SCHOOL OPENS

School opened Monday with a
total enrolment of 70 pupils.
Only two of the teachers engaged
for the year were ON hand to be-
gin work, Miss Armstrong being
i'll with quinsy, and Miss Allender
having missed boat connections.

gram will be perfected when Miss
Allender arrives. Only five pu-
pills have enrolled for the high
school. There were fifteen pupils
in the upper grades, twenty-nine
in the intermediate and twenty.
four in the primary grades Mon

the attractiveness of the interior
and improved the arrangement.
A cordial invitation is extenned
to the patrons of the school to
visit the institution in order to
become better acquainted with
the teachers and the work that
is being done there.

The Rev. Thorman Retains to
Telegraph Creek

The Rev. Fred Thorman and
bride came In on the Sophia Tues
day evening, and while waiting for
the Hazel B, have been renewing
old acquaintance.
y number of years ago, Mr.. Thor
mans father was missionary to
Telegraph. Soon after the elder
Mr.. Thorman retired to take a
parish in England, his son Mr.. Fred
Thorinan came to continue his
! fathers work in Telegraph and
Tahltan.
He had been there only a few
years when he and his brother who
was teaching at Telegraph heard
their country's call for men.
Mr.. Thorman training for a
missionary had included some train
ing in medicine and so he became
attached to the British medical first
aid service.
The brother, who had been a
teacher, was reportedmlssjng at the
battle of Arras. Mr.. Thorman
would not stand for such a report
as that. So he went out in search of
HIM. He found him severely wound
ed, with a part of the shoulder shot
away. He brought him in and thus
saved his life. Mr.. Thorman was
afterwards "gassed," and in con2e.
quence, was inyalided home.
OF course, the hero part of the
story is foil owed by a romance.
Mr.. Thorman secured one of Eng
lands best young ladies as helper
and FASTENED back to his work. Mr..
Thorman has occupied the pulpit
several times a, St. Philips church
most acceptably, and has earned
the reputation of being very cap
able clergyman. A few of his In
dians were in town when he arrived,
and their faces lighted up with
pleasure when they saw him.
Mr.. Thorman refuses to be con-
sidered a hero in any sense of the
word. 'Wha, | have done has
been done BY such hosts of others, ;"
he says, My work is scarcely
worth talking about
Telegraph is certainly to be con-
graduated in retaining a man like
Mr.. Thorman as its clergyman.

Faithless to the Last.

Secretary Lansing notifies Germany
that it is held responsible for the bad
faith of those who have committed
'sHanton and malicious" acts in Bel
GUM in the destruction of mines in
violation Of Germany's own announce
uent Of October 20 that strict instruc-
tions had been issued to spare pri-
vate property" and to exercise care for
the population to the best of German
ability. This breach of faith is but
aRcther item in the long record of
German faithlessness. There can be
no excuse on the ground of confusion
or misunderstanding of orders. A
strict reckoning will be kept of these
distractions and the punishment for
them should be visited upon those who
may be found guilty. In view of this
situation, with peace almost assured
there is NO possible justification for
further destruction of property in Bel.
GUM or in France on the score of
military necessity, and payment should
be exacted for every dollar of waste
with additional penalties for viola
ton Of pledge voluntarily given.

Let Us Celebrate!

1t was fine, patriotic, enthusiastic,
inspiring celebration, even though it
developed from false report. Wash
ington, misled, began by celebrating
the signing of armistice, the cessation
of fighting, the formal end of the war.
When convinced by vigorous and re-
peated official denials of the falsity of
the report that the armistice had been
signed and the war formally. ended,
Washington continued to celebrate the
armistiee signing and the end of the
war as prospects soon to be realities.
1t was celebration "nunc pro tune"
the celebration now Of an event that
is soon to be. It was the payment of
an installment on account in advance
of the debt of demonstrations of joy
and gratitude, recognized as due from
the American people, when the world 5
greatest war shall be VIGOROUSLY and
righteously ended.
Germany is beaten. The war has
been practically over since Austria s
surrender followed that Of Turkey.
The chances are that the German armis-
tice delegation will use very few of
the seventy-two hours to be given it
for: consideration Of the terms of
armistice.
The official dispatches show fighting
on the western front, in which our
troops participated, yesterday and this
morning. But, the German armistice
delegation reached Gen. Foch's head
quarters late last night, and conferred
with him this morning.
We may soon, then, hear that the
armistice is in fact signed today which
many enormously believed to have
been signed yesterday; and which
might have been signed yesterday if the
German armistice delegation had been
able to cross the French line before
last night, and to confer with Gen.
Foch before this morning.

The; Afmistice Conference.

0ermanys situation grows more des-
perats daily, hourly. The port of Ham
burg IS in the hands Of revolving sail
ors and the red flag is flying over all
the ships in the harbor. According to
. report that is not yet fully explained
or confirmed, ships of the German
navy have been seized by mutinous
sailors. On the other edge Of the EN-,
pire trouble menaces. Bavaria threat
ems to withdraw her own forces from
the front if the armistice is delayed.
Rioting is in progress throughout the
German states. There can be little
question Of Germany's eventual ac-
Geptanee, even Of the harshest terms
that may have been formulated by the
allies.
Regardless Of the prospect of peace
through armistice, the allied troops are
smashing forward against the retreat
ing foo. The French forces this morn
ing resumed the offensive along their
entire front and scored deep gains.
Not until the actual order is given by
The conmander-in-chief to cease fight
ing on the score of the armistice
formally signed by Germany will there
be any slaekening of the speed.
-; There was, however, remission of
the fighting at one point. In the sec
tor designated for the reception of the
German armistiee delegates all firing
was suspended at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon This was simply to open
a gateway for the commissioners of
surrender to enter the allied lines. 1t
is interesting to note that they crossed
The lines at La Capelle, which had been
taken by the British in the morning.
They were escorted to a house behind
the lines, where they remained over
night, and some time this morning
they started for Gen. Foch's headquar-
ters, four-hour journey, presumably
10y motor. There the conference is
now in session.
How long the conference viii last
or whether it viii conclude with the
signing Of the armistice terms cannot
be told. It is not known whether the
German commissioners have the power
to sign or must take the terms back
to grand headquarters for examination
and acceptance, or rejection. It has,
however, been assumed that they have
xsch a power, inasmuch as Prince Maxi
milan, chancellor of the empire, has
issued a statement indicating a de-
eision by the German government to
accept whatever the allies may have to
offer IN the way Of conditions. In that
event the conclusion of the armfstiee
may be announced within a few hours

The Premature Demonstration.

Yesterdays. demonstration Of re-
joicing over the signing Of the armis-
tice and the presumptive ending of
the war, though premature and un-
warranted by the facts, was an in
spring manifestation of the spirit Of
America.
Had the news been correct that the
armistice was signed and hostiiities
were at an end there would have been
the fullest justification of the shout
ing and horn-blowing and parading
and fag-waving that continued in
this city for nearly twelve hours, with
similar demonstrations elsewhere. That
the expressions of public joy persist
ed in the face Of official explicit de-
mails showed how greatly the people
wanted it to be true, how ardently
they hoped for the definite announce
ment of victory and the end of the
war.
When the news does come that the
armistice has been signed and that
hostilities have ceased and that the
end of the war is virtually at hand,
it is to- be hoped that there will be
no less of demonstration than that
into which the public was led yester-
day by premature and unfounded an
nouncements. It is hard, however, to
rise twice to the same pitch of enthu-
siasm over the same cause. Herein
lies the great misfortune of yesterdays
celebration, that it discounts the real
jubilation that is yet to come.
However, there is no discounting the
fact that the American people are re-
joicing today even in the prospect of
peace through victory. They are proud
of the achievements Of their own
forces in France, cooperating with the
splendid soldiers Of our allies, who
bore the .brunt Of the battle for nearly
three years without our aid. They are
exalted in spirit by the realization that
tho evil thing that has for over four
years been raging through Europe and
threatening the world has at last been
conquered.
