$4,000 MAJORITY FOR STATE.
Party Returns Usual Strength To State Gen.
eTdl Assembly; Amendments Carried.

The two constitutional amend
ments voted on yesterday were
carried by good majorities and
only a few counties we're report
ed against them. In many coun
ties the vote was light and in
very few could the official vote
be secured last night. 1t is safe
to say, however,, on the basis of
the returns received, that North
Carolina school children will be
assured of a minimum of six
months school term;and that the

of the provision exempting from

Americans fighting HARDY HUNS Retreat
Germany Beaten, is Speeding Emissaries to
FOCh to Learn Terms Of Armistice.

News saysit learns that the Ger
man delegation has reached the
western front and been permit
ted to cross into the allied lines.
The newspaper adds that the
delegation will be received by
MARSHAL Foch this morning at
daylight.
London, Nov. 6.-(l1:3O p. m }
The German armistice delega-
ton has reached the allied lines.
This information reached the
lobby of the house of commons
late tonight.
Deserted by all her former
allies; her great military ma-
chine in the process Of destruc.
ton by the onslaughts of the en-
tente allied armies; her dream
of world domination rudely dis
sipated, Germany begs for a
cessation Of hostilities, n OF
withstanding the hard terms she
knows she must pay.
Scarcely had the decision of
the supreme wal council at Ver-
sailles with regard to a cessation
of hostilities W h Germany
been made public than Germany
Was speeding emissaries to Foch
to learn what the commander.in
chief's terms are to be.
Meatime in France and Fland-
o's enemy forces are being Civ
a no rest. Along the whole
uattle line in France, the British
French and American troops
nave made further material gains
and reclaimed numerous towns
ind villages. Thousands more
OF Germans have been taken
prisoners on all the sectors un
lei attack. Generally the enc
any forces are in slow retreat,
out nevertheless at some points
hey are suffering sharp resist
ance, particularly against the
Americans in the Meuse river
region and the French in the old
Argonne sector.
The latest gains of the British
on the western side of the front
have been productive of the cap
ture of several towns of great
Importance, the gaining Of more
territory east of the Scheldt Ca
nal, where the Canadians are on
the attack, and in the taking of
several railroad functions of high
strategic value.
Along the Meuse, the Ameri
cans continue to push forward
and at last accounts were almost
at the gates OF Sedan, dominat,
ing point on the German line of
communication to the east. Both
east and west of the river the
Germans have materially stlffen,
ed their resistance against the
men from overseas, using large
numbers of machine guns ana
gas in great quantities in an en-
deavor to impede their progress.
To the west Of the American
sector the Germans near Rethel
are holding a brldgehead to pro,
tect their retiring armies east
and west. In doing so, however
they are forming a dangerous
salient in which capture is likely
should the French e k
through. Numerous additional
crossings of the Aisne have been
made by the French. Altogeth
er, the situation of the German
army is a critical one.

PLANS READY FOR
MIDDIES' CRUISE.
Battleships And Armored Cruis-
ers Will Be Seen BY The
Middies During Summer.

Arrangements have been completed
for. the summer practice cruise of the
Midshipmen of the Naval Academy, but
no details are TO be disclosed. It
may, however, be stated that the Mid
shipmen viii receive their course OF
training during the cruise on battle
ships and armored cruisers and the
course will be in accordance with the
recently adopted plans for intensive
training for the classes now in the
Academy and which will enter next
month. The plan which was carried
out in former years of organizing a
special training fleet for the cruise
will not be followed this year, as the
ships are not available for this duty,
and il is believed that the work with
the regular fleet will be of greater adj
vantage under present conditions. The
Midshipmen will go aboard the ships
shortly after the graduation exercises
have been held and will be returned to
the Naval Academy early enough in
the fall to permit a short leave before
resuming their work here. The lab
sence of the Midshipmen on this
cruise will enable the Navy Depart
ment TO house at the Academy the
students of the Training School for
Reserve officers and provide ample ac-
commodations for the class of approx
mately zoo which starts on June 10.

THE NAVY NURSE IS
NO MOVIE QUEEN.
Her Duties Are Serious And
Practically Identical With
Those Of Army Nurse.

The romantic young girl, unframed
but thrilled with the desire for gov
eminent hospital service, has learned
that smiles and a sweet disposition
alone are not so necessary to the con-
seryation of the lives of "our boys" as
d sound of knowledge of asepsis, the
ability TO recognize symptoms. and an
understanding OF diatetics according
to Mrs. L. 5. Higbee, Chief OF the
Navy Nurse Corps at Washington, d. c.
A sick man must be kept happy, she
says, but there is no happiness great
or in Hines than the security of eX-
pert care.
a girl may have pickering dimples
in her cheeks and the features OF
movie queen, she may be able to fluff
up a pillow or write home TO mans
family. but she must also know how
to dress the wounds causing the mini
mum of pain, and must know how TO
move a fractured limb without
wrenching the newly set bones apart"
is the statement of the Navy Nurse.
"It is common knowledge today that
the regulations for the appointment
or enrolment of Reserve Nurses in
the Navy have been considerably re-
Taxed to meet the emergency demand
for thousands of nurses. Only grad
yates of high schools and training
schools attached to hospitals number
ing more than 100 beds are eligible
for the Regular Navy Nurse Corps.
The bars have been let down enough
20 admit the smaller institutions and
the educational restriction has been
removed for the Reserve but registra-
tion is retained in the requirements.
"One might consider that the sick
sailor is the sole responsibility of the
member of the Navy Nurse Coras. No
indeed! Her work is limitless She
must be prepared to mother" the sick
little native urchins on the tropical
islands of the Pacific ocean and also
to mother the parents who are
nothing more than children of larger
stature. She must be trained exec
utive able to instruct the sailors as
signed to the Navy Hospital Corps.
IneXhaustible patience and tact are
the priceless possessions of a
teacher. The Navy Nurse co-operates
with the doctors in Transforming the
sailor boy into a hospital attendant.
Though her capable fingers may itch
to finish the task which the new stu
dent bungles with his amateurish in
experiences she must stand by with
only kindly suggestion.
In European service the duties of
the Army Nurse and the Navy Nurse
are practically identical There is

TOBACCO BRINGS
FABULOUS SUM.
Five Hogsheads Of Weed Sell
For Nearly Two Thousand
Dollars.

Once upon a time and not so very
long ago, a single hogshead of tobacco
brought about five dollars and fifty
cents, and that was considered a good
price. Today the hogshead of the
smoke weed is bringing s24O-plus.
This statement is based upon a sale
made today by Mr.. ]. Grant Colhoun.
of Windsor Farm, Harwood, this coun-
ty, who sold five hogsheads of tobacco
from his farm that brought him the
neat sum of $1,193.S3.
Mr.. Colhoun has been farming for
more than quarter of a century. but
he has never realized such a fabulous
sum as this from the sale of tobacco.
He expects to realize at least five
thousand dollars when the entire to-
bacco crop from the farm is sold.

JOIN THE CONTEST
FOR BEST GARDENS.
SOS. 900 Offered In Prizes For The
Best Home Gardens In
MARYLAND.

After a conference with E. g.
Baetjer, State Food Administrator, and
Alexander Nelson, director of the
county agents and in charge of the
war work for the Food Administration,
Mr.. French set out on his swing
through the State. Mr.. Baetier and
Mr.. Nelson are anxious TO see as many
as possible of the patriotic home pro-
ducers of Maryland entered in the con-
test for the $4,000 in prizes which
have been offered to those who make
the best records in their gardens.
These prizes are given with no
other thought than to increase the
food supply" said Mr.. Nelson. In
Joining the contest no one pledges
himself TO anything. All he does is TO
announce his desire to try for one or
the money prizes. He is not bound
by any rules to produce or to save any
certain amount of feed. He is not be-
ing paid for his patriotism, but mere
ly strives for his own individual bene-
fit, as well as TO help the nation win
the war, to raise and then to can and
dry as much food as possible.
The State Food Administration
feels that every gardener in Maryland
should consider it the highest honor
to be a contestant in such race.
Whether the home soldier of the soil
wins one of the prizes or not, he will
have performed a patriotic service
which cannot be measured in money
value. No matter when the garden
was planted, anyone who is cultivat-
ing a plot this year is eligible"
The cards are being distributed to
the war gardeners by the various
county representatives of the Food
Administration. In each case Mr..
French will confer with these officials
as well as address meetings and talk
with others active in the garden move
ment.
