been re-elected by a safe majority.

resentative and Cal Cox for sheriff were defeated.

LONDON. -The German delegation reached

to cross into the allied lines. . . They were received
by Marshal Foch at daylight this morning.
, AMSTERDAM. The commission which

t erf eld. Vice Admiral Meurer and Admiral Paul
on Hintze.
LONDON. With the capture of Sedan by

two and surrender was the only thing for the Ger
mans to do.
LONDON. German sailors at Kiel have mu
tinied and captured the battleships Kaiser and
Schleswig-Holstein and refuse to return to their

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. Armistice terms
prepared for Germany by the supreme war coun
cil soon will be in the hands of German emissaries
now on their way from Berlin to the western front
but the time that must elapse before there is a de
'cision as to their acceptance or rejection probably
will depend largely upon the powers with which
the German delegation has been clothed.
There is nothing here to indicate just what
authority has been conferred upon these repre
sentatives of the German government. The of
ficial announcement from Berlin via London to
day said:
"A German delegation to conclude an armi
stice and take up peace negotiations has left for
the western front," but the language employed
may or may not be significant. Officials here have
assumed that the German representatives, after
securing the terms from Marshal Foch, will trans
mit them by telegraph or convey them personally
to the German high command in the field, for it is
understood to be the purpose in the present case,
as was done with Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria,
to deal with the armistice as purely a military is
sue between the military commands.
Should this procedure be followed, it is re
garded here as probable that several days may
elapse while the German general staff, now, nom
inally, at least, subordinate to the civil govern
ment, can consider the conditions laid down and
reach a decision. There can be no argument as
to the terms no matter how harsh they may ap
pear to the Germans.
The only course left to Germany is to accept
or reject them. Meantime Marshal Foch is ex
pected to continue the pressure on the Teutonic
armies, which now threatens their safety on a 200
mile front.
