thing seemed blank for few minutes.
Then rumors Uhe y. T., f. lived on
rumorsD came that we would he part
of the army of occupation and go up
ON the Rhine. Some of Us wanted to
do that, and some thought we ought
to take the next boat for the states
and no one gnew jusl what we would
do. About the 18th, however, orders
came for us to move south.
Move South
The train was to begin travelling late
in the evening but we had one truck
with a broken rear housing, and on
this was loaded our piano. some medi-
cal supplies ana quartermaster sup
plies. with orders to proceed to some
village with an unmentiouable name,
south of Bar-lc-Duc we took to the road
shortly after noon, with Corporal Brad
ley mt the wheel and chief Mechanic
Needham in the assistants seat. Wag
oncr Stages and myself accompanied
as passengers.
As far as Condo we were fairly ia
miliar with the road, but south of that
point none of us had been. \ few of
our trucks We're already in Conde, and
we found them loaded and ready to
travel, but with orders to wait till sev
eral hours later in the evening, so we
went ahead in the dark over the strange
road.
About o'clock we struck long
grade. something near three miles, and
at the foot of it we rolled into the city
of Barbecue.
Although the armistice had been
signed, people still had the lights out"
habit. and the town was as dark as

out in search of bacon and eggs, ana
found ham and eggs. which served the
purpose admirably.
1t took over an hour to get the feed"
and when we got back to the truck
the NJ. p. on duty told us that our.
train had passed through and would
be well on the road ahead ow us. That
gave us some little clue as to what
road to take to get out Of town. ana we
"got."
The rain turned to snow, and Bradley
declares that he drove with his eyes
shut, but we kept rolling just the same.
Passed through village after village
without seeing signs of the train. until
finally we nearly collded with a couple
of trucks parked for the night, and
there found the outfit had taken pos

were keeping them supplied with ra-

days, until finally we were released
with orders to roll straight ahead and
If we made good time we would reach
the village Of Ailleville where we had
lived before we went to the front. That
sounded almost like going back home
and every man in the outfit was in a
good humor as we covered mile after

November evening.
At o'clock we rolled through Bar.

RumOrs of Armistice

Thus we drifted along, and were prac-
tically 100 per cent equipped by the
eleventh.
OF course we had been hearing ar
mistice rumors but had paid very little
attention TO them, although the French
insisted that the armistice would be
signed without doubt.
Early the morning of the eleventh a
Frenchman came through and stated
that he had seen telegram which
stated that firing would cease at Il
o'clock. That sounded all right, but we
wanted it from our own headquarters.
At 10:30 o'clock Captain King came in
from headquarters in his Dodge. with
the klaXon raising Cain" and then we
knew it TO be a fact. And sure enough.
at IL o'clock the distant rumble of the
