Premature Peace Celebrations
Have Unfortunate Endings;
Whole Nation is Disap
pointed by Hoax. 4
New York, Nov. "8. Millions of
Americans realized today that they
had been hoaxed into celebratin1
the end of the war by publication of
the United Press dispatches declar
ing the armistice signed and fight
ing ended.
Twenty-jour hours have passed
iince the country was thrown into
1 delirium by these reports, which
Jeclared the armistice had been
signed at 11 o'clock yesterday morn
ng and that fighting had ceased at
!rt'clock yesterday afternoon.
Each hour brings added-' official
evidence that the reports were false
ind that the American people were
t 'ooled. Not only have official com
munications from France to the
State department at Washington
Jenounccd the reports as untrue,
jut the official statements of the
French and British war offices show
.he fighting is still going on.
, Far from signing an armistice at
II o'clock yesterday morning, tne
jerman delegate's did not cross the
dlied line until last night. This is
recorded in Associated Press dis
patches filed in Paris at 4:20 o'clock
this morning. The German dele
gate were to be conducted early to
day "o the meeting place, which is
four hours' journey from La Capelle,
the place where they crossed the al
ied lilies.
The Associated Press did not re-
:eive or distribute any of the dis
patches which misled the American
people into celebrating the greatest
hoax of recent years. On the other
hand, by investigation through offi
cial channels, the 'Associated Tress
as able to deny it.
' ' Big Fire Loss.
Marblehead,Mass., Nov. 8. Plant
'Jo, 2 of the Burgess Aeroplane
company, which was filled with
government airplanes, and the plant
of Stearne & McKay company, con
taining more than 40 yachts, were
destroyed tonight with an estimated
loss, of $300,000 by (ire caused by
spontaneous combustion in the
paint shop of the Burgess company,
whose plantkhad been shut dovn in
order to permit workmen to cele
brate what proved false reports of
the signing of an armistice by G.
" many. Bef ore the watchman could
reach the scene the flames had
jained great headway.

bne Is Dead.
New Castle, Pa., Nov. 8. An un
identified 14-year-old boy is dead Ta I'iwiitorfiil (l

pitals today Buffering from serious j
injuries as a result of accidents !
which marred the premature peace :
celebration here last nigfft. The
Destroyers Menace to
AD Craft on Seas in
Dashes in Darkness
On Board an American Vessel in
Trench Waters. (Corr:spondence
of the Associated Tress.) An
American vessel with her depth
bombs ready to be discharged is in
deed a dangerous craft to monkey
with. She is a menace not only to
the enemy, but to any other craft
with which she might collide, and to
herself as well, in, the darkness
running without lights.". If one of
her depth bombs loaded with"its
heavy charge of TNT should be ac
cidentally exploded there would be
little left of the destroyer.
The deadly depth charge, which is
proving to be the conclusive answer
to the submarine menace now, is be
ing released from every quarter of
the destroyer. -Two of these 'big
cylinders of high explosives can be
dropped from, the bridge by the
pressure of a button, amidships
Thorncroft throwers drop a charge
from either side of the destroyer,
forming a barrage.
"Yrguns" are stationed amid
ship with two barrels, each of which
throws a depth-charge one to port
an '. the other to starboard. Finally
astern, there are two long lines of
depth charges running on minature
r ;lway tracks, ready to be dropped
over the stearn.
With all these depth'bomb charg
e. ready to be let loose forward", aft
and amidships a complete envel
oping barrage can be put in oper
ation any time. With the destroy
ers completely enveloping the trans
ports the water barrage extends its
protecting sweep entirely around the
fleet.
Great care is taken against any
collisions in the darkness which
would release the depth charges.
Wryle the shock of a collision would
not cause an explosion the depth
bomb might destroy its own ship by
exploding when it reached the depth
fixed by the fuse. Such an explosion
has actually occurred in one case,
dojng considerable damage but caus
ing no fatalities. This incident has
given warning of the extreme care
needed to guard against night col
lisions when the fleet is going
through the darkness with all the
lights out. V
Two'Are Killed When New , v
York Celebrates Fake News
New York, Nov. 8. Mrs. Louise t
Thompson, widow of Howard N.
Thompson, one time correspondent
bf the Associated Tress at Paris and
Petrograd, and her daughter, Marg
aret, 10 years, old, were killed last
night at the height of the celebra
tion in Yonkers over the false armis
tice reports, when an automobile
struck and hurled them under . a
trolley car. They were caug.it in a
pocket in the crowd while crossing a
street shortly before midnight. The
driver of the motor car was arrested
charged with homicide.

Woman is Killed.
Boise, Nov. 8. The peace cele
" bration was quieted at Twin Falls,
Idaho, yesterday when Mrs. Amos
. A. Wright, aged 50, was kill
ed while joining in the hilarities. A
portion of the street had just been
roped off for the dancers and pa
raders, whjn an automobile crashed
"into the taut rope and broke it. In
the recoil the snapping rope hit
Mrs. Wright and threw her agains,t
another automobile. Her skull was
' fractured, and she died within IS
jnimites.
Death in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Nov. 8. Celebration
of the fake report that the Germans
had signed the armistice agreement
caus-.de one death, the shooting of
two and the more or less serious
. injury of 14 other, persons. The
deaths, shooting and accidents oc
curred yesterday afternoon and last
nght. Joyous crowds, believing
Germany had surrendered, reveled
m the city's streets.
Nicola Francino, 15 years old, was
killed by an unknown person while
standing in frjjnt of his home watch
ing a parade. He fell with a bullet
in his neck. ,
George Wharton, a policeman,
was shot in the leg by some un
known person in a crowd.
William G. Schoen,'47. was shot
in the neck. A young girl reveler
was arrested, charged with firing
the shot. I
v A young man was pushed eneath
a trolley car by a surging crowd.
Both legs were crushed. His condi
tion is critical. Thirteen others
; were hurt, mostly by being hit by
! motor cars in densely crowded
streets. v
Of all the most vital times in a woman's
life the coming of baby is fraught with the
greatest meaning. Care should be exercised
to insure that the crisis is passed in
safety.
Apprehension is avoided by the timely
use of Mother's Friend, a preparation of
penetrating oils and medicinal ingredients,
which renders the muscles, cords, tendon i
and ligaments pliable, and thus tension
la avoided. The usual nervousness, nausea,
bearing-down and stretching pains are
counteracted and the period is one of calm
repose. v
The broad, flat abdominal muRt'lp relnx
rwith ease, and when baby cotnfs the time
at in crisis is less ana pain and danger
is avoided.
Thousands of women for half u cetitury
have used this penetrating external appli
cation, prepared especially for expectant
mothers, and every woman awaiting the
crisis should give nature a helping hand.
Write the Bradfield Regulator Company,
Dept. F. Lamar Building, Atlanta, Georgia,
for their Motherhood Book, of great value
to all women, and obtain a bottle of
Mother's Friend from the druggist and be
gin its application regularly night and

Italians Pay Tribute to the
United States for War Help
. Rome, Nov. 8. "The heroic Ital
ian army, ably seconded by the
navy, which played a greater part
Jai)btainin victory than is gener
ally supposed, have at last brought
the Italian war to a successful and
glorious conclusion," said Lieuten
ant Commander Rizzo to the As
sociated Press yesterday. Lieuten
ant Commander Rizzo directed the
daring raid into the inner harbor
at Trieste in December last, when
two Austrian battleships were sunk
by torpedoes
"At this hour," he continued,
"when hopes of many years are
abemt to be realized? it is interest
ing to look back and see the im
mense debt the entente owes to
America. Without its' moral
port the allies might havegiven
hope. Without its" food 'the all
might have been starved. Without
its supplies and materials it might
have been an impossibility to carry
on the war.; Thus Italy might
never have had the chance' to ob-
tain the splendid victory of today."

Aug. 15. "For some time I sufv

my legs. From my knees dovm they
were covered with scales, and itched

I tried helped me, until a druggist
recommended Resinol Ointment,
After applying it once, I enjoyed
the first good night's '-deep I had
