Lyle and an assistant to board the train at Lexington, examine the peo- ple aboard and wire him. Ambu- lances were at the train to receive the patients in response to a message from Dr. Lyle. ‘When the train reached Lexington several persons who were sick at- tempted to escape, but were caught by the police and forced back onto the train. They were taken to the Branch hospital on their arrival here. All the other passengers were al- lowed to go to their destinations, but the names and addresses of all were taken and they can be reached by the authorities if needed.

Ransdale of Lake Providence, La., was on the train and he and his family rendered every assistance to the stranded crowd of fifty.

Some of these are among the penniless ones. EBALL SCORES, Nationai League. At Boston, 2; Philadelphia, 5. At Brooklyn, 2; New York, 10. American League. At New York, 7; Washington, 6.

After nime consecutive hours of ne- gotiations the armistice was signed at 7 p. m. It takes effect at once, agrees to the abolition of all hostile or inim- ical acts, establishes a neutral zone of four kilometers wide between the two armies, of which Shahotzu, on the railway, is the center. Maps show- ing the zone are to be exchanged. Only civilians will be allowed within the territory and communication be- tween the two armies is to be only by the Shahotzu road. Special naval envoys are to meet near Vladivostok with one ship for each nation to confer and establish an armistice and a neutral zone at sea.

McCarty, a small boat of fifteen tons, was struck twice by shots from the Canadian cruiser Vigilant in the efforts of the Canadians to compel the tug té stop and surrender. Captain Frank Handy, the engineer and four men were on the tug, but they were determined to escape and made the run home in their damaged | boat. The tug was struck once near the water line, but the hull was only dented. The second shot knocked over “the iron man,” a piece of ma- chinery used in hauling in nets. The men were not hurt. ~ Captain Handy said he was in Amer- fcan waters when the shots were fired, but many of the fishermen admit that they go over on the Canadian side regularly to fish at this season of the year.
