WAR BRINGS NEW HUES
INTO THE AUTO WORLD
Army Drab, Cavalry Yellow, Rookie
Tan and Hospital Red Among
Colors Introduced.

The war is bringing many new
colors into the automobile world. The
entire range Of hues now reflects the
military spirit Of the times. according
to the vers latest color cards received
by local dealers. Shipments of the
new paints already have been receiv-
ed, and cars in trench drab and artil-
lery red or rife green are emerging
fom the paint rooms of most of the
establishments.
Here are some of the colors which
are being chosen by Washington mo-
florists from the list: Army drab.
cavalry yellow, rookie tan, hospital
red. infantry blue. Army khaki, tran
sit brown, rife green. gun metal gray,
dreadnaught gray, airplane green.
marine khaki and cadet blue.
Lively Hu-s Desired.
The whole lot is Of brighter hue
than the colsrs issued by the paint
manufacturers last fall. The word is
that more lively hues will be used,
especially in two-tone combinations.
I'VE are finding that the brighter
colors are more and more in demand"
said one dealer. After we entered the
war the call was for the somber eff
fects. But that is now passing. 1

gal and reprehensible activities on
the part OF certain claim agents,
pension attorneys and other per
sons in seeking to obtain employ
ment in connection with the col
lection or preparation of claims I'M
der the war risk insurance act.
There Is no necessity for the
employment of claim agents or at
torneys for the collection of the
benefits granted by the war risk
insurance act because the process
of such collection is exceedingly
simple and the bureau of war risk
insurance stands ready TO render
any and all assistance required. A
great service can be rendered By
making these facts clear to the de-
pendents of soldiers and sailors
who are being approached by un-
scrupulous persons. The sugges-
ton OF the American Bar associa-
ton that the patriotic lawyers Of
the country advise claimants free
OF charge of their rights under the
law is deeply appreciated by the
treasury department and affords
splendid opportunity for service to
the nation and to the men who are
facing the fire of battle for us.
IL earnestly hope that you and
your associates will respond to the
enclosed appeal"

LOCAL SOLDIER
MUCH IMPROVED
A. Il. Chalfont, Wounded While on
Duty in France, Is Now I'm
American Hospital

In a letter to Edward T. Murrin
of this city. Arthur y. Chalfont,
1902 Fifth avenue, who was injured
by a shell explosion while in SER
vice in France with the American
expeditionary force, states that he
is now confined in hospital No. 9,
Lakewood, y. J. His wounds were
of a serious nature, but he says
that his recovery will be complete,
although he does not know how
much longer he will be forced to
remain at the hospital. He was par
TALLY paralyzed by his injury and
il was feared for a time that he
would be permanently affected.
Mr.. Chalfont writes that he Is
quartered in one of the hotels OF
Lakewood, which was a famous At
lantic coast resort in peace times,
but which has been converted into
a war hospital and which IS now re-
ceiving American soldiers who have
been manned in France.
Before he entered the army Mr..
Chalfont was employed as a flag
man on the Rock Island lines. He
enlisted in the engineer corps last
May and soon saw service overseas.

Liberty loan committee, and in
ftructiOn in the sale of bonds was
made by Mrs. r. J. Rote. There
we're 1873 women present. almost
enough to solicit every block in the
section which is their portion At
least twenty more workers can be
used and Mrs. Castetter has asked
for more volunteers. Much en-
thusiasm prevails in this force of
workers, and big results are ex-
pected through this source.
Every worker has been provided
with a few yellow cards to be
filled out in case a person who can
afford TO buy bonds, refuses to do
so. This card will be returned to
the federal reserve director of
sales for Illinois and investigation
of the case will be made after the
campaign has closed.
A large number of bonds have
been purchased through the local
banks. In addition to those which
are sold over the counter. many
have been sold through the WON
ems committee which has provided
a team for every bank.

ASKS The HELP
OF JUDGE HERE
American Bar Association Appeals
to n. A. Larson to Assist in
Cleanup Work.
Claim Agents Taking Money From
People in Securing Cash as
Government Insurance.

Judge N A. Larson, chairman
OF the legal advisory board of this
city. has been appealed to by the
American Bar association to act as
chairman and iuformer of lawyers
in Rock Island during the period of
war for the elimination of the IN
scrupulous pension attorneys and
other claim agents.
Continual complaints have been
received by the government from
people in that some attorneys have
been falsely taking the larger part
OF the money, rightfully theirs. The
attorneys have informed the people
that in order to obtain the insur-
ance under the war risk insurance
act it must be handled through an
attorney. The government intends
TO pay the full amount to the widow
CT parents of man who is killed
while in service and the service of
an attorney is not needed. Judge
Larson has ben asked TO inform the
lawyers in this city of the fact and
to ask them to donate their services
in advising the beneficiaries free of
charge
Not Patriotic.
The letter sent TO Judge Larson
by the American Bar association is
appended:
1T has come to the attention OF
the American Bar association that
INSCRIPTIONS claim agents and
pension attorneys are notifying
beneficiaries who have occasion to
make claim under the war risk in
surance act, that they must en-
ploy counsel in order to be sure
of obtaining payments from the
government. In many instances
beneficiaries have been induced 10
advance substantial sums of mon
ey to these agents in return for
the promise of a service which in
all probability will be unnecessary.
These activities are in direct Vio-
lation of the spirit of the war risk
insurance act, and are in the high
est degree reprehensible and unpa-
triotic. Unless they are promptly
and effectively checked they will
result in grievous abuse, and Will
produce the same undesirable coz.

ditions which brought such dis
credit upon our previous war pen
sion system.
Pending the passage of an
amendment to strengthen the law.
action must be taken to protect
benefciaries from the mischievous
activities of these professional
claim chasers. The lawyers of the
country are in a position to AFFORD
this protection by volunteering
their services to beneficiaries in
the preparation and filing OF their
claims. While these services will
be OF an extremely simple nature
they will not only be of great value
to the person receiving them. but
will solve a problem of national
Importance and long standing. We
believe that every patriotic mem
Der of the bar will gladly come to
the assistance of the government
and give this aid to the dependents
OF men in the service.
Some one in each community
must take the lead in this matter.
You, as chairman of the legal ad-
visory board, which once before
has called together the lawyers OF
the district for a not dissimilar ser
vice, are naturally the one to take
the lead in your district We sug
gest as a first step that you again
call upon your associates for Co
operation in order that the work
may be distributed and made as
light as possible for each ind
vidual. Next, that you enlist sucl
forms of publicity as are at your
disposal. SO that no beneficiary in
your community in need of assist
ance will have excuse TO seek it
outside of your ranks. Thirdly,
that you proceed to aid gratuitouS-
ly all benefciartes unable withour
assistance to prepare their claims,
and that you continue such gratui
tous service until circumstances no
longer require it. Lastly, that you
send to the American Bar associa-
ton, 1712 Eye street, N W., Wash
ington, the name of every claim
agent, pension attorney or other
person known by you to be violat-
ing the spirit of the way risk in
surance act in the manner above
described.

gal advice to drafted men or their

Secretary's Message.
W. G. McAdoo, secretary of the
treasury, also has written Judge
Larson concerning the matter In
his letter he states that the Serv-
ices of an attorney are not needed
as the bureau of war risk insurance
stands ready to give all assistance.

SEDAN IS PREY
(Continued from page one),

Continued from page one)s p. m.)-(By The Associated Press)- The matter of peace negotiations failed to slow down in the slightest degree the operations along the front today The news that Germany has taken def mite steps to secure an armistice reached advanced headquarters, but not accompanied by any orders affect ing the big drive now in progress, and 1t is expected that the American line will be carried forward without pause.
 With that part of Sedan resting on the western bank of the river occupied. the American army is consolidating it's positions and preparing for a further advance.
 Vilosnes. Sivry and Haraumont. to the south and east of Dun- sur Mouse, were among the places taken this morning. the American troops are in close touch with the line between Thor and Martincourt where the roadbed has been destfoyed, the material hay the German positions on the heights beyond. To the south of this Remilly was captured.
 It is estimated that the Germans are determined not to yield Sedan unless absolutely forced to do so. They have made big concentrations on the heights back of the city and in such places as can be defended both above and below the river Concrete entrenchments near the city are strongly held, while all the woods and bridges in the neighborhood thave either been destroyed or mined.

days, held their balance and announced their determination to await an offl- cial announcement. But excitement on the streets rose to hysteria, crowds assembled before the White House and government departments and soon the committees were as wild as anybody else, and the demonstration was under way. Floats and banners were paraded on Pennsylvania avenue and other broad thoroughfares, bands played and banners were hoisted.
 Before the White House, a cheering mob surged before the gates calling for Wilson" The president left the lunch table to see what it was all about and his appearance on the Veranda was the signal for an outhurst that made the yelling of a minute before seem tame. In response to shouts the president waved his napkin and smiled, but he quickly disappeared within the White
 House doors, apparently realizing his presence was lending weight to a report of a momentous happening of which the government had no confirmation.

NEW YORK GOES DELIRIoUS
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

NEW YORK, Nov 7.-S Sophisticated New York became delirious with joy today, over the unGounded report that Germany had agreed to armistice terms which meant unconditional sur render. The celebration seemed d com bination of Fourth of July, election night, New Years Eve, Thanksgiving day and Christmas.
 Tho excitement which seized the city's millions at the word peace" was picturesque and ear-splitting, but as realization grew that it was premature, it's tragic side came forward.
 Not all the celebrators had joined in the hilarious flag waving, horn blow ing, impromptu parades. Thousands of fathers. mothers, wives and sisters went into every church with open doors to offer prayers of gratitude because they thought the fighting had ceased.
 These were some of the results of the peace report:
 Police Commissioner Enright ordered the city's giant sirens to sound the tid- ings and all the other whistles and | bells in the city followed suit Mayor Hylan ordered all city offices closed for the day and issued a prOcla- nation calling on the public to cele- | brate. The mayor also ordered that a great parade be staged tonight to mark
 the end of the world war" but later directed that the pageant be delayed until it is known the war is over. | Thousands of offices, business places and factories suspended operations so | their employees could make merry. | Stock exchanges closed at 2.30 D. m. and Wall Street soon was deserted. 1 Every person in New York, not lame halt blind sick ar in iaiI joined in tbn demonstration. Schools were dismissed | early and children paraded.
 Vehicle traffic in the principal thor
 oughfares was suspended because mo- tors and wagons could not force a path through the densely packed multitudes
 Hours after the report of an armis-
 tice had been officially denied, the city
 was a bedlam. It seemed New Workers
 were much more eager to credit reports
 of peace than that the war was not vel
 over.

BlSBEE WARNED QUICKLY

BISBEE, Nov. 7.-But for the prompt denial by the Associated Press of a 1alse report that an armistice had been signed with Germany, the copper mines Tn this district, employing several thopsand men, would have been closed down for at least a day, in celebration Of the event. Indignation at the per petrators of the hoax followed the re- celpt of the denial, which was bulle tined by the Associated Press paper here. An extra published by a local paper using the news service at fault. was circulated through the city. while the news was telephOned to tho score or more of active operating mines in the district. Employes who have been working at top speed for a year and half to get outscopper for the nation. at once decided to take holiday to celebrate. public celebration was being arranged when the denial by inc Associated Press was received and oulletined. saving the situation and sending the men back to their war work

FROM JOY TO INDIGNATION

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. "A peace celebration held here today. when false report was circulated and published by one newspaper to the ef- feet that the German armistice ccm- mittee had signed armistice terms sub mitted by Marshal Foch, later became an indignation demonstration. The change in the attitude of the cele- brants came when official statements carried by the Associated Press were made public by Associated Press news papers.
 Governor simon Bamberger. on the strength of the false report, dismissed the employees at the capitol for the day and addressed an impromptu audience in the capitol grounds.
