London, Nov. 0===The Kaiser has abdCated
The event so long and often rumored, has come
to pass at last. 1t is announced in German wire
less message quoting from proclamation of Prince
Max of Baden, the chancellor that the Crown Prince,
too, must go.
A constitutional German national assembly is
then to vote upon the form of Government for the
new Germany. 1t will decide whether there shall be
a new emperor or German republic.
In the meantime, Prince Max remains chancel-
or until regency is settled. He announces his in
tention to appoint a Socialist, Deputy Ebert, inn
perial chancellor for the duration of the regency.
The Kaiser was forced out. He resisted his in
evitable fate to the very last moment. The revou
ton and Prince Maxs resignation, which an
utimatum, brought the climax
Prince Maxs proclamation, given out by the
British wireless service late today follows:
''The Kaiser and King has decided to renounce
the throne. The imperial chancellor will remain in
office until the question connected with the abdca
tion of the Kaiser, renowned by the crown prince of
the throne of the German empire, and of Prussia,
and the setting up of regency have been settled.
'For the regency he intends to appoint Deputy
Ebert as the imperial chancellor, and he proposes
that bill shall be brought in for the establishment
of a law providing for the immediate promulgation
of general suffrage and for constitutional German
national assembly, which will settle finally the flu
ture form of government OF the German nation and
of those peoples which might be DESTROYS of coming
within the empire

plenipotentiaries, having entered
the French lines under a white
flag last night, met Marshal Foch
at 9 o'clock, French time, Friday

The historic meeting occurred in
a little village in the department
of the Aisne.5
Germany will be given seven

The German armistice delega-
tion entered the conference with
MarshaliFoch at 9 o'clock this
morning, French time, the State
Department announced officially
to-day.
Announcement was made also
that if it found that the German
delegates must refer the armis-
tice terms to Berlin, they will be
given seventy-two hours from
the time that decision is reached
in which to answer.
Time is given only for consid-
Grafton of the drastic terms by
the ENJOYS and for communica-
tion by them with Berlin if they
desire. In view of the Associat-
ed Press dispatch from Paris say
ing seventy-two hours would be
allowed, it was assumed here
that an additional day had been
granted because of the delayed
arrival of the Germans.
An official diplomatic dispatch
from France today emphasized
that Marshal Foch is empowered
only to deliver armistice terms to
the Germans and receive their
acceptance, and that peace ne
gotiations are not the business
of the military commander.
''The powers conferred on
Marshal Foch only concern the
conclusion of an armistice." said
the dispatch. 1.-THE modifctions
which he is qualified to grant are
strictly limited. Any suspension
of arms even if it is asked for
on philanthropic grounds is out
OF the question.
1T is stated that there should
be no doubt that the armistice
and the peace considerations are
two distinct Questions and while
Marshal Foch is duly qualified to
negotiate the armistice, the
peace negotiations are concerns

The enemy occupied strong posi-

feet a crossing. A passage, however,
was forced this morning and footing
gained on the eastern bank.

SOUTHERN RED CROSS
URGES QUICK REPORTS

Atlanta, Ga Nov. Wv. T. Gen
try, director in charge of collections
for the southern division of the Red
Cross, is urging the local chapters
through North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee,
to complete their reports and make
final returns to headquarters not later
than Dec. l.
More than so per cent of the sub
scriptions in the FIVE states of the
Southern division have been collected,
despite numerous adverse circum-
stances that retarded the work. Mr..
Gentry suggests to the local chapters
that the balance of the Red Cross
fund be paid at once as Thanksgiv-
ing offering so that it will be disposed
of before the collection of the United
War Work fund begins.
