ARMISTICE REPORTED IN PRESENT ISSUE OF SCRIBNER’S MAGAZINE New York, April 28.—Germany’s appeal for an armistice on ‘Novem- ber 7, 1918 met with the laconic re- ply, “I have no terms” from Marshal Foch to Erzberger and the other plenpotentiaries, according to Raymond Recouly (Captain X). French biograph- er of Foch and Joffre, in an article entitled “What Foch Really Said” which will be published in the May issue of Scribner's Magazine out to- morrow, Historic Scene Captain Recouly, describing the his- toric scene of the morning of Novem- ber 11, when the generalissimo of the Allied forces, attended by a few mem- bers of his staff. signed the document in a railway dining car in a forest near Rethonde, a town between Com- Piegne and Soissons, declared “the sight of butter seemed to fill the German envoys with joy.” . The radio from the Germans ask- ing for “a cessation of hostilities in the name of Humanity,” was received by Foch shortly after midnight on the 7th and at 1:25 a. m. on the 8th Foch sent back his answer: “The German plenipotentiaries will, have to go to the outpost on the main road from ‘Maubeuge-la-Capelle-Guise.” ‘From this point they were brought by delayed stages to Rothende, which they reached about 7, o'clock in thé morning. Two hours later they were in the presence of the commander of the conquering allied armies, Cold Salute “There was a cold salute,” says Captain Kecouly, “a bow in return; no presentations. The Germans took their places at the table in the dining car, where their names were written, and remained standing. The officers seemed embarrassed and upset. Not so the civilians who did not seem. to care at all. They talked familiarly together; it was impossible to believe that their country’s fate was hang- ing in the balance,’and that they were there to sign the most ‘Kolossal’ capitulation the world had. ever seen.” Foch’s piercing eyes, gruff voice and curt manner were impressive. “To whom have I the honor of speaking?” asked. The Germans repli “What is the object ‘of your visit?” he asked. Then followed this di- alogue: ‘No Terms to Submit Eraberger: We. have come to in- (uire into the terms of an armisticé, to be concluded on land, on sea and in the air.” “Foch: to you.” Count Oberndorf, the diplomatist in the German party, interceded: “If the marshal prefers, ‘we may say that we. are here to learn the conditions on which the allies would be willing to grant us an armistice.” “Foch: I have no terms.” Erzgerber, drawing forth a greasy paper: “President Wilson has in- formed our government that Marshal toch has been invested with the pow- ed of submitting the allies’ conditions Thave no terms to submit to the German plenipotentiaries.” “Foch. 1 will let you know the allies’ conditions when you have ask- ed for an armistice. Do you ask for an armistice?” “Ja!” explained Oberndort and Erz- berger together. “A Word to the Wise” says the Good Judge You want real chewing satisfaction. A little of the Real Tobacco Chew lasts so much longer than the old kind. You don’t need a fresh chew nearly as often—so it Costs no more to chew this class of tobacco. Any man who uses the Real poeeces Chew will tell you at. Put Up In Two Styles RIGHT CUT is a short-cut tobacco | W-B CUT is a long fine-cut tobacco! | French: Reads Terms “Foch: In that case 1 will read you the terms drawn up by the allied governments.” ‘He sat down and the reading began. It lasted an hour, for the document had to be translated. The Germans pleaded for an immedi- ate suspension of hostinties and for time to permit the Berlin government to examine the terms. Again Foch spoke: “Iam but the mouthpiece of the allied governments. It is“those gov- ernments that have drawn up the con- ditions of the armistice limiting the delay to 72 hours’ duration. I have, therefore, no power to suspend hos- tilities without their authorization.” Dispatch Messenger The Germans at once dispatched a messenger to Spa, with credentials and the request that his journey. to Berlin be “facilitated.” When the messenger reached the German out- posts, it is related, the troops were so demoralized that they fired upon his white flag. Promiscuous volley firing continued and the emissary was unable to reach his destination until the next day. Meanwhile the German. envoys had notified Fosh of their difficulty and Foch agreed to permit them to send a German -of- ficer to Berlin by air. A plane was equipped and ready for the flight when word was received that. the messenger had reached Berlin. Captain Recouly declares the armis- tice was signed because Foch and his staff were convinced Germany was al- ready in the throes of a reyolution. The armistice envoys painted a “black picture” of the conditions. While the German government was analyzing the terms the plenipoten- tiaries remained near Foch in the forest at, Rethonde. They werd per- mitted to leave their train and, guard- ed by armed soldiers, exercise in the open air. On the afternoon of the 10th, 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 10th the following radio message was intercepted by the “German Government to German ‘Plenipotentiaries: The plenipotenti- aries are authorized to sign the armistice. (Signed) The Chancellor of the Empire.” Three ciphered fig- ures at the end of the message proved its authenticity. More than twelve hours of delibergtion and debate over’ the “harsh” terms followed. Foch granted, some concessions and refused’ the others, Subsequently the wearied French, English and Germans appended their signatures to the document, and, by prearrangement, six hours’ after the signing, or 11 a. m. of the morning of the 11th, operations ceased along all the fronts. Four years’ of war- fare which had cost more than 9,000,- 000 lives was at an end, Ringing of the curfew originated in England by William the Coa- queror, who directed that at the ring- ing of the bell at 8 o'clock all fires and lights should be extinguished.

I$ TO EMBRACE ENTIRE NATION Questionaire Sent Out Broad- cast to Get Data on Meas- use of Service Facts Already Secured Disclose Shortage in Teachers of. 65,000 New York, April 28.—A nationwide campaign to “measure service of teachers, school equipment and cours- | es of instruction,” so that every municipality may know how to, deal with %ts public school problem, has been started, it was announced here today, “by a national committe com- posed of secretaries of chamber. of commerce and superintendents . of schools representing 64 American cities. Grave Crisis On the ground that. the public schools of the United States are fac- ing a grave crisis due to the glleged need of $2,590,000,000 to ‘provide ade- quate buildings, and. $200,000 for rais- ing salaries to stop the increasing ‘shortage of teachers, the national cominittee says that it is enlisting the aid of chambers of commerce all oven the country for the purpose of acquainting every citizen and tax pay- er with the facts. 5 The committee was organizel last February at a meeting in Cleveland, U., called by Dr. George .. Strayer of Columbus university, chairman of the commission on emergency in educa- tion of the national education. associ- ation, and the American city bureau. Officers of the committee were elect- ed as follows: Dr. Strayer, chair- man; Herbert S. Weet ‘Rochester, ‘N. Y., Harold Davidson, Erie, Pa.; Fred A. Richardson, secretary, New York executive committee; Henry Snyder,’ Jersey City, ‘N. J.; R. G. Jones, Cleve- land, O.; J. H. Beveridge, Omaha, Nebr,; Raymond B. Gibbs, Kansas City, Kans.; S. B. Price, Bridgeport, Conn.; E. L. McColgin, Dayton, 0. Effective Aid ' The conference. decided that the chambers of commerce could render much effective aid only upon the basis of careful survey of local school conditions for the purpose of.compar- ing them with other cities, the idea being thereafter to enlist all com- munity forces for the development of the public school system. The first questionaire sent to cham- bers of commerce and superintendents of schools of all cities with a popula- tion of 8,000 and more, and which will be fotlowed by four other questionair- es makes the following’ Anquiries: “How much training do your teach- ers have? How well do you pay your school employes? What spectal. in- ducement do you offer the teachers in your . schools?” ‘Later questionaires will ask among other things: “How well do you house your school chil- dren What is your educational pro- Pram? How adequately do you safe- guard the children’s health? How much does education cost your city? how will the rising cost be met” Pressing Problems The American City bureau here which, with Dr. Strayer, initiated and is carrying out the present plans, ‘announced its desire “to make the main facts in the present emergency quickly available’ for those cities; where schopl problems are pressing hardest for solution. The question of getting high grade teachers and school employes, he said. has become a more ‘perplexing one than ever be- fore. Many. men and women it is said, have stopped going to Normal schools and teachers) colleges to pre- Pare themselves as. pedagogues. In round numbers Richardson said, there will be 50 percent fewer gradu- ates from these school in the United States in 1920 than in 1917, “The ‘United States is now actual- ly 35,000 short of the number of teachers required to, fill positions,” said Mr, Richardson. “This shortage exists after about 65,000 make-shift teachers have been employed; in other words,’ the: real shortage of trained and experienced teachers is fully 100,000. The cost of living has increased at least 80 percent in the bast six years and yet teachers have had a salary increase of less than 30 Percent since 1914. Building pro- grams also have been held up by the war. Many communities have out- grown their school plants and over- crowded half-day, sessions, and’ the forced use of portable and temporary school buildings have been evils which cry out for remedy.” REDUCE MULCH ON STRAWBERRIES Leave Thin Covering on Plants, Says Expert Agricultural College, ‘N..D., April SCHOOL SURVEY FACING A.
