CITIZENS RAZEE

Tuesday afternoon the con-
struction train of the Apache Ry.
Co. reached the Snowflake depot.
The occasion was made a jubilee
by our citizens. At 5:15 an alarm
was sounded by ringing the
Stake house bell, followed by
autos running the streets and
with men yelling for everybody
to go to the depot to see the first
train at the Snowflake depot site.
A hard shower of rain prevent
ed many from going, also inter-
fered with carrying out ihe pre-
pared program. However, many
ventured out to see the first train
in. Uncle" Billy Flake, the
pioneer of Snowflake, was elect
ed to drive the last spike and as
he hammered away the crowd set
up a yell that was deafening.
The train whistle was tied down
for few minutes and everybody
joined in the razee.
To show an interest some take
in the fact that we have train
service for this section. we must
mention that Aunt" Susan
Cooper of Taylor walked over
just to see the first train come
into Snowflake and to witness
the jubilee our people pulled off
in honor of the occasion. The
threatening clouds had no terrors
for Aunt" Susan. Just as she
arrived at the depot site it began
raining. She took shelter in a
nearby barn. When the shower
had passed she joined the happy
throng and helped to celebrate.
The committee in charge of
the celebration program feel un-
der obligations to Chief Engin-
eer Farwell for courtisies shown.
Thus one of the most import
ant mile posts in our history was
past and Snowflake henceforth
will be known as a railroad town.

ENEMY PIVOT SHAKEN

With the French Army in France. November 5.-(By the Associated Press. )-The Franco American opera tions west of the Mouse since Novem- Der 1 have shaken the pivot upon which the entire German retreat turns. The Germans are still making stout resistance, without modifying the sa- lient feature of the situation. which is that their armies west of the Mouse are practically cut off from direct com munication with Metz.
 The main reliance of the Germans now Is on the line of the Mouse, which they appear determined to defend. while west of the river their principal resistance Is along the Ardennes canal. French troops have reached this ob- stacle from Rilly- -Aux-Oies, at> the bend of the Aisne, to the River Bar. Here they have encountered sustained artillery, machine gun and musketry fire.
 The Germans are still holding along the Aisne between Rethel and Chateau Porcien, while further west indications of a retreat were noticed last evening. The French in pursuit maintained con- tact with the enemys rear guards and this morning reached Herpy and ths region east of Recouvrance and Ban negne, as we'll as Height 9S, southwest of Montigny-Le-Court.
 East of the Oise river French troops on the heels of the retreating enemy, have reached Audigny and La Herre- La Vieyille.

'CLEMENCEAU GETS
 GREAT OVATION AS TERMS, ARE READ
Says Armistice Terms Sent to President Wilson Who Will Transmit Them to
 Imperial Government

Paris, November 5.--M. Clemenceau
 the premier was accorded wonderful ovation in the Chamber of Deputies to- day as he read to the deputies the terms of the armistice with Austria Hungary.
 He also said terms had been sum- mitted to Germany.
 The terms to Germany" said the premier, "are what President Wilson himself recommended to us for the se- curfty of our troops. the maintenance of our military superiority, and the dis
 armament of the enemy. in so far as
 tnat IS necessary to prevent a resump- tion of hostilities'
 M Clemenceau declared that peace
 might not be so near as some might
 think, but that he could, however, as- sure the chamber that 'the fate of the peoples henceforth was fixed" There was prolonged cheering when the pre-
 mier announced that the allies had obtained the use of all means of trans port in Austria Hungary GREAT OVATION M. Clemenceau was hailed as the
 father of victory" as he mounted the tribune to announce the terms of the Austrian armistice. The deputies all stood. The ovation lasted several min utes
 During an address following the read 1 ing of the armistice terms there was intermittent cheers, especially when the premier, spoke of the approach of full victory, the defeat of Austria Hun gary and the complete glory of France. The usual socialist Interruptions oc- cured, but the aged premier remained unperturbed, defiantly smothering the taunts of the opposition. The cham Der passed resolution providing that the speech of M. C1emenceau should be posted throughout France. What | have I done?" said M. Clemenceau, "it l is France that has done it." l l have only made the best use I could | of the instruments France has given me. | The superior council at Versailles has drawn up the terms of an armistice with Germany. These were sent yesterday to President Wilson, who, if he approves | them, will make them known to the im- perial and democratic government. At this point the House burst into laughter.
 l 1t will then be time enough for Ger l many to address herself to Foch,'' the premier added.
 It was here that the premier declared ] that the terms to Germany were inspired, as were those imposed upon Austria, to prevent resumption of hostilities in case l Germany should break her word.

They are so delightfully."- human that they are making new friends out of every audi ence as whole.

 The vaudeville programme is also very enjoyable. The feature act "The Betting Betty's" is splendid bit of musical comedy, and the work of the ght comedy maidens is meeting with general approval from every audience.
