Distress of War
Torn Nation.
By Asoociated Press.
Guns everywhere are mute.
Hostilities have, given way to pre
partitions of the defeated enemy to
evacuate all invaded terirtory in ac
lonlance with the' terms of armis
tice and the entente forces to take
up strategic positions assigned them.
The cry comes from Germany for
early peace.
starvation faces the war-torn em
pire. Tho nl'ioC will Tint TlPPTtllf tha fittf-
mans to perish for wrant of food,
however.
In Germany the new government
regime apparently has sway. Inter
nal strife is seemingly ended except
for the mutiny by sailors.
Amendments to the armistice terms
show the allies were more exacting
in their demands than was first re
ported. Instead of 50,000 railroad cars,
170.000 are to be surrendered.
Defeated on the battlefield, deserted
by their emperor and subjected to
terms tantamount to unconditional
surrender, the German people have
made an appeal to President "Wilson.
Conditions described as "fearful"
anl Dr. W. S. Solf, the foreign sec
rrtary, says in his appeal that millions
face starvation if the allies do not
take steps to overcome the danger.
Holland - is- said - to be - prepairng to
intern William Hohenzollern and his
son, the former crown prince, as
well as other military officers who
sought refuge with them by crossing
the Dutch frontier. This action may
prevent the former emperor from re
turning to Germany, should events
take a sudden turn, and following
the example of Xapoleon in 1815.
Allied warships have entered the
Dardanelles and British naval forces
have occupied Alexandretta.
Field Marshal von Hindenburg,
who was reported to have fled to
Holland with his royal master, has
joined the revolutionary forces. He
had asked the soldirs' and workmen's
council to send delegates at Once to
main headquattrrs.
Kverywhere in Germany the
momentum of the revolution which
swept the old regime out of power
seems to be increasing. The great
Rhenish Westphalian industrial region
is in the hands of the reds, while
Potsdam and Doeberitzhave surren
dered to the forces which have taken
over control of Berlin.

converted to make the commodities of

must be assimilated in peace produc

plans adopted by the city commission
ers at their meeting yesterday. A com
mittee of 50 men and women are to be
named at once to complete plans for
the celebration which is to be a part
of ; similar celebrations to be held in
every city in the country. Mayor
Sanders is expected to issue a proc
lamation shortly which will declare
the day a holiday. ,
The suggestion that such a holiday
be held came from New York City,
where a committee for the celebration
of Britain Day has been organized and
headed by Judge Alton B. Parker. The
purpose of the celebration as set forth
in the invitation is to observe De
cember 7 as a celebration out of re
spect to ; Great Britain for her ser
vices as an ally of the United States
in the war.
That . American commerce was pro
tected ' for two full years before the
United States entered; the war by the
British "Grand Fleet: is set forth in
the invitation'- to observe the date.
This and many other services ren
dered by . the forces of King Edward's
domains during the war' are recited
as reasons for the observance. In
addition to the celebration of Decem
ber '7 .as a' holiday, it has been sug
gested; that Mayor Sanders invite, the
churches to participate in the observ
ance by special services December 8.

peditiously as possible the classifica

ber 12, 1918, had attained their nine
teenth birthday and had not attained
their thirty-seventh birthday. You will

and to provide with and complete as
early as 'possible for classification of

"'In entering pursuant to the fore
going instructions upon what seems,
in view of the mighty events of the
day, to be the final work of this char
acter to be done by the selective serv
ice system, I extendLto the members of
that system my personal congratula
tions upon their truly great achieve
ments of the past year and a half,
achievements that have taxed to the ut
most, the time, the ability and the
endurance of all those engaged in the
work, and -that have furnished to the
army to which in a large measure mu.-'t
be given the credit for saving the
world both civilization and government
by the people.
" 'To you, members of that system,
must come a sense of duty well
done which only a loyalty, patriotism
and devotion such .as yirs can bring.
The country and 'the world knows that
it owes you a debt of thanks and gra
titude which cannot be measured by
words, but only by the affection, the
respect and the esteem, now yours, of
those among whom you live and from
you have taken that which was be
yond price.
" 'In undertaking the completion of
your work under the orders above giv
en, I bespeak of you the same Interest
and tireless energy which has charac
terized your work in the past. Signed,

Washington, Nov.. 12. Draft board
were ordered today to stop classifying
men under 19 or over 36 years,- and t3
withhold . questionnaries for such "reg
istrants not already sent out.
It was said officially at the provost
marshal - general's office that regis
trants of 18 and from 37 to 46 years
old who have received questionaries
need not fill them out.
Formal orders or announcements
will be issued soon covering all such

Cancellations of . all - draft ,, calls and
Inductions yesterday practically has
nullified the famous work-or-fight or

to essential industry, on pain of im
mediate induction. Though local boards
have been ordered to continue classi
fying after physical examination men
between 19 and 36. the work-or-fight
order falls -by reason of the fact that
the only., penalty attached was that
of, being placed in class 1. With calls
stopped, the government hs no power
to renalize the non-essential employ-1
