com
mittee on expenditures in the depart
ment of agriculture. Representative
MoCres of the Seventh district is men,
toned for the Craftsmanship of either
the committee on revision of the law
or elections committee No. /. Repre-
sentative Wood of the Tenth will be
given a position on the committee on
appropriations, which is equivalent to
chairmanship.
