Officers of ll7th
Fare Badly On Field

KNOXVILLE, Nov. 3O.--In the re-
cent drives on the Plcardy battlefield
the officers as well as his men of the
117th infantry Jared rather hard, ac-
cording to a letter from Col. Cary
II. Spence, commander, to Mrs.
Spence.
Col. Spence says the weather was
cold and rainy and that most of the
officers had lost their bed rolls and
had to sleep on anything they could
find.
The letter was dated Nov 9th and
the colonel stated that his regiment
had been ordered back in the line
18th. The armistice was
signed the day following and since
that time dispatches have come in
saying that the seth division, of
which the 117th is part, has been
ordered home. In all probability the
order to go to the lines again on Nov.
18th has been withdrawn.
Col. Spence enclosed letter from
one Of his men in an English hospital.
The young man seemed rather home
sick, away from home and without
money and friends.

Foch Made Enyoys
Beg For Armistice

NEW YORK, Dec. s.--An anus
ing story of the first meeting be-
tween Marshal Foch and the German
armistice delegates is told by high
British official. When the Germans
stalked into the room Marshal Foch
received them with calm dignity, says
a London dispatch to the New York
Sun.
"To what am / indebted for the
honor Of this visit?" he asked po-
litely.
The Germans were somewhat
abashed. One of them replied:
eve come about the armistice
which you offer"
"Armistice?" queried Marshal
Foch. What armistice? / have
made no offer"
SThe Germans were astounded.
But we must have an armistice, "
they walled.
Must" said Marshal Foch. "Then
you come to beg an armistice?" The
Germans admitted ruefully that they
had come for that purpose. Mar
shall Foch's eyes sparkled as he said
IF you come to beg an armistice,
that is another matter"
