The result was made more uncertain
as additional official returns were tab

were left with lead of only 3S1.
Mahoning county, reported officially,

ARMlSTICE DAY NOTE
WILSON TELLS SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE ANNIVERSARY.
Presidents Comment Shows a Tinae
of Disappointmen Over Develop
ments of Year.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Presldent
Wilson gave so the nation this ARMS
tice day statement:
ITO My owCountrymen:
"A year ago today our enemies laid
down their arms in accordance with
an armistice which rendered them inn
potent TO renew hostilties, and gave
to the world an assured opportunity
to reconstruct its shattered order and
to work out in peace new and juster
set of International relations. The
soldiers and people of the European
allies had fought and endured for
more than four years to uphold the
barrier of civilization against the ag-
gresSions of armed force. We our
selves had been In the conflict some
thing more than a year and a half.
With splendid forgetfulness of mere
personal concerns we remodeled our
industries, concentrated our financial
resources, increased our agricultural
output. and assembled a great army,
so that at the last our power was a
decisive factor in the victory. We
were able to bring the vast resources,
material and moral of a great and
free people to the assistance of our
associates in Europe who had suf-
fered and sacrificed without limit In
the cause for which we fought.
"Out Of this victory there arose new
possibilities of political freedom and
economic concert. The war showed us
the strength of great nations acting
together for high purposes, and the
victory of arms foretells the enduring
conquests which can be made in peace
when nations act justly and in further
ance of the common interests of men.
To us in America, the reflections Of
Armistice day will be filed with SOL
emn pride in the heroism of those who
died in the country's service, and with
gratitude for the victory both because
of the thing from which it has freed
us, and because of the opportunity 1t
has given America to show her sympa-
thy with peace and justice in the coun-
ellis of nations.

effort to increase its rate until the
guarantee period has expired"

DEAC0NS HAD LAST LAUGH
Good Story of How Boston Merchant
Furnished New Haven Church
With Baptisma Service.

In one of the older churches of New
Haven there is a very quaint and beau
tiful baptsmal service set of silver
and no less quaint is the tale of how
the old church came by the same.
1t was during the year that York
town fell that the trustees of the
church decided that the frame build
ing must have repairs and sent to Bos-
ton for six kegs of nails. In course or
time the kegs arrived on one of the
huge and slow-moving freight wagons
of the day and were duly delivered to
the carpenters.
Nails in those days were scarce and
expensive, each one being the hand
work of a blacksmith and as conse
quence Of the methods followed II
their manufacture the smiths usual!
turning out 100 or so ON days when
they had nothing else in particular TO
engage their attention. they were apt
TO be very irregular in size and de-
gree of perfection. The delight of the
chief carpenter was, therefore. great
when, knocking in the head of one
key he found the nails of remarkably
uniform size and indicating the best
workmanship and material.
"Ye were In luck, deacon" he re-
marked to one of the trustees who had
been present TO receipt for the six
kegs. for these be Spanish nails, made
at Toledo. Belize they were taken
from some Spanish ship by a sea
rover" He began to beat in the head
of another keg and uttered an eXca-
nation of establishment.
These bent nails, deacon" he
gasped, his eyes staring.
They were not. The key was full to
the brim Of Spanish silver dollars.
80 l see, Master Thomas" the
deacon remarked quietly. suppose
you head up that keg again, and will
call n meeting of the trustees to dis
cuss this matter. We must write to
the merchant of Boston concerning it."
The meeting of the trustees was
duly held that very day, and long and
earnest We're the arguments that took
place. What was the proper course
for them TO follow? Should they sim
ply write the Boston merchant that
one of the kegs had been found to be
full of silver dollars? The church was
poor and the deacons were Connect
cut Yankees to the bone. 1t was most
obvious that the Boston merchant had
obtained the lleg in some unusual man
ner and IT was a logical assumption
that he had paid for it on nail.valuc
basis, as he had sold It.
Then uprose one who might have
done mighty things In finance had he
lived century and half later.
Let us write" he said, ito this mer-
chant of Boston town simply the facts
that there was an error in shipment"
And so they did.
In time came the merchants reply.
He had bought the kegs from n pri-
vateersman; that they were sold as
bought and that no mistakes could be
rcCtifed "
And there is no doubt that the dea-
cons chuckled somewhat dryly as they
ordered the silver dollars of Spain
melted down and cast into that service
which can today be pointed out to the
youth of New Haven as an example Of
of, well, something.

Doherty. Those cars-350 of them

which greeted Toledo people as they

home, and after ordering the cars
shipped outside the jurisdiction of the
