the United Press and stated that
Germany has signed the armistice pre-.
sented them BY General Foch and that
fighting ceased at O'Clock yesterday,
European time, or at 8 O'Clock .. m.
central time. The telegram also stated
that the American army captured Sc
dan, the scene Of the close of the
France Prussian war, before the AZ
mistice was signed.
As the news Of the victory spread
among our people. bells rang, oil places
Of business closed. and an impromptu
program of open air speaking followed,
the celebration continuing for several
hours, closing with big bonfire the
material for which was furnished by
wrecking the old city hall, good job
quickly done by volunteer workers.

office as political plum without con-
sulting the bar or the citizenship of the

of anon-partisan judiciary. This feel

specially strong among democrats who
quite generally supported Taylor

About fifty years ago, he came 70

kovec, all Of Howard County. From
childhood, he was devoted member Of
the Catholic faith, and died in the full
consolation Of its last sacred rites.
About two weeks before his death,
he was taken with serious illness, and
all that medical skill and loving hands
could do was Of no avsil. He bore bis
cross patiently to the end and on Tues
day morning, Oct. q, 1918, he departed
this life.
John Wacha was an upright and hon
est man. q loving husband and kind
and generous father. He was ever
ready and willing to lend q charitable
hand to those whose need was greater
than his. h'
The funeral was held on Oct. 81, 1918,

least, that's the way it seemed to me
for couple of days. But the game as
l saw it was altogether one-sided. We
moved so fat that they had to leave q
large amount of supplies behind.
Many Of our boys are equipped with

their own.

be any worse than I had ut Camp

Believe me, it takes the Yanks to
whip the Huns. and we are right on
their heels. When a German sees q
Yank coming he gets yellow streak
up his back and runs like Il, and
they don't stop to look back when they
know there is Yank coming. 1t takes
the American soldiers to 60 over the
top; they amt sleeping on their job.
They think it is great sport to shoot
this kind of game.
Was down to the Y. M. c. A. last
night. They had good moving picture
show, sure was great. Ifit wasn't for
the Y. M. c.. A., the boys would die.
We get real American cigars and cigar

is saying 1t is the soldiers home oyer

Ithank you very much for your kind

l had q pretty close call to-day, q
shell dropped from the sky just about
10 feet from me, and believe me did
