LET'S BRIGHTEN UP!
White Way Lights for Fair Week
Suggested by Mayor House.

"lnIe way IdSntS IOF FG1r week
Suggested by Mayor House.
Are the bright lights going to
burn on Kansas avenue during fair
week? Or will the thousands of visi-
tors in Topeka be deprived of the
privilege of seeing the avenue"
dressed up in it's glittering lights?
Perhaps c. H. Danner, county fuel
administrator. will see fit to let To-
peka go light hungry every day for
several weeks in order that the city
may step out in blaze of light for the
big week.
Mayor House this. morning sug-
gested in the meeting of the commits
sioners that some action be taken to
insure the presence of the lights for
the evenings during fair week Com
missioner Newland is going to take up
with Danner the question of allowing
these lights to lend their glitter to the
festive occasion. It's up to Danner.
Perhaps he will permit Topeka to save
light all the rest of the winter in order
to have this one wild fling of extrava-

The American and allied governments
actually have recognized the Social
Democratic government at Berlin,
headed by Frederick Ebert at the d..
facto government of Germany by con-
ceding its authority to authorize th2
armistice delegates to sign that docu
ment. But developments in Germany
have caused apprehension that Russian

SURRENDER OF EVERY VESSEL

Washington, Nov. e12.-Control of tho
German fleet by revolutionists, fac.
tions of whom are reported to have
urged resistance to the allies and Uni =,
ed States, may interfere with the ear
rying out of the amended armistice
provision that vessels designated to be
interned be ready to leave German
ports seven days after cessation OF
hostilities.
At the end of the seven day period,
which will expire at midnight neNt
Sunday, the designated units of the
fleet, the armistice provides, must be
completely disarmed. Prompt action,
even under normal conditions, would BE-
required of the German naval forces "a
disarm vessels of the battle cruisers
and battleship type within seven day
naval experts here said. In some quar-.
ters tonight fear was expressed that
with the German navy ma disorgan-
lied condition owing to the revolution
the necessary preparations for turning
over the vessels might not be complet
ed in the period specified.
Action to be taken by the allies and
the United States in event the vessels
were not prepared for surrender at the
expiration of the allowed period was
not indicated tonight by officials. II
such event only two courses were re
garded as open-either extension by
agreement of the time period or forci
BILE seizure. Should forcible seizure bs
necessary it was thought resistance by
the disorganized crews would be O
hopeless endeavor.
In discussing today the naval terms
of the armistice, Secretary Daniels said
the allied and American navies were
prepared fully to deal with any situa
tion that might arise. He said that ne
intimation of the reported defiance
from the revolutionists had come
through any naval channel.
Pending completion of the surrender
of the ships demanded and disarminl
of others and particularly while any
submarines remain in German hands
Secretary Daniels said there will be n:
relaxation in the protection Of troor
ships and other vessels.

Whistles Blow and Bells Ring
While People Make Merry
Because War Ends
AUTOMOBILES PARADE

As soon as it became known in Glen
wood last Monday morning that the
war had been brought to an end
through the capitulation of Germany
and the signing of the armistice which
the allies had submitted, there was an
outburst of enthusiasm which spread
like wildfire and took possession of all
our people who abandoned business and
declared for gala day in honor or the
glad tidings.
Amid the screeching of the whistles
and the ringing of the bells and various
and sundry outbursts of joy by private
individuals, Mayor Kirwan conferred
with a few of our citizens and q
thanksgiving program was hastily ar
ranged which included an automobile
parade through the city at one clock,
terminating at the flagpole at the cor
ner of Ninth and Grand where =
speakers stand was provided.
News having reached the authorities
that number of Carbondale citizens
were on their way in several cars, Com
pany l. National Guards was delegated
to meet them and escort them to the
meeting.
After prayer by Rev. Pepper, Mayor
kirwan introduced Rev. johnson who
attended to the kaiser and all his SYM
pathizers in splendid fashion, paying
his respects in no uncertain manner %
those who choose to write their name
with Won prefix. =.
Father Carrigan then made an e1-
eellent patriotic address, closing his re-
marks with an appeal to all to do their
part in the United War Work campaign
which was beginning on that day.
The meeting adjourned and all went
about their way to celebrate the big
event in individual fashion The i'm
provised band led many enthusiasts
through the streets for many hours,
ending at the ball park where the kaiser
was cremated with fitting ceremonies.
Practically every business house in tho
town was appropriately decorated in
the national colors, and in the one or
two exceptions there was little
rough stuff and the owners were
made to wish they had fallen into line
and shown a proper patriotic spirit.

HAVE WE QUIT THEM?

Glenwood Springs has approximately
U. S. military and navy. We have sew
eral boys who have been sending hot
shot into the German ranks for several
weeks. They kept sending death pills
into the ranks of the Huns until the
hands on the watches showed the min-
ute to cease hostilities. They NEVER
QUIT until the enemy has aeknowl-
edged defeat. The past few months
have been busy times for these boys.
They had plenty of excitement, but
now that the Huns are fleeing back
to their homes and the boys are forced
to routine duties which will become
irksome, it is up to us to stay with
them and see that they have plenty Of
pleasant things to employ their time.
Their thoughts are now Of home and
home folks. We cannot 20 to them;
they cannot pick up and come back to
us. Therefore, we must take home
things to them and this is done
through the various organizations
which this week have been raising
money to pay the expense.
Glenwood Springs MUST RATSH
HER QUOTA of this fund. We must
no more quit the boys than they quit
us. 1t will be many months before all
of them are home again. We entered
the war to stay until the finish. The
finish comes when the boys come homo.
Let us stick and dig up the onsy
needed, or they will ask IL We have
quit.
Our quota in Glenwood is 45, 900.
We have raised 42,500.

DIR. soLF COMPLAINS BITTERLY

Washington, Nov. 12.-The new note
addressed to President Wilson by DR..
SOlf, the German secretary, asking
President Wilson to arrange immedi-
ately a preliminary peace had not
reached Washington tonight in official
form. When it does come it will be
considered in connection with the com
munication received today through the
Swiss minister asking the president to
intervene to mitigate the Fearful con-
ditions' of the armistice.
DIR. Solf s object in again addressing
the president, it is assumed here, is to
secure an immediate peace conference
for the purpose of discussing some of
the terms of the armistice, which in
his note he said threatened starvation
and ruin in Germany.
Officials are satisfied DIR. Solf is
needlessly alarmed, as the terms Of the
armistice provide "the allies and the
United States should give considera-
tion to the provisioning of Germany
during the armistice to the extent rec
ocnized as necessary 1t is said that
to that end such rolling stock and ships
as MAJ be necessary will be put into
use.
DR.. Solf's request for the fastening
of a preliminary peace" may mean
the German government wishes to leave
to later time, and possibly to see.
ond peace conference, the permanent
settlement of the great issues involved
in President Wilson S fourteen terms
and the principles he has enunciated
since they were laid down. Such sug
gestion, it is said, would be without
precedent.
1t was pointed out today there are
physical difficulties in hastily conven.
ing a peace conference which will in
clude representatives of all the nation
which have formally declared war on
Germany. A conference limited to en-
voys of the allied governments and the
United States might be held at a reas
onably early date, perhaps within n
month, if it is limited in scope to few
urgent issues.
One consideration in the minds OF
official relates to the status of the
German government itself. The presi

TERMS OF THE ARMIs7|cE

The whole world rejoiced last Mon
day morning when the wires carried
the glad tidings everywhere that Ger
many had capitulated, accepting Amer
lea s peace terms, as approved by the
allied nations and as slightly modified
by General Foch, and that special
delegation from German headquarters
had visited Gen. Foch under flag OF
truce and had signed the armistice
which the allies had presented.
AT 10 o'clock Monday morning Pres
ident Wilson issued the following brief
proclamation notifying the American
people that the peace terms had been

men who had been longest in the ser
vice should be released first, but their
industrial situation and the special need
for men of certain calling probably
will modify the principle of making
length of lservice guide to order Of
muster out.
Labor department officials are conf
dent that the demobiliaztion of the 4 :
100000 men now under arms at home
and overseas and the conversion of
industry to its peace status will not
cause any serious problem of un-em'
ployment.

HOW NOW ABOUT
me UND GOTT"

London, Nov. l2.-Brltlsh newspapers
give prominence to some of the
kaiser's utterances during the war.
In 1914 he said:,
Before the leaves fall from the
'Tees we shall be back again in the
dear fatherland. Exterminate first the
treacherous French and walk over Gen
eral French IS contemplate little army.
You, my troops, are my garrison, and
can dictate peace to my enemies. Up
and at the foes.
Goods goodness will guide the Ger
man people through battle to victory =
to the goal appointed for the German
people by Providence. | have drawn
the sword, which, without victory and
without honor, ! cannot sheathe. To
the dust with all the enemies of Ger
many! Amen!"
In 1918 he said:
"Our brave soldiers have shown
themselves invincible in battle against
bh' "h'lt ht Wal
drama is now coming to its close.
My de tructive sword has crushed
the Rhssiai :. In a short while | will
announce new victories. In a lust cause
| am ready to force myself to be
cruel.'
In 1916 he said:
The world was prepared for any
thing, but never for victory of the
German fleet over the British. Fear
| will creep into the bones of the enemy.
Bucharest has been taken. What Il
magnificent success on the road 20
complete victory!
with Gods help Germany is in
vincible, in spite of the superior num-
bers of our enemies, and every day
| confirms this anew. The foe is defend
ing his native soil foot by foot. This
is the resistance of despair, but it must
be broken. He has prepared his soup
and now he must sup it.
"All Germany contemplates with
pride her brave sons whose deeds, with
Gods help, will be landmark on the
road to victory.'
In 1917 he said
eff the enemy does not want peace,
then we must bring peace by battering
in with the iron fist and shining sword
the doors of those who will not have
peace. Victory in the coming year will
again be on our side and that of our
allies.
"1f only we cast the burden on the
Lord He will smite the foe hip and
thigh as He did Amalek, the prototype
of perfidious England. The enemy has
got to stake his men until, exhausted
he lays down his arms. England il
particularly the enemy to be struck
down, however difficult it may be.
"The year 1917, with its great bat.
ties, has proved that the German people
have in the Lord of Creation above an
unconditional and avowed ally, on
whom they can absolutely rely"
In June, 1918, he said:
"God has laid heavy burden ON my
