BURN FRENCH HOMES
Towns Wantonly Destroyed and
Water Supply Defiled.
Huns Caught Red-Handed in Crime
Far From Line of
Fighting.

With the French Army- in Cham
pagne.-Detachments of engineers
from General Gouraud's army In ex-
ploring the region from which the
Germans have been driven in this Sec
tor have discovered in many villages
evidence of the method by which the
destruction of dwellings, churches and
other public buildings was organized.
The region along the Retourne
abounds with indications of willful de-
vastation of villages that were never
within range of artillery, but were
found razed. In others where houses
were still erect they were mined for
slow destruction, while the purely
military installations, such as barracks
built by the Germans for their own
troops, were left intact.
Orders for the burning of Junville,
a large village in the Valley of the
Retourne, arrived on the day of evacu-
alton. The people pleaded with the Of
fcers to spare their homes, but the
torch was put to every house. The
village was one vast brazler when the
French entered 1t. Mont st. Remy
shared the same fate.
At Neuvillc, where a villager i'm
plored that his home might be spared
an officer replied:
81 know 1t is an ignoble task, but
such are our orders"
Chatelet, Alincourt, Bignicourt ant
vile -Sur-Retourne were partly savet
because the French troops pressed the
Germans there so closely that the sap
pers left behind to do the work wer,
surprised. Some of these men fled be
fore they could set Off the mines which
had been prepared. Others were cap
turcd.
II has been necessary from Frencl
sappers and miners to explore the Gel
lar of every house remaining intact II
this region. Under most of then
mines have been found. Mouths o
wells were so mined that explosion
would fill them with rock and earth.

Dear Bogie:
1t isn't often that | write you,
but have seen the blue mark on
my paper which when subscrib-
ing for it some months ago l
dlnn't expect to see, as | then
expected to be in France before
this time. | will miss it very
much and and am sorry not to
renew my subscription. |, like
several of the boys have said, am
always glad to get copy, as it
is like a letter from home. AL
though small it has contained in
the past months much that has
been inspiring and full of patrl-
otism, and one had only to read
it to know that its publisher was
wholehearted in the cause in
which we are engaged in this
war. | am glad to see the work
the people Of Morgan county are
doing in the way of financial sup
port.
am in the embarkation camp
and will leave probably before
you read this; we are not allow
ed to know. | am glad to be GO
ing, but naturally it makes a man
have a sad thought occasionally
upon leaving his country that he
would give his life for if need be.
| don't think my time ovea there
will be long, as the Germans
have seen that they were wrong
, in saying The Americana won't
} fight"
Hoping to see you after it is all
, over, and wishing the Courier
! crew all success, | remain,
Respectfully yours,

WashingtOn.-The world war is
ended. The armistice was signed
by the German representative.
This announcement was made by
the State Department. The an
nOuncement was made verbally by
an official Of the State Department
In this form: "The armistice has
been signed. 1t was signed at
o'clock a. m. Paris time The
terms of the armistice, it was an
nOunced, will not be made public
until later. Military men here,
however, regard it as certain that
they include:
Immediate retirement OF the Ger

Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine.
Disarming and demObliization Of
the German armies.

American forces Of such strategic
points in Germany as viii make
impossible a renewal of hOstilities

Release of Allied and American
soldiers, sailors and civilians held
prisoners in Germany, without such
reciprocal action by the associated
governments.
There was no information as TO
the circumstances under which THE
armistice was signed, however 1t
was generally assumed here that
the German ENJOYS within the
French lines had been instructed
by wireless to sign the terms.
FOrty-seven hours had been re-
Quired for the courier to reach Ger
man headquarters and mquestiOn-
ably several hours were necessary
for the examination of the terms
and n decision.
II was regarded as possible, how
ever, that the decision may haze
been made in Berlin and instruc-
tions transmitted from there by the
new German Government.
The momentous news that the
4 arlsistice had been signed was tele-
| phoned to the White House for
transmission to the President few
minutes before 1t was given to the
/ newspaper correspondents. Later II
was said that there would be no
statement from the White House
at this time.
