The world war ended this morning at 6 o'clock, Washington time, 11 o'clock Paris time. The armistice was sign ed by the German representatives at midnight. This announcement was made by the state department at 2 :50 o'clock this morning. Germany has accepted the terms of armistice offered by the allied na tions and delivered through ' the hands of Marshal Foch to envoys who came from German grand head quarters begging p'eace. While details of the terms impos ed by the victorious allies have not yet been officially announced, it is generally understood that they are so stringent that acceptance of their condition leaves Germany physically incapable of resuming the war, which is therefor considered ended. The seventy-two hours of grace in which Germany had to frame her re ply to the, allies had nearly expired when the answer came. The cour ier sent from Marshal Foch's head quarters in France to German grand headquarters in Spa, Belgium, en countered great difficulties of travel, and was reported only Sunday morn ing to have reached Spa. Meanwhile, Marshal Foch having denied the plea of the German emis saries for a temporary cessation of fighting, the allied armies had plung ed forward steadily. France is now entirely clear of German soldiers, while allied fighters are marching onward in Belgium. Revoluton continues to spread throughout the German empire, with the ranks of the insurgents being hourly augmented. Kaiser Wilhelm and the crown prince are reported to have signed decrees of abdication and renunciation of the throne at Spa, while their messenger was on the way to them with the armistice terms, and the kaiser is reported to have fled into Holland.

Yesterdaj' morning William Hall, driving the oil wagon, left here with, a load of gasoline, and served a number of customers in the coun try, and was returning last night just after dark, the last party be ing Mr. Walforth west of Mynard. and after passing Mynard, on his way home, when arriving at the parsonage where Mr. Pontias lives turned north, because of the roads being better that way. He made the way all right until he had passed the home 'of Henry Eikenberry, hav ing four mules which were 'hitched abreast. When arriving at the foot of the hill whfre one drives into the lane leading to the home of Elbert Wiles, he passed under the row of Maple trees, overhanging the" road, which added to the darkness. Not being able to see the road, he trusted to the instinct of the mules Which he was driving, and two of the mules passed to the south end of culvert, overturning the tank wagon, throw ing Mr. Hall to the ground, and as he was catapulated from the seat he spoke to the team saying whoa, the team stepped instantly, with the result that one of the mules was knocked down by the overturning of the wagon, while it like Mr. Hall was caught and pinioned under the corner-of the tank. In this position and unable to help himself, Mr. Hall had to stand as he was able to get on his feet one only being caught, with a double tree under it and another one over it, and the tank on top of all.. After a - wait which seemed like the passing of the ages, all the time calling for help, a car came along, which he was able to stop. The car was that- of James Long of Murray, and had fils family, 'and John West therein. They after having investi gated went to the home of : C. H. Fuller, and secured a lantern and help, and returned getting also some help from other neighbors, they succeeded in getting the young man liberated. The situation was far from pleasant as the 5-oung K!n stood there with the rain descend ing in torrents, and all the time the water getting deeper wrhere he was fastened at the end of the bridge in the gutter, and with the surging current coming above his knees, and the mule which was fastened, near the point of drowning. This looked pretty black, when the -first car came along; driven by Mr." Long Af ter having been liberated he was brought to town and had his foot dressed and bandaged at the doctor's office, it being so swollen, that it cculd not be ascertained whether there-were any fractured bones or not. Mr. Hall is resting in bed this morning and says he feels pretty well with the exception of the pains which are in the crushed foot. John S. Hall, the father of the young man, had just arrived from Omaha, when he heard of the acci dent, and hastening to the country accompanied by G. W. Olson and C. X. Hansen, they endeavored to find him,, were given wrong di rections, and were not able to find him, but after having traversed the country to considerable extent, re turned and found the young man in the office of the ph3'sician, having the foot dressed.
