Poland Proclaimed A Republic Today.
Berne, via Zurich, Nov. 7.-Poland was pro-
claimed a republic Monday by Premier Swier-
zinski it was announced here today.
State Department Not Yet Advised.

StdtS Department INOC I &C <AUV1oSO'
Washington Nov. 1.-THE State Department
received an official message from Paris shortly
after 2 o'clock this afternoon saying that the
armistice had not yet been signed at the time
that message was filed. The United Press mes
sage announcing the signing of the armistice
and the cessation Of hostilities was filed in Paris
late this afternoon, undoubtedly, considerably
later than the message received by the State De-
paxtment.
Official advices here stated that the commits
sioners at the front were to meet later this after
noon. This fact checked up with the transmits
sion of the United Press cablegram which was
passed by the censor in Paris, showing that there
was sufficient time for the cablegram to have
reached New York at IL noon, New York time,
when it was received and passed by the naval
censor in New York.

WASHINGTON Has Not Been Officially Notified Latest Action Of Germany
Washington Wild.

The capital went wild with the news. Extras
based on the United Press flashes announcing
the wars end sold by thousands. People gather
ed in great cheering throngs and read the news
excitedly. .~r,'->Is"~ ~s-~>. "~'''':
Army aeroplanes swept up in the sky within
Is minutes after the news came, looped the loop
and flashed over the city from line to line cele-
brating the event.
The big guns at Fort Myer doomed froth with
joy.
Work stopped in all the departments over the
city as the news was phoned to one after another
from the United Press offices. Everywhere there
were shouts Of joy that the struggle had ended.
When Secretary of State Lansing left for his
lunch at 12:45 he had no official confirmation of
the closing of hostilties. He considered the news
as having arrived surprisingly soon but was of
the opinion that the Kiel disorders and other in
ternal disturbances had hastened the very quick
compliance Of the Germans to the armistice
terms.

AMERICANS SHOW
UTMOST DARING
Capture of Dun Accom-
plished in Brilliant
Action. t.
AMERICAN FORCES IN 49,
SIGHT OF SEDAN
Men Had to Swim, Wade. Through
Mud and Used Graphing Irons
to Scale Bare Walls of Canal
Strategy Big Feature.


With the American Forces on the
Sedan Front, Nov. 6.-4:30 p. NJ
American forces this afternoon were
fighting within sight of Sedan, fam
Gus for the great battle fought in
the France-German war in 1870.
From the hills in the region Of
Chemery and Maisoncelle, where the
Americans, according to last ac-
counts, were advancing despite stub
born resistance, the buildings are in
plain view, being about six miles
away.
Brilliant Work. .
The crossing of the river Meuse
and the capture of the town of Dun
by the Americans, when its full de-
tails are known, will rank as one Of
the most gallant features of the en-
tire operations northwest of Verdun.
The troops who accomplished it will
be entitled to rank as heroes, for
their work in militarily crossing the
stream was a strategic move of un-
usual daring.
The crossing involved the forcing
of way over the 160-foot river, q
half-mile-wide stretch of mud and a
60-foot canal in the face of a fright
full enemy fire. It also involved SWIM
ming by those who knew how and
he pulling Of others over with
ropes. Graphing irons were used
70 scale the sheer walls of the canal,
along which. machine gunners had
been posted, under tho fire Of
scores of batteries from the hills ad-
joining.
The Order to Cross.
The order to cross the canal came
at mid-afternoon Monday. Ths
troops received their grim instruc-
tions under sun which was shining
for the first time in days. The men
knew almost as well as their COM
manders the difficulty Of the task
and realized how well nigh, impossi-
BILE its accomplishment would bs.
Yet they never doubted or hesitated.
The orders were to send over ono
brigade first and If it failed to send
another and others, one after the
other, if it became necessary. It was
with dash that the Americans tack
led the problem. Theoretically they
had the choice Of crossings any
where for FIVE miles. Actually they
were limited to one point, where the
two-thirds of a mile of mud lay be-
tween the river itself, and the canal
that roughly parallels the river.
The Germans were too firmly el-
trenched at all other points. They
had not protected themselves with
trenches here only because they
never dreamed that the Americans
would be so daring as to try to ne
gotiate the passage. This was a
short distance north of Brieulles.

ONLY HUMAN BEINGS CRUEL
Capable of Deliberately lnflicting
Suffering on Others.

A cruel person is one who eXultS in
another. Cruelty has it's basis in anger
(and thus is related to the cOmbative
instinct), though there is a, cold-bloOd-
ed form of cruelty which may be en-
jOyed without any obtrusive feeling of
anger, Henry Campbell writes in the
Lancet, London.
Cruelty, implying as it does self
cOnsciousness-the ability to realize
the feelings of others-is essentially a
human attribute. Children who i'm
pale frogs and eviscerate flies cannot
be said to be cruel, for they know not
what they do. Nor are the lower ami
mails cruel, seeing that they are wholly
unconscious of the sufferings of 9TH
ers. Thus the charge Of cruelty against
the carnivora is unjust. These animals
generally destroy their victims out
right and in the rare cases &c. G., cat
and mouse) where they prolong the
suffering they have no knowledge of
the pain they are causing. When,
the cruel man as brutal we wrong
the bruteS.
The animal which attacks another,
and in SO doing causes pain, merely
responds to a blind, unthinking in
stinct; but man, proud man, who looks
before and after, is able to realize and
take pleasure in the pain he deliber-
ately, and by subtle means maybe, sets
out to cause. 1t is clearly absurd to
speak of his conduct as brutal"
Rather should we call it devilish, the
devil usually being credited with a
goodly share Of intelligence. We must
cease to libel the brutes by designat-
ing the basest acts of man as brutal.
AS matter Of fact, they cannot be
charged with nonmoral conduct, see
ing that they are devoid of self-cOn-
sc:ousness

the second in the county to go over the

James A. Peterson of Minneapolis, a
former Madison attorney, was last Sat-
urday evening found guilty by a jury
of having violated the espionage law.
Mr.. Peterson wrote some articles for a
weekly paper called the Minneapolis
and St. Paul American, which it was
held hindered our government in the
enlistment of soldiers and the enforce
ment of our draft law. Mr.. Peterson
is a political crouch. A couple times
he has been candidate for U. S. SEN
ator against Knute Nelson and was
hopelessly defeated. He has been a
candidate for other high Offices and met
with similar fate. He is a brother
in-law of Herman B. DAZZLE and as such
inherited much wealth which evidently
makes him feel he should be honored
with high office. He is a roaring speak
er and as such would fit well in with
the Bolsheviki.
