IN FRANCE. Monday, Nov. 11.—Orders
announcing that the armistice between tha
allied powers an«l Germany had been sign-
ed and giving directions as to the futur*
conduct of allied soldiers along the line
were sent to every corps this inorninir.
Taey were transmitted to the units in thy
front ranks. The orders follow:
"1. You are intormed that hostilities win
ce;jse along the whole front at 11 o'clock
a. m., November 11. 1018, Paris time.
"2. No allied troops will pass the lino
reached by them at that hour and date
until further orders.
. Division commanders will Immedi
ffctely sketch the location of their front
•line. This sketch will be returned t »
•li^adnuarters by the courier bearing these
Iprders.
j: "4. All communication with the enemy
inoth before aud after the termination of
retilittes, is absolutely forbidden. In
■i .<■■<> of violation of this order, severest d:<-
plinary measures will be immediately
iKen. Any officer offending will be sent
headquarters under guard.
~ Every emphasis will be laid on the
ct that the arrangement is an armistice
>nly. and not a peace.
i; "0. There must not be the slightest r">-
Jjhxrttlon of vigilance. Troops must be
prepared at any moment for further
operation*.
"7. Special steps will be taken by all
. in mu r ders to insure strictest discipline
and tljat nil troops be held in readiness
i'hlly prepared lor any eventuality.
' s. Division and brigade com'.minder s
v ill personally <■nnn^unicate tl*u oi'der.s to
a'l organizations."
Signal Co|*ps wires, telephones and run-
ners were used in carrying the orders,
and so well did tin* big machine work that
even patrol commanders had received the
orders well in .n'vnnce of Hie hour. .Vf»
unrently the Germans also li;ul been equal-
ly diligent In .getting the orders to tho
front line. Notwithstanding the hard
fighting they did Sunday t > hold back the
Americans, the Germans we're able to bring
the firing to an abrupt end at the
scheduled hour.
The staff and field officers of the Amer
lean army were disposed early In tlie day
to approach the hour of 11 with lessened
nctivitv. The dav began with less firing
and doubtless tin lighting would have end
e l according to plan had there not been
•i diarp resumption on the part of the
German batteries. The Americans looked
upon this as wantonly useless. It was
tnen that orders were sent to the battery
< ominanders for increased fire.
Although there was no reason for it.
German ruthh'ssness was still rampant.
Mindav. stirring the American artillery In
the region of Don-sur-Meause and Mouxay
v hen the Germans attacked it wits gas.
T'iere was only a small detachment of
American troops there and the town no
l.-nger was <>f stiategicnl vnliM*. However,
it was made the direct target of shells
filled with phosgene. The enemy burled
them into the town until every street
reeked with gas.
Not content0 ! with thi.. the Germans
again drenched the place with gas last
nliht, even while they were evacuating
Stenay. a few miles to the north. Prompt
work bv the Americans saved most of
the civilians from serious consequences.
Poorlv clad and showing plainly evl- !
denees "of malnutrition, the inhabitants
crowded about the Americans, kissing their 1
hands and hailing them as deliverers.

of peace, the fortress city was illuminated
and a military procession headed by the

A large American flag was carried by
the men of the New England division, while
the French buglers bore the tricolor of
France. The procession wound its way
through the streets, lighted by flares and
vari colored signal lights .set. off by iufan-

blaze of glory, and the Illumination was

COPKNHAGJ5N, Monday. Nor. 11.—Ger-
many's new provisional government will
lie ail red, that is to say, the Hourireolsie
party will not he represented in it. Thin
will not ho because of their unwilling-
ness to participate, but. because the So-
cialists aft it a conference with the repre-
sentatives of the former majority party
in the Reichstag definitely refused to
permit the Bourgeoisie to enter the new
government.
The plan is to givo the independent So-
cialists tiio vice chancellorship and two
other secretarial posts. There arc ?ndi
cations, however, that independents will
; (teniami more, but their demands have not
yet taken definite form. It is significant
1 that the majority of the multitude nf
proclamations issued an* addressed to
'•comrades' rather than to "citizens," and
that references are no longer made to
"tiie People's Republic," but to "the So-
<lallst Republic."

their perilous journey through the
French front to General Koch's head-
quarters what would be the answer of
Germany to the allied armistice terms

hours, actual prisoners of France,

So far no violation of the armistice has

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Nov. 12—There
will be no relaxing of efforts to keep down
i prices and profiteering on the part of the
i i'nited States Food Administration
ihrough the armistice and until legal peace
! is declared, Herbert C. Hoover declared to-
! day.
Mr. Hoover reviewed tlie food pricasitna-
. fion and admitted that wc are in a period
"f inflation aud cannot avoid the results,
although the Administration's efforts to
curb prices within reasonable bounds have
resulted in many penalties and refunding
of millions of dollars by those penalized.
Looking into the future, Mr. Hoover said
it is difficult to anticipate the immediate
effect of the new conditions upon prices.
"The maintenance of the embargo will
prevent depletion of our stocks by hungry
Europe," he said, "to any point below our
necessities, and anyone who contemplates
speculation In food against the needs of
these people can well be warned of the
prompt action of the Government.
"The prices of gome food commodities
may increase," ho continued, "but others
will decrease, because with liberated ship-
ping accumulated stocks In the Southern
hemisphere and the Far East will be avail-
able.- The demands upon the I'nited States
will change in character, but not in
volume"
I Pointing out recent price increases. Mr
j Hoover showed that the retail cost of the
same quantity of the twenty-four princi
: pal foodstuffs In October was 18 per cent
1 higher than In the spring of this year
' Prices have only kept pace with farmers'
I prices, he said, but farmers' cost also has
been higher.
The increase, lie said, could not be at-
tributed to profiteering. They are the re-
sult of economic conditions.
"We cannot IfWye our cake and eat It,"
he explained. "In other words, we cannot
raise wages, railway rates, expand aar
credits and currency and hope to main-
tain the same level of prices of foods."
To force down prices In the face of
such conditions, he said, would result only
in curtailed production.
