and Brilliant Pageant.

Verdun, Monday, Nov. 11.-{By
the Associated Fwess. .)-Verdun
came into it's own tonight. While tn
bells of the ancient cathedral were
ringing the news of peace, the for
tress city was illuminated by a mill
tary procession headed by the drum
corps of the Twenty sixth American
division, which swung along the
crowded streets accompanied by a
detachment Of French buglers rep
resenting the famed defenders Of
Verdun.
Only a few hours before the Ger
mans had thrown large shells within
the city walls, apparently as a re-
minder that Verdun still was within
the range of their guns on the hills
to the northeast.
A large American flag was carried
by the men Of the New England
division, while the French buglers
bore the tri-color of France. The
soldiers were joined by a few civil
ians who had struggled back into
Verdun since the German repulse Oh
the north.

PEACE AND QUIET
ON BATTLE FRONT
Americas Last Act in war Was Cap
ture of Stenay BY Goth
Division.

With the American Forces on the
Meuse and Moselle, Monday. Nov. II,
(By the Associated Press)-The last
French town to fall into American
hands before the armistice went into
effect was Stenay. Patrols reported
they had found it empty not more
than quarter Of an hour before eIev-
en- o'clock. American troops rushed
through the town and soon allied
flags appeared from the windows. AS
the church bell solemnIy tolled the
hour Of eleven, troops from the Nine
tieth division were pouring into the
town.
Only a line of glowing camp fires
marks the front tonight. Except for
the rumble of thousands of trucks
and other noises incident to the stir
ring of enormous armies, there is not
a sound to indicate two great forces
are still fac1ngu each other. So far
no violation of the armistice has been
reported, there not being even an ac-
ctdental burst of machine gun fire.

Hoover Sees END Of
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
But Until Peace is Estab-

fees Are Necessary.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The ma
tton's obligation and opportunity to
serve stricken humanity in war torn
Europe by helping to provide sus-
tenance until the next harvest will
demand further sacrifices of the

at q conference here of state food
administrators.
Conditions of famine exist in
Europe, Mr.. Hoover said, that will
he beyond our powers to remedy
even with the carrying out of the
plan to ship from America twenty
million tons of foodstuffs during the
next year. In northern Russia alone,
he declared, there are forty million
people who have but little chance of
obtaining food this winter. Millions
of others throughout Europe he said
who can be reached must be fed.
This being the new world situa-
tion, created by the collapse of the

prime changes in our policies on to-
days outlook can be summarized:
That we may now advantageous

our wheat bread; that we will still
REQUIRE economy and elimination o.
aBwaste in its consumption; that for
the present we need conservation in
butter and condensed milk; that ul-
t!matcly we must extend this to all
the fats.
We can contemplate, at the most

The abdication of Emperor Charles

denied by q Berlin newspaper which
said he was at the Austrian capital
on October so and that he had been

going about the city. The most re-

AMERICA AND ALLIES TURN
ATTENTION TO PEACE TALK
Final Conference May Take
Long Time -- Economic
Changes at Home Are
Serious Questions.

Washington. Nov. 12.--America to-
day turned toward the ways Of peace.
| The United States with the associated
governments today took UP the prob
lens Of reconstruction.
Immediately ahead, however, dtplo-
matte Washington saw the peace con-
ference. Thirty days is the time al
lowed under the arnistice terms for
assembling Of the peace congress.
The armistice, however, includes a
provision for it's extension. The great
interests involved, the many govern
ments and nationaIities concerned and
the difficulties to be met in convening
such a conference in a short time may
cause an extension of the thirty day
limit.
1t was regarded as likely that the
peace conference will be similar to the
meeting at Versailles, where the
armistice terms were formulated The
Victors meeting separately probably
will decide upon terms and then the
defeated be permitted to enter pleas
Of modification.
Wage Changes Coming.
Industrially the change from war to
peace will create as many problems
as the change to war. War contract
plants must fbe converted to make the
commodities of peace. Workers en-
gagged in slch plants must be assimi-
lated as peace production. Wage
standards changed by the war, must
be readjusted. The war industries
board the war labro board and other
governmental agencies must be con-
tinued or substitutes be created, in the
opinion of officials, for the solution of
these problems.
The returned soldier must have
work and a home. This is a recon-
struction question that congress will
be called upon to consider. Other new
legislation making possible the return
to peace time basis will come before
congress.
With the war behind and peace
ahead, government officials today in
no wise discounted the tasks of the
future.

Danger Of Coal Famine.

The gravest danger of coal
famine in this city for next winter,
according to Fuel Administrator
Andrew Foltz, is the early accumu-
lation in local dealers yards until
they have to stop receiving it for
awhile. Such stoppage would be
total loss, as the coal diverted dur
ing that period could not be after
ward secured.
At the present time two dealers
have coal and two haven't any, but
Mr.. Foltz hopes to secure some more
shortly. An embargo at Lehigh juno
ton has prevented coal coming here,
for the present, and Stockton has
been entirely out, although three
carloads are now on the way.
The local administrator says if
people who can afford it will order
coal now, they will be helping those
less fortunately situated, either
through lack of funds or storage
places, and who will have to obtain
their supplies as needed through the
winter. Those who can afford to
order now should pay promptly. too
as the dealers have to buy practically
on a cash basis, to get the coal, and
if many customers delayed their
payments for awhile it would be a
real hardship to the dealer who had
his money tied.
1t is expected that the coming
year will be from 1900 tons to g.
900 tons short of lasts winters sup
ply, and while the severe winter
is not likely to be duplicated, which
will help to make up some of this
quantity, there will be an actual
shortage.

To Americans Of German Descent.

DO YOU. as an American man or
woman of German decent, do the bid
ding of the Kaiser?
Are YOU subject of Potsdam,
meekly obeying orders issued there?
The Kaiser boast that 100000
voters in this country cast their bal
lots in slavish obedience to his will.
Read what he says, then act to un-
mask this monstrous lie:
Even now rule supreme in the
United States, where almost one
half of the population is either of
German birth or German descent,
and where 100000 voters do my
bidding at the presidential elections.
No American administration could
remain in power against the will of
the German voters who through that
admirable organization, the German
American National League of the
United States of America, control
the destines of the vast republic be-
yound the sea. If man was ever
worthy of a high decoration at my
hands it was Herr DIR. Hexamer, the
president of the league, who my just
Iy be termed to be, by my Grace, the
acting ruler of all the Germans in the
United States"
If you, as sovereign American
citizen of German stock, want to
assert your manhood or womanhood,
refute this slanderous attack on free
citizens by signing the call to democ-
racy of the Friends Of German De.
mocracy.
The call referred to can be seen al
my office and | will be glad to have
all persons interested call and see il
and, if they desire, sign the same.
