Washington. Nov THE supreme
war council at Versailles, It was
learned today through diplomatic
channels has under consideration the
starting point in framng terms OF an
armistice prCpos saals that Germany be

German side Of the Rhine and that
the entire German navy including sub
marines and the Helgoland fortress,
be surrendered.
1t is possible that the conditions,
when finally agreed upon, may not
emerge from the council in exactly
this degree but it is believed they
will be no less potent for preserv-
ing the military supremacy of the
allies, and at the same time offer
propositions which the Germans may
accept without further fighting.
The same information coming
through the same sources indicates
that the armistice terms as finally
agreed upon may be made known to

THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY
TICKET.

The democratic county ticket APP
pears on this page this week, and
will be carried until election day.
The paper shortage requires news
papers to conserve space. and nee
essarily but little space can be de-
voted this year to politics, but we
want to urge all our readers to
carefully study the names on the
democratic county ticket, for it is
one Of the best tickets the demo-
Gratis of Decatur county have ever
put in the field People are not
much interested in politics this
year, but they should take enough
interest to see that the best man in
every case is elected to fill the
county offices for the next two
years, regardless of politics. The
voters are acquiring the habit OF
voting for the men, not the party in
county affairs. and it is good
thing. Compare the county candi-
dates this year and vote in every in
stance for the man you think will
make the best official.
