CHAPTER IXV


AS the conference between Mar
shall Foch and the German delegates
proceeded, and in anticipation of adj
vices regarding the armistice, tele-
phone lines were kept constantly open
between my headquarters and those
of the First and Second armies.
When word came to me at a. m.
November IL, that hostilities would
cease at II a. M, directions to that
effect were sent TO our armies immedi-
ately. Our troops had been advancing
rapidly during the preceding two days.
and although every effort was made
to reach them promptly a few could
not be overtaken before the prescribed
hour.
A brief account of the conference
with the German delegates was given
to me a few days later by General
Weygand. He said the Germans came
across the line by automobile the aft
ernoon of November and boarded
special railway coach sent by the
French to meet them. During the
night this car and the marshal's were
placed side by side in the forest be-
tween Compiegne and scissors.
The emissaries were ushered into
the marshaFs presence, and after pro-
ducing their credentials were asked
the object of their visit. They replied
that they had come to discuss the
terms of an armistice. The marshal
then made it clear that he himself
was not requesting an armistice and
did not care TO have one.
When asked if they wished an arm
istice they replied that they did. The
marshal said that if that was the
case, here were the terms. a copy of
which he handed them. The severity
of the demands seemed to surprise
them and they appeared very much
depressed They had no power to sign
an armistice they said, without the
consent of the chancellor. and after
some little discussion they started an
officer to the German capital with the
terms.
They did not seen to object to turn
ing over 5000 cannon, but deplored
the condition which required them TO
surrender 10000 machine guns. They
finally succeeded in having this re-
duced to $4,000 machine guns on the
ground that they might have some
left for riot duty. In speaking Of the
danger of riots. the delegates were

unsuccessful in keeping birds from the
pine seedlings in a Texas nursery. The
tender plants were repeatedly at

plants were destroyed. The birds
were offered a substitute meal in the
shape of oats planted between the
rows of seedlings and the result was
they soon went after the grain and

On June II. 1772, the armed British
schooner Gaspe, which was patrolling
the coast of Rhode Island to enforce
the trade and navigation acts, so
hateful to the American colonists,
attempted to stop the Providence
packet, Hannah, commanded by Cap
tain Linzee, and chased the coloni-
al vessel into her home port where
the British man-of-war went aground
on a sandbar. Lieut.. William Dud-
dingstone, commander of the Gaspe,
had made himself very offensive in his
attitude toward the coasting vessels.
So when Linzee brought the news Of
his plight to Providence the people
there resolved to make the most Of
their chance.
That evening Ga picked men, all dis
guised as Indians, set out in eight
long boats under the leadership of
Abraham Whipple, and arrived in sight
of the stranded Gaspe about two
O'Clock in the morning. There were
few firearms in the boats but every
man was well supplied with round
paving stones for weapons and when
a British sentinel challenged them,
their reply was hail of stones which
sent him tumbling hastily below deck
AS the boats closed in on the ship.
their crews swarmed over the side
and quickly beat down any resist
ance offered by the sailors Of tie
Gaspe. Then hastily setting fire to
the ship, they returned to their boats
with their captives and pulled away,
but stayed within sight until dawn
when the schooner blew up. Then they
rowed back to Providence with the
tide, released their prisoners and scat
tered to their homes. The British au-
thorities were furious when they
heard Of this affair and offered re-
ward of thousand pounds for the
drei pounds and free pardon for any
member of it who would turn inform
ers.
