OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM PARIS.
The announcement was made verbally by an official
of the State department in this form: "The armistice has
been signed. It was signed at 5 o clock a. m., Paris time,
and hostilities will cease at 11 o'clock this morning, Paris
time,
TERMS OF ARMISTICE.
The terms of the armistice, it was announced, will not
be made public until later. Military men here, however,
regard it as certain that they include:
Immediate retirement of the German military forces
from France, Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine.
Disarming and demobilization of the German armies.
Occupation by the allied and American forces of such
strategic points in Germany as will make it impossible to
renew hostilities.
TAKE OVER HIGH SEAS FLEET.
Delivery of part of the German high seas fleet and a
certain number of submarines to the allied and American
naval forces.
Disarmament of all other German warships under
supervision of the allied and American navies which will
guard them.
Occupation of the principal German naval bases by
sea forces of the victorious nations.
Release of allied and American . soldiers, sailors and
civilians held prisoners in Germany without such recipro
cal action by the associated governments.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 11. 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.

From Thursday's Daily.
Last "evening Superintendent
Flynn of the Burlington and Engi
neer Frank S. Harrow of the Bur

in the city, coming on an inspection
tour, and remained over night. They
were looking over the new boarding

One Mule Also Canght, And Nearly!
Drowned While Rain Descends
in Torrents.
From Thursday's Dally.
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.
