WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
OflTHS SEDAN FRONT, Nov. fi (de- !
?iyed).?-If Ior no other reason, the !
Germans should have imposed upon ,
titm the most drastic of terms to se- I
girt M smiistice for their passing of !
ft? ullage of Beaumont, northwest of !
Verdun.
The enemy's conduct there should j
?Uni ont at the peace table that com- \
tag Germ?'? generations may ponder |
over the vileness of their ancestors.
Th? German troop? abandoned Beau
BMtbefore the victorious drive of the
?jwrieMlB, knowing that there re
Biintd in the village nearly 600 eivil
?M, whom they had robbed before ;
departing of everything they possessed,
including livestock.
Tuesday night gas shells began to
fill In Beaumont, and scoreg of those
tie'bad welcomed the Americans fell
ander the deadly fumes. Many heeded
the warning of the American soldiers ;
Hid fled from the village, hut others, |
kewildered when the Americans began ?
to speak,excitedly to them in a for?
eign tongue, were unable to escape, i
The number of dead is yet unknown.
The story of this outrage was learned :
tt?d?y from a returning officer. The
German officer?, who began to flood
Beaumont with thousands of gas shells
In the darkness, knew perfectly well I
?tat in fumy they were committing and
tilt no advancing army carries a suf
licicnt numoer of gas masks to equip
hundreds of civilians in liberated vil?
lages.
The evacuation of all civilians to j
places of safety in the, rear is now ?
progressing.
Another indication of the brute in- !
stinct which marks the Germans from j
generals to priv?e? was shown to-day :
to a captured document giving details !
concerning </omen gathered together ?
for immoral purposes in the various
tswns of the Ardennes and Argonne.
Distinction is made in the documents
between gir;., owned by the generals

?Every Village in France Rejoices?Verdun
Celebrates Us Liberation With International
Parade
?y Wilbur Forrest
'Speeia! Cable to The Tribun? I
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY 1
FRANCE, Nov 11 (Delayed).?The j
peace news spread like wildfire
throughout Lhe army this morning
"The blankety-blank war is over," was
the cor rfonar soldier expression.
Some o? the r-rn line troops heard the
iiew-i as oar'.f ?j? 7 o'clock this momiiig,
though .Ij -y were ordered to carry p:i
as iiSim' unt'i J.? o'clock.
The fir?t *.i:.? troops in the fifth di?
vision oast of the Meuse, in the vicin?
ity of Damvillcrs. rose promptly at 11
o'clock, throw their tin hats in ?'?? air
and cheered wildly. The reports from
other sectors indicate that this scene
was typical.
Every village in Eastern France is
beflagged, and every French and Amer?
ican war vehicle on the road is flying
the Stars and Stripes and the tricolor.
The French people are strangely calm,
through reminiscence of France's dead.
Verdun, which ha.? sufTered and bled
all through the war, is the scene of
memorable events to-day. Shelled by
the enemy until 11 o'clock, when the
armistice became effective, an hour
later Verdun emerged from 'the coma
of war and the joy belle of the big
cathedrals sent their soft tones over
the shattered buildings.
The American band, one of sev?
eral we have formed nfter the style oi
the French Chasseur bands, led the
historic procession through Verdtin'f
gtreets. With heads well erect and
blowing notes which blended with tht
softer tones of the cathedral bells t.hi
American khaki bandsmen marched
followed by a mass of humanity, white
black and yellow, black Senegalese so)
diers of France intermingling with thi
American, English and French, witl
their arms about ope another's shoul
ders, all jovous to the pottit of hysteri?
There was a look of bewilderment on
the fr.ces of the Orientals, as if unabl?
!" grasp (he significance of this west?
ern enthusiasm.
International soldierdoro in Verdun
bad prepared for h celebration. The
procession marched under bowers of
flags strung across the streets on wire
which until morning supported wind
torn camouflage protecting Verdun's
streets from the prying pf Ihe enemy
airmen, From cathedral towers great
American and French flags flapped in
the breeze.
Verdun, which has dodged shells
ever three, years, did homage to the vic
,'>-'. which would have gratified the
(iead eyes of vhe 300,'UOO P'rench sol?
dier- buried in the earth of the sur?
rounding country, who gave their live;
in Verdun's heroic defence.
Mons Entered by

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY KS
BELGIUM, Nov. 11 (By The Associate?
Press).?Peace descended like a mantlt
over the battlefront at 11 o'clock thli
morning. The last big gun crashed it:
challenge and a great, overpowerinj
quiet replaced turmoil, death and de
struction.
Almost coincident with the? signini
of the armistice by the desperate en
emy, the city of Mons capitulated be
fore reif ss British pressure. O:
this halli t.. ground the treopa ar
now resting on their arms, happy i
the thought of the fitness of thei
firral triumph. They had driven th
enemy out by the same, gatewa
through which Field Marshal vo
Buelow mid Field Marshal von Kluc
hurled their great armies against th
valiant little force o? "contemptibles
in 1914.
The population of Mons to-day pt
raded the streets, cheering madly the:
deliverers. Their glad cries must ha\
reached the ears of the Germans ou
h i tic- tho walls of the town.

During Armistice
Pershing Orders Army to
Be Prepared to Resume
at Instant's Notice
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
FRANCE, Nov. il (By the Associated
Press).?Orders announcing that v,
armistice between the Allied powers
and Germany had leen signed and giv?
ing directions as to the future condui i -
' of Allied soldiers along the line were I
sent to every corps this morning Th ;
were transmitted to the units in the
: front ranks. The orders follow:
"1.?You are informed that hostil- :
ities will cea>e u.one the whole- |
front at 11 o'clock :_ m., November ,
: 11, J018, Fans time.
"2..No Allied troops will pass the ?
I line readied by them at that hour in I
j date, until further orders.
"3.?Division commanders will im?
mediately -Ketch the location of their !
front line. This sketch will be re?
turned to headquarters by the courier
' bearing these orders.
"4.?All communication with the
! enemy, both before and after the
i termination of hostilities, is absolute?
ly forbidden. In case of violation
| of this order severest disciplinary
; measures will be immediately taken.
Any officer offending will be sent to ?
. headquarters under guard.
Only Truce?Not Peace
"?.?Every emphasis will be laid
;' on the fact that the arrangement is
an armistice only, and not a peace.
"6.?There must not be the slight?
est relaxation of vigilance. Troops
must be prepared at any moment for
further operations
"7.?Special steps will Be taken by
! all commanders to insure strictest
discipline and that all troops be held
in readiness fully prepared for any
' eventuality.
"8.-?Division and brigade com
? manders will personally communi
? cate these orders to all organizu
! tions."
Order Delivered Quickly
Signal Corps wires, telephones and
runners were used in carrying the
orders and so well did the big machine
! work that even patrol commanders had
received the orders well in advance of
i the hour. Apparently the Germans also
I had beet, equally diligent in getting
? the orders to their front line.
The staff and field officers of the
| American Army were disposed early in
! the d;iv to approach, the hour of eleven
with lessen', d activity. The day began
! with less firing and doubtless the fight
! ing wouiu have ended accjruing to p.an
! hud there not been a sharp resumption
on the v-:;rt of German batteries. The
! An.evict.,v-t looked upon this as wanton
; 'y uv-'lcsi. It was then that orders
weie sent to the battery commanders
< for increased fire.
When news of the ending of hostill -
tip.! arrived at a certain aviation camp,
the commander, who had instructed his
men the night before to make a recon
tjoissance, cancelled his orders and in?
formed his flier? that they would not
be allowed to cross the German lines
The thief of artillery had given pr?
liminary instructions that the guns
hould stop firing, but he cancelled th?
orders during the morning when "uiig
; riant divisional and brigade ?r..
launders said the Germans shoul'. be
punished for a gas attack on Mouza>
? and other places.
Another sharp offensive had been
planned for to-day east of the Meuse.
where the enemy w;is to be pushed as
far back as possible before the armis?
tice could be signed. Until the receipt
of the official orders, the army com?
manders went ahead with their plans
an though they had never heard of any
armistice talk.
The last French town to fall into
; American hands before the armistira
went into effect was Stenay- Pairo;?
: reported they had found it empty n.-i
non- than a quarter <>f an hour Ihnti
,l o'clock. American troops rushed
! tit rough the town and :n a few minutes
? Allied flag? were beginning to appear
I from the window?. As the church ba'!
I ?olmenly tolled the hour of 11, troops
from the 00th Division were pouring !
into the town.
A document found in Stenay, was I
significant, in view of the armistice,
ft was a long pronouncement from Gen- |
eral von Hindenburg, issued September j
~. in which he told the Germans that !
they were not beaten, "never can be
beaten, will win gloriously and will |
have all their desires fulfilled, if they i
resist not only Allied bullets and mili- |
tary strength, hut Allied, especially,
American, propaganda, dropped daily

U. S. to Need
4 Billions a Year
After Peace Comes
Tax Reduction Is Scouted
by McAdoo, Who Expects
New Loan Drives
Must Double Revenue
Prohibition Will Make Big
Inroad Into Receipts; .
Changes Considered
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.?Govern- '
ment financial needs for years are
almost certain to run above $4,000,000,
000 annually, treasury experts estimate,
and most of the money will be raised
ty taxation. Consequently, students of
government finances think the taxes
imposed last year, and paid in June,
will not be lightened materially by the
advent of peace.
Secretory McAdoo to-day warned that
taxes necessarily would be high for
many years to pay off war debts, and
that additional government loans would
be required. He did not attempt to
forecast, how large the volume of taxes
would be.
Treasury officials and Congressional
leaders in charge of revenue legisla?
tion figure this way:
Ordinary government expenses, of a;
billion dollars a year before th . war,
will now amount to $2,000,000,000, and
for two or thrv-e years after the war
muy be double that figure. If the
$16,850,000,000 of Liberty Bonds al?
ready issued are increased in volume
by later loans to $20,000,000,000 the
interest on this sum would amount to
about $1,000,000,000 a year.
Interest Charges High
It probably will be the government's
policy to establish a sinking fund to
pay off the bonds at maturity, which
would require $1,250,000,000 a year.
These three items would make an ag?
gregate near $4,250,000,000.
To offset this w< Ud be nearly a half
billion dollars annually from the Allies
as interest on loans, which now amount
to seven billions and are likely to run
higher, and "revenue from customs and
miscellaneous sources, which last year
amounted to about $450.000,000.
With allowances for wide variations
in these ??alculations. there would still
remain about three and a half billion
dollars to be raised from internal reve?
nue taxes. Last year $3,043.000.000
came from internal revenue, including
?52,775 000 000 from income and excess
profits taxes. This year, these figures
probably would be more than doubled.
Figures Are Not Definite
Factors which make this system of
estimates highly tentative, official:!
point out, arc that, the war was not yet
definitely over, so expense, war debts,
both of the American government to
the public, and if the Allied govern
ment8 to the Cnitca States, cannot now !
be figured. '
I.'econstructlon policies, yet to be for-,
rnulatcd, will have much to do with de?
termining how many existing govern?
ment war-time agencies shall be con?
tinued, and consequently how high
ordinary government expenses will run. ?
If the schedule of income taxes now
being framed in the new revenue bill
vorks out well, it Is considered prob?
?ble that the bulk of the after-the-war
revenue will come from income levies,
which next year will yield probablv
$2,300,000,000. Excess profits probably
would automatically bo abandoned after
he war, and liquor revenue would stop
if the constitutional prohibition amend?
ment is ratified, and sooner with the
passage of the "war-titue" prohibition
bill.
It i-: almost certain that the multi?
tude of minor taxes now levied on
transportation, insurance, admissions,
club unes, the excise taxes, stamp taxes
.-fid special taxes on certain businesses
now yielding comparatively little reve?
nue and very difficult, of administra
? ? > :i be abandoned.
Tobacco 'iii'i estate taxes, probably
will remain, it is said. Whether tar?
if schedules will be ruised materially
depends l>ii futuro formulation of.
policy. ;

One Minute After Firing Ceases Doughboys Leap From
Trenches to Visit Foes* Dugouts and Trade Candy
and Cigarettes for Sausages and Coffee
PARIS.. Nor. 12,?When dawn came '
yesterday morning there was no hint
of the cessation of hostilities. East
of the Meuse, regardless of the situa?
tion, the American Second Army at?
tacked in force at S o'clock. The on?
slaught was preeeaed by a tremendous
barrage, which was returned in kind
by the enemy. For three hours the
Americans swept forward, hurling
themselves against the wire entangle?
ments.
The German gunfire was devastating.
Then, at exactly one minute of 'eleven,
like a final thunder crash at the clear?
ing of a storm, the guna jd both sides
abruptly ceased.
The silence was mor? startling than
the deafening roar of the barrsire. For
a brief moment intermittent rifle fire
followed, then came a pause, punctu?
ated by tremendous cheers from the
trenches on both sides of the line.
What followed on one sector was
perhaps one of the most singular
events of the war. Against the sky?
line figures were suddenly silhouetted.
They appeared cautiously at first, but
bolder all along the line. They j^ood
upright. These were Germans.
A Regular College Cheer
The Americans were not so cau?
tious. As the barrage died, ending in
a final husky rumble in the distance
from the big guns, runners went
springing along the firing line. In?
stantly comprehending, the whole line
of doughboys leaped from trenches
fox holeB and shell craters, splitting
the unaccustomed silence with a shrii
cheer. The roar of voices was likt
an outburst at some great college con
test in America when a contestan
scores a thrilling play.
Strange to relate, the defeated en
emy joined vociferously iti the cheer
ing. The world war was finished.
At one minute before eleven ;t woul?
have meant death to show one's se!
above shelter. Not more 'han a minut
after the hour the rolling plain wa
with cheering, shouting mei
friend and enemy alike. Not many mil
utes later Germans and Americans wer
coming along the narrow stretch i.
ground, so fiercely fought over, soni
shyly and awkwardly, like embarra.-.-''
schoolboys.
Harter for Souvenirs
The first advances were followed I
offers from the Americans of cigarette
chocolate and chewing gum. Th '??
mans in some places reciprocated wil
offers of hot coffee, bread and sausag
The orders forbidding fraternizir
were strict, but the novelty of the siti
ation at times overcame prudenc
and doughboys surreptitiously visits
nearby enemy dugouts. Uong tl
barbed wire at a road crossing some
doughboys and Germans began a brisk
barter for souvenirs. The Germans
.ven bewildered by tUp numbers of
Americans speaking German
"Sure, my o' ' man Was born in Ger?
many," laugh;..?ly remarked one
wart private.
"That's nothing." said another; "my
mother and father were both born
there."
Only One Wish
A middle age? landsturmer ex?
claimed: "Yes, the war is finished,
thank the good Gor! My only wish is
to get back to Germany."
A slender, pink-cheeked machine gun?
ner said: "Yes, I know the Kaiser has
abdicated."
Instantly a young aristocrat ra sed
his voice. "There will be no r
tion in Germany," he cried. A new
Emperor will succeed."
An uproar immediately arose. The
speaker was drowned out by protesting
voices.
A' nigh, the Germans celebrated

A Valuable Dog Team
A GOOD team of sledge dogs is worth from $150
to $300. These teams are bred and trained by
Indians or traders who like the work and find it profit?
able. In Western Canada a dog team is usually made
up of five dogs harnessed one after the other. On the
open ice fields around Hudson's Bay more dogs are
used harnessed in fan shape. During the Winter work?
ing season the dogs are fed on frozen white fish, about
three pounds to each dog.
Indian dog owners will not feed their dogs in Sum?
mer when they are not working, but traders keep

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.?Winthrop
M. Daniels, chairman of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, predicted in
an address to-day that railroads after
the war will be operated under either
entire government management and
control, or private management, with
government supervision of financing
and elimination of competitive- wustc.
He was speaking before the annual
meeting of the -National Associa.ion of
. > and Utility ? omm?8SiO,?er.s. a
of state representatives.
Chairman Daniels expressed doubt
that the present government manage?
ment, without ownership, could be con?
tinued satisfactorily in peace tim<
With restoration of private manage?
ment, he >.aid, competitive waBte
should be eliminated by perpetuating
the railroad adminnsration's plan
for curtailing unnecessary passenger
trains.
Schedules on parallel ro ids and
hauling freight ever the sh >rtes1
routes regardless of its origin, sh ul 1
be planned; terminal equipment facili?
ties should be used in common, region?
al consolidation of parallel and com?
peting lines should be worked rut. and
government and regional tribunals
should b? authorised to pass on pro
posed railroad security issues to de?
termine tW necessity of new lines.
Mr. T\.niels aSo said a scientific sys?
tem cost analysis should be de
veloped to determine more uccuratelv

"You don't get all that is
coming to you, when you
throw away the end of a
big cigar.
"Every time you do it, you are
short-changing yourself on
vour cigar money. It's like
leaving the theatre at the end
of the second act.
uAnd you pride yourself on being a wise
buyer! You wouldn't last long as a pur?
chasing agent on that basis.
*' I know men with so much money they can't
' count it, and they smoke Piccadilly Little
Cigars?as a matter of principle.
" You can't judge the taste by the size or the price?
just big enough for a good smoke, and not so big
that you have to waste a part of it.
*' Try a box with your small change. And you will
learn something."
