As a Token of Y
They Have Won.
FOUGHT UP TO
LAST MINUTE
Americans on Western Front
Engage in Fierce Combat Just
Before Cessation of Hostil?
ities?All Celebrate.
An Associated Press Dispatch from
Paris, duted Monday morning, says:
When dawn came this morning
there was not hint of a cessation of
hostilities. East of Lbs Mouse tho
American second army attacked in
force at enght o'clock.
The onslaught waa preceded by a
tremendous barrage which was re?
turned by the enemy. For three hourj
the Americans swept forward, hurl?
ing themselves against the wire en?
tanglements.
The German gunfire was devastat?
ing. Then, at exactly one minute o>
eleven, like a final thunder crash of
the clearing of a storm, the guns on
both sides abruptly ceased.
The silence was more startling than
the deafening roar of the barrage.
For a brief minute intrcmittcnt rille
fire followed; then came a pause,
punctuated by ripping cheers from
tha trenches on both sides of the line.
What followed on one sector was
perhaps one of tho most singular
events of tho wara. Against the sky
lina figures were suddenly silhbuetteo.
They appeared cautiously at first,
but soon, growing bolder all along the
line, they stood upright. These were
Germans.
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 lire line, ln
:Btontl'- comprehending, the whole lin6
.of doughboys leaped from trenches,
fox holes and shtcll craters, splitting
the unaccustomed silence with a shrill
cheer. The roar of voices was like
an outburst at some great college con?
test in America when a contestant
scores a classic play.
Strange to relate, the defeated en?
emy joined vociferously in the cheer?
ing. The world war was finished.
At one minute before eleven it
would have meant death to show ones
fislf above shelter. Not more than a
raiute aaftetr thte hour the rolling
plain was alive with cheering, shout?
ing men, so recently deadly foes. Nor.
many miuutes latctr Germans and
Americans were coming along the
narrow stretch of ground, some shy?
ly and awkwardly, like embarassed
schoolboys. The first advances fol
loked by offers from thte Americans
of cigarettes, chocolates and chewing
gum. The Germans in some places
reciprocated with offers of hot coffee,
brend and sausage.
The order forbidding fraternizing
was strict, but the novelty of the sit?
uation at times overenme prudence,
and doughboys surreptitiously visited
nearby enemy dugouts. Along the
barbed wire at a road crossing some
doughboys nnd Germans began brisk
bartetr for souvenirs. The Germans
were bewildered by thet number of
Americans speaking German.
"Sure, my old man was born in
Germany," laughingly remarked one
stalwart private.
"That's nothing." said another, ''my
mother and father were both born
there."
A middle aged landstrumer ex?
claimed :
"Yes, the war is finished, thank the
good God. My only wish is to get
back to Germany."
A slender, pink-cheoked machine
gunner said: Yes, I know the kai?
ser ras abdicated."
Instanlty a young aristocrat raised
his voice: "There will be no revolu?
tion in Germany, a new emperor wilt
succeed."
An uproar immediately arose. The
speaker was drowned out by protest?
ing voices. Then the Germans began
offering the Americans such news and
gossip as they knew. The approach
of an officer broke up thte conversa?
tions.
Tonight the Germans are celebrat?
ing peace along the lines by firing
flares, rockets and signal lights. The
night is uproarious' with their cheer?
ing. The victorious Americans nre
taking it more calmly.
Along the front tho majority of
them are getting a good night's rest.
Behind the lines towns nre brilliant?
ly lighted for the first time in four
years. French and Americans are
parading the streets arm in arm.
singing the Marseillaise, the Star
Spangled Banner and French and
American war songs.

ARMISTICE.

vaded countries, including Alsace

ARE YOU PROUD OF THE FIGHT?
Are you proud of the fight you
made for winning the war? You
should be. Did you do your best? If
you aid you should be proud of it.
You have won. and a great victory it
was.
But, listen: Probably you may feel
now that you should have bought
more bonds and stamps?didn't do
just quite enough to ease your con?
science. You hnve another chance to
prove up and show your patriotism.
The War Work fund gives you this
opportunity?"another chnnce." Got

to look the boys "square in the eyo"

WHEN WILL THE UOYS COME
BACK HOME?
The question, "When will the boys
come home?" is on everybody's lipe
now. Particularly relatives of boys
in France arc anxious to know when
they will return to their homes. At
this writing these questions cannot
bo definitely answered. There arc
more than two million American sol?
diers in France, and perhaps it will
be necessary to hold at least half
this number there until everything
gets quiet. It is said that the sol?
diers who have been in France the
longest, naturally, will be the first
returned.
The soldiers in camps here will be
demobilized not all at once. These
men, as well as many others in France
were mustered in for the duration of
the war. When peace was declared
their terms of service ended, but what
will be done has not been fixed. The
war authorities are working out the
plans now for the disbanding of the
army.
A NEW METHODIST BABY.
A brand new baby was born
early last Sunda" morning) in the
home of Rev. Wolfe, the presiding
elder. This is the first bnby, so far
as the editor of the Register De?
partment of this paper recalls, born
in this parsonage home. But, read
a little further: This was not Mr.
and Mrs. Wolfe's baby, but the heir
to the throne of the House of Kclso,
where Mrs. Kclso chanced to be on
a visit at the time. And now you
know why this preacher failed to ap?
pear at his usual haunts this week,
and why his face was so weathered
in smiles Monday morning at the
Methodist church.
CHURCH NOTICE.

preach at Central church and 3 p.

the Tazcwcll County Red Cross, was
called out, nnd made one of his char?
acteristic speeches. Upon taking the
rostrum he oircred any man in the
audience his cane who felt the need
of it. He snid he felt so good and
so young that he did not think he had
another need of his cane. The good
news had filled him too full for ut?

war speeches for a year, now I am
glad to make peace spoecnes, he said,
and he did to his credit and to the
delight of the large crowd which
packed the church nnd the aisles.
Concluding his address, which was
