 Marshal Foch's message follows: My valiant war companions:
 The 11th of November 1918, saw the equalization of the enemy; van- Quished Germany was craving for mercy and she delivered over to us such trophies as history has never known.
 '"This was indeed the victory of the allied armies, who ardently fighting had united in a supreme, continuous and violent effort all their energies as they had united all their peoples.
 With head erect, the valiant American fighters of the LArgonne, of the Mouse, of the somme. of Elan ders, after hard days, resumed once more by the side of the Allies, the march toward the Rhine.
 "Tn this day, when for the first time we celebrate the anniversary of the armistice, I want to be with you to commemorate the past and to tell you that, with our eyes ever raised toward the same ideal of justice and liberty, we must remain united as we have been in the days of trial and the days of triumph.
 Proud of Americans.
 Proud to have been at your head, I send my most cordial greetings to the veterans of the great war; illus trious by their imm ortal deeds, and to those who in the camps of America, were preparing with ardor to come and take their part in the. battle.
 Lastly, I wish to salute, as ever living in a memory of the past and on the threshold of a future common to us, the tombs of those who lie in the soil of France, resting there as a symbol of Our indissoluble union.''

Major Maurice Pcasc Appeals to Pub lie to Support Movc-Taggers to Be Out in Force TOmorrOw-Small Towns Make Reports.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, November il, is Armistice Day, the local Red Cross organization, affiliated with the na- tlonal body, is to wind up its campaign in this city and before this time to- morrow night there must be twice as many people added to the member ship as there has been in the week past, if the city wishes to come up to it's quota of over 15,0O0 members Every endeavor will be put forward by the. various workers to reach every person in the city with the ap- peal to become patrons of the or ganizatiOn by subscribing the sum of one dollar. '"The city must go over the top,' said M. IT. Pease, local chairman, today. It has done it be- fore and it can do it again.
 There is great need for funds to carry on the work which the Red Cross has been doing and New Britain should do it's share" said the man who was in France as a major in the army, and who is now fighting for the Eed Cross at home. 'There is an impression that the organization has a great sufficiency of money, but this | is not so. It is true that it has been given enormous sums in the past, by the public, but this money has been put to the best of use and we need more for the same purpose. We have not wasted the money so generously subscribed nor will we waste what we now get. It is the duty of every one who can spare the small sum of one dollar to give it and an effort will be made to approach all with a personal appeal. Should we fail we hope that those that we do not find will turn in a membership application at a booth, or with one of the street workers"
 The ward workers are expected td get in the greater part of cac nouse to house CAnvass by tomorrow night A great deal has been expected from this source. In addition the factories are being canvassed and the Flying Squadron" of automobiles, carrying solicitors who look for window cards and approach the houses which do not. contain them, is at work
 More Workers Tomorrow.
 Tomorrow there will be an added number of workers placed upon the street to tag all who do not display a button. Those who have subscribed are urged to show their mem bersllip credentials in Q conspicuous place. Armistfce Day will be Tag Day, also. The man without a Red Cross but ton will have little opportunity to hide and it is inconceivable that any one may state that he was not ap- preached, with the efforts that are being made to reach everyone in New Britain. Wear Your Button" tomorrow.
 One Third of Quota.
 The first figures from the out of town teams Were handed in today: Kensington $100; Berlin S125: New ineton $10O; Plainv7ille $500. About one-third of the quota has been reached so far and the committee in 1 charge is doing all in it's power to bring the figures up to the desired mark

Franklin Street Man Meets Tragic Death While Walk ing Tracks Near Elm St. Crossing-Head Severed From Body.

Within half an hour after he had conferred with John Di Nonho, local representative of the Ita1ian-American Steamship company and paid over an amount of money sufficient to bring his two children from Italy to the United States and thereby complete his family circle in New Britain, the body of Raffaelo Ciccio, of SS Frank lin street, was found, decapitated, on the railroad tracks east of the Elm street crossing, last night.
 Head Cut from Body. ,>
 As he was alone at the time, it is still mystery how the accident oc- cured, but it is probable that because of the darkness and the curve in the tracks at that point, he failed to ob- serve the approach of the onrush1ng train en route to Hartford. When found beside the track, the body was lying about two feet from the railroad ties with the head severed at the neck by so clean 9 cut as not to damage the collar of his coat break his chin-bone. His right hand was badly mangled at the wrist.
 Wife Identifies Body.
 The sight was a gruesome one and to it was added a touch of pathos when the wife of the victim who had been at home awaiting his return from the office of the steamship book ing agency was brought by d neighbor. to the scene to view, the remains and identify them as her husbands. Few of 1,n f,,no af ftoy. the body had been removed, as it was in a hidden spot Police Sergeant John J. King and Officers Joe Ken nedy and Thomas Woods took charge of the body until Medical Examiner Harry IA Elcock viewed the remains. The body was ordered turned over to the Laraia Undertaking company to be prepared for burial.
 Was Walking the Tracks.
 C>iccio, with a friend, called at Di No lno's office on Church street about o'clock and discussed plans for bringing his children here from Italy. They left together after satis- factory arrangement had been made, and walked up Church street toward Elm street. After talking for few moments at the corner, the two men bade each other good night, leaving by different streets. Crossing the tracks at Elm street, it is believed, Ciccio, as was his practice, left the crossing north of the gatetender's shed and headed eastward to reach his home on Franklin street by 8 short cut. The suicide theory, which was first advanced, because of the nature of the injuries, has been dis credited by both the police and the medical examiner, as there appears to be absolutely motive for self destruction.
 Was s Years Old.
 The deceased for some time, had been em plOyed a labOrer in the Stanley Rule and Level factory. He was highly esteemed by his many Italian friends, who regarded him as a quiet sort of man and they were shocked today to learn of his tragic death Surviving him, besides his wife, are three children in New Brit ain and the two in Italy who were to be brought here soon. He was 35 wears of age and attended St. Mary'g church.
 Funeral services will be held at the Uaraia undertaking parlors tomorrow morning and burial will be in St Mary's new cem metery.
