Marshal Haigs report tonight reads:
 We reached La Cappelle, south of the Maubeuge road, on both sides of Avesne and have gained the western outskirts of the town. Astride the Sambre river we are in the vicinity of Hautmont.
 North of the river, Bavay is in our hands and our troops have ~made progress east of the town. On the left we have taken Elouges and Hensies and have reached the Conde- Mons canal north of the lat ter village.

signed or when the fighting will stop. Official proof however, and the hours rolling steadily onward, are ample evil dence that it was not signed at II o'clock this morning and that the fight ing did not stop at o'clock this after noon.
 Signing May Be Delayed
 Moreover, it never has been expected that the terms of the armistice on the western front might be accepted at one brief meeting. Many questions are in volved now which were not involved when armistices were granted to Aus tria, Bulgaria and Turkey. One of the principal points concerns the disposi- tion of the German fleet, so vital to England. Now that the fleet is in the hands of the revolutionsries it is not improbable that the German plenipo tenitaries may not at once be enabled to give the assurances the allies will demand. It should be recalled in con nection with this point that Great Brit ain insisted on having one of her ad- mirals present with Marshal Foch at the meeting with the commissioners. and that Germany sent Admiral Von Hintze.

The London newspa- per later withdrew it's edition and | printed a retraction. The publication | in Brest was by a newspaper which re ceived the report from the United | Press.
 i A question being asked tonight by many is, why the naval censors passed
 the dispatch for publication if it was
 not true. The answer is that censors
 do not pass upon the truth of falsity
 of dispatches; they are only concerned with whether they contain information likely to be of value to an enemy, ol damaging to the entente military l fOlCeS.

ORIGIN OF BREAD is UNKoWN
Interesting to Trace the "Staff of Life"
in Its Course Throughout
the Ages.

The origin of wheat is lost in an
tiquity. Even the original home of the
cereal plants of which bread is being
made is not known, all the researches
and hypotheses Notwithstanding.
Where wheat, spelt, rye, barley, buck
wheat, etc, first offered man their
grainy ears for food is an unsolved
problem.
But that originally bread was not
roasted or baked, as mOderns prepare
1t, but eaten as dough or paste, may
be inferred from its relation with the
word "broth," both Of these words be-
ing derived from the root ''breowan,"
"bru," to brew. In all probability 1t
was originally the boiled coarse meal
with nothing added to it but salt. The
leavening and baking of the bread was
later development. The origin Of
these processes is a matter of specula-
ton; but so much is certain: that
baking preceded the leavening Of the
bread that causes it to rise; also that
the original form of the bread was not
the loaf, but kind of thin, fiat cake
like the matzoths, or unleavened bread
of the Jews, or the tortillas Of the
Mexicans. Like these, 1t was proba-
bly, roasted upon intensely heated fiat
stones.
With the discovery Of the leaven the
fiat cake increased in height until 1t
assumed the form of our loaf.

Here Is representative display of
summer shoes that have proved popu-
lar with women who give thoughtful
attention to their footwear. Except
for shoes for sport wear they include
STYLES for any sort of demand. For
the street the choice between high and
low shoes depends upon the weather
and taste Of the wearer and there Is
safety in providing oneself with both
kinds. The high boot at the left of the
picture in black kid and the oXfords
at the top, also in black kid, may be
had with Cuban heels for those who
prefer them to French heels. But
French heels are not always high and
some women like them on street shoes.
At the right of the group is pair of
white glace high boots being among the
STYLES that are favored above all 9th
ers for smart dressing. Like black
shoes they go well with almost any
dress. But they are to be classed
among expensive luXuries for they
must be made of fine quality of kid In
order to clean successfully-and they
are always being cleaned.
In the center of the group Is pair
of dressy black colonial pumps with
steel buckles. These are dressy enough
for any sort of wear, but below them n
more brilliant pair of pumps In patent
leather has buckles In sparkling jet.

"Sir Auckland Geddes desires me
to assure you that he does not get the
sum Of f10 per diem, or anything ap-
preaching it. He thinks you may like

URGES HELP FOR RUSSIA

Gen. K. NJ. Oberoucheff, formerly
a prominent Russian commander, is
urging that the allies send an armed
expedition to Russia to restore the
east front and push back the Teutons.
General Oberoucheff was for 80 years
a Russian revolutionist. He was ar
rested in 1889 and again in March,
1917. After the revolution he was
member of the Kiev executive commit
tee, and commander of the troops in
that (the Ukraine) army district. He
resigned that post in October, 1917,
when elected by the council Of peas
ants delegates as representative at the
Copenhagen conference. While he was
there the bolshevist insurrection closed
Russia to him.
Says the general: "It is not only
possible, but imperative, that an inter-
national allied army be sent into Rus
sla for the purpose of forming with
