haps something to do with it. It con-
Germs the famous telegram So from
Brest to America on the afternoon OF
November z by Mr.. Howard, president
of the United Press. This telegram
read:
"U ;ent. Armistice with { ,rmany
signed this morning, IL o'clock. Hos
tilities ceased q in afternoon"
1t was Admiral Wilson, commander
in-chief of the American naval forces
in France, whose headquarters were at
Brest, who had given the telegram to
Howard. The admiral had received it
fir Comdr. Jackson, naval attache at
the American embassy in Paris. Sub
sequent investigation revealed that
Cc-ntr. Jackson had received the report
by telephone from somebody in official
relation with the French war Office.
I did my best to trace that mysterious
tele ne call There is no [ It that
Comtir. jackson received from one of
the telephonistS of h. staff the tele-
phonic communication that "the officer
of liaison between the French ministry
of war and the American embassy in
forms you that the armistice has been
signed"
Whoever telephoned the message was
careful enough to avoid saying whether
he was a French or American liaison
officer, of whom there were many; and
I am convinced th.t he was q German
agent. Com:r. Jackson was not able to
trace the call back from the embassy,
and Immediately called in the liaison
officers of my staff and Of the G-2 Ct
the French army at the ministry and
the telephone operators, but none of
them had sent the message. It is not
difficult to see the advantage that could
accrue to the Ger1r"~r If they could
foist the false story oil the armistice
upon the masses Of France. fmerici and
ENGLAND They could then say to the
alhci officers who we're debating the
terms of the armistice. you see your
people want peace as badly as Germany
does" ~:

that the German delegates had not yet
come through the lines.
The news spread rapidly throughout
Brest, and the whole population gave
itself up to joyous celebrations, which,
however. did not last long; for the re-
port was denied almost as soon as 1t
had been received.
This was not so in New York, and,
in fact, all over America. The report
was not denied until very late, and this
gave rise to demonstrations similar to
that which we saw In Paris on Novem-
Der IL Next morning the American
newspapers announced that the report
was mvs' f1cation, and normal life
retur I'd.
The American authorities had a mi
mute investigation made to discover the
origin of the report. Many Americans
believe-and perhaps they are not
wrong-that this mystif1cation was the
work of German agents in France who
believed that popular demonstrations
for peace in the allied countries, show
ing that they, too, wanted the armi-
Stice, could have the effect of exercising
pressure on the allied leaders, thus

CEClLE, | shouldn't dream of
scolding you and | don't think you
are silly. But you are too young vet
to let any man think you have set
tied on him as the only one. It's all
right to admire him and be good
friends but you must keep your feel
ings to yourself and not let him
suspect them. There are two reasons
for that. In the first place you want
to find out whether your feelings
are going to last. | know you are
perfectly sure they will but I've
known scores of girls who were Just
as sure as you are and when they
were two years older they wonder
ed how they could have thought
they were in love before-they found
somebody else they liked so much
better. Now such thing is just as
likely to happen to you as to any
other girl of your age, so | want you
to protect yourself by keeping your
present feelings secret.I don't think
you're silly but the doctor might
think you were. The next reason is,
If this doctor is especially attracted
to you and wants your love he is
perfectly able to say so. It's his
business to be friendly and sympa-
thetic with his patients. You would
not want a doctor who wasn't. But re-
member that friendship and sympathy
can exist without love. A doctor
would be in a tough place if they
couldn't. | want you also to re-
member that there are usually some
silly women who get infatuated with
doctor who is kind and magnetic
and try to get sentimental with him
and this very doctor may at this
very moment be bored by some such
women and be trying to think how
he can be nice to them and still not
get roped into any love making. So
don't join that class of women. II
there's any love making done, wait
and let him do it. | infer of course
that he is "a single man.

toward that person and to enjoy his
or her company when you happen to
be together, A man can like great
many girls and girl can like n
great many boys and enjoy being
with one quite as much as with
another. The fact that he 'likes"
you doesn't mean that he would
rather be with you than with any,
one else. There may be several
other girls that he likes just as
well. Yes, liking often turns into
love when the persons are thrown
much together. On the other hand,
people can like each other for years
and never fall in love with each
other. The only thing you can do
is to be friendly when you see him
and show an interest in him ana
be such good company that he will
want to see you again. Remember,
though, that you can't hold his real
and lasting friendship by doing any
thing that you ought not to do. To
make him truly care for you, you
must be girl that he can respect

You can write the other man frank

feeling for him. 1t wouldn't be
doing him any favor to marry him
when you love somebody else. In

injustice, because you could never
