at the entrance. About the same
time President and Madame Poincare
arrived and received military honors.
A distinguished company already
had assembledi lin the grand salon and
the Ambassador and Mrs Sharp then
escorted their guests to dinner. Pres

dame Poincare who sat at his right.
Mrs. Sharp sat al the presidents left,
President Poincarc took out Mrs.
Wilson, who sat at the right with the
wife of the president of the French
senate on his left,
The scene in the drawing room aft
er the dinner was brilliant with the
women in rich evening gowns gilt
tering with jewels and the members
of the diplomatic corps, generals and
admirals in full uniform resplendent
with medals and decorations. The
stately figure of Cardinal Annette the
archbishop of Paris, in his scarlet
robes blaZed out among the sombre
blues and blacks of the uniforms and
evening dress. Most of the civilian
officials wore the red sash of the le-
glon of honor or the star of that Or

President Wilson wore plain

blue tulle gown with silver orna-
ments and diamond crescent in her
hair Madame Poincare wore white
brocaded silk.
Military honors We're accorded the
president as he departed from the

In the afternoon before attending
the embassy reception, President

Some surprise has been occasioned
In certain circles that -four women
Mrs Wilson, Madame Poincare, Ma
dame Jusserand and Miss Wilson 49,
were permitted TO ride in the same
carriage Saturday from the Boise De
Boulogne station. 1t appears that
the arrangement was due to Mrs.
Wilson who expressed = wish that
Madame Jusserand be allowed to ride
with her.

Board of Aldermen Will Call
Public Meeting to Discuss
Health Appropriation.

The Board of Aldermen considered
two important matters at q meeting
held last night. They were the hold
ing of a public meeting for an ex-
preston of views on the request Of
the Board of Health for $4,000 and
for the erection of new police sta
tion on ground owned by the city.
The aldermen considered that the
taxpayere should have voice in the
giving of $4,000 to the baalth board
and they will ask the board to attend
the next committee meeting of the
city fathers and thoroughly explain
their plans. This meeting will be
held next Friday evening and therS-
after a public meeting will be called
for an expression of opinion by the
citizens.
The new police station If erected
would be placed on land owned by
the city at New Brunswick avenue
and Fayette street.
The aldermen plan to appoint fif-
teen new policemen within a short
time. among which will probably be
one or two matrons.

PARIS. Nov. S:-Germany armis-
tice delegates were received by Mar
shal Foch yesterday morning at :
o'clock in a railroad car. in which the
Chief of the Allied
force had his headquarters, according
to the Petit Journal.
When the German credentials had
been opened and verified, Matthias
Erzberger. leader of the enemy delega-
ton. speaking in French, announced
that the German government had been
advised by President Wilson that Mar
shal Foch was qualified to communi-
cate to them the Allies conditions and
had appointed them plenipotentiaries
to take cognizance of the terms and
eventually sign an armlstice-
Marshal Foch then read the terms
in a loud voice. dwelling upon each
word. The Germans were prepared
by semi-official communications for
the stipulation as a whole, but hearing
set forth in detail the concrete de-
mands seemed to bring to them for
the first time full realization of the
extent of the German defeat.
They made few observations,
merely pointing out material difficul-
ties standing in the way OF carrying
out some quite secondary clauses.
Then Erzberger asked for q suspen-
sion of hostilities In the interest of hu-
manity. This request Marshal Focn
fatty refused.
The delegates. having obtained per-
mission to send a courier to Spa ana
communicate with that place by wire
less. withdrew. Marshal Foch imme-
diately wrote an account OF the pro-
ceedlngs and sent them by. an aide to
Premier Clemenceau, who received
them at noon.
The German delegates are lodged IN,
a country mansion at Rethondes, six
miles east of Contiegne, and thirty
miles from Marshal Fochs head
quarters.
With the Commander-in-C Chief at
the time of the interview were Major
General Maxine Weygand, his assist
ant; Vice-Admiral Sir Rosslyn Weyss,
First Lord of the British Admiralty.

WIGHT BEATEN
AppIeby Has Lead of 16-Ex-
pect Soldier Vote to Pull
Him Through.

According to official figures COM
piled at the county clerks office this
morning, Albert Appleby of Old
Bridge, Republican candidate for AS
sembly, has lead of sixteen votes
over Andrew j. Wight of this city,
The fact that the soldier and sailor
vote is yet to be counted leaves the
final result still in doubt. The DEM
ocrats claim a majority of the soldier
vote and insist that the final count will
show Mr.. Wight elected. They base
their claim on the fact that they made
a canvass of the camps prior to cleo
ton while the Republicans generally
ignored them. Some Democratic lead
ers even go so far as to claim seventy
five, per cent. of the uniform vote.
The contest is of particular signifi-
cance because with Appleby elected.
the tie in the Assembly will be broken.
giving the Republicans one majority.
The Assembly vote as II now stands
In the county clerks office is as fol-
lows: Johnson, 7.O13; Appleby, 7,84si
Tindell, 7.146; Kirkpatrick. s,0S5; De-
Voc, 7,946: Wight. 1880.
There is also close vote in the
Freeholder contest and the present
results may be upset by the returns
from the camps. The Freebooter
vote today stands as follows: Jorgen-
sen, 1916; Warnsdorfer, 1891; Apple
gate. 1900; Bennett. 1880.
The County Board Of Elections win
meet Monday at noon, but 1t is be-
lieved no certificates of election will be
given until the count of the soldier
vote is completed. The soldiers must
cast their ballots on or before Noveni-
ber s, but thirty days are allowed TO
turn them in to the county clerks Of
fee. Thus far. 1t is understood 39S
soldier ballots have been received in
Middlesex. 1t is expected there will
be about fifty more. The county cleo
ton board can count what votes have
already been received at any time II
chooses and 1t is probable that a date
for making the canvass will be flxed
Monday.

GERMAN HIGH COMMAND IS
CONSIDERING ALLIED TERMS;
DEMAND ANSWER BY MONDAY

oussed at German grand headquarters
With an answer required by Marshal
och before IL o'clock Monday morn
.ng, Paris time.
The courier carrying the text OF the
demands of the Allies and American
governments. according to unofficial
reports, passed through the Allied
lines last night and was expected 20
reach the headquarters of the German
high command early today.
Included among those attending the
conferences of the German military
chief was the Kaiser, report says. BY
many the meeting was considered as
the last in which Emperor William
Will appear as the supreme war lord.
In the meantime the German arm
istice delegates, who yesterday were
handed the terms, and whose request
for provisional cessation of hostili-
ties was denied by Marshal Foch,
awaited the return of their courier.
Even though the decision of the Ger
man military chiefs were made known
at once, II was not considered possible
that the courier could place the an
swer In the hands of the delegates be-
fore late hour today.
The last State Department dis
patches told only of the meeting Of
the armistice delegates with Marshal
Foch. but II was reiterated today there
would be no delay in informing the
nation as to the answer of the Ger
mans, once II is delivered.

 Mrs Thurston warned me that nobody could believe anything a man in love has to say and from this amusing warn- ing I quite understood that besides pos- sessing beauty and charm and all the other attributes which go toward making woman very lovely as well as lovable, Mrs Thurston has delicious sense of humor.
