Foch’s terms [were unconditional surrender, imtnediate withdrawal from French and Belgian soil; surrender of thousands lof guns, airplanes and tons of war material and the German fleet. The J Germans succeeded In retaining 5,000 machine guns, which they said were needed in case of mutiny or bolshevism, which then threatened the German forces. The rest is well known to the world.

They arrived early, being escorted as usual through the French lines wearing the white banner of parliamentary usage. At 5:15 a. m., when the sky was still dark, In the . glare of electric lamps, the Act of I Armistice was signed in hold letters. More mysterious telegrams shot back and forth along the front, ami buglars throughout the long miles of dark trenches sounded the call to "Cease Fire.” it does not take a vivid imagination to picture the state of troops, those going to the front and those being relieved, when the cease fire order arrived for 11 a. in., and the hist salvo roared through the valleys of death. Foch was already in a speedy motor racing for the war ministry, where Jhe deposited the Act of Armistice I with Clemenceau, saying to the grizi zled and still unsatisfied old veteran, I “Monsieur le President, my work is .finished; your work begins.” * HOSPITAL NOTES *■ Miss Justine Zerkel, Deeatur route 8, underwent a major operation at the 1 Adams County Memorial hospital this morning.

LONDON HONORS : ARMISTICE WITH PEACE TO FORE Government Orders Less Military Observance At Cenotaph London, Nov. 11 —(U.R)—A sudden hush, a silencing of the roar of traffic. broken only by the resonant tone of the “Big Ben” clock, in the Houses of Parliament, signalled the com-1 mencement of London's observance of Armistice Day. Men. women and children paused in whatever they were doing, and. for two minutes, remembered. prayed or merely wondered. Peace was the keynote of today's ceremones in all parts of the country With its mind on what it has achieved for peace at The Hague. Geneva and in Premeier Ramsay MacDonald's visit to Washington, the government has ordered that the ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall shall be of a more civilian character. No more will the scarlet tunics of the guards, the contrasting blues of the navy and air force, and the glittering accoutrements of other regiments lend color to the imposing scene. Today that street where beats the heart of the empre was a drab mass of every-day suits, which the i white surplices of the clergy and | khaki uniforms of the representative I detachments served by contrast to make even more somber. Placing of Wreaths The arrangements generally follow the lines adopted in previous years, i except the number of troops on dutyhave been substantially reduced. This was followed out at the local ceno- ' taphs throughout the British Isles. Shortly before 11 o’clock wheaths ■ were deposited on the Cenotaph “by ■ or on behalf of”—as the official announcement says—of King George. i This did not mean that the King • would attend the ceremonies for the Prince of Wales represented him, but | was to cover every eventuality. It is recalled that it was at the . Cenotaph ceremonies last year that ■ the King first contracted a cold while ■ j standing bareheaded in the rain I which led to his lengthy illness. Wreaths were also placed on the monument on behalf of other mem- > | hers of the royal family, the govern-

ment, the dominions and colonies, und the services. At 11 a.m. the two minutes silence was observed, its start and finish being signalled by a gun. In other parts of the country maroons, similar to those used ns warnings of air-raids during the war. were let off. Ceremonies at Cenotaph At the cenotaph, the silence was followed by a short service conducted by the Bishop of ondon, which was broadcast. Then began the long trek past the Cenotaph of official delegations bearing wreaths and members of the public who wished to salute the symbol. The "queue” continued on to Westminster Abbey to pay homage at the tomb of the unknown wnr- | rior. A special service was held here I also. This evening there will be a “festival of empire and rememberance" at the Albert Hall, including community singing led by the massed bands of the guards and tableaux of all the units which took part tn the great war. Similar ceremonies were enacted this morning at local cenotaphs throughout Britain, and the observance will be kept up all day with church services, religious concerts, and similar functions. COURT HOUSE The case of Farmers Trust Co. vs. L. L. Okey. et al, suit on note was venued to the Adams circuit court court from Allen Superor court. Andrew Miller has brought suit on note and foreclosure against John M. Parrish et al in Adams circuit court. Th? complaint was filed and the summons issued, ordered -returnable December 28, 1929.

If you have a pale face, sallow took, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, take one of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleasing results. Thousands of women and men take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets— now and i then to keep fit. lac, 3Cc and 60c.
