French Ship Arrives at Atlantic Port,
Under Impression War Is Ended.

which caused the captain to order
paint scraped from the vesseps port
holes, to permit illumination Of the
decks. While the contents of the wire
less message were not known to the
passengers, many of them landed, with

concluded with Germany and that

proclamation Of the supreme chancel-
lor, will mobilize in Castle halls an /

From every hamlet over the great
North American continent and from
every subordinate lodge have gone

OF them have already made the
supreme sacrifice. Others are in the
