AMERICAS ANSWER"
COMING TO EMPRESS

1t took months to prepare the way
for General Pershing's army in
France, and for months the world
wondered what America was doing.
The Macedonian cry for help was be-
ing answered by some troops before
the place was ready to receive the two
million who finally went across. Many
people in this country wondered what
the government was doing all that
time, but If they see Americas An
swer," the big official war film, they
will readily understand what was go
ing on.
This film, which will be shown at
the Empress theater on Tuesday. De-
cember 10, one day only, covers the
ground of preparation for the receipt
OF the troops in France thoroughly.
1t shows you the railroads, the docks.
the warehouses, the refrigerating
plants and other necessary buildings
which the government had to have In
France before It was safe in sending
our troops over there by the boat
load. It shows these things in the
making and then gives you q glimpse
Of the battlefield itself, under Are.
when the American troops make =

over the top and chasing the Huns

glorious day when peace has been de-
clared.
We have lots to eat and a good
place to sleep and rats to entertain US

neck going down the ladder but
guess l will be o. k. to do little

One fellow from the billet / roost
in said he would walk on his hands to
the port and row boat across the
pond If peace was declared and they
would let him go, so you can see how
much he loves France and we all side
in with him.
Some of the bugs in the States are
getting hoarse shouting mo peace.

and go through the hell that is being
dished out and then see what their
biggest howl would sound like.
/ have seen hospital trains coming
from the front and it is beyond me
to describe the condition some OF the
boys are in. They go up there with
a smile and come back with leg gone
or an arm or a bullet hole somewhere
or gassed and hard sullen look on
their faces; any man who could look
ON that and say they didn't want
peace is not human and should be
made to pay the supreme price that
boys are paying at the front.
This country shows what four
years Of war can do, only women and
old men left to do the work in the
fields and the younger women show
the effect Of what the war has done
for them. They nearly all look like
women past middle age and toil-worn.
Black is about all you see here and
it is the same all over the country;
it seems that some one out Of nearly
every family has been killed and it
will be years before France even
starts to be what she was.

German Barrage Fire Delays
Courier Carrying Truce Terms

many will capitulate between now
and Monday
There is no tendency to exag-
gerate happenings in Germany, but
It is felt that the Germans have had
enough to make it imperative for
the government to make peace at
the earliest possible moment.
NJ. Copies, writing in the ''Figa-
ro,' fairly sums up the views of all
editorial writers when he says:
"The details Of revolutionary
movements in Germany are lacking,
but we learn enough from hour to
hour to feel already that thay are
neither superficial nor fictitious. DO
they contain deep-set revolution
Are they but riots due to the reac.
tion of the defeat? What authority
does the republic proclaimed at
Munich possess? These ara oues-
tons which concern Germany
aloha"
While Germany is rejecting on
the Allies terms, Marshal Foch corr
tinuas his blows without inte~mist-
sior. The German army may hreas
ar any moment. There were signs
OF 8 new retreat from the Scheldt
yesterday, and the French are along
the Meuse over front Of fifteen
miles. The alternative for Germany
now is armistice or invasion.

Will Conquer Armies

However, it is thought that the fight
ing with the German armies, as such,
is certainly over. While that huge war
machine is still in splendid shape and
capable of stout resistance, it is
thought far more likely that some
strong hand may attempt a coup inside
or Germany with the army than that
thu military force would continue to
Oppose the Allies.
Should the armistice fail to be signed
the Allied armies, it is declared, would
1ght thei- way on, or proceed into
Germany without fighting should there
be no resistance. Then the Job of fore
ing reperatinn would have 20 wait on
events within the German Empire.

the real problem Of the Allies.
1t is not thought here that the alb
dication of the Kaiser, OF any event
which might follow, would have much
effect on the armistice.
OF course, if there should be d revo~
luton, the men signing the armistice
for Germany would havn no power to
do so, and the Allies would be faced
with the knowledge that the acts Of the
German emissaries might be disavowed
by any government growing out of the
chaos
