Especial to eader-Enterprise.)
Washington, Nov. 1917 P. NJ
1t is officially announced by the State
Department that the armistice has not
yet been signed.

Washington, Nov. Just before
midnight the American Government
was informed by cable from Paris that
the German armistice ENJOYS had APP
preached the French lines and were
due to arrive for their meeting be-
tween s and 10 o'clock tonight, Paris
time.
The statement was authorized by
the State Department that no inform
alton had been received of the sign
ing of armistice terms, or even of the
actual arrival of the Germans within
the French lines.
New York, Nov False reports
that Germany had accepted the terms
of the armistice and that fighting had
ended threw the country into de-
lirum today and turned out to be the
greatest hoax of recent years.
Official assurances that the report
was false failed to check the almost
rlotous demonstrations which swept
over many American cities and mil
lions of Americans will not know how
they were fooled until they read the
morning papers.
A dispatch cabled from France TO
the United Press and picked up and
circulated also through the country by
another news agency declared the
armstice signed at II o'clock this
morning and fighting ended at 2 p.
m.

Shall the Reno divorce mill be wiped of the
map is one Of the questions before the nation
wide conference of leading lawyers in Cleveland,
August ~. The occasion is the meeting of the
commissioners on uniform laws of the several
States. One of the most important questions be-
fore these is that of having all the States
agree uniform divorce act
The varied interpretations of the divorce laws,
the commissioners say, involves serious questions
with regard to the status of children and the
ownership of property. While four-6fths of the
States recognize the same causes for divorce,
the legal machinery for the granting of divorce has
been made uniform in only two States Neither is
there anything like uniformity in marriage licenses.
The law on this subject which the conference has
formulated would, if adopted have radical effect,
since it proposes to abolish the common law mar
riage, providing that there must be a license to
marry and duly authorized officiating person or
recognized form of ceremony to make marriage
valid Stringent laws forbidding marriages between
parties of certain degrees of relationship said to
be fagrantly disregarded in States by parties
who step across the State line and marry, then re-
turn to the State where such laws exist and laugh
at the authorities
recommend. The law must be made uniform by the
action of the State legislatures. One purpose of the
forthcoming meeting will be to emphasize on
voters the importance of impressing their State
senator's and representatives with the importance
of enacting the uniform laws the national confer
ence agrees

We've Learned Our Lesson.

Governments by the people have been charged
with short memory. Critics have said that de-
mocracies are ungrateful.
Forty years so after the civil war it became
modish to declaim against the pension system.
Maybe the pension system imperfect. Still
we, the younger generation, make the mistake OF
confusing the worth of scheme devised for the
recognition of great public service with the worth
OF the service itself. We were not content simply
to denounce the pension system; we discounted the
very sacrifices of those boys of 81.
And about the same time we began to amuse
ourselves with effort to prove that the feet of
our national heroes, after all, had been clay And
went about the batting of our great with the
methods of Germany's higher criticism.
John Paul Jones, Paul Revere, even the great
Washington were raked the Goals of scandal.
The Boston Tea Party was set down as an inconse-
quental play to the gallery. Public speakers could
declare Washngton's soldiers at Valley Forge a
gang of ragamuffins and get away with it.
We wonder if, perhaps, German propaganda,
we'll the historical method German universi-
ties taught American college faculties, didn't help
to breed in US Americans the cynicism with which
we had come to regard the glories of our repub-
lies past
No matter We have learned our lesson And
when those boys over there come back over here,
bringing with them security for Americas freedom,
there can never a day when the least of
them can charge that Americas democracy is un-
grateful There can't, can there? Altogether now:

little daughter, by the German
raider Wolf, was subsequently trans
ferred to. the prize ship Igotz
