PERSHINC TELLS OF
LAST BATTLE OF WAR
before COMMITTEE

Washington Nov. 6.-The first OF
ficial report Of the last battle of the
war was made public late yesterday
when General John J. Pershing de-
tailed before the joint senate and
house military affairs committee the
activities of the American armies In
France on the day of the armistice.
The statement was made in re-
sponse to a question as to why there
was some fighting on the American
fronts after eleven o'clock on NO
vember IL.
II was notified late on the night OF
the tenth" said General Pershing,
..by courier from General Fochs head
quarters. that the Germans would
sign the next morning at IL o'clock.
The agreement was to fight right up
to the minute they signed. The pur-
pose of this was two fold; first TO
encourage their signatures ana sec
ond because we did not trust them or
their motives.
..At six O'Clock on the morning OF
the pleNeDIn j WAS iH iOhAii WAN 49,
eraf Foch's headquarters by special
communication and informed that in
dicatons were that the Germans
would sign as agreed
instructions were issued to cease
firing at 1859 on the morning of the
eleventh.
From the moment the instruc-
tioustions went out until IL o'clock
every shell that was possible to send
over into the German trenches was
fired"
Pershing hesitated, lost in medita-
ton and arousing himself, continued
in a low voice:
rAt II O'Clock firing ceased The
war was over, and | was glad. hope
ii is the last"
Pershing explained the reason for
few stray shots being fired by the
Americans after IL o'clock.
Some OF the advance troops had
gone SO far into the enemy's terri
tory that it was impossible for word
to reach them by that hour" he said

.FEVERISH ACTIVITY
IN BUILDING PLANES
EXPLAINED BY BOARD

Washington. Nov. 6--The present
reported feverish activity for develop
ment of commercial areonautics of
certain nations is nothing more than
q race for supremacy in arinaments,
declared report submitted by a spe-
cial board which Secretary Baker ap-
pointed to investigate creation of a
separate executive department Of mill
itary aeronautics.
The board, composed of Major
Generals Menoher, Coe, Haan and
Snow, said that in future wars aero
nautlcs will play an increasingly i'm
portant role but because of the short
life of aircraft and the great cost OF
production and maintenance, no ma
tlon can maintain in peace time air
fleets even approximating war time
requirements
Federal aid and control of aero
nautics was recommended along the
following lines:
FURNISHING weather reports to
air fleets
2-National and international reg
ulation of air traffic.
3--Licensing of pilots.
4---Inspection and licensing of air
craft.
Observation-Disclosures of signals and
maps
6-Enactment of accident and in.
surance laws.
