When the messenger reached the German outposts. it is related, the troops were so demoralized that they fired on his white flag. Promiscuous volley firing continued and the meissary was unable to reach his destination until the next day.

A plane was equipped and ready for the flight when word was received that the messenger had reached Berlin. , Ca*»e for Signing Am»i»*lce. Captain Recoulay declares the armistice was signed because Foch and his staff were convinced Germany was already Ip the throes of a revolution. The armistice envoys painted a “black picture” of conditions. While the German government was analysing the terms the plenipotentiaries remained near Foch in the forest at Rethonde. They were permitted to leave their train and, guarded by armed soldiers, exercise In the open air. On the afternoon of the 1 fit It Foch informed Erzberger. the head of the delegation, that hostilities would be resumed at 11 a. m. the next day. At 7 o'clock on the night of November Ifi the following radio message was intercepted by the French; "German government to German plenipotentiaries: The plenipotentiaries are authorized to sign the armistice. (Signedi The Chancellor of the Empire.” Three ciphered figures at the end of the message proved its authenticity. Mere than twelve hours of deliberation and debate over the "harsh’* terms followed.

Pay the Price [f a Tire Can , Out run Millers
There are some tires sold at an extra price which claim to give extra mileage.
If they do that, buy them.
Extra service is worth an extra cost. And a maker who skimps tp cut a price does not deserve your patronage. But prove the facts. Put the extraprice tire opposite the Miller and let
the odometer decide.
Every maker has some freak tires: And the great records are made by oversize tires run under rare conditions. But require th^t Miller outrun any tire on the opposite rear wheel.
Cords vs* fabrics Cord Tires outlast Fabrics and are worth the extra cost. More and more, as men prove this, they are coming to the Cords. But the best Cord or best Fabric should be proved out by a like test Then patronize the maker who serves best What to require Don’t judge tires by the mileage which some user got
The Stage-Line Tire On California stage Haas Millar Tire* have won amazing records. Some lines ran 12 passenger buses, weighing 8,600 ponmls loaded, and die daily run exceed* 150 miles. As high as 21 rival tires have been compered against Millers. And no tire made can match them in these ex-
treme service tests.
Or, if you test four Millers, require uniform mileage. Require that treads outlast the balance of the tire.
Miller Tires will win you if you judge them in that way. And you owe it to yourself. la?: H >■ A# ‘vJ .. 'M
All maximum tire* Every Miller, Cord or Fabric, is the maximum tire of that type. • / We know that. Night and day, year after year, we compare the Miller with other leading makes. We wear out 1.000 tires a year in making these comparisons. Miller treads outwear rival treads by an average of 25 per cent. We also prove that by these tests. Miller Tires are uniform. Every fire ' is signed by the maker and the inspector. And both are penalized if a tire vcomes back. There are many Miller dealers with large sales who have never had a Miller Tire returned. What mileage? Tire mileage has been vastly * creased in late years. In our factory tests we average 15.000 miles on Miller Cords. And those are rear-wheel tests made under extreme conditions. Many Miller users report from 20,000 to 25,000 miles. And many, we know, get but 10,000 miles. So much depends on size, load, road and care. But compare the mileage. See which tire gives greatest service under like conditions, then adopt that tire. That’s what targe tire users do. And Millers are used exclusively today by countless users who have made such tests. •When you buy a new car insist on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers now supply them and there is no extra charge.
