The Day of November 10, 1918.

The Day OF November IU, lSIo'
Our hopes of having real news OF
what was happening in Germany were
realized in part. About 3 O'Clock IN
the morning I received code message
informing me that the German EN-
peror abdicated yesterday evening ana
new popular government has peen
inaugurated in Berlin. The garrison
of that city is backing the new gov
ernment."
1t will be recalled that, as matter
Of fact, on November 9, at IL O'Clock, the
chancellor, Max of Baden, had taken
upon himself to announce the aDdlca-
ton of the Emperor, although the latter,
in his interview with Hmdenburg ana
Gen. Groener, one hour previously, had
formally refused to abdicate. On the
some day at 2 in the afternoon Herr
Scheidemann, speaking in the Reich
stag, confirmed the abdicatlon ana pro-
claimed the republic. 1t was only at
2:l5 O'Clock that Wilhelm II abdicated
as Emperor, adding but not as KING
of Prussia"
At O'Clock in the afternoon Hin
denburg, who had just learned that
revolving troops, animated with the
most hostile feeling toward the En-
peror were marching on Spa, begged
Wilhelm to withdraw into Holland. This
has since been denied, but the old
marshal himself in letter to the En-
peror on July %, 1922, formally ac-
cepted the full responsibility OF the
move.
Retains Prussian Title.
Wilhelm II, after long and painful
discussion, finished by accepting the
suggestion of Hindenburg, and it was
arranged that he would take the train
for Holland at 10 o'clock that same
evening.
At 10 o'clock everything was ready.
The Emperor arrived on the platform,
but as he was about to enter the train
he changed his mind again and said he
was not going. He went back to the
little village to pass the night again.
Marshal Hindenburg renewed his ap-
pealS, and finally the Emperor left for
Holland at o'clock in the morning of
November 10, 1918.
He had to wait six hours at the Dutch
frontier before receiving authorization
from the Dutch authorities to cross it.
Naturally, with the difficulties of COM
munication, as we were still in a state of
war and hoStilitieS had not ceased, it
is easy to understand how Impossible it
was to be fully informed about these
events.
November 10 was a..Sunday. Clemen-
ceau came early to tie ministry and we
resumed our conversation of the eve
ming before About 10 o'clock Gen.
DesGicker telephoned for Foch to in
form us that "the German delegates
were very conciliatory and that they
desired, so they said, in order to avoid
fresh bloodshed, to show the emplace-
mentS of the delayed mines in the re-
gions newly occupied by the French
troops"
Tigers Suspicion Aroused.
They're too polite to be honest" ex-
claimed Clemenceau when announced
to him these excellent out unexpected
sentiments
IF they have become SO conciliating
it is because they have received infor-

Germany and that over the Rhine things
are not going WELL That augurs we'll

THE WORLD WAR ARMISTICE
Day.by-Day Negotiations Ten Years Ago.
BY GENERAL MORDACQ
military Secretary to Clemenceau.)

| Always haunted by the fears he ex-
| pressed the previous day, Clemenceau
| asked me about IL o'clock to call Foch
| by telephone and give him the follow
| ing instructions:
Before signing the protocol the Ger
mans must absolutely make written
declaration setting forth that they are
really the delegates of the government
actually holding power to Berlin ana
that they consider the government ca
pable of assuring the execution OF tne
armiStice."
Marshal Foch telephoned about noon
that the delegates would agree to the
first condition, but they had not replied
about the other. However, they later
accepted that too. During the after
noon fresh telephone calls from Focn
came in to inform us that everything
pointed to the Germans signing the
armiStice terms the same night.
AT 8 o'clock that evening there ar
rived at Rethondes two wireless mes
sages from@ the German government.
The first said: "The German govern
ment accepts the conditions of the
armistice laid down on November g."
The second message was exactly the
of acceptance there followed long
protest against the hard conditions inn
posed by the Allies, which, it said,
would reduce to famine the whole Ger
man nation, men, women and chlldren.
The text of these messages was 1mme-
diately communicated to Paris ana L
conveyed it to Clemenceau. 1t was
about half past in the evening,
but he was at the point of going TO
bed in his home in the rue Franklin.
Clemenceau Demands Submission.
Decidedly" he remarked, "the Ger
mans are always the same. They can
never be frank; they always have to
argue. They know verJ we'll that given
the internal situation of their country,
which cannot be be ter than their
strategic situation, they are perfectly
we'll obliged to sign the armistice, but
that does not prevent them from trying
evaSive measures.
What are they waiting for? In any
case, you telephone Foch to demand
an immediate signature. We've got to
finish this thing. Stay at the telephone
all night and let me know If anything
interesting happens. Let's hope that
the night will give them courage"
I transmitted Clemenceau's instruc-
tions to Foch. At about 10 o'clock that
night he telephoned that very long
telegram in code had been received by
the delegates from Hlndenburg: MarShal
Foch asked the delegates If they were
ready to sign, pointing out that The
quicker they did would be the better
if they wanted to avoid useless waste
of life.
They replied that they were ready,
but asked permission to decode the
messages they had received. Foch
could not refuse.
From II o'clock on, remained in
constant communication with Gems.
Weygand and Desticker, who merely,
however, confirmed that the Germans
were still in conference. Finally at
2 am on the morning of November IL
they announced that they were ready to
enter final conference for the sigma
ture of the armistice.
So the famous conference which con-
stituted the last act of the tragedy
which lasted for four and half long
years opened at 2:15 am.

AUTOMATIC BRAKE LINK
FOR RAILWAYS TESTED
Device Described as Air-Hose
Coupling Now Undergoing In
spection in Montana.

BY the Associated FTeSS.
BUTTE, Mont, November 13-In-
spection of a device by representatives
of the American Railway Association,
the adoption of which, it was said,
would vitally affect every railway oper-
ating on the North American CoR1i-
nent, began yesterday, when a group of
prominent air-brake experts watched
the service tests of an automatic air
hose coupling adopted as standard
equipment by the Butte, Anaconda &
Pacific Railroad.
The group, consisting of w. H. Clegg,
chief air-brake expert of the Canadian
National Railways; r. c. Burns, me-
chanical engineer of the Pennsylvania
system, and c. H. Wood, supervisor of
air-brake equipment for the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, is participating,
with Harry A. Gallwey, general man
ager of the B., A. g. p, and several
other rail officials, in four-day test OF
the device.
The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific has
installed the equipment on thousand
cars, and because of the heavy traffic
and peculiar operating conditions, which
railroad officials characterize as among
the most difficult in the United States,
the test is being conducted here.
The new device automatically couples
air and steam hose between passenger
and freight cars.

ISOLATION HOSPITAL
 VISITED BY NURSES
Hartford Institution Inspected
 by New Britain Corps

The staff of the Visiting Nurse association visited Hartford Isola- tion hospital. where the newer methods of' contagious disease nurs- ing technique were demonstrated by Miss Pagan. superintendent of nurses, Saturday.
 Various types of communicable disease are cared for by the same doctors and nurses without cross in- lection occurring, because of the rigid and complete separation of the articles used for each patient.
 Contak kious disease nursing Is done with as scrupulous technique as that used in any operating room in eparation for a major opera i ton and its maintenance may be as perfect in the home as it is in the hospital. provided the family will cooperate. #,
 Thorough cleansing of the hands for two minutes with soap and water. after performing the slight ,st service for a patient, plays one of the most important parts in the prevention of further contagion while thorough sterilization by boil. ing of all sundry utensils and dishes is also important. Adequate facili- ties for all these services are found at the Hartford Isolation hospital. The hospital is also interested in prevention. and since January 1928 has maintained a free clinic for giving toxinrantitoxin to Hartford children. Toxin-antitoxin., given into the chld's arm in three small doses one week apart will prevent the child from taking diphtheria. even though exposed to the most Nirile 1 type, it is claimed. This clinic. the nurses were told. was not open to children of adjoining towns. which they felt to be handicap to chil- dren whose parents see the wisdom of this treatment, but who cannot afford to have it given. In New Britain there is no free clinic for giving toNin-antitoxin. but the visiting nurses take care of pa tients with communicab ble diseases in their homes, this being the only nursing service available for these patients at present. Frequently up on the recpmmepdation of the doc tor, critically i'll patients are trans forrcd to Hartford Isolation hos. pital for constant nursing care. It was with considerable interest and enthusiasm that the visiting nurses heard about the excellent care pro- vidcd by the hospital for New Brit ain patients.
 The nurses visiting the hospital were Rachel C. Colby, Eva Rackici Hattie Recknaglc. Sara A. kecvers Helen Meehan, Anna Miskey, Anna O'ConneIl. Ruth Hartney, Elizabeth Tait, Justine Traut and Ruth Nolz.
