against the ravages of the tussock
moth, which bid fair to be severe on
shade trees during the next growing
season. The egg masses, which are
white and conspicuous, may be seen
readily at the present time on the
bank of elms particularly, and these
may be collected and destroyed or
daubed with creosote so that they will
not hatch. The college in its letter
has suggested that local shade tree or
park commissions take the matter Of
destroying the egg masses in hand at
once and push it vigorously.

A lot of officials who refuse to
grant the employees of the county a
living wage have an unlimited amount
of nerve to seek the votes of working
men for reelection. The idea of
county as rich as Butler County is,
paying its regular employees $1,000 a
week in these days of high prices and
expect them to maintain their families
up to the American standard of liv-
ing is ridiculous. The funny part of
it is that the people to whom the
money belongs are more than willing
that these county employees should
receive better wages than they are
nowgetting. But the officials say no.
1t seems that they want to point to
an economical administration of the
county's affairs during their cam
paign for reelection. 1t is cheap
way to practice economy. If we must
save, let's do it some other place and
not take it away from these poor
devils and their wives and children.
1t is a long lane etc.

Leave it to the German to figure it

proposal to Russia for the exchange

Germany shall retain all able-bodied
Russians and return all sick or wound
ed Russians to Russia.

This is only characteristic of Ger

Russian prisoners to operate its muni-

disease was brought in by the neg.

Although emissaries of Germany in search of an
misce reported to have started for France there is
yet official indication that they have reached the head
quarters of Marshal Foch, the in whose hands lies
the absolute power of granting denying the last
naming combatant of the allies the cessation of hostes

Meanwhile the great battle which has for its purpose

the Germans giving ground and rapidly the sack
is being cleared of enemy forces
Sedan, famous a fortress in the o-Prussian

Sedan the lateral lines Of communication with the great
German fortress Of Metz dominated by the guns
Of the Americans and thus rendered unavailable for

From the of the American sector to the east of
ST. Quentin the French have again driven forward lib
Grating many additional towns and villages. At some
points they have penetrated to depth of ten miles,
wthstandng the heavy ground due to rain and mud and
at last accounts still pressing forward and meeting
with only moderate resistance by machine guns and
guards. In the north, Field Marshal Hag north and
south of the old Vaencennes salient, is giving the

gish and Scottish troops Gf his command have again
bitten deeply into enemy-hed territory. Still further to
the north the armies of King Albert of Belgium keep
ing up their pressure against the Germans 1t is reported

False reports that Germany had accepted the terms OF
the armstice submitted by the allies and that fighting
would cease at 2 o'clock Thursday threw the country
into delirium and celebrations were held everywhere
Denias bv Secretary Lansing and other administration
officials could not travel fast enough to overake the
false report and many people in large cities eVen went
to bed under false impression
The false report was forwarded from France by the
president and secretary of the United Press Association
and stated that armisce had been signed at coch
about o'clock time, and that fighting would cease
at o'clock.
Official dispatches from France to the state depart
ment at Washington said that the German peace COM
missOners were not to meet Marshal FOch until
o'clock Thursday afternoon and dispatches received af
ter night Thursday from the American army on the Be-
dan front show that at $50 our troops were still ad
vancing After cabling to France and receiving an OF
fca reply Secretary Lansing from the state department
in Washington, issued the following:
"rThe report that armiStlce has been signed WIN
Germany is not true When reached the department OF
state this morning inquiry at once dispatched to
Paris At 2O4 o'clock this Thursday afternoon tee-
gram in reply received from Paris 1t stated that the
amstce had not vet been signed and that the German
representatives would not meet Marshal Fcch until p
M Paris time or noon, Washington time.
At 355 o'clock in Paris it officially announced that
four German officers bearing white flag would proba-
bly arrive at Marshal FOch's headquarters time
Thursday night. Thursday night, midnight, word
of the arrival of the German commissioners had been
ceived No one can say when the armisce will be signed
when fighting will stop But has never been expected
that the terms of amsce the western front might
be accepted at one brief meeting Many questions in
voved now which not involved when an armistce
was grantd Austria Bulgaria and Turky One of the prn
cpa points concerns the disposition of the German fleet
so vital to England Now that the fleet is in the hands of
