An inquiry by telephone reached The Pioneer Saturday evening, ask- ing why the McGhee-Stewart vote in Saturday’s issue was omitted. This was unintentional as T'he Pioneer is very much interested “in this race. According to the precincts at hand’ in the Pioneer office Mr. McGhee’s vote showed a gain over Stewart’s. The vote for last week showed McGhee 1,647, Stewart 1,479. The voté now stands 1,661 for the newly elected superintendent, Mr. McGhee, and 1,488 for Stewart. There are still eight precincts to hear from and if Stewart secured practlcally every vote he could not overcome the lead Mr. McGhee now | has., Indications are that McGhee's lead will steadily increase. 1,366; 1,682; Diatriet — Bemidji News . 0f Armistice The Pioneer made good.

The central office of the telephune’ company was notified and the night operator called subscribars, routed them out of bed and spread the news. Soon thereafter, . the streets com- menced to fill with people and others of the city populace were aroused. The Pioneer bulletined its dis- patch and crowds quickly gathered while the city took on a scene of ani- mation, growing hourly as bells clanged and whistles voiced tthe vie- GUILD MEETS ?ONIGHT The E opal Alter Guild will meet this evening at thée home of Mr. L.

(United Press Correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 11.—At 6 o’clock this war in the history came to an end. The state department officially announced early today that the German plenipotentiaries signed the United States-Alliéd armistice terms at Marshal Foch’s headquarters at 5 o’clock this morning, French time, and hostilities ceased at 11 o’clock this morning, French time. While the armistice merely halts the war and does not end it, the terms laid down by Marshal Foch are such as to prevent Germany from renewing hostilities. The war, therefore, may be regarded as| definitely ended. There remains now the great problem of| peace conference and gigantic work of returning fighters to their home lands. Geneva and Brus-| sels are considered as most likely places for| peace negotiations and so far the general staff has already completed its plans for a general| demobilization. ‘ The nation celebrated wildly today. Fac-} tories and stores everywhere are closed and thou-| {and bells rang out their gladsome | tidings Huns Gonfess Defeat: Veiled - Threat Made London, Nov. 1l.—Just Dbefore Prince Maximilian of Germany Baden offered his resignation as im- perial chancellor he issued an appeal “to Germans abroad” in which he said: “In these difficult days the hearts of many among you, my fellow coun- trymen, who outside the frontier of the German fatherland are surround- ed by manifestations of malicious joy and hatred, will be heavy. Do not dispair of the German people. “Our soldiers have fought to the last moment as heroically as any army has ever done. The homeland has shown unprecedented strength in suffering and endurance. “In the fifth year, abandoned by its allies the German people could no longer wage war against the increas- ingly superior forces. The victory for the right which many had hoped has not been granted to us. But the German people has won this still greater victory over its self and its belief in the right of might. “From this victory we shall draw new strength for the hard time which faces us and on which you can also build.” BEMIDJI NOW HAS NEW LIBERTY BELL Bemidji has a Liberty Bell. Yep, sure 'nuff Liberty Bell, like the old one that rgng out the glad tidings of America’'s independence on that memorable day With the announcement of the signing of the surrender of Germany, pandemenium broke in Bemid4$i at an unesrthiy hour and whistles shriked The fire bell of the city was too slow in its intervening S(f()k(‘fl{ and willing hands on the part of sonds formed interwinding parades.
