WAR WORK FUND CROWS GREATLY
 BEFORE OPENING
Great Corporations and Indi- viduals Give Generously, While Every Agency Is Pushing Campaign
Special to The Review,

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 122.-On the eve of the great drive for the largest fund ever attempted to be raised by voluntary subscriptions for an altru- istic purpose, Dr John R. Mott, di- rector general of the United War Work campaign, when interviewed here today announced that the cam paign organization is reported com plete in every state in the Union down to the last county and township, the machine that it is hoped will secure not only the S170,5O0,000 originally asked but also the 50 per cent over subscription now necessitated to meet the demands of the army and navy, is in perfect running order
 It has been difficult for the national heads to hold all the states for the opening gun and a large number of advance subscriptions have been re- ported. One of the first flashes from any city telling what business firms have subscribed comes in the form of a telegram from Cincinnati. 1t shows the following corporations and their gifts. Proctor & Gamble, S20e,- GOO; T. J. Emery Co.,, SlO0.000; Gin cinnati Milling Machinery Co.,. S50,- GOO; R. J. Lexlond Co.,, s60,000; Lux enheimer Go, S5O,000; Peters Cart ridge Co, S5O.G00: Perkins-Campbell Co., S5O,000; J. c. Schmidt Co.,, $35. O0O
 s'The crumpling of Germany" Dr. Mott stated, makes 1t apparent that an armistice is a matter of only a few hours, therefore, the great need and demand for work of the seven organizations participating in the drive this week are fast becoming a great reality. It is necessary that they secure a larger sum than was originally contemplated. It will cost more to serve our millions of soldiers and sailors and marines all the time than it has been costing to minister to them in the fragments of time between fighting. We are soon to enter on the long, bitter, cold months of win ter. We must not forget the death rate from pneumonia that prevailed last winter when we had compara- lively few men overseas. During last winter we lost from disease more than from bullets and gas during the same period. It is necessary for the united agencies to expand their plans so as to surround our men with conditions which will safeguard their health and assure them comfort and every con dition that makes for efficiency dur ing the coming nagging. tiresome win ter when war duty will have been withdrawn"
 Dr. Mott called emphatic attention to the hugeness of the task and warned against undue optimism and complacency. "To raise the original sum would have been an unprecedent- ed task" he said, but the 50 per cent over-subscription now imperative makes the effort all the more hercu- lean. The only hope of accomplish ing it is for every member of the national organization to keep right on his toes during the next eight days and for every last friend of the united war work agencies, Protestant, Catho- lie, Jew. and unbeliever. to back it to the utmost limit

barter for souvenirs. The Germans were bewildered by the number of Americans speaking German.
 Sure my old man was born in Germany" laughingly remarked one stalWart trooper. That's nothing said another. My mother and father were both born there"
 A middleaged Landsturmer ex- claimed: "Yes, the war is finished, thank the good God My only wish is to get back to Germany"
 A slender, pink checked machine gunner said: "Yes, know the kaiser has abdicated."
 Instantly a young aristocrat raised his voice: There will be no revOlu- tion in Germany; a new emperor will succeed"
 An uproar immediately arose. The speaker was drowned out by protest ing voices. Then the Germans began offerin gthe Americans such news and gossip as they knew The approach of an officer broke up the Ssnversa- tion.
 Tonight the Germans are celebrat- ing peace along the lines by firing flares. rockets and signal lights. The night is uproarious with cheering. The victorious Americans are taking it more calmly Along the front the majority of them are getting a good nights sleep.

 clearing of a storm. the guns on both sides abruptly ceased The silence was more startling than the deafening roar of the barrage For a brief min ute intermittent rifle fire followed, then came a pouse, punctured by rip. bling cheers from the trenches on both sides of the line.
 What followed on one sector, was perhaps one of the most singular events of the war. Against the sky line figures were suddenly silhOuetted. They appeared cautiously at first, but soon, growing bolder all along the line, they stood upright. These were Germans.
 The Americans were not so eau tious. As the barrage died. ending in 6. final husky rumble in the distance runners went sprinting along the fir ing line. Instantly experiencing, the whole line of doughboys leaped from trenches, foxholes and shell craters splitting the unaccustomed si- fence with a shrill cheer. The roar of voices was like an outburst at some college contest in America. when a contestant scores a classy play.
 Strange to relate, the defeated en- emy joined vociferously in the cheer ing, as the world war was finished.
 At one minute before eleven it would have meant death to show oen's self above shelter Not more than minute after the hour the rolling plain was alive with cheering. shouting men, friend and enemy alike. Not many minutes later Germans and Americans were coming along the narrow stretch of ground. so fiercely fought over. some shyly and awk- wardly, like embarrassed schoolboys.
 The first advances followed by of fers from the Americans of cigar cites. chocolate and chewing gum. The Germans in some places reciprocated with offers of hot opffee. bread and sausage
 The orders forbidding fraternizing were strict, but the novelty of the situation at times overcame prudence and doughboys surreptitiously visited nearby enemy dugouts. Along the barbed wire at road crossing some doughboys and Germans began a brisk

FocH AMENDS TERMS.
By Review Leased wIre)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Amend- ments of the armistice terms made by Marshal Foch after his first meeting with the German plenipotentiaries, as announced tonight by the state de- partment include the delivery to the United States and the allies of all Germanys submarines, instead of 160 specified in the original draft of the armistice.
 Another amendment specifics that the countries on the left bank of the Rhine evacuated by the Germans shall be administered by the local troops of occupation" instead of by the local authorities under the control of the armies of occupation.
 Instead of the immediate withdraw al of German troops from Russia, as originally provided. the amended terms specify that they shall be with drawn "as soon as the allies, taking into consideration the internal situa- tion of these territories (of Russia) shall decide that the time for this has come"
 Reduction is made in the amount of certain military equipment to be de- livered by the Germans to the associ- ated governments, including 25.000 in- stead of 3O.OOO machine guns and 17O0 airplanes instead of 2000.
 The number of railway cars to be delivered, however, is increased three fold-from 50,000 to 150,000. It is against the delisery of this amount of rolling stock that Dr. Solf, the Ger man foreign secretary, has protested to President Wilson, asserting that the distribution of food in Germany to the civilian population will be greatly hampered.
 Another amendment provides that ''The allies and the United States should give consideration to the pro- visioning of Germany during the arm istice to the extent recognized as nee essary.
 To assure the execution of the arm istice convention under the best con ditions the principle of a permanent international armistice commission is admitted" This commission will "act under the authority of the allied mill. tary and naval commanders in chief"
 An amendment to the naval clause provides that all vessels designated to be interned shall be ready to leave German ports within seven days of the signing of the armistice Direc- tions for the voyage (to either neutral ports of those of the allied countries to be designated) will be given by wireless.
 Other amendments include:
 Accommodation" instead of "aban- donment" of the treaties of Bucharest and Brest-Litovsk and on supplement tary treaties.
 Evacuation by all German forces op- erating in East Africa within a period to be fixed by the allies instead of within one month.
 German troops are required to with draw immediately from Austria Hun gary as we'll as from Roumania and Turkey.
 Evacuation by the enemy of the Rhinelands left and right banks) shall be so ordered as to be completed within thirty-one days in all, after the signing of the armistice. instead of nineteen days

THE LIBERTY LOAN AND
THE NEWSPAPERS

The relation of the newspapers of
the country to the Liberty loan and
other government efforts is expressed
in the telegram of Secretary McAdoo
to the editors assembled in New York
last week in attendance on the meet
;rg of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association.
"Will you be good enough to ex-
oress to the members of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton, now in session, my sincere and
warm appreciation of the great serv-
ice they have rendered to their coun-
try by their consistent, unselfish, and
patient support of the successive Lib
,rty loans, which have been offered by
the treasury department.
"These loans could not have sue
'eeded without the support of tn,
newspapers, and it gives me great
pleasure to make this acknowledge
ment. An enlightened public opinion
is the chief asset of a democracy. BY
'reeping the people of America in
formed on public events and tran $
hitting word of the financial and
other needs of the government, the
American newspapers have performed
a public and incalculuble service to the
nation. l know that the service will
be continued and that the newspapers
will do their full share in assisting
America to win this war for democ-
racy and JUSTICE"

The MONTANA COUNCIL
OF DEFENSE ASKED
To Lend Its Assistance to State
to Stamp Out Barberry
Bushes.

Helena, May 1O-Montana has this
history; the season so far has been
most FAVORABLE for the production of
a record crop and there is a recog-
milton that everything possible should
be done to prevent injury to the crop.
In line with this, and acting on the
suggestion Of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston, Governor Stewart re-
Gently issued a proclamation prohib-
iting the Importation of common bar
berry into this state.
1t has been demonstrated by plant
Psychologists that the most efficient
way of combating wheat rust is the
destruction of the barberry bushes.
North Dakota has a law which makes
it a misdemeanor to grow barberry
bushes. Minnesota and other states
have taken action along the same
lines. In Montana the situation is not
so perilous as in some of the other
states, but it is recognized that now is
the time to act here, and it is believed
that an appeal for the voluntary Grad
ication of the common barberry will
bring about the desired result.
The Montana Council of Defense
has been asked to lend its assistance
in this behalf and it has called upon
everyone to help in the work, because
the eradication of the plant means so
much to the preservation of the
wheat crop of the state.
1t has been suggested that Arbor
Day, which this year will be May IA
be designated as barberry eradication
day. The agricultural experiment
station at Bozeman is devoting its en-
ergies to assisting in graduating the
plant in Montana. Those who do not
know the plant should write to the
experiment station for a description
of it.
