RANG ST. STEPHENS BELL.
AT CLOSE OF CIVIL WAR
AND AGAIN SIGNALS PEACE
Henry Stees, With More Than
a Half Century Record For
Continuous Service at Epis-
copal Church Glad to Ring
the Old Bell

All bells-peace and church-look
alike to Henry Stees, seventy-six-
year-old bell-ringer in particular to
freedom, who began the job of usher
ing in armistice signings way back
in '65, after AppomatoX, and punctu-
ated II again at $3.50 o'clock this
morning, when he got out of bed and
pulled the old rope of st. Stephens s
beitry, in Front street, in commemora-
tion of the ending of the greatest war
the world has ever seen.
1t was the same old bell by the
way, and the same old Henry; almost
the same old time and the same old
church. The same good wife, wakened
Henry on that memorable morn
ing in July. '65. as wakened him
to-day to remind him that peace had
come and that his duty lay at the
pulling end of st. Stephens belfry
rope to tell the glad tidings to the
world. Then 1t was o'clock in the
morning. To-day it was half an hour
later.
Stees. who lives with his wife at
142 Cranberry street, has been sexton
of St. Stephens Church since 1855. In
the Civil War he was one of the Key

REVOLT SPREADS
WITH GERMANY
IN RED HANDS
All Kingdoms Overthrown by
Soldiers and Workers
Councils

CopenhaScn, Nov. 1.-THE Grand
Duke of Oldenburg has been de-
throned and the Grand Duke OF
-Schwerin has abdicat-
ed. according to dispatches from
Hamburg.
The Hamburg Nachrichten, which
reports the abdication of the Grand
Duke, says that government for
Mecklenberg has been formed by a
workers and soldiers council.
King Friedrich August of Saxony
has been dethroned, according to an
official telegram from Berlin.
The revolution in Germany Is to-
day, to all intents and purposes, an
accomplished fact
The revolt has not yet spread
throughout the whole empire, but
fourteen of the twenty-siN states, in
Guiding all the four Kingdoms and all
other important states, are reported
securely in the hands OF the revolu-
tionists.
German garrisons along the Dutch
frontier are reported in revolt. Of
ficers are being disarmed and are be-
ing treated roughly in some IN
stances.

the Allies and stores of coal and iron
are also included.
The immediate repatriation of all
Allied and American prisoners with
out reciprocal action by the Allies
also is included.
To Dominate Rhine
In connection with the evacuation
of the left bank of the Rhine it is
provided that the Allies shall hold
the crossings of the river at Cob
1entz. Cologne and Mayence, togeth-
er with bridgeheads and thirty kill
ometer radius.
The right bank of the Phineland,
that occupied by the Allies, is to be-
come n neutral zone and the bank
held by the Germans is to be evacu-
ated in nineteen days. The armistice
is for thirty days, but the President
spoke of the war as coming to an
end"
To Retire at Once
German troops are to retire at
once from any territory held by
Russia, Rumania and Turkey before
the war.
The Allied forces are to have ac-
cess to the evacuated territory eth
er through Dantzig or by the river
Vistula. The unconditional capitu-
lation of all German forces in East
Africa within one month is pro-.
vided.
German troops which have not left
the invaded territories which speci-
fically includes Alsace-Lorraine
within fourteen days become prison.
ers of war.
Give Up Everything
The repatriation within fourteen
days of the thousands of unfortunate
civilians deported from France and
Belgium also is required.
Freedom of access to the Baltic
sea with power to occupy German
forts in the Kattegat is another pro-
vision. The Germans also must re-
veal location of mines, poisoned
wells and like agencies of destruc-
tion and the Allied blockade is to re-
main unchanged during the period
of armistice.

Associated Press operator, William
s. Neck, had turned in for a little
nap on a cot rigged up beside his
telegraph instrument. He had been
steadily on the job for long period
and was due for another hard day.
While he was resting the clicking
key suddenly ratified out:
''Flash, Flash" which is the sig
nal for an important announcement
over the wire, and a moment later
Mr.. Neck was taking down these his
toric words
"Armistice signed"
This was at precisely 2.46 a. m,
one minute after the announcement
was filed at Washington, as copies of
the message which +. j. Stackpole
will have framed for his office show.
The word was rushed to the COM
posing room and the work of prepa-
ration at once begun.
Mayor Keister was Immediately
notified by a reporter who got
through to his office with the word.
BY that time another reporter,
stationed for purposes of protection
in the Associated Press office in the
Patriot building rushed into the edi-
torial rooms with the bulletin which
Mr.. Neck had taken eight minutes
earlier, and which at that time was
being supplemented by other dis
patches verifying the first from
Washington, and which were being
run out piecemeal to the composing
room where a second edition, fol-
lowing the first Peace Extra, was
already in the course of prepara-
ton.
Another Edition
In a very brief space of time, the
first edition was on the street with
the initial bulletin. Shortly there
after the Patriot issued special
edition, telling in big headlines that
the armistice had been declared, but
making no mention of the fact in its
news dispatches. 4 little later the
Telegraph put its big story on the
streets and thousands of copies were
sold.

big public service Of all religions, in
a big public hall some night this
week"
No Time to Delay
That such u Thanksgiving service
should not be delayed until later
than, or even so late as Sunday next,
was voiced by DR.. Lewis S. Nudge
uastor of Pine Street Presbyterian
Church, when he said; Although
we are having Thanksgiving service
Wednesday evening, and are piah-
ming services along this line Tor sun
day, think 1t would be very great
mistake for any churches to wait un-
til Sunday"
Rev. s. w. Herman,D. D., pastor or
Zion Lutheran Church, stated that
although Lutheran ministers would
be out OF the city this week on oc-
count of the merger convention TO De
held in New York City, yet 1t was his
oninion that a huge, public thanks
giving service to be held this week
would be the right thing. The Rev.
nr Herman said: II wish to COM
mend most heartily the expression
of the editorial in the Telegraph last
week. 1t was fine" He said further:
Eyes, I am certainly in favor or q
big. worthy meeting"
DR.. G. Z. Hawes, pastor OF the
Market Square Presbyterian Church,
after giving his unqualified approval
of the plans for big public meeting
this week, made the following state
ment:
The Prince of Peace
"The signing of the armistice by
Germany is, in my judgment, the
greatest event since the CruciilNlon
of Jesus Christ. 1t means more Tor
the world than we can measure, l
believe that the truest celebration OF
this immeasurable event Will be
when the people come together In
their churches, and praise God for
His wonders, Jesus Christ must not
he forgotten by His people in this
the day Of His, and their triumph. If
we do have day of thanksgiving,
and we will, We must not forget to
render our thanks in the name OF
Jesus Christ, our Lord. This is a
Christian nation and this Is the
hour of triumph of the Prince OF
Peace"
Catholics Endorse Plan
The RI. Rev. Philip r. McDevitt,
Roman Catholc BlSnop OIL the O4o-
cese of Harrisburg, stated that II Is
most fitting and becoming that
there should be a special day Tor
thanksgiving Bishop McDeVltI
stated that, although no special serV-
ices had been arranged in the Har-
risburg Diocese before next Sunday,
the members of this diocese would
gladly participate in such thanksglv-
ing services.
Other ministers throughout the
CITY have likewise given their hearty
approval of plans for a proper and
fitting Thanksgiving service, as sug-
gested by the Telegraph editorial
1t is believed that more definite
plans will be worked out soon by the
Harrisburg Ministerial Association
for a large public meeting of all de-
nominations to be held in few days,

For Itching Torture

There IS one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. 1t will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins. :"
