MILLIONS FOOLED BY FALSE REPORT
 CELEBRATE PEACE
False Reports of Peace Hoax Many Into Celebrating; Several
 Being Killed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Millions of Americans were hoaxed Thursday into celebrating the end of the war, by the publication of United Press despatches indicating that an armis- tice had been signed and that the fighting had come to an end; while, as a matter of fact the fighting was continuous, according to French and British despatches.
 An official statement was issued denouncing the reports published as untrue, but it did not have the de- sired effect for a long time. In the meantime the celebration went on, several being killed accidently dur ing the celebration by shooting and fireworks.
 Thousands of shipyard workers discarded their tools at Staten Island and crossing the harbor, marched up Broadway, resuming the celebration on the strength of Thursdays false reports.

CASS WILLIAMS SERVING
 WITH J. s. MARINES

J. Casson Williams, former spe- clal dlsbursing agent of the A. E.

C., under date of October 9, intimates that he will soon be sent lover there" with his battalion.
 "Cass", as he was more familiarly known here, has been undegoing in- tensive training as a member of a machine gun platoon, and says he is proud to belong to the Marine Corps, which is a branch of Uncle Sam's military establishment and which has won the most distinction for gal lantry in action. The Marines cov- cred themselves with glory in every action in which they were engaged in the present war
 At the time of writing, "Cass" had nearly finished training and orders were momentarily expected for the battalion to proceed to a port of embarkation, and he is probably lover there" now

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts The war situation is critical
II Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens. Hungry men cannot fight
at their best; hungry nations France, England
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat saying.1They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone spare it to them. BY saving just little
less than quarter of what We ate last year-we
support those who are fighting battles. And we
do it without stinting ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's
surpu- of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of need 1t has given corn in such bounty
never known before. Tons of corn Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels and
above regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-.-Corn 1t is the true American

approximately 267 Soldiers Drowned;
OFF the Irish Coast Out of a
Total of 2,l79

Washington, F eb. Ct he
Cunard liner Tuscania, carrying
2,179 American soldiers, has been
torpedoed and sunk off the Irish
coast, but officials reports late
tonight said 1912 of the officers
and men had been saved, and in
Dictated that the list of rescued
might prove even larger. The
troops, composed chiefly of de-
tachments of Michigan and Wis
consin rational gHardsmen, were

ism VI u3ar convoy of Brit
warships.
A brief dispatch to the war de-
partment from London early this
evening announced the disaster
and reporte7 ne landing OF only
LOO survivors. This was made
pubic shortly after ten O'Clock,
and for more than two hours it
was feared that probably 1,400
men. including members of the
liners crew had gone down.
When a message came to the
the state department from the
embassy at London, saying at IL
o'clock tonight 1912 of the
Americans had been accounted
for, the JOY of officials almost
swept away the distress OCCASION
ed by the earlier news. The first
l, 100 survivors were all landed
at Larne and Buncrana, two
widely separated Irish ports, and
this, coupled with the evident
fact that rescue ships were at
hand, quickly gave rise to hope
that nearly everybody on board
the Tuscania, except those in
jured by the explosion, might
have been saved.
The president, Secretary Ba-
ker, and in fact all official Wash
ington were up late, waiting for
additional news. Only the brief
est dispatches were received and
none gave details of the attack
on the liner. Even the time was
missing, but it was assumed that
it occurred early this morning,
as the first message was filed at
London at 3 O'Clock this after
noon, probably within an hour
after the relief ships reached the
Irish coast.

NEW IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR

Prince Macmillan Of Berlin, the
new imperial chancellor of Germany,
has been known as the chief of the
Delbrueck moderates and opponents Of
the pan-Germans. Once before, upon
the fall of Chancellor Mlchaelis, No
vember 1, 1917, he was put forward as
the moderates candidate for the
chancellorship. His name, however,
did not go before the emperor, as
Prince Macmillan objected for dynas-
tic reasons.
At that time there were vague
rumors concerning Prince Macmillan
TO the effect that In moderate circles
there was under way movement hav-
ing for its ultimate objective the de-
thronement Of Emperor William and
the choice of Prince Macmillan as
his successor. These rumors, how
ever, were never confirmed, although
there seemed to be some foundation
for them.
