FEELING ABROAD DECIDED WILSON TO MAKE TRIP Baltimore Editor Says Allied Politicians Smart Under Fact That American Holds ... Big Cards. BALTIMORE. Nov. 30. The Sun, one of the leading administration papers in the east, and a recognized Democratic organ, publishes an article by Frank R. Kent, its managing editor, who has Just returned form Europe. In it he attempts to tell a story or the international complications abroad that would not be permitted to come by cable, and to tell of some of the difficulties that confront the approaching peace conference. The writer also presents a hitherto unheard of reason for President Wilson's proposed trip to France. He says the call to the president came from Americans in Paris several weeks ago. He says he knows of two cables sent to the president, laying certain facts before him. Continuing he says: "The thuth is, and everybody in Paris knows it. that in governmental and political circles they do not love us at all over there, neither the English nor the French. Between individuals of different nations and races warm and sincere friendships are possible, and there are plenty of English men and Americans between whom there are the strongest friendships. But there is something about race3 and nations as a whole that makes the kind of friendship that exists between individuals impossible. Paris these days most beautifully illustrates this. . . America Has Held Big Cards. The French and English politicians smart under the obvious fact that, since America set into this war game, America has held all the big cards. Wilson has done all the dealing and they have been following his lead. "Now the great danger has passed, the European statesmen chafe under this situation, and some of those who have been big figures during the war, Fee themselves sinking into political obscurity unless as an outcome of the peace conference, they can say, 'We got this for France,' or 'We got this for England,' or 'We got this for Italy.' "The strength of our position'is that neither Wilson nor House, nor Bliss nor Pershing, nor any other American desires to say, 'We got this for America.' America wants nothing for herself That coupled with the fact that England owes us $5,000,000,000 and France owes us nearly $3,000,000,000, and that we still hold the purse strings for both nations, makes it likely that we will continue to deal the cards, notwithstanding resentment in certain quarters." America's Entrance Saved Day. The writer also tells of differences said to have arisen between Pershing and the British and French high commands early in the spring of 1917, when he told Foch and Haig that the 'American army was at their disposal to do what they wished, but that it would have to be used as an army and that there would be no more splitting up of it. The writer says the French were furious at the outspoken American manner in which Pershing gave this ultimatum. The writer then emphasizes the fact that the entry of America into the war saved the day. although he says this does not detract from the heroic fighting of the British and French in the three previous years and does not impair recognition of the fact that the British fleet saved the. world. county Schools to

REOPEN ON MONDAY The county schools will have no Christmas vacation this year as there have been so many interruptions. Christmas and New Year's day will be given. The influenza ban will be lifted on all the county schools except those in Boston township. Flower Production Cut to Sixty-five Percent Flower production will be cut to about sixty-five percent of what It was in Richmond greenhouses last year, according to a Richmond florist. Flower prices are increasing accordingly, he said. The decrease in production is partially caused by the fact that greenhouses were cut to half their usual allowance of coal during the war. Several adjoining towns have reported that only fifty percent of the usual flower production has been possible during the war, and at Newcastle several florists were compelled to close down. An increase in the demand for flowers has been reported. There are more society events since the war closed, and the death rate, resulting from the influenza epidemic, has also caused an increase in flower sales for funerals. Garfield Lunch Room Will Open Tuesday The lunch room at Garfield school will open for the first time this semester on n?xt Tuesday noon. As many pupils as wish to buy their lunches there will be provided for, as in form er years. Principal N. c. Heironimus said Saturday.

Soldiers Watch With Reverent Silence as Wars End Near s

"We ceased fire at 11 o'clock this morning. Today is the most momentous, day -in the War. Sort of a dramatic time. We watched the minutes 10:40, 10:50, 10:55, 10:59 then an almost reverent silence over the whole land of war," writes Kenneth To.ler in a letter from the war zone, on Nov. 11. "Up to that time we had been firing to the limit. Just for luck I shot a few shells myself," he said. "We had just started on a most stupendous drive on the last stronghold of the enemy, and had he refused to sign, we would have finished him in a military operation never before excelled In the history of the world. "I would not even try to attempt to tell you of the guns, material, men in thousands yes, hundreds of thousands that have made this drive a success. "I have been here for five months hearing the jar and concussion of the guns, and then tonight to have all this quiet is almost overaweing. To think that I have been an onlooker in the world's largest war almost gives me a feeling of importance. "Must close: it is bed time. I'm tired. It's been our "Big Day." ' . . j i : a. . . La in a leiier wruien just iwu uajo ucfore, Toler said: "I am in a vastly different place than I was when I wrote last. Have traveled through France again, and am now at the front for business. You know that about all one does in the army is move. We get all fixed up; our dugouts all finished; then some night they get us out and move us. The other night we moved three times and expect we would have been moving yet if it hadn't become daylight All work and moving is done at night the reason being the enemy, of course." I do not know what it would be to see automobile, and street lights lit once more. All the ammunition, supply trains, supply train ambulances, etc.. in fact, all hauling goes on at night. At first I used to fall Into every shell hole or mix . up with the wire entanglements; there is an endless lot of these; but in moving about now I can go like a cat and miss them all. Tells of Forest Fight. "In one of the advances, we took a forest, and in this forest the German officers had their camp. They had a regular village streets, lights, gardens, bathing pool ahd bowling alleys. This place was taken by surprise, so they didn't have time to burn it as they generally do; We found all sorts of material, and you can imagine what a bunch of fellows would do with a place like this. We took everything needed to fit out our dugouts. In mine I had a German stove, German gunpowder (we use this to start our bonfires), German candles, German overcoats and raincoats. We took stuff out of the gardens to make us soup. At present we are quartered in an old enemy wireless station near a chateau that I am sure you have seen mentioned in the papers, at home. After one has traveled through the battle zone they can realize the indescribable damage done, and aside from shell fire most of it has been done deliberately such as burning old chateaux, churches, and mining villages. You spoke of seeing war relics. I do not think I care to see any more. Have seen everything from a Leuger 137,620 Women Took Civil Service Exams (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. Due to the war, the number of women applying for government positions under the civil service regulations during the year ending last June 30 increased greatly. The annual report of the civil service commission made public today shows that in the last fiscal year civil service examinations were taken by 137,620 women as compared with 25,457 in the previous year. This the report points out is an increase of 41 per cent, in then umber of women applicants whereas the number of men increased only 122 per cent. Civil service empolyes increased 150 per cent, during the year and applicants for positions under the civil service Increased 161 per cent. Center ville, Ind.

(a German pistol) to a 14-lnch howitzer and equipment in endless variety. The interesting part at night is the flash of the, big guns, different colored signal rockets, bombs bursting in the air, searchlights traveling back and forth across the sky. All this Is liKe a big Fourth of July celebration except when the shells light too close we forget all about the beauty of the "scene, and run for a safe hole. I'll admit that I've made several record runs, and to date have dodged them all. On clear days with the aid of our glasses we can see the Germans from our present location. We heard last night of Germany's efforts for peace. Then about 3 a. m. we were shelled more than we had been at all in this position."

GREENVILLE GRAVEL COMPANY MAKES RAPID GROWTH Growing from a small sand hill to five corporations with a capital stock of nearly $1,500,000 is the history of the Greenville Gravel Company, of Greenville, O., one of whose companies is located near Richmond. In 1900 two men, W. O. Patty and Fred Coppock started the , business by leasing a gravel pit west of Greenville and loading the gravel into cars with wheelbarrows. In this manner the output would not exceed five cars a day. Within three years improvements were made and more land bought. A company was formed and they were loading fifty cars a day. Today there are five companies and ten large plants resulting from the wheelbarrow plant of eighteen years ago with practically no investment. CHURCH NOTICE Second English Lutheran Northwest Third and Pearl streets. C. Raymond Isley, pastor. For Sunday, December the first, we suggest that our people again in their homes study the Sunday school lesson, "Joseph Sold by His Brothers," Gen. 37:1-28, showing the evil results of pealousy and hatred. For this First Sunday in Advent read the1 gospel lesson, Matt. 21:1-9, which teaches that glory and blessing are to attend the coming of the Son of God into the world. Read Psalm 121, revealing the Christian's confidence in the Lord as the true source of help. Our week-day prayer service and Sunday services will be resumed as soon as the ban is lifted. St. Paul's Lutheran 401 South Seventh street. Rev. F. W. Rohlflng, D. D., pastor. Telephone, 1321. The members of this church will please read the Sunday school lesson, Gen. 37: 1-2S, and the epistle, Romans 13: 11-14. and Gospel, Matt. 21: 1-9, for the first Sunday in advent. Appropriate hymns are 122, "Jesus Lover of My Sou," and 210, "Say to the World, the Lord Has Come." As an evening lesson, the twenty-fourth psalm may be read. Suitable hymns are 161, "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," and 179, "Come Thou Almighty King." "Hosanna to the son of David; Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." Trinity English Lutheran There will be no services at Trinity English Lutheran church Sunday in accordance with the ban on public meetings. The members are urgently requested to sudy the Sunday school lesson, Genesis 37, 18-38. The subject of the lesson, "Joseph sold by his brethren," lends itself to a many sided application at the present time. Also read and meditate upon the gospel lesson for the day, the first Sunday in Advent, Matth. 21, 1-9. We are unable to start in the new church year by going to Sunday school and church, but we can start it anew by letting the Christ have a larger place in our hearts and lives. Let us say and sing "Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" Hymns 16 and 23 are suggested for the service around the family altar. We have more members sick than any time during the epidemic. Pray for your brethren and for all men that God may stay this terrible plague. WICKETT FUNERAL SUNDAY Funeral services for William F. Wickett will be held from the home, 1002 Boyer street, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Friends may call Saturday afternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock and from 7 to 9 o'clock Saturday evening. Burial will be at Earlham. Rev. Andrew F. Mitchell will officiate.
