Church bells rang, Whistles blew,
n cheered End women wspt in FAR
oat earl ythis afternoon when a re-
a7t flew over the city to the effect
sEat the Germans had accepted the
armistice terms and that the war was
at an end.
The source Of the report was mes
sage which was received at the local
Western Union office saying that the
Germans had accepted and that the
actual fighting would cease at 2
o'clock, European time.
The news spread With remarkable
rapidly and soon the newspaper Of
fees were swamped with Inquiries: In
spite the fact that they had nothing
confirmatory OF this people accepted
it as feet and soon crowds began to
gather in the streets and the strain
Of months of anxiety snapped in little
spontaneous celebrations which socn
developed into ageneral march around
with men sheering. automobiles back
firing and other kinds OF hastily de-
vised noise making in full swing.
Mayor Bowen appeared at the cor
ner Of Main and Monroe streets with
large flag and that was the sigma
for what culminuted in a really larEe
parade which ior enthusiasm neve:
had its equal In this town. When h
reached the court house the Mayo
mounted the steps and both he and
Judge Raymond who appeared at his
side tried to say something to t:,c
crowd, but It would not listen. So IT,
Mayor again took his pace at the he's
and the march out Main street to
Quincy began. AS the procession
passed the business places the clerks
poured out and by the time the end
Of the parade came alcng practically
an the stores and business Places IN
the street were closed tight and their
usual occupants were out on the side
walks and IN the street.
Armistice Negotiations undoubtedly
are going on, but they have not cul-
minated yet. The dispatches bearing
upon the matter follow:
LONDON. Nov. 7.-Marshs1 Foch.
the allied commander in chief, has co-
titled the German high command that

The Americans now can see the towers
 of the Laon cathedral, reads special dis patch from the French front. Grand words 1!
 Full of great promise and radiant splendor
 The towers of Laon, the bulwark of the German lines in France. Last year the French, after taking the Chemin des Danes tried in vain to compass the fall of Laon. Many thousands of gallant French soldiers died all in vain on the slopes that lead up to Laon. They stormed forward as far as Malmaison and were holding this place pre- cariously when the big German drive be- gan last spring. And now they are com ing back again towards Laon, these French, and with them are lean, bronzed, eager men from across the seas. They see the cathedral spires and towers of Laon. How they glitter in the sunlight above the smoke and murk of battle! Towers of faith stand ing still against German hate and destruc- ton. How they beckon, these statel towers of the church of Christ, beckon for the gallant men of the oldest and the young est of the races of the western world to some and free them from the defilement of the base torch of barbarous and sin-cursed men. And they shall be free. Laon shall again be French and the Marseilles shall again peal forth from the nave of her fam ous cathedral and its towers shall again fly the tricolor of France Maybe not soon, but surely not far distant Those Ameri- can soldiers who gaze today from behind the fringe of Coucy forest at Laon, towers will never turn back without the guidon of victory Their eyes have seen the glory of the sunlight flashing on the spires of Laon and the light IS quenchless and it leads them on and ever on. And behind them come countless more soldiers from out the west and their heads are held high and their gaze is fixed eastward towards Laon and beyond Laon to other spires Always cast ward towards the aerie of the black eagle who desecrated aon and hundreds of other beautiful cities of a free land It is radi- ant sign set in the sky, this vision of the towers of Laon just before the onsweeping American battle line.

The Battle Crisis

Foch, while pressing the enemy all along the southern edge of the battle line and talk ing important ground east of Peronne and Noyon and fighting hard northeast of Sois- sons, seems to be marking time with his British armies since last Tuesday astride the Arras-Cambrai road and up to the canal du Nord just northwest of Cambrai The Brit ish have stopped dead at this point since their grand victory of Monday They have made no attack nor have they been at tackled. They are in position from which the vital blow of the war may well be struck at the German defenses in France. The logic of the situation points plainly to an immediate and mighty blow here. At this point and at this time the crisis of the en- tire campaign since July 8 rests Here is the Germans danger point. His rout of last Monday in this sector marked the low est German morale of the war Foch knows better than any one in the world when and where and how hard to strike But every one who is following the war closely Is paying but little attention to any other point in the battle line, while they hope and pray for another British blow towards Cam brai along the Arras-Cambrai road There will the German disaster occur, if disaster there Is to be this year.

Too Much MaricOpa

What does Osborn, candidate for gov ernor of all the state, mean by an adver- tisement that appeared yesterday in Phoe- nix paper and read as follows? "Maricopas native son, Sidney P Osborn, was born and raised in this county; he knows her needs, he believes in her future; if you believe that Maricopa county is big enough and import ant enough to elect the governor of Ari- zona, vote for Osborn Where does the rest of the state come in. Does Osborn be- lieve only in Maricopa county? Does he know only and care only of her needs ? What is the idea? Where does Cochise, the biggest taxpayer of the state, come in :? There is entirely too much Maricopa and too little of Arizona in this advertisement and appeal for votes to suit the average citizen and taxpayer living beyond the pre- cincts of the state capital.
