Two Branches of Socialists
Have Come To Agreement

Amsterdam, Monday. Nov. H.
An agreement has been reached be-
tween the Socialist and Independ-
ent Socialist parties in Germany and
the new regime seems to have Sc
cured ample support from the press.
In addition to the Wolff Bureau,
the Socialists are now represented
by three newspapers, the Vorwaerts,
the Lokal Anzeiger. formerly the
emperors favoritc newspaper, and
now rc-christened the Red Flag
and the former semi-official organ,
the North German Gazette, which
has taken the new title Of The In
ternational.'
The revolutionary movement IS
continually spreading. Koenigsberg
Frankfort-on-Main and Strassburg
are now controlled by the soyiets.
1t is officially reported that there
are no disorders.
The foundation of the new Ger
man republic was proclaimed by
Philip Scheidemann from the steps
OF the reichStag building.
The cabinet. it is said, consists Of
Philip Scheidemann, vice president
OF the reichstag; Herr Tansberg
member OF the reichstag and Herr
Getiert, Socialists and Hugo Haase,
Richard Barth, editor OF Norwaerts
and William Bittman, member OF
the reichstag, Independents.

Peace Descended Like
Mantle Over Battlefront

With the British Army in Belgium
Monday, Nov. ll.-CBy The Associ-
ated Press. Peace descended like
a mantle over the battle front at
II o'clock this morning. The last
big gun crashed its challenge and a
great overpowering quiet replaced
turmoil, death and destruction.
Almost coincident with the sign
ing Of the armistice by the desperate
enemy. the city OF Mons capitulated
before relentless British pressure.
On this hallowed ground, the troops
now are resting on their arms, hap
py in the thought Of the fitness of
their final triumph. They had driven
the enemy out by the same gateway
through which Field Marshal Bue-
low and Field Marshal Won Kluck
hurled their great armies against the
valian little force OF contempt
bleS" in 1914.

Official Text Hasn't
Reached Washington

Washington Nov. l2,-The ap-
peal Of Doctor Solf, for Intervention
by President Wilson to mitigate
the fearful conditions OF the ar
mistice which he says threatens star
alton and ruin in Germany, had not
reached Washington today. in oln-
cial form. The text of the message
as picked up last night by wireless,
however, was before the president
and it may be given immediate con-
sderation.
Officials point out that in spite OF
Germany's treatment OF conquered
peoples in her hour of victory, it
has been made very plain that the
United States and the allies have no
intention of permitting the German
people to starve. While every stip-
ulation of the armistice terms must
be kept in force to prevent the pos
sibility of treachery by the beaten
enemy, it is declared such rolling
stock and ships as may be necessary
to provide food and other essentials
will be put into use in Germany and
on the seas.
I'm view of the situation in Ger
many, where outside aid may be nee
cessary to prevent anarchy it is pos
sible that the president may see fit
to take up with the allied govern
ments, the question OF giving some
kind of reinsurance as to the hui
name purposes OF the associated
powers.
Among other things, it is under
stood, the plan is to put the Ger
man merchant marine into service
as soon as possible after the prob
lem created by the naval revolt is
cleared up and such vessels nee
essary will be employed for sending
supplies through German ports.
Due precautions will be taken, OF
course. to see that these supplies are
devoted to the purpose for which
they are intended. 1t is supposed in
some quarters that Doctor Soils
plea may be designed to lay the
foundation of an attempt on the part
OF Germany to secure general modi-
fication OF the armistice terms be-
fore the peace conference.

Received Orders Well In Advance

cate the orders to all organizations.
Received Orders Well In Advance
Signal corps wires, telephones and
runners were used in throwing she
orders and so well did that big ma
chine work that even patrol COM
manders had received the orders we'll
in advance OF the hour. Apparently
the operators had been equally dill
gent in getting the orders to the
front line. Notwithstanding the hard
fighting they did Sunday 20 hold
back the Americans, the Germans
were able to bring the firing to an
abrupt end at the scheduled hour.
The staff and field officers Of the
American army were disposed early
in the day to approach the hour OF
eleven with lessened activity. The
day began with less firing and doubt
less the fighting would have ended
according to plan, had there not been
a sharp resumption on the part of
the German batteries. The Amer
leans looked upon this as wantonly
useless. It was then that orders were
senr to the battery commanders for
increased fire. Although there was no
reason for it, German ruthleSSness
was still rampant Sunday. stirring
the Americans artillery in the region
Of Dun sur Mcusc, and Mouzay to
greater activity.
German Ruthlessness Continued
Six hundred aged men and women
and children were in Mouzay When
the Germans attacked it with gas.
There was only a small detachment
of American troops there and the
town no longer was Of strateGical
value. However, it was made the di-
rect target of shells filled with phos-
gene. The enemy hurled them into
the town until every street reekcd
with the gas.
Not contented with this, the Ger
mans again drenched the place with
gas last night, even while they were
evacuating Stenay, few miles to
the north. Prompt work by the Am
orleans saved most of the civilians
from serious consequences.
Hailed Yanks as Deliverers.
Poorly claid and showing plainly
evidences of malnutrition, the inhab-
itants crowded about the Americans,
kissing their hands and hailing them
as delivereds. They declared they
had had no meat for six weeks. They
virtually had been prisoners of var
for four years and were overwhelm-
ed.with Joy when they learned that
an armistice was probable.
The little children between six and
ten years old spoke German alter
nately with French. 1t was the first
time they had seen Americans and
they showed plainly their amaze
ment.

INSURRECTION
IN MONTENEGRO

Paris, Friday, Nov. S.-A general
instruction has broken out in Mon
tenegro, the Temps says.
The Austrian forces of occupa-
ton have been withdrawn from
Montenegro and it is probable that
the reported insurrection may be a
conflict between elements OF the
Montencgrin population to gain
control pending the return of the
Montenegro government, which has
been in France since early in 1916.

DRAFT BOARDS ARE
TOLD TO HALT
PORTION Of WORK

Washington. Nov. l2.-Draft
boards were ordered today to stop
classifying men under 10 or over 50
years and to withhold queStionnaires
for such regstrants not already
sent out.
1t was said officially at the pro-
vost marshal generals office that
registrants of Is and from 81 to 46
years old have received question
naires need fot fill them out.
Formal orders or announcements
will be issued soon covering all
such questions.
Work or Fight" Nullified.
Cancellation of all draft calls and
induction yesterday practically has
nullified the famous work or fight
order promulgated last summer and
under which thousands OF men
flocked to essential industry on pain
of immediate induction, though To-
cal boards have been ordered to
continue classifying after physical
examination men between 10 and
50. The work or fight order falls
by reason OF the fact that the only
penalty attached was that OF being
placed in class one. With calls
stopped, the government has no
power to penalize the non-essential
employment.
The cessation OF the draft calls
found the work OF classifying all
registrants under the Is to 45 year
extended limits more than sixty per
cent completed in the United States
and entirely complete in some states
and localities. The stopping OF the
calls does not relieve any delinquent
who has failed to obey draft board
orders from the penalties which are
attached under the law.
A single order from the general
staff would suffice to start another
stream OF men flowing into the can
tonments and bring the work Or
fight and all other wartime require
ments back into force.
