A PROCLAMATION. By direction of the National War Council and special request of President Wilson the United War Work campaign will open November 11. This campaign is in behalf of the seven agencies doing welfare work aiid- comprises the following: Young Men's Christian Associa tion, Young Women's Christian Association, National Catholic (War Council, Jewish. Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association essential and vital to the comfort of our soldiers, nurses and other war workers, and each conducive to the morale of our army. The need of these combined agencies is greater than any amount previously asked. North Dakota's "quota is $675,000. While this may seem like a large sum it is certainly the best way to care for the wants of these great organizations, for it saves the expense of a separate camT paign for each. We have contributed freely to these agencies separately. $ow tet us do equally well when dealing with them, collectively. Let us express our appreciation of the splendid work of our boys Dy responding gener ously to this cause that brings to them the comforts of home and*the knowledge that we have them and their welfare ever foremost in our thoughts.

The capital city has been districted by wards, and a captain, with five teams of two men each, has been as signed to each ward. A minimum al lotment has tentatively been assigned each producing citizen. The amounts are so small that it is not expected that anyone will wish to subscribe less.'than the amount assigned. There will be no objection to over-subscrip tions, but it is not desired to greatly exceed Bismarck's quota, which is |1J,000, or equivalent to Mess than $2 for each man, woman aad child in the capital. Subscribers will be asked, wherever possible, to pay 'by cash or check with the subscription.

THE HAYAS AGENCY WHICH TRANSMITS THE ANNOUNCE MENT OF EMPEROR WILHELM'S ABDICATION FROM BASEL IS THE SEMI-OFFICIAL FRENCH NEWS AGENCY. London, British Wireless Service, Nov. 9.—A German wireless receiv ed in London this afternoon states: The German imperial chancellor Prince Maximilian of Baden has issued the following decree: "The kaiser and king has decided to renounce the throne. "The imperial chancellor will remain in office until the questions con nected with the abdication of the kaiser the renouncing by the crown prince of the throne of the empire and the kingdom of Prussia, and the setting up of a regency has been settled. "For regent he intends to appoint Deputy Ebert as imperial chancel lor, and he proposes that a bill shall be brought in for the establishment of universal suffrage and for the establishment of a constitutional German national assembly which will settle finally the future form of government of the German people and of those peoples which might be desirous of coming within the empire." Paris, Nov. 9.—GermanyVarmistice delegates were received by Marshal Foch yesterday in a railway car in which the commander and chief has his headquarters. When the delegates' Credentials were re ceived an4 approved, the leader of the enemy delegation announced that the German government has been advised by President Wilson that Marshal Foch was authorized to communicate to them the allies' condi tions. Marshal Foch then gave the terms in a loud voice, dwelling on each word. The Germans were prepared by advance information for the tenor of the terms as a whole, but hearing them word by word seem ed to bring to them for the first time the completeness of the German defeat. Erzberger then asked for a cessation of hostilities in the interests of humanity. This request Marshal Foch flatly refused. The delegates, hav ing requested permission to send a delegate to Spain to communicate with that place by wire, then withdrew. The German delegates are lodged in a country house, six miles east of Compeigne and 30 miles from Marshal Foch's headquarters. With Foch at the time of the interview were Major General Ma*x Weigand, his assistant Vice Admiral Sir Roslyn Wemyss, first lord of the British admiralty, and Vice Admiral William L. Sims, American representative. REICHSTAG TO ACT. It is regarded probable in well informed circles that Prince Maxi milian will today communicate the terms of the armistice to a committee of reichstag leaders and will himself convey their vote to authorize the plenipotentiaries to sign the armistice. Vice Admiral Sims was present in person at the conference on ar mistice terms yesterday. MAY GET REPLY BY NOON. It is probable that Germany's reply to the armistice terms will be re turned to Marshal Foch's headquarters by the same courier who carried the armistice terms to Berlin, in which case no answer can be received before mid-afternoon. It is possible, however, that Germany may use the wireless, in which case a reply may be received by noon. DISCUSSED AT HEADQUARTERS. Washington, Nov. 9.—Armistice terms are being discussed at Ger grand headquarters. Included among those attending the conference of the German military leaders was the kaiser. By many here the meet ing is regarded as the last, at which the kaiser will appear as the official war lord. Official Washington awaits developments with confidence and calm.
