How Russia Loves GERMANY

Deceived by false pretenses of the Bolsheviki
and duped by the lies of Germany, Russia has had
ample time in the last months to reflect on the
folly of having laid down her arms to the Most
High and of trusting in his honor to protect her
national interests And Germany, it may be
added with emphasis, also has had time to realize
that the benevolent assimilation" it proposed for
the Ukraine and other sections of the vast Mus
covte realm is not going ahead at fast rate
Both the deluded Russians and the deceiving
Germans have had their eyes opened. The for
mer know now that they admitted band of
robbers and murderers into their country and
the latter is learning that even despised Russia
has enough self-respect left to resent wrongs.
even if it does take the form of assassinations
and bomb outrages.
The murder of Count Won Mrbach, German
ambassador at Moscow. and the killing of Field
Marshal Won Eichhorn by bomb in the streets
of kieff reflect spirit of unrest among the Rus
sian people and desire to rid the conquered
country of some of the men held responsible for
its plight.
The old terrorist spirit which relentlessly pur-
sued policy of DISCRIMINATING the leaders of the
old Russian regime seemingly has not lost its
cunning, and is determined to show it's disapproy-
al of German usurpaton by numbering the kai-
ser's leaders.
Eichhorn's policy in Russia compares favor
ably with the tyrannical rule of the Romanoff
house. Germany seized the Ukraine to obtain a
wheat supply The governing body of Ukraine
began to manifest opposition to the highhanded
methods OF Eichhorn, and so he filled the jails

The Best Protection

1.-THE best protection against the enemy's fire
is a well-directed fire from your own guns
Admiral Farragut.
This caption precedes the editorial column Of
the Great Lakes Bulletin, published at the Great
Lakes Naval Training station, in it's issue Of
July 80.
The truth of the observation has a wider ap-
plication than the navy. 1t holds true of the
army. 1t can be applied with salutary effect to
the nation as whole and to our entire military
and naval program.
If whitening fire from ship is disastrous
to the enemy, a CALLING fire from thousands of
cannon on the battlefield will work havoc among
the enemy. If America today were standing on
French soil with millions of trained men and
thousands of guns instead of the comparatively
small number she has been able to send, Germany
would be feeling in disastrous manner the eff
fects of our "well-directed fire"
We failed too long to heed the principle in
volved in Admiral Farragut's statement, and con-
sequently found ourselves woefully unprepared
when we entered the war.
'We-directed fire from our own guns" will
come only after we have enough guns and men
to make our force felt. Preaching and exhortng
will neither produce men nor guns. Principles
must be translated into action before you can get
results.
We need more men for the army and the navy.
Class l men of the first two drafts will soon be
exhausted. Before that time arrives, our Con-
gress must enact law that will extend the draft
ages so that more soldiers and sailors will be
available. This truth is so obvious that Congress
and the war department should not debate the
proposition at length, but pass the measure.
Germany is withdrawing men from her in
dustries and suppanting them with women to re-
lease soldiers for the army. Many of reserves
have been badly cut to pieces by the Franco
American guns She is losing no time in obtain
ing new reserves. Every one admits that the
campaign has become a matter of reserves. The
side that can put the most men into line fastest.
is the side that will win.
America is the only reservoir from which the
Allies can hope to bolster up their man power.
Our associates in arms have depleted their avail
able first class material. We are young and
fresh. We are willing to furnish the men. Let
Congress devise the method

A LITTLE SLICE O. LIFE.
The crowd gathered quickly.
1t was a terrible crush.
We could see the ugly nose
OF gun and it was pointed
Right smack at the sky.
Everybody was afraid of it
So they all moved UP closer
Crowd psychology rampant.
Five soldiers were there.
One bent over the gun to rim 1t.
And turned a little crank.
He was aiming it, certainly.
Reinforcements arrived
A hundred a minute, easily.
A woman screamed: Henry.
You come away from there:
It's an anti-aircraft gun
And they're going to shoot"
ooh, aw right" said Henry
And crowded up closer.
So did everybody else.
Stand on your tiptoes,'
Yelled some artillery expert
Away back in the crowd.
The suspense was awful
We held our hands on our ears.
Another gang came SO swiftly
The aimer of the gun was
Sent sprawling into the gutter.
A perspiring little man
Leaped on box and yelled:
"Youse folks gotta git back.
This guy gives me Is cents
To look at the moon. He amt
Seen a nickel's worth yet"
"KAMERAD."

Lansing's Statement.

Washington, Nov. 7.--SeGetary
Lansing authorized the statement
that the German armistice delcga-
ton would not be received by Cen
eral Foch until ; o'clock thi, after.
noon.
Later it was learned that at II
o clock this morning, when the navy
censors reported an unofficial ca
blegram from Paris saying the arm
istice had been signed, an official
message of inquiry was rushed to
Paris and three hours later brought
reply on which Secretary Lansing
based his announcement.
The secrctary's announcement
came after Washington had been
celebrating for two hours on the
strength OF an unofficial report that
the armistice terms had been ac-
cepted.
In spite of the fact that officials
did not accept the report as true,
demonstrations persisted. Presi-
dent Wilson left the lunch table to
see from the veranda what was go
ing on outside and waved his nap
kin to the crowd before the White
House gates.

Germany's Hold On
The Aisne Was
Broken Yesterday

Germany'S hold ON the Aisne,
from Rethel eastward to above
Nouzieres which has remained
firm while the rest OF the enemy
front crumbled, was broken yes
terday French troops have
thrown bridges across the river
and are in close pursuit of the
foe, who is abandoning vast guam
titles OF munitions and material Of
war as he tlees toward the ever
narrowing gap that leads through
Belgium to comparatively safety.
Nervine has been captured.
Rethel has been evacuated by the
Germans, which the French are
rapidly approaching the vital rail
road center of Hirson from the
west. British forces are moving
up toward Maubeuge from the
southwest Sedan, where on
Sept. II, 1871, the decisive battle
OF the PruSsian war was fought
and Napoleon III was taken pris-
oner by the Germans. was en-
tered by the Americans TODAY.
While the military forces OF the
allies have thus been virtually
crushing the last vestige of en-
emy resistance in eastern France.
German emissarics have been
rushed from Berlin toward the
battle front to meet Marshal
Foch and receive at his hands the
conditions upon which the allied
nations will agree to a cessation
OF hostilities. The German pleni-
potentiarieS crossed the battle
front last night and were to meet
the commander III chief OF the
entente legions at dawn this
morning.
The approach OF the German
commission. however. did not
bring about any abatement in
the pressure against the enemy
everywhere along the front, the
converging forces of the allies
seeming rather to increase the
weight of their sledge- hammer
blows and the past day, it seems
has brought confirmation OF the
statement made a few days ago.
that the contending armies were
locked in battle which promises
to be decisive.
Entente troops have crossed
the Austro-Hungarian lines at
several points TO take the places
OF the troops OF the dual mon
archy so that the latter can be
transported TO their homes in
groups. This is the first actual
step toward carrying out the
terms OF the armistice between
the allies and Austria.

NeWberry Leads Ford.

OF the senate races yet to be de-
cided, Truman II. Newbery, Repub-
lican, appeared to be maintaining his
crlead over Henry Ford, the Demo
cratic candidate in Michigan. With
222 precincts to hear from, New
berry was leading his opponent by
4,995 votes. The Michigan state Re
publican committee claimed New
berry's election, declaring that the
remaining districts are normally Re-
publican. Supports OF Senator Fall
OF New Mexico. still claim his cleo
tion on the basis OF scattering res
turns. As these reports come from
unoi6cila sources, the contest con
tiuued to be placed in the doubtful
class. In Idaho, Frank H, Gooding
was making deep inroads into the
majority credited to Senator ohm

lead was only 40, with $4,000 OF the

Unofficial Message
Reported Early Today

Washington, Nov. Navy cable
censors reported today that an un-
official message had come through
from abroad announcing that the
Germans had signed the armistice
terms delivered by Marshal Foch.
No authority was given for the
statement, and, while it added to the
expectancy everywhere, officials
said nothing except an official dis
patch could be believed
Neither the American govern
ment nor any of the allies embassies
or war missions had been advised
even that Marshal Foch actually had
presented the armistice terms. 1t
was assumed, however, that the Ger
man ENJOYS had been conducted
through the French lines some time
during the day.

Railroad Tie Contractors
To Form Organization

ST. Louis, Mo-. Nov. 10 bring
about closer cooperation between
the Railroad Administration and the
railroad tie industry, railroad tie
contractors OF the United States
will meet here Nov. 10 and 70 to es-
tablish a national organization. An
invitation for the meeting by the
Tie and Timber division OF the st.
Louis Chamber OF Commerce says
it is believed the industry and the
railroad administration could achieve
more direct results if the industry
would create both regional and ma
tional tie organizations to provide
proper communication with govern
mental officials.
The administration and the tie
producers realize that production
of cross ties under the new Speciii-
cations is resulting in a radical
change in the entire industry. The
volume of ties put out by the small
tie producer is being limited by rea-
son OF his operating on a smaller
capital than obtained under the old
system. The tie contractor in addi-
ton to manufacture ties themselves,
helped to finance and thereby in
crease the production of the small
producer under the old system.
1t is believed a method can oe
provided whereby the depression.
caused by the specifications and
method OF purchase, will be relieved.
