lone Wheat Is Of Extra Good
Quality, Making Good Yield

Wheat In the lone section this year
is of extra fine quality, according to

high as 62 pounds. Mr.. Yount says

German Army At It's Last Gasp
In November, 1918, As Is Shown By
Statement Issued By French Staff

Paris. France. June 1S.-Refuting
the contention Of the German militar-
lists that the German army was not
beaten in the field but betrayed by
revolutionaries at home. the French
general headquarters staff has issued
a statement showing that In Novem-
Der last. when prince Max Of Baden
pressed for an armistice. the German
army was at its last gasp.
On November II. 1918. Hindenburg
had only 1S4 divisions in the line,
with only IT divisions in reserve,
while Of these latter only two were
fresh. five had been reformed and
10 were battle worn and virtually
unusable. The German army. in fact.
was at the mercy OF any further sin
gle reverse.
It was in full recognition OF this
fact and not because the home 'front.'
was weakening that Hindenburg
wrote to prince Max on October as
follows:
The supreme command Of the
army maintains its demand. formu-
lated on Sunday. September g Iast.
for an immediate offer OK peace TO
our enemies.
Following the collapse OF the
Macedonian front and the resultant
diminution OF reserves for the
western front, in view also OF the
fact that we are unable to make
good the very high losses that have
been inflicted upon us in the last
few days fighting. we can no longer
entertain any hope-as far as any
man can 5udge-of forcing the enemy
to make peace.
The enemy. on his side, is daily
throwing new reserves into the bat
tie. Nevertheless. the German army
stands firm and Is VIGOROUSLY re-
pulsing all attacks. But every day
the situation grows more critical
and may force the high command
to decisions heavy with consequences
q. E.. to stake all on a single throw
IN these circumstances It is far
better to stop the fighting in order
to save the German people and their
allies useless losses. Every day
lost costs us thousands Of brave
soldiers"
When the Germans began their last
great offensive on March q. 1919.
Hindenhurg had 1S6 divisions in the
field and rs in reserve. all fresh
troops.
on May 81 he had 20s divisions en-
gagged and 81 in reserve. but Of the
latter only 60 were ready TO be thrown
in. From then on defeat began 70
set in although on July Is there were
still 207 German divisions IN the line

LITTLE BUILDING ACTIVITY IN NORWICH


 There is but little activity in build ing circles in Norwich owing to the advent of winter weather and the big increase in the price of materials and labor. Few large buildings have been erected during the past six months and there has been a decided dr6p- ping off in the erection of dwelling houses this year over the number erected in past years. The majority of the permits now being granted by the fire marshal are for garages, sheds and for additions and alterations to buildings.
 In the past week three applications have been filed with Fire Marshal H. L. Stanton. The Reliance Yarn Co, have filed application for a permit to erect one-story building on Stetson avenue. The building is to be 32xss tion.,
 Gerald F. Harris has filed appiica- ton for a permit to erect a garage on Ia~d owned by Harriet Spivery at r Quarry street. The garage is to be of wooden frame construction with board sides, plank flooring and with rubber old roof. The garage Is to be 1ox15 feet in size.
 Permission to erect an addition 1tc his present frame house at 51 Fair mount street is asked in an applica- ton filed by Aaron Gordon. The addi- ton is to be Sxl2 feet in size. The alterations at the house at II! Saohem street are now nearing tht completed stage.
