What the Huns win Pay.

The peace conference will be held
in the near future, possibly at Brus
sells, Belgium Among the bills ger
many will be asked to pay is five bill
lion to Belgium, one billion for re-
storing northern France, half bil-
lion TO restore Servia, a quarter of a
billion to restore property destroyed
by air raids in England, a billion for
sinking merchantmen without warm
ing at sea and numbering passengers
and crew, making a total of seven
and three--quarter billions.
The details include the destruction
of the Rheims cathedral, destruction
of Frances vast orchards, partial
destruction of more than 500 towns
and villages in Belgium and France:
demoliation of public buildings and
priyates structures in London and a
score of English cities; and sinking
of the Lusitania' and twenty million
more tons of shipping.
There is revolution spreading in
the north of germany, and around
Hamburg but at last@accounts the
kaiser and his sons are still safe.

THE GREATEST VICTORY IN THE
HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
(By Rev. Charles Quinn) }

Never since the Son of Man hung
on the cross, and cried 1T is Finish
ed" has news of such far-reaching
import flashed over the wires, as
came Thursday morning, November
7th, 1918, that Germany had un-
conditionally Surrendered" For four
and one-half years have these bloody
autocrats tried by every means that
ingenuity of man and science of dev-
lis could bring forth, to force their
tyranical Wills on the world.
But germany has surrendered.
Such q spectacle. Ye gods! Words
fail to describe the feelings OF con-

once mighty nation.

Large indemnities will no doubt bt

cannot atone for their crimes.
Germany and Austria Hungary ar,
ruined forever No one can SPEAK
these names again without shud
der. All past glory and achievement
is eclipsed by the black shadow O
their objectionable crimes.
But what of the victors?
Belgium has gained fame that

WILL INVESTIGATE
Possibility of an Alien Enemy a
Work Is Suggested

Washington, Oct. 16-A naval
board of inquiry is Investigating the
sinking of the transport America at
her Hoboken dock early yesterday
morning on the eve of sailing for
France with troops.
Even the temporary removal of a
22,G22-ton transport from service is
recognized as a real loss, and the Am
erica was one of the largest vessels
engaged in transporting troops to
the other side.
There was much speculation by
army and navy men here as to Whet-
her an enemy alien among the crew
or mechanics at work on the ship may
have been responsible for the listing
of the America. The inquiry will be
rigid, responsibility placed and quick
action will follow the findings.
New equipment will be furnished
the men compelled to leave their be-
longings behind in the scramble tc
get off the steamer to save their lives

IT WAS ONLY AN

The Peace Rumor Started and End
ed in a Newspaper Office

Amsterdam, Oct 16-The Nieuwe

a special edition giving the report
that Germany had capitulated and
that Emperor William had abdicat-
ed.
A few hours later came the fol-
lowing:
Amsterdam, Oct. 16-The Nieuwe
Rotterdamsche Courant has with
drawn it's statement reporting the
capitulation of Germany and the alb
dication of Emperor William. This
step was taken, the newspaper says
because it was unable to obtain any
confirmation of the report
London, Oct. 16-The Officia
Press Bureau is officially informed
that the reports published this af
ternoon to the effect that German,
has capitulated have no foundation il
fact
